This series will be competitive in the end. Yesterday, the Bulls shot 48% behind the arc, which isn't likely to happen again. As Deng said after the game, "He (LBJ) missed some shots he doesn't normally miss". On top of that, Oprah is giving the Heat an extra day of rest something D-Wade looked like he really needed.

He may have provided some logic, but he ruined it with the word "cHeat". Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they cheated.

Just because I referred to them as the "cHeat" doesn't mean I literally think they cheated, although it could be speculated that they bent the rules of tampering with other organizations players. It is like referring to Michigan as scUM or tsun. I can't imagine having such a hard on for another man that I get all bent out of shape because people refer to them as the "cHeat". I believe you actually are just a simpleton and have no rebuttals for the questions posed and are taking the easy way out of the discussion.

He is the dope that refuses to have any basketball discussion. He is incapable, so he just finds reasons not to.

Agreed. Thibodeau said the same thing Deng did. Not shocked D-Wade looked tired, chased Ray Allen around for 5 games then took on Rose for a little bit. They'll be fine come Wednesday, but the Bulls will be focused. It's a HUGE game for them, lets be honest, if the Heat win and they go back with momentum and a decent chance to go 3-1 before it comes back to Chicago the whole mood of this series could change. They need to protect their home floor big time in game 2. Hopefully the Heat come out and crash the boards, they can rebound with the Bulls, it's just about effort. They didn't have it in game 1, Bulls did.

Ummmmm....yes because as I said I don't care if anyone is or not--but it's clearly going to happen. Not hurting my feelings, just annoying in a thread where there is actual discussion that is TRYING to take place. I think it would make more sense that I wouldn't have started that thread if I did care...right?

What are the %'s of other cities? I'm sure it's also around 10%. It's not like anyone expected the number to be 0%; it's still a popular sport in this country and will have good ratings regardless of the teams involved.

The Bulls do not have to shoot 48% from 3 to win. They only shot 43% for the entire game, and still won by 21, they can shoot better. Also the Bulls have a lot of young legs and a deep bench something the C's had neither of.

If you didn't care, you wouldn't have started the thread and you would've ignored the posts. Everyone here knows your bullshit when it comes to this topic, and you expect us all to play nice? I'm not sure that is going to work, especially when you joined when the Heat were beating the celtics. It's pretty pathetic if you ask me, you are the biggest attention grabber on this site(which is saying a lot).

As far as last night, Bulls dominated down low and the heat didn't respond. They don't have that big man presence, nor do I see them magically getting a big man presence. I don't want to say a sweep, but at this rate there is no way(based on last night) that the bulls lose this series

Agree with the last part. But I think 43% against Miami's D is a pretty solid number. They'll shoot more like 38% from 3 and still shoot 43% because their 2's should improve just like their 3 % should go down. They win because they get A LOT more possessions because of rebounding, if they don't do that, they won't win. But it is a weakness they can exploit all series if Miami lets them.

Hey, FYI, there is another thread dedicated to comments like this, it's in my signature if you can't find it.

You did good with your 2nd part though! It was actually about basketball!

But I've ignored many of the posts, what you don't seem to understand is that it deters people from posting on this thread because they don't want to sort through that BS to find the real basketball talk. And I would like those people to post, leading to better discussion about the topic.

Don't know, Cleveland was the 3rd highest percentage in the country, behind the two cities directly involved in the series. But no one cares.

Then you might want to try some objectivity instead of the Lebron/Miami "can do no wrong" nuthugging.

you don't talk real basketball, you are just as biased as the "cleveland nutthuggers" for lebron and miami. The fact you think you are discussing unbiased bball just makes you seem like a lunatic

Did I stutter, or did I miss where you actually responded to my questions?
Or are you just going to give me some weak response "you said cHeat, so you don't have a valid opinion" You were probably crying right along with their players in your basement when they lost that devastating regular season game earlier this year.

I am objective, but I'm going to defend my team the same way any of you would. Just because you have a problem with that doesn't mean it has to turn into personal jabs that have nothing to do with the topic. That's where it gets mucked up. Why am I expected to not defend my team or pick them to win? I'd say I was pretty objective in my assessment of the first game, I didn't make excuses for them. They just lost. But that all gets lost in the bullshit and you don't notice it.

If Cleveland fan wants to see Lebron lose then they need to "get over it" or they are "butt hurt". Has anybody else been watching the playoffs?? Bron gets booed everytime he touches the ball, regardless of the city. Some of the people on this site are acting like this is only a Cleveland thing. Gimme a damn break

I'd be willing to bet the average city in America was around 10% last night. Rovell probably used selective statistics to try and prove that people care about Lebron anymore.

Your team? Dont you mean your player?

If Bron left for Dallas you would be a Mavericks fan. I dont think you have a "team", you just have a player.

Doesn't it make sense that I would defend the team that LeBron plays on? Just like I did with the Cavs?
