PIPPEN: BULLS NEED TO GET MORE PHYSICAL

Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen is talking through experience and he has seen it all. Pippen, who is the number one sidekick of the G.O.A.T. in their six-title haul in the 90’s, wants the current Bulls to play more physical as they go into the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. It can be recalled that Pippen and the Bulls were whipped by the then “Bad Boys” of the Detroit Pistons in three straight playoff series before matching their brute force and finally winning their match-up in 1991 en route to the first championship of the Windy City outfit. Pippen says Derrick Rose and the Bulls must not give easy lay-ups as they have to play physical ball and let the opposition earn their points at the foul-line, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

“You don’t give up layups in the playoffs. You knock a guy down and you make them go to the foul line and earn it. That’s what Derrick’s doing for the Bulls. And to me, it’s an eye for an eye.”
