ugh...way to start off with a bang....not surprised

Bulls are the better team, have been all season.

In the playoffs its all about match ups and the Bulls match up well against the B3 of the Heat.

There arent any games for the next few days. Naturally people are going to digress from actual game discussion. Several people were discussing the topic too. It wasnt one or two guys bickering. But yeah you should go ahead and speak for everybody because you are tired of talking about it

I still like the Heat in 6, but I have to see major improvement in game 2. I don't even need to see a win, but there needs to be a sign of life with the Heat. The Bulls will bring it, no doubt. I'm curious to see what Spo does with the rotation. Dampier was productive for them, but he's been MIA for a long time now. No idea why. UD needs to be in a suit. I love the guy, but he's just not ready. Give that spot to a body that's willing to use it down low. Miami can't make it a close game if they don't make 3's. Bibby and Miller have just been downright sickening. Jones or Chalmers will have to hit a couple. I think the Bulls win it in the 4th, just like they have all year. I won't be surprised by a 13+ point win tho. The vibe around here is that those guys are CONFIDENT but FOCUSED and saying all the correct things. I don't think the Heat can get ready for that in 2 off days.

Dude stfu...nobody wanted to read your guys' retarded bickering...that's an NBA playoffs thread, who cares if there are no games on you were talking about Lebron James with the Cavs which has nothing to do with the NBA playoffs. You wanna argue about whatever the hell it is you were arguing about, start a nice pretty thread in the basement.

The key for the Heat is if they can get all 3 going in one game to beat a complete TEAM in the Bulls.

1 or 2 of the Big Three is not going to get it done against the best defensive team in the NBA.

Game 2 is Huge, obviously, I think that if the Bulls can put another solid defensive effort the Heat will start to get down on themselves as we've seen this year.

I think that if Bron and Wade have HUGE games, they would be able to over come the Bulls D. But only those 2, not Bosh and one of the others.

And I definitely agree with your last sentence.

I can agree with that. DWade and LBJ are top 20 all-time players, so their big games are on another level than the rest of the league. I would say they are going to have to avg 30+ each with 7-8 boards and Bosh about 17-20 pts for them to prevail in the series.

Big Question--Can Dwade guard rose AND put up 30+ in the same game? Thats a tall task, even for him. Thats Jordan-eqsue kind of expectations.

If the Bulls can continue to neutralize and or make Joel Anthony a non factor, the Heat are in trouble.

I'm losing sleep over Magloire, but the Heat fans do chant MVP for Joel....
