Cant stand these guys, even if they're record is mediocre. Must beat them, no reason to be 0-2 against them for the season.

What a bad ass.

Chicago always gives us fits. Their forwards pretty much abuse us everytime we play. Deng, Nocioni and even Tyrus seem to have their way. Hopefully Jmax can have a nice game himself or in some way help to neutralize their energy.

Bulls by 20.

Play Flip over Jarvis.
Play Rodney with Chauncy (When Rip is out)
Play Rip with Prince (when Chauncey is out)
Play Afflalo 20+ minutes (with Chauncey or Rip)

More points from Rasheed, Antonio, & Jason, then from Rip & Chauncey

Play weakside D like it's 2004.
Keep Ben Wallace of the stripe
Give it to Rip in the 4th.

Yeah, that sounds good.

Matchup: Pistons 29-11; Chicago 15-22 (entering Friday).
Tip-off: 8:30, United Center.

TV/radio: Channel 20, WGN; WDFN-AM (1130).
Line: Pistons by 5 1/2 .

Injuries: Detroit -- None. Chicago -- G Kirk Hinrich (back), probable; F Andres Nocioni (hip), doubtful.Overview: Chicago has been one of the most disappointing teams this season, from its horrendous start that led to the firing of Scott Skiles to recent internal squabbles. But the Bulls are 2-0 against the Pistons this season.

The skinny: The Bulls are 2-0 against the Pistons this season, which pretty much sums up the good news for Chicago. Other than, the 2007-08 season has been an unmitigated disaster for a team that pushed the Pistons to six games in the second round of the playoffs last season and added veteran forward Joe Smith in free agency and 6-foot-11 Joakim Noah in the draft lottery from two-time defending national champion Florida. But the Bulls stumbled so badly out of the gate

You know, its mid-january, and we're pretty much guranteed a top 2 or 3 seed, and I can safely say that this is a must-win game for us.

I don't want Chicago in the first round, and you know they are gonna creep into the playoffs, after giving them 2 wins already that could make the difference, we need to smack the **** out of them tonight, especially after getting swept by Sacramento... I know we can come out flat and play down to competition... but come on, not tonight. We need a thrashing.

You guys are going to beat us like a drum.

Bulls seldom win the second of a back-to-back (only done once this year) and we seldom beat winning teams. This is Bulls 5th game in 7 days.

I dread watching it on WGN. Maybe I'll watch Warriors - Bucks instead.

Well we seldom win games against you guys in the regular season, and love to blow games we should win, so i think we are both screwed.

I'll call a tie

I predict a win.

If we lose, I'll post pictures of myself eating my Rip Hamilton jersey.
