Bulls score season-high 120, Detroit ponders move to NBDL

12 January 2010 2 Comments

While I was impressed (yet somewhat terrified) by Rodney Stuckey’s fledgling no-holds-barred state of mind, the result was far from groundbreaking. Stuckey ended up with seven points below his average as the Bulls sailed to their easiest win of the season, 120-87. Our precious Pistons have passed from the realm of terrible to borderline obnoxious.

So what happens now? Detroit has officially matched the infamous season-ending losing streak of ‘94, and is doubtfully looking to surpass it. The good news – they have to lose to the Wizards to get there. That’s right, the firearm-brandishing jesters that have plagued sports headlines for the past two weeks. If the Pistons can catch the Wiz offguard somewhere between lawyer meetings and talking with the popo, they might just be able to bury this filthy streak once and for all.

Also, the Wizards are down to eight players as of Monday’s shootaround.

Back to last night’s spank job*. Jerebko was good, Rip and Wilcox okay, everyone else was just about terrible as usual. Daye had a decent stat line, but they were garbage minutes so don’t dwell on the numbers too much.

Villanueva went 1-for-10 on the night, continuing his own personal streak of holding on to the ball for the same amount of time had it been on fire. I think I might dub him Charlie “Park Ball” Villanueva.

Also, has this team ever heard of perimeter defense? I think John Salmons made all of his four three-pointers with the nearest Piston lounging at least 15 feet away from him. They had the same problem in Dallas, except that game was actually winnable. This was, in my mind, the only way the sub-.500 Bulls won by such a ridiculous amount of points.

Not much else to say, I guess. The Pistons are indeed bad, but the odds might just be in their favor in Washington. But I’m sure they’ll find a way to lose by 30.

*The term “spank job” is likely the sole property of Fred McLeod, ex-Pistons announcer galore. No infringement intended.

    Since you haven’t posted about the win against the Bullets, I’ll post here.
    I’m quite glad the Pistons won against the Bullets for the sole fact that I can go one day w/o thinking about this team if we got John Wall, I must say, it’s gotten to an unhealthy level how much i think about what we could do and how this team would be with him… Trade RIP & Tay.
    Wall/Bynum
    Stuckey/ Gordon
    JJ/Daye
    C.V./ Summers/ Maxiell
    Who ever we trade RIP for/ Brown?
    Yea this has become really unhealthy
    /Raises glass/ Here’s to tanking
