Yeah! That's what I like to see! A game thread made before the day of the game. I remember back in the day I would go to this forum to see who the Bulls were playing next.

It's always fun to beat Detroit. Go Bulls!

I expect a really good game from D Rose, usually this season the more rest he gets the better he plays. Hopefuly the wing rotation is just Jimmy, Dun Dun and Snell, no Kurt.

2/20 starts real season for Bulls.

Next five games... Friday night in Detroit and then 4 in a row at the UC. Really need to go at least 4-1 in these next 5 because we have a tough stretch after that.

I am going through withdrawals

I have been watching highlight videos

Can't wait to see us play the new & improved, Josh Smith-less Pistons.

Are the Bulls' still on All-Star break or did they practice today?

Hopefully everyone will be healed up, rested and ready to go by Friday

Phew. Thank goodness for the all-star break. I was a fatigued poster, but the days off have revitalized me. My satire has been front of the rim short. My premises have been missing the intended recipients causing my turnover totals to skyrocket. My answers have been bad shots out of frustration and the constant pounding i was taking from too many minutes had me typing with tired fingers and stole all my lift. But in practice today I was nothin' but net.

I really think the post ASG season is going to be a fun ride. I love the fact that even on this home board, the Bulls are being dismissed and discounted by many. Time for the Bulls to start bullying and end up entering the playoffs as a 2 seed with all the momentum. This is the time of the season when the fun starts!

Rose usually goes off on mini PGs. And he always goes off on the Pistons.

Gonna be a blowout win, depending on if Noah didn't have too much fun on his time off.

Bulls own the Pistons in recent years. Close game first half then we pull away in the second half.

If the playoffs started tomorrow we would be in a pretty good spot on paper. Milwaukee in the 1st round.. With Cleveland vs. Washington. We would get the winner of Toronto v Charlotte in the 2nd while the winner of the Cavs-Wiz gets ATL (or Miami).

Of course there is only 6 games separating the 2nd seed from the 6th right now and the 7th and 8th seed are up for grabs between 6 teams, so a lot can happen.

Man, that would be awesome if it ended up like that in the end.

Same, so much so that I watched a really old Suns vs Sonics playoff series game last night. Man, Charles Barkley was such a beast. People who compare Blake Griffin to Barkley have forgotten how truly dominate he was. So amazing to watch him in his prime, at his size just dominating with not only scoring, but rebounding and play making for others with sweet passes.

It was no joke that he was once considered the best power forward of all time.

BEAT THE PISTONS AT ALL COSTS!!!!
