I expect the bulls to come back strong at home tonight. So far detroits defense has shut us out, but the thing is, detroit doesn't lose at home, even I can admit that, but that's also true for us. I still see us as having a chance to win the series, on paper we have a lot more depth, if we can utilize it like we did agaist miami, we can easily win the next four games.
I honestly can't see the Bulls "easily" winning the next 4 games. I don't even see them winning 2 the way they've played in so far. They handled the Heat but weren't ready for the playoffs this season. While I expect this game to be closer than the first 2, the Pistons win this game. The Bulls will win the 4th game, but that's about it.
Like I said if we utilize our talent we can beat the pistons in the next four games, so far this series we havent, but when we get on fire no team in the nba can beat us.
People forget the fact that Detroit had a better record away from home then they did at home. Everybody is talking about Chicago is the underdog now but I dont see it. Everyone is saying they will get back into this. Detroit wont let a 2-0 lead slip, and I see them winning tonight and probably sweeping.
In the first half we played like I was talking about in my post earlier and had a 19 point lead but we just fell apart. After that, I dont think we can win the series, detroit just outplayed us but we're still very young. It took Jordan's bulls a few years to get past the pistons, and maybe it will be at least another year wait, but we'll be a year stronger while detroit will be a year slower.
Bulls leading the game going into halftime, I think we might have a good chance to win this game. we've figured out how to score on detroit at the least.

Why you a Piston Fan? Boo. Detroit will win this game, IMO. But I would love Chicago to win to keep the Pistons playing so they get less rest for the next round.

The Pistons weren't expected to dominate them as the first 2-3 games indicated. They've (Chicago) got their wins now so hopefully the Pistons pull it together and finish them in Game 6.

I told you we have the ability to keep the series going and win/ Look at it this way if we win our next game at home, we will be playing in a game 7. If the 8 seed warriors can beat the mavs then I think the bulls at least have a chance going into game 6, now we have a series.
I havent give up hope at all, but Detroit needs to force more effort. This better not turn into last year where Cleveland pushes them into brink and wears them down for the next series.Anyways, Chicago cant shoot as good as they did in Game 5, for more than one game.
If we can win tonight I will take the bulls to win the series. im hoping because if we can get past detroit, I doubt cleveland will give us that much of a run.
If Chicago wins tonight, I bet they win the series as well. Momentum is a huge issue in the playoffs, and Chicago has all of the momentum.
too bad we're eliminated now but we're a young team so we are only going to get better. This was a good year for bulls fans, we took out the defending champs,won the most games in the post-jordan era, and finally got in the second round. next year championship.
Man, Detroit finally pulled it off. It took them a while longer than it probably should of but they still got it done, and before Cleveland or New Jersey won, so fatigue wont be a factor.4 straight ECF's. Go Pistons!
