The Bulls were blown out for the second consecutive game in their series against the Pistons, falling 108-87 and going down 2-0 with the series headed to Chicago. Tayshaun Prince scored 25 points for the Pistons, Rip Hamilton had 24, and Chris Webber added 22 on a preposterous 10-of-11 field goals. Chauncey Billups got into the fun with 14 points and 10 dimes.
As for Chicago… oy. Kirk Hinrich led the stink bomb with a whopping 2 points on 0-for-7 shooting, and the Pistons sacrificed Benny the Bull during the halftime show for a wild Auburn Hills crowd. It was terrible — there was blood and plush stuffing everywhere.
On the other side of the country, played much later at night, viewers were treated to a much more exciting game as the Jazz rallied past the Warriors in the final quarter to win 116-112. Deron Williams went for 31 and 8 assists, and Carlos Boozer was an acned monster on the boards, scoring 17 (including the go-ahead bucket) to go with his 20 rebounds. Has anybody else noticed that Boozer is noticeably stronger and quicker than he ever was in Cleveland, and his skin looks like the "Before" part of a ProActiv ad? If anyone wants to cough into their hand while saying "steroids," that's not technically slander. Trust me, I'm an expert at it.

Don’t forget that his head is morphing into a Cro-Magnon like shape and his eyebrows are getting thicker and fuzzier. Pretty soon he’ll start growling and beating his chest and scare the shit out of the white Utah crowd.
BTW, Diego Corrales just died in in a motorcycle accident. He had that epic bout with Jose Luis Castillo in 2005.
I know Ben Wallace’s afro is cool and he’s a bad motherfucker and all, but why doesn’t he take any shit for how much his game has deteriorated in the past three years? Is it because of the model trains?
whowillsexmutombo: I think it really started to slide when he got to Chicago and wasn’t allowed to wear the headband anymore. I mean, that thing held all the power. /sarcasm
So Mr Prince how do you like your Rocky Mountain oysters?
It is amazing how quickly my fellow Chicagoans have gone from “We swept the Heat! This team is unstoppable!” to “How did this team make the playoffs?” in a span of 3 days. I blame the Jordan-era Bulls for making this city about as basketball-dumb as it gets.
To partially quote a certain newspapter editor if we say it out loud it’s slander, in print it’s libel. Also, anyone notice that the Utah Jazz has the whitest/light skined lineup in the NBA? Coincidence?
I’m not Boozer’s dermatologist or anything, so I don’t know what he does or doesn’t or does inject, but: does the juice make you quicker? I figured the NBA was roid-free because the shit didn’t help. Also, nobody disputes that Shaq has bulked up by shooting up mayonnaise and gravy speedballs, which are legal.
