I would ask you if you even watched the game or just looked at the box score but I know the answer based on your next line. You didn't notice how deadly the Bulls Korver/Rose pick and roll was, the commentators made a comment about it--and the Bulls only did it a few times because the Heat adjusted to it and switched who they were guarding.
Lol, didn't know you were watching the game with me...must've been peaking through the windows. Deng did the most work on LeBron and his length game him some fits. LeBron was off tonight and it had a lot to do with the looks the Bulls were giving him defensively. Wade was decently contained as well. I'm pretty sure that the Bulls will take 33 combined points from LBJ/Wade all series long if they could. Thibodeau has a proven track record for defenses that give Wade and James problems and showed it again tonight. When LeBron and Wade are sitting back chucking jumpers they are playing right into the Bulls' hands. Both Wade and LeBron need to be more aggressive going to the hole but unlike Boston's interior D, Chicago has a knack for altering shots without fouling. When Wade and LeBron are going to the line a combined 8 times, you have just taken out a significant piece of the Heat's offense. The Bulls did a lot of things right tonight but some of which is easily fixable for the Heat...we'll see if they can.
