The Detroit Pistons face the Chicago Bulls in the first game of a home-and-home series starting tonight in the Windy City. The only thing I have to say is IT’S A TRAP. The Pistons are playing the best ball of their season and some of the best in the NBA period in the past month. The Bulls are supposedly a laughing stock but ..... I sorta like their starting lineup since the Otto Porter trade. The Bulls have won six of their past nine games and in that span have gone from one of the NBA’s worst offenses to the eighth-best offense. Don’t you dare take them lightly, Detroit.
