I expect the Bulls to win at least 1 of their home games. They're a much better team @ home this year.
Seriously, Detroit is destroying the Bulls, who swept Miami, and those are probably the best three teams in the East.
Unless Chicago comes up big at home, Detroit may not break a sweat until game one of the Finals.

The question you need to ask is, has Detroit ever been better?
They'll definitely be sweating when the Suns make them run
The East is just taking it easy after MJ's departure

The Pistons basically blew out Cleveland in the first two games last year in the second round. That went 7 games. In 2004, they blew out the Nets in the second round. That series went 7 games. I'm going to wait to see how game 3 turns out before assessing this series. Right now, the Bulls look very young and inexperienced and a little over their heads. That can change quickly when they're in front of their home crowd.
Yup, Detroit is the best team out there in the east. The rest are just audience.
Damn, the East sucks badly!
the problem is scot skiles has went public and said pistons are a bad matchup for us
IDIOT
Pistons/Suns would be a decent finals. I'd enjoy that contrast in styles.
If and I say If we come out of the Least I want the Spurs.
What's microwave up to these days? Does he live in Detroit?
'05 finals, games 1-4.
when's the last time a team swept their way all the way to the finals? i could possibly see this happening with the pistons (TO the finals, not IN the finals) but i think the bulls may take one....maybe, they look like ca-ca right now...the pistons could be one very fresh team come finals time
I agree. The road games for the Pistons in this series will be telling.
In the area, yes.
I seriously thought they were getting more compe ive ...
It's just sad how much parity there is between conferences.
So did I. Earlier in the season I thought the Bulls had a legit chance at making to the Finals. But with the Pistons beasting the way they are now, I don't think any team over than touch 'em.
The series is by no means over, but DAYUM! They opened up a can of whoopazz...
Funny thing is, now that the Pistons don't have to play Shaq in the playoffs without Ben, the door to the finals seems as wide open as can be for them. The Pistons are one of only a few teams in the East that play a balance of western and eastern conference styles.
Bulls are in trouble when Ben Wallace either equals or outscores Ben Gordon, ever...
How much are the Bulls mulling over that Pau Gasol non trade right now? It is kind of exactly what they need. I agree that giving up Deng or Kirk might have been a little excessive, but I think they could have found a way to get it done...
I've got the Pistons destroying either Cleveland. For some reason I think they may have a little more trouble with NJ due to the fact that Kidd is big enough to at least stay with Billups. I still think they make it out of the east fairly easily. They seem to be clicking on all cylinders now. Won't be an easy out for any west team.
The question is:
Is Detroit that good?
Or,
Was Miami that bad?
You mean, how little parity there is between conferences.
Sorry, my bad.
That's an insult to the Western Conference.
(Thanks, I probably was intending to use disparity at the time but stopped myself mid-sentence using the positive sense of the word)
But yeah, I think the Heat had one great immediate Contender/Championship team, with veterans, wade, and shaq, etc. last year.
And then, there were the Pistons who peaked too soon. Obviously Pistons are still a complete team.
But NJ sucks. Lebron's team sucks. Arenas' team sucks. And the Bulls blew the opportunity to fill their hole at the 4 spot.
Sure there are a lot more stars in the East, but beyond that, it's more of a management thing in the East. Only Dumars has gotten it right.
And I guess Pat Riley got some results by getting the fat man. But other than that, the East still hasn't gotten out of its funk since Jordan left it.

It almost seems unfair. Detroit is coasting in the East and all the teams in the West are having major battles (well, all teams except Golden State and Phoenix in their 1st rounds).
