Failed to Sweep

The Bulls took the previous 3 games this year, but with last night's loss, failed to complete the season sweep of the Pistons. That was extremely disappointing because the Pistons seemed to be the one team that we could beat this year. The offense was there as 6 players scored in double figures, led by Gordon's 27 (nearly perfect shooting) off the bench. Deng added 21. Rebounds were a bit low and so were assists. Failure to defend Detroit was the cause of the loss though. I felt like they shot 100% in the 4th quarter. It's a shame because Rasheed Wallace was out of the lineup and he was the guy that would consistently do well against us. Hinrich got into foul trouble, so he wasn't on the floor most of the time to defend against Hamilton. And of course there were injuries. Thabo was still out and we all know what a great job he does shutting down Hamilton. I would've played Hinrich some more if I were coaching. The guys on the floor weren't getting it done defensively. I would've played Hinrich until he fouled out. It would've been a closer game that way and maybe even a win. The Bulls were wearing the black pinstripe uniforms, but it failed to bring them luck this time around.
