This is Tyler Hall writing on Dave Just’s Login:

The Bulls started off the playoffs very strongly. They managed to defeat the defending NBA Champions in only four games. They did everything well that a great basketball team does.

Some may have thought that the Bulls had returned to glory. Unfortunately, the Detroit Pistons thought otherwise. The Pistons completely dismantled the Bulls in game one of the seven game series. The Bulls’ Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordon combined for a mere 22 points. Gordon was two-for-nine in his twenty-seven minutes of play. The Bulls were beaten in every aspect of the game. The only bright spot for the Bulls was Luol Deng. He managed to score eighteen points and was one of two Bulls in double figures. Hopefully the Bulls can pull themselves together for another series win. The 69 points they managed to score will not be enough to win though.
