2006-2007 Chicago Bulls

Its all about running the offiense.  If they are moving the ball the shots are open and the high percentages are not unusual.  If the are not moving the ball the shots are a lot tougher and will be made at a much lower percentage. I still think the Pistons are the best team in the East and perhaps in the NBA.  However, the Bulls are much better than anybody gives them credit for and certainly much better than they played in the first two games.  Guard play certainly seems to rule in this series.  Its a given that the big boys have to do their job.  However, the Pistons guards were awsome in the first two games and the Bulls guards in the last two.  Game three was a push in this regard. Looking forward to the next [two] games I hope to see Big Ben Wallace with a smile on his face in Detroit.

I am really enjoying watching the Baby Bulls grow up. The simple fact that they didn't cave in and give the series to Detriot is a huge step in the right direction. Regardless of the outcome of the series now I am very pleased with the effort they have put forth as a team in the past 2.5 games. If this is what it takes for them to learn that every game in the playoffs needs to be played like it is the last game you will every play so be it. It will make them better next year. This is not their year to win a championship. If they do great but I really did not expect it. This team has a very strong core group of young players. All they really need to add is a low post power forward and maye a defensive center to come off the bench. With the cap room they will have from Sweetny, Allen, & Brown this could all be done next year with free agents. Plus they have a low 1st round draft pick. The future looks very very good for this young Bulls team.

I am wondering if we have a Detroit based troll lurking beneath the message board.  My post above has the last sentence crossed out and I cannot figure out why it reads like that. I did not do it.  I tried to modify it but it still shows the line about Ben Wallace with a strike through.  Hmmm.

that game last night was unreal.  i wish detroit would have sucked that bad against the bulls.  seroulsy, how do you not step in front of lebron and make him pass the ball when he has scored the Cavs last 25 points?  no no, instead lets let him lay the ball in to go up 2 with 2 seconds left.

It says it was edited by Tom McManus.  Wasn't me.  I don't have mod powers on this thread.  I don't even follow basketball.

They were tired of getting called for cheesy fouls so instead of allowing 3 point plays they just turned them into 2's. I agree it was pathetic but that's what happens to premier players.

with under 5 seconds to go in a tie game u dont' let the guy go free to the basket.  especially when he has scored his team's last 25 pts.  and speaking of gay 3 pt plays, webber's that put them up 107-104 was as gay as it gets.
