Yeah he hasn’t been getting them injuries in game or getting the early 2 (usually only 1 is a for sure a wtf call, sometimes both) phantom fouls early lately, hopefully all that is a thing of the past.

Good team win

Anyone else wonder how Donovan still has a coaching job? His lineups are just horrendous. Crazy ass 4 guard lineup against a huge team like Detroit is just stupid.

Small ball defense works if you have the right defenders.

Which the Bulls very clearly don’t. Nevertheless they persist.

Bulls trade Lavine to Kangs, Fox to Spurs.

Pistons stealing souls and causing teams to tear down

[Kalamazoo317]

Do the Bulls have the worst rim defense in the league? We pretty much got to the basket at will

Kings fire coach after loss to Pistons
Mavs trade Luka after loss to Pistons

This is a real thing, lol.

Patrick Williams plays a lot like Kawhi if he started playing basketball last year.

Another great win. Lonzo’s defense is superb. Still think he’ll be ours at the deadline.

Thats what im hoping.

Pistons got 8-9 second round picks to burn.

Let's go!

Fun game to watch.

That Holland causing havoc with the Bulls inbounding the ball was a fun stretch.

In a vacuum if you were to watch Patrick Williams you would think man if he puts it together in todays NBA he could really be something. If Weaver was here NO DOUBT Williams is a Piston with the cap room that we have lol.

Repeating myself but Lonzo looks to be moving really well.

Zach was out because his wife was giving birth to a baby named De'Aaron.
I'd love to have seen Ron Holland and Ausar hound Zach.
I'd like to see us win against someone not missing a big star.

These are the kind of games we need to take care of if we're serious about making the playoffs, and we did.

Shoutout to Jalen Duren, over last 9 games - 15.0 ppg, 12.6 rpg, 2.3 apg, 2.2 stocks, 73.4% FG and 79.2% FT. He's been a beast.

Cade's ascension to superstar is obvious and clearly endorsed by the league. He shot A FREE THROW last night! Sadly, he missed.
Ron Holland's first half defensive blitz was something special. +/- is a flawed stat IMO, but Ron's was second to only Cade's yesterday.
Duren had a nice game. Team needs to examine his off season routine as he never seems to find his rhythm until around the AS break.
A good team win, although they had to overcome their standard first quarter malaise.

Cade being endorsed by the league is great for us, let’s hope the league keeps having dyren not in foul trouble too, that will go a long way for his development as it has the past2-3 weeks.

That's not true. Duren came out with his hair on fire the first four games last season and seemed like he was on an All-star trajectory. And *then* he started playing like poop.

His play has been noticeably better as of late, more controlled. Still not sure where he fits long term as a starter on a contender unless he expands his range or gets better defensively but he's showing some tangible improvements at least.

The Pistons set a team record for paint points (80! Freaking 80!) And still shot less free throws then the Bulls. (20 to 13)

It is bewildering to me, why the refs just absolutely loathe to give Cade free throws. It puzzles me to know end.

League can get **** as far as I'm concerned over this particular issue.

[Kalamazoo317]

There was a ton of arm contact on our drivers that the refs let go
