Have to have a better effort there--and I saw at least 10 times when the ball came down and it was just about someone grabbing it and no one did, they were in position...head scratcher there. And 9 times out of 10 down the floor when LeBron controlled the ball it wasn't Deng, someone had switched off, one of the bigs or something. He just didn't have a good game and the Bulls did a great job of clogging the lane and double teaming--no surprise, but it helps LeBron's case when someone on the bench makes some shots. Loosens up the D. That didn't happen tonight. Not saying Deng played poorly either, he didn't, but pay attention to what's actually happening in the game before you want to talk about how well so and so played.
Longest excuse I have ever read. Well I am lying I didn't actually read it but I have confidence in you.

Help's his cause when DWade gets going too and he didn't either--goes both ways too. Just a perfect storm from the Bulls tonight--but it's hard to pull that off every night, which is why I'm not worried yet. The Heat need to rebound better, that's it. They shot a fairly good percentage, they just had about 15 fewer shots than the Bulls AND no one hit the 3. The Bulls were money from 3, a lot of them wide open due to rebounding. It's just about effort, if they box out they'll be fine. Ball bounced the way of the Bulls a bunch tonight too, shit happens,.

Rondo wasn't playing with 1 arm and Perkins was playing for Boston in the 3 regular season wins.jordo212000;769291 wrote:Ok? How many of those 4 games count in this series?

When lebron ended up with boozer on him numerous plays in a row (bc of the switch on the pick from Anthony) he can take anyone in the league tot he rim regardless of ur team defense (maybe he wont finish it bc of the collapsing, but shit he'll draw a foul more times than not). He just didnt even attempt it tonight, which makes no sense. He likes to pick and choose when to turn it on...its the playoffs u better have it turned on every single game

The heat struggled against the Celtics before the trade. Im not saying the Heat dont have a chance to win the series or something. I just think its funny how the media wanted to crown them champions after knocking off the celtics, and the players seemed to think the same thing.

Then shouldnt we factor in the fact that the Heat were still getting acclimated and figuring out their rotations?

Maybe you should have read it, jackass.
For everyone who calls me a "LeBron nuthugger", I can't believe you haven't said something similar about skyhook. His dick gets hard as soon as I post, I think he searches my posts and clicks refresh every 2 seconds. I bet he was so upset when I wasn't around.

2nd chance points were 36-8 the Bulls. Are you saying Miami didnt play soft tonight? Chris Bosh has always got points and rebounds from a transition game. The playoffs slow down and become defensive battles. Chris Bosh will be a NON factor.

Was just about to point that out. It's only one game and the Bulls did what they should have done, won at home. It certainly looks like the Heat will have a really tough time beating the Bulls, but when you have 2 of the top 5 players in the NBA it's possible. It could be a 4 game sweep and I wouldn't be shocked, but the Bulls still have to win 3 more times. The second half though the Bulls just stuck it to them and showed their grit. If Miami doesn't show any more effort than they did the second half they don't stand a chance.

What? He had 30 and 9 in a "slow down defensive" playoff game. I don't think he had one basket in transition.

LeBron didn't play in one close loss to the Bulls this season. Bosh played the worst game of his career in another game. But those don't count, right? And remember how often you used to say the regular season didn't matter in the playoffs?
Bottom line is, the Bulls played great. They played a near perfect game--I guarantee their coach wouldn't have imagined the game went that well for them when he was game planning. And the Heat played like shit all around. If you think that is going to happen the whole series then just keep watching I guess. Not saying the Bulls won't win it, but I doubt you see them play that flawlessly again.

To be fair, the Bulls shot 43.7%. I'd imagine they will shoot better than that in other games, though the 10/21 they most likely will not replicate.

I agree, wasn't aggressive enough tonight, but the Bulls team defense did a great job of corralling him into the spots they wanted him to be, and he missed those shots.
