The 2007 Chicago Bulls Playoff Thread

[Jon]

Billups tries to hack Deng and get the foul, so he follows that up by complaining to the ref about it.

DETROIT SUCKS! DETROIT SUCKS! DETROIT SUCKS! DETROIT SUCKS!

Yay, I told y'all the Bulls wouldn't get swept. :)

You won't see me argue.

About time Skiles realized that TT would do just fine in the fourth, especially as PJ Brown was running on fumes and the Bulls weren't getting boards.

[Brian]

So glad they didn't get swept. Hopefully they can parlay this into a solid showing in Detroit. Let's make Detroit earn it.

It really, really sucks that we blew that game 3 lead now.

 

Really. :cry:

Yeah, I know...Would've loved going back to Detoilet all tied up at 2. But if we can steal game 5, we'll have a series again.

Yeah.

 

Of course if the Bulls had held on to game 3, I'd expect a different Pistons team would have come out today and the Bulls might still be going to Detroit down 3-1. But still, game 3 was a major disappointment.

I'm sure glad they came out and fought today. Detroit went on their comback run again, and this time finally we hit a few shots and defended a little better.

 

If nothing else, hopefully they'll put that in their back pocket and learn from it. Got to snuff out those comebacks in the playoffs.

Well that game was fun. Sat in the 200 section, and I had an absolute blast. For a lot of no shows, the crowd that was there was great. I really, really, really wish they had won game 3, because this game would have been even more crazy. I love the towels too. I think its so cool looking around and seeing thousands of people waving them. Lets go Bulls!

I have a strangely good feeling here. Skiles has finally put TT in, he's playing well, the Bulls looked good today.

 

All I know is, the Pistons better not let us steal game 5 in Detroit, because game 6 is in Chi-town, then anything can happen in a game 7...

I can't ask for much more than for them to win game 5. If they do, they get a chance to tie the series up at home, and anything can happen in game 7 (plus the pressure would be insanely intense on the Pistons), like you said.

 

Win game 5 and I'm as satisfied as I can be, anything after that is gravy.

The Bulls are not going into Detroit and taking Game 5. There is no way. This isn't as much of a certainty as Golden State winning Game 3 was (around 99.999999) but it's close. I don't see a veteran team like the Pistons blowing Game 5 at home. I would love to see it happen but I don't think it will.

I think you'll be hard pressed to find anyone (Bulls fan or not) who thinks it will happen. However, like many people pointed out, if the Bulls do pull off the upset, it would make things verrrrrry interesting after that.

At least it makes the game interesting.

If the Bulls win Game 5, the Pistons will have an enormous amount of pressure squarely upon their shoulders.

Skiles need to get his head out of his rear and play Tyrus more. The energy he brings on the court clearly offsets any rookie mistakes he might make.

It's amazing how far we've come from the "Tyrus Sucks" and "Wasted Pick" comments that were being made about Tyrus at the beginning of the year.

He has won me over with his play as the season goes on. And if him on the court keeps guys like Michael Sweetney on the bench, even better.

I don't know if Tyrus will ever be a superstar but he has the potential to be the most exciting player to watch in the NBA. His athleticism is just amazing. Him and Ben Gordon are my fav Bulls right now.

[Derwood]

don't forget his tremendous leaping ability

rob (philly): I thought we were going to get through a whole chat without a Piston fan complaining about a lack of respect. You'd think these people actually play they get so offended.

 

SportsNation John Hollinger: Wow, you're right ... the respect card always seems to pop up no matter the topic. They've adopted the players' chip on the shoulder and taken it to a whole new level. By the way, in anticipation of spending a lovely seven days in Troy, Michigan this June, we look forward to any suggestions from suburban Michiganders on things you can do out there that don't involve a strip mall or chain restaurant.
