Blake, you do not take a three early in the shot clock up by 10 with under two minutes to go, no matter how open you are. Come on, dude; you're better than that.

Welcome back Griffin. Closing like a boss.

What a game. I had given up on them thinking this wasn't the new pistons who are actually good.

Shame, shame, shame.

Blake carried us in the 4th. Impressive. His 3 point shot has been looking like **** tho.

Team is very impressive right now all around

Not gonna lie, if we stay 6 and get Indiana I think the pacers are toast.

We played ourselves into a hole in the first half, gave the Bulls a lot of confidence and irritable swagger. Thank God their game caught up with them and a few of our guys finally showed up.

Can't do this against better teams, though... Gotta keep playing desperate & hungry, stay hot from the 3, keep making plays for each other.

Always entertaining reading these game threads after a comeback win :lol:

With the Lakers conceding the playoff race apparently, Lebron is going on minutes restriction and won't play B2B games which means he will likely be out against us when we play against LA as they play against the Raptors the night before.

They'll still be favored over the Pistons

Just announced Lonzo Ball is out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury. They're likely wanting a better pick to package for Davis and or another star.

The NBA will probably gift Lebron's team with another 1st overall pick with an 11th place finish.

I wasn't able to watch this live and DVRed it. Watched the postgame show before the game and knew the early part of the thread would be lit.

Lucky me! Saved me the suffering of watching this one live.

Nice comeback. But you might wonder, why are we down 20+ points against one of the worst teams in the league?
