Bulls (1-0) @ Celtics (2-0) Game Thread

[houheffna]

Let's not pretend that Salmons is any type of defensive upgrade on Gordon.

The Pistons backcourt has been great in the two games so far. The stats of the opposing guards are:

OJ Mayo: 9 points on 2-12 shooting
Michael Conley: 3 points on 1-4 shooting
Marcus Williams: 4 points on 2-8 shooting

Russell Westbrook: 10 points on 2-11 shooting
Thabo Sefolosha: 8 points on 2-4 shooting
James Harden: 2 points on 1-6 shooting
Kevin Ollie: 2 points on 1-2 shooting

Guards are shooting 23.4% from the field through two games against the Pistons. The Pistons defense is just sick right now.

They're currently sitting as the fourth best defensive team in the league.

The problem with the Bulls defense was never Gordon. It was always the big men (and to the lesser extent, Derrick Rose's pathetic defensive displays).
Please note: Although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

SALMONS IS BETTER DEFENSIVELY THAN GORDON...stop the madness. After 5 years of watching the Bulls sub Gordon out on defensive plays in crunchtime. With the Pistons, there is no one to sub in, The Pistons defense is sick? Then their offense must suck to lose to OKC at home like that...

Dude, that was one year, Gordon was a bad man defender before Rose got here...
