[*]Don't fall behind too far. [*]Make open shots [*]Get the ball to Curry in the low post. [*]Play 48 minutes on both ends of the court. [/list] ObieCent's Take: The Pistons lost 8 there 10 last games, that may be demoralizing. I think this game will be close throughout the whole game, but eventually Detroit makes a run and caps the game off. Predicted Final Score Detroit 89< Chicago 82 (My first preview)
Thanks for replying Tim. I really think this is a winnable game for the Bulls(but we never close games out), the Pistons are in a stoop, if Crawford scores 22+ i think we will win.

I think the pistons are gonna go with this game.I have a feeling that Sheed is goin to have his pistons breakout game today.If Crawford has 24 or more I think they could have a chance.But I say Pistons by 8.
haha.,... as NORM says, "play 48 minutes of basketball." It looks like the Pistons win in all those matchups so hopefully the bench will be able to pulld through as they did the previous nights. I still think ths Bulls can win this one though, but who knows... that's why I don't bet on Bulls games... haha
Come on Prophecy, you need some more faith in your team. Great first preview. I can't go conservative in this game, Pistons are a better team than the Bulls and need to play that way, Pistons by 13.

Maybe my boys up in Chi-Town can pull it off today. Bulls by 5 Jamal needs to have a big game for us to win.
Pistons have a 51/43 lead at the half Leading Scorers CHI-Curry, 12 pts DET-Billups, 12 pts _________________________ Final Detroit 107 Chicago 88 Marquee Matchup Kirk Hinrich 14 pts 7 ast 2 reb Chauncey Billups 14 pts 6 ast 2 reb Kirk wins, but barely. This is just a personal achievement so don't say "Chauncey should have won because their team won". Box Score
Haha, it seemed liek the Bulls stopped trying. I wouldve stopped trying to. The 2nd half was soooo boring, so I started to watch MTV and Newlyweds instead. Yay! Let's just hope they'll win against the Wizards tomorrow... this one they have to get becasue it definitely IS possible.
