Well, I usually bet friends and co-workers on Bulls/Pistons games, but for some reason I don't want to bet on this one. I know if we win we hand Detroit their 13th loss in a row, but I have a feeling this is the game BG7 goes for 40 and we lose. I think he is due. I hope I am wrong, but this Bulls Team has been so inconsistent. Anybody else have this feeling? Please tell me I'm losing out on easy money..

I think Pistons will snap their losing streak behind a big game from Gordon.

But all five of the Piston's starters are shooting less than 50 TS% on the season, so their starters really suck. So if we can get out on the Pistons early, it might be too big of a hole for Gordon to dig them out of.

I assume Gordon is probably coming off the bench against us still. If the Pistons were smart, they'd start Gordon and try ot have him go out and kill the Bulls early. But then again, smart coaching probably shouldn't be associated with a team who is bringing their best player off the bench is on the verge of losing 13 games in a row. Keuster seems a lot like Vinny last year, where Vinny's team played better when he was forced to play a tight rotation.

You predicted that last time and it came through for us, so I'm glad you've jinxed the Pistons again. :)

I also predict that Ben Gordon does not get traded for Kirk Hinrich after the game.

I think that's stretching your powers too far.

It will be hard for Gordon to score 40, when he will be saddled on the bench w/ foul trouble, after Rose tacks 2 quick fouls on him.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  2. Golden State Warriors
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
I predict any one of the following occuring
1) BG lights us up and the Pistons win.
2) BG lights us up and we win.
3) BG sucks and we win.
4) BG is hobbled by whatever injury he has and has a mediocre shooting game and still scores 20 points...winner in this scenario doesn't matter. :p

In all honesty, I think the Pistons are so hobbled by injuries that it may be easier to beat them. On the other side, if all those players play, they'll be pretty tough. If Stuckey's out and BG starts, it could be a long game...

We better put Hinrich on Gordon whenever Gordon's in the game. Hinrich should be in every minute that Gordon is in, unless Gordon drives him into foul trouble. Ben Gordon just embarassed the crap out of John Salmons when Salmons tried guarding him.

Could this finally be the night of the famed Hinrich vs. Gordon matchup? It better. I'm eager to see what happens. Though I'm willing to bet that if BG has a bad game with Hinrich on him it's going to be null and void due to BG's injury.

Man the Pistons are crap, hard to believe they were on a big roll earlier in the season.

The Pistons are only scoring 88 points a game during their losing streak. Yet they still insist on bringing their two best scorers off the bench. They made some steps in the right direction by starting Jerebko over Prince, and Wilcox over Maxiell, but it really should have been Charlie V. getting the starting nod, and not Wilcox.

Good to see Deng playing well, hopefully this means his finger is getting better and he can keep it up.

Pistons paying Gordon and Villanueva $20 million to play 13 minutes in the first half.

Hopefully they panic and trade Gordon at the trade deadline. He deserves better than what he's getting in Detroit. Things will get better in Detroit, as they will have a high draft pick, and Keuster will be fired at the end of the year, but it'd be nice to get BG out of Pistons land.

Don´t say they are crap till the game is over.

You could have said the Kings are crap when they were down by 35 and you know how this story ended. -.-*

I didn't say the Bulls weren't also capable of being crap. :laugh:

I assume BGs minutes have something to do with his injury.
