2028-2029 SEASON - PLAYOFFS - SECOND ROUND (PREVIEW)

The Detroit Pistons are a well coached, hard working, no nonsense, blue collar type of a team. They have a solid starting five and play solid team basketball, with a tough nosed defense that is reminiscent of the former "Bad Boys". Power forward Shyrone Rivers is the leader of this team and although he can be a streaky shooting, when he gets hot he can be deadly. Former Chicago Bulls point guard, Coby White, is the teams floor general and he excels in just about every aspect of the game. Averaging 21.6 ppg, White is capable of lighting up the scoreboard. However, the primary offensive threat on this team is PF Jaxson Hayes, who averages 23.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Their biggest Achilles heel is there poor three-point shooting. They have an excellent defense, that generally keeps them in virtually every game they play, but if their shooting touch goes cold, their lack of a real outside threat can hinder their ability to shoot their way out of a deficit. Also, the Pistons have had difficulty containing Bulls shooting guard Devin Booker and center Justin McCuthison. I don't see that trend changing anytime soon and the Bulls are the clear favorites in this series.

PREDICTION: Bulls in five.

Jefferson, the games leading scorer, was named the Player of the Game. Also, Bulls shooting guard Markelle Fultz left the game after five minutes of play, complaining of back spasms. Fultz's injury may be worse than originally expected and a spokesman for the Bulls medical staff stated that he could miss up to two weeks.

2028-2029 SEASON - PLAYOFFS - SECOND ROUND (GAME 6)

Crazy developments in the other series. First, in the Eastern Conference, the New York Knicks upset the Atlanta Hawks and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals after winning a 142-135 overtime thriller. In the Western Conference, the Phoenix Suns advance to the Western Conference Finals on the efforts of Suns forward Bernard Person who scored 65 points against the Grizzlies. However, Person left the game with an abdominal strain and could miss the first four games of the Western Conference Finals.

2028-2029 SEASON - PLAYOFFS - EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS (PREVIEW)

This is not the team that Bulls fans were expecting to meet in the Conference Finals, but anyone who has been following the NBA this season knows that the Knicks are no fluke. They arguably have the stingiest defense in the league. Mitchell Robinson is without a doubt the best defensive center in the league and he has been for years. R.J. Barrett and Michael Porter are also two of the best defenders at their respective positions. Scoring against this Knicks defense will not be easy, as the Atlanta Hawks so recently found out. Where the Knicks struggle is offensively. They are a very poor three-point and free throw shooting team and their field goal percentage is just above average. Then again, the Knicks don't need to score a lot of points if they are playing good defense. This series will be intriguing, as you have the high octane Bulls offense versus the smothering Knicks defense. I have the Bulls winning the series in six games, but this is one of those series that could go either way. One thing is for certain, Spike Lee is going to be monumentally annoying.

PREDICTION: Bulls in six.

2028-2029 SEASON - PLAYOFFS - CONFERENCE FINALS (GAME 1)

Bulls shooting guard Devin Booker led all scorers with 28 points in the Bulls 116-97 win over the New York Knicks and was named Player of the Game. The nineteen point victory was certainly impressive, but the Knicks were down by as many as thirty points in the third quarter. Truthfully, the Knicks were never a threat after the first quarter and the Bulls cruised to an easy game one victory. Bulls point guard D'Angelo Russell scored 26 points and shooting guard Jayson Tatum recorded a double-double, with 18 points and 10 rebounds. In the Western Conference, the absence of Bernard Person from the Suns lineup can't be overstated. Phoenix desperately could have used his 34.4 ppg, but it looks like Person will be out at least another week. If Phoenix can somehow hang on until he returns to the lineup they'll have a chance, but without him the Kings have a decided advantage.
