The Chicago Bulls was simply troubled to matching up with Detroit Pistons.
The bulls are having hardship with frontcourt of Detroit, because Rasheed Wallace, Chris Webber and the reserve Antonio McDyess can all the account of the perimeter.
When Skiles replaces Ben Wallace or P.J Brown with the rookie Tyrus Thomas, the problems are made up of Tyrus Thomas inexperience.
Ben Gordon cannot guard Chauncey Billups or Richard Hamilton, said Skiles, and inexperienced Tyrus Thomas is fighting mentally to take hold defensive concepts.
The Pistons were a step a Saturday more fast and more aggressive in the defense, limiting Chicago less than 33 percents than they shots and that they forced to 22 turnovers.
At the other end of the court, Detroit had five double-digit scorers that were effective inside and out, and in fast break and half-court situations.
Billups had its early way with Gordon, who also looks like to be a defensive responsibility against Hamilton.
Detroit's All-Star guards each collected 20 points, while Gordon had just seven points in part because he was called for two fouls in the first 2 1/2 minutes of the series.
Detroit is determined to match the Bulls' intensity in Game 2, when its dominant performance in the series opener becomes irrelevant.
Game 2 will play in Detroit on Monday night.
