Re: #16 - Pistons-Bulls - 7pm ET
We could be .500 after this game which feels surreal with almost a fifth of the season over.

Re: #16 - Pistons-Bulls - 7pm ET
Yeah, definitely makes the games more interesting to watch when you think they could win, as opposed to losing 28 in a row.

I despise the Bulls almost as much as I despise the Packers.

It’s hard for me to maintain the high levels of animosity when there’s so much player turnover and there hasn’t been a rivalry in so long.
How do you do it?

Re: #16 - Pistons-Bulls - 7pm ET
The Pistons schedule is ridiculous. It's kind of a miracle, even against mostly weak teams, that they're 7-4 in their last 11 with such a condensed schedule and some injuries to deal with. 5 games in 7 days, 6 in 9, 7 in 11. These guys must be running on fumes at this point.

Every time I see a picture of Jordan, it reignites.

Re: #16 - Pistons-Bulls - 7pm ET
I think Greg mentioned the Pistons tough schedule. We had to play some great teams, and very little time in between games. I like it as a fan, not having more than one day without a game, including back-to-backs. I really hope we win tonight. This is how you attract better players.

Re: #16 - Pistons-Bulls - 7pm ET
I would be shocked at a victory here. This is the exact game young teams, with new coaches/players drop on a routine basis.

Not sure what's so shocking about the home team that's favored winning a game when both teams are on a back to back. Pistons take this.

Re: #16 - Pistons-Bulls - 7pm ET
Young teams, big heads. Think they are good enough to play at half speed. Going exactly as I thought it would.
Let's see how they respond.

I kinda wanna see Beasley in the starting lineup. He's been playing well.
Cade/Sasser
Ivey/THj
Beasley/Ausar
Tobias/Tech
Duren/Stew

Re: #16 - Pistons-Bulls - 7pm ET
Absolutely. Beasley is a starter in the NBA, and a pretty good one. Tony Hawk Jr is, and always will be a bench guy.Cowology wrote:I kinda wanna see Beasley in the starting lineup. He's been playing well.

I could complain about Bickerstaff, but its difficult when this years team is several months ahead of last years in the win column.

Ivey was the guy we really needed to take a big step fwd, but adding Tobias AND Beasley is huge. I dunno, it's just wierd not having 3 non-shooters out there. Like I forgot what normal teams with actual NBA talent look like.
