Bulls @ Pistons game thread

[Kush77]

Bulls up 10-4, Rose looking aggressive so far. He needs to be that way every game the rest of this year. This is his team. I have no problem with him taking over on offense.

[Kush77]

Rodney Stuckey, a nasty ankle roll. That looked bad, made me cringe.

[JimmyBulls]

Wow, that Stuckey ankle sprain looked bad.

[TheStig]

Wow, how many ankle inuries can one team have.

[theCHI_Life84]

now would be a good time to contact Mueller for an ankle brace sponsorship.

tyrus looks like he is really playing hard out there, finally

Yeah, Ben Gordon's "giant killer" didn't work on Tyrus Thomas. He got up on that block.

Most giants don't jump that high.

[theCHI_Life84]

holy shit stuckey just had his ankle pwned again. horrible. this one looked even worse

[theCHI_Life84]

rose is getting his ft's today, hopefully this becomes a trend and refs start giving him the respect he deserves

[??? ??????]

Derrick is doing a nice job finishing or drawing a foul on the fastbreak today.

[theCHI_Life84]

pistons fought back in this one. good win for the bulls, kept in control for most of the game but still almost blew the lead.

Stacey King is crazy! He was trippin on Funk wearing old cologne...Jovan Musk, Old Spice...hilarious.

[houheffna]

Before the season, I just didn't see the Pistons having a better roster than the Bulls...and watching them...they are bad...

[Kush77]

Three straight wins now. This team has played really well since the 2nd half of the Knicks game last week.

Tyrus Thomas is looking good and I'll admit I didn't think hi return would mean much as far as wins and losses. But he's contributed big time in the three wins.

[vhans5219]

Good win by the Bulls let's hope the Bulls keep on winning.

[flipcyde23]

I'm here in Grand Rapids, Michigan lovin this win...Get to rub it in to all my Piston fan friends...I hated watching thru the Pistons network with all the bias. Go Bulls!!!

[Frank Breakfast Styleham]

I stand corrected. Both teams went head to head full strength and the Bulls won, Hamilton had an atrocious game.

Way to go Bulls.

[JimmyBulls]

Good win for the Bulls, the least they can do is split the season series with Benny G's Pistons.

The Bulls may have short term problems with their need for a consistently production four, and a spot up shooter. But the Pistons are a team that will have short and long term problems with their roster if some type of trade isn't made to balance them out.

On a side note, the Bulls will end 2009 in the 7th spot in the Eastern Conference.

Bulls look like they have quite the productive four in Tyrus Thomas.

Pistons will be interesting to watch. The Charlie Villanueva signing will probably hurt them for awhile. Dead contract weight. They also need to start Gordon and just turn the team over to him and Stuckey, and build towards the future. Not only are Hamilton and Prince selfish ballhogs, but they both suck now too.

That Stuckey-Gordon backcourt doesn't seem like it will work to me. They need a defensive point guard to stop penetration. That's why the Hinrich-Gordon backcourt work so great as Hinrich provided the defense and outside shooting while Gordon did the scoring

[Shakes]

I wouldn't say Hamilton and Prince suck, they've just been injured. Hamilton's contract always was a stupid idea though. I don't think Charlie V is dead contract weight, if anything he's the reason the Pistons have won as many games as they have. It's no coincidence that his slump has coincided with the Piston's losing streak.

[houheffna]

Kendell Gill finally said today that the Gordon talk should be put to bed...move on. Right on Mr. Gill...

I was thinking more of a guy that can score at least 18 ppg, give the team at least 8 rebounds rpg, and shoot at a higher percentage than Thomas is capable of doing. I like Thomas, but I think he'd be the perfect backup power forward to give a team a spark off the bench.
