Bulls vs. Pistons Game 2 Recap


What now? For the first time this playoff run I actually had to avert my eyes for part of the game last night. Just plain painful to watch. Perhaps what is most frustrating is that the Bulls went to the free throw line more often, shot better at the line (although missed 15), and won the turnover battle. Why did they lose? They were out-rebounded 15 billion to absolute zero. Also, Detroit has not shown any signs of developing a cold streak in their shooting. Supposedly one of the best defensive teams in the league, Chicago looks like they couldn't stop a high school freshman squad.
Now the series comes back home where the Bulls need to even the series to have a chance (which no one believes they have anymore). They need to win at least one to come away from this series with an ounce of pride. There's already talk on the eBays of how much the team needs to be revamped if a sweep occurs. Just to think that last week we were all so high on our Bulls' chances, proudly stating that they had arrived. Ugh.
