Chicago v Detroit (Pistons up 3-2) – It’s suddenly “uh-oh” time in Motown again as the unpredictable nature of this post season continues. The difference this time around from Game 4 is that the Bulls straight up took it to Detroit. Chicago shot an unreal 72.2% as a team in the first half. Then, instead of cooling off like they were supposed to, the Bulls blew the Pistons out of the water with a 33 to 20 3rd quarter. The better news for Chicago is that Ben Gordon finally got off the schnide with his best game of the series (28 points on 10-16 shooting & 5-6 on threes). With Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng both playing well again the Bulls now have all their top guns firing. Chicago coach Scott Skiles also deserves credit for giving the ineffective Andres Nocioni’s minutes to rookie Tyrus Thomas. Ty T’s energy and athleticism are definitely proving to be x-factors as this series progresses.

Detroit is singing the same old song, just listen to Mr. Big Shot Chauncey Billups. “I can't say we did that [relax] intentionally, but it's human nature when you get that kind of a cushion to let up a little bit. Our team, as you know, is not that good with cushions. Unfortunately, we've done that time and time again and have had to go on the road to win.” Uh-huh…sound familiar? It reminds me of Miami and their “we’ll be fine” mantra. The Pistons have to be careful here because the Bulls are suddenly making them look very old and slow. I’m done predicting what's next in this series, but what I am sure of is that the United Center crowd is going to be off the charts fired up for Thursday’s Game 6.

What sports have in common isn that you have to move your body around a lot-- that the distinguishing feature of dance, or exercise.
