Detroit lost 8 straight games. I really hope that Bulls can get their 3rd straight win against the Pistons.
This would be a nice end of the year.

It will be a tough game for Bulls, but it is possible to win against Detroit. Bulls playing better since the lineup change.

Go Bulls!

By Mike McGraw (Daily Herald)

Most of the on-court problems the Bulls have faced this season can be traced to the fact that only four players have shown up consistently - Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, Joakim Noah and rookie Taj Gibson.

All four of their performances qualify as great news for the Bulls.

Rose is starting to follow his destiny as an NBA star, averaging 20.3 points and 6.2 assists in December.

Deng recovered from a stress fracture to average 18.1 points, Noah ranks second in the league in rebounds at 12.2 per game, and Gibson has been remarkably steady for a No. 26 draft pick.

The Bulls have been outmanned at times, though, thanks to injuries to Tyrus Thomas, Kirk Hinrich and Jannero Pargo, along with inconsistent play from last year's two additions, John Salmons and Brad Miller. Rookie James Johnson wasn't ready to contribute early in the season.

If the ugly home losses to New Jersey and Sacramento were reversed, the Bulls would be sitting at 14-15 right now and there probably would be few complaints.

Is 12-17 cause for so much anxiety? Definitely not, but check back after the Pistons game.
