Bulls vs. Pistons Game 4 Recap


In case you didn't know, teams down 0-3 in the NBA playoffs are 0-81 to win the series. If you didn't know that, then that means you didn't watch any of Game 4 because I think they flashed that stat 81 times during the game.


So the Bulls pulled out a win which apparently is only prolonging the inevitable based on the stats. I don't remember seeing Thabo in at all. When Tyrus was in he made mistakes but was good overall. This all begs the question of what sort of strategy Skiles is planning for Game 5. Unfortunately I have a business dinner to attend so I may not be watching. Maybe one of you can tell me how many teams down 1-3 have won the series after that game. I'm sure TNT will proudly pound the stat in your head.

Thabo was a DNP (coaches decision). Many experts said the Bulls bench was better and deeper than the Pistons, then why did starters play all but 40 minutes and only Noc, Thomas and Duhon get minutes. Most of those minutes were taken from PJ Brown who only played 26 minutes of uninspiring ball.
This follows up 29 minutes off the bench in game 3 (explains alot about play and results). 91 worthless minutes in Game 2 (blowout minutes) And 93 garbage minutes in Game 1.
