If they lose tonight, I don't see them winning game 4.

If the Bulls lose today, its only to build suspense and drive ratings. They know how important they are to the NBA.

                                Bulls need to take 1 in Miami..whether its game 3 or 4, doesn't matter...just can't go down 3-1 or they're toast.

                        Exactly. The series isn't over just because the Bulls lose Game 3.SportsAndLady;776804 wrote:Bulls need to take 1 in Miami..whether its game 3 or 4, doesn't matter...just can't go down 3-1 or they're toast.

                                It's definitely going to be easier for them to steal one tonight than it will be game 4.  If the Heat win tonight they have BIG momentum going into game 4 because they can go up 3-1.  So you have to assume they'll bring their A game if they're up 2-1.  But yeah, the Bulls just need to take one or the other--I think others mean it just needs to be tonight because you would think it'd be easier.

                                They just need out of the two. Look what miami proved by doing just that on  the road. Both teams are able to win on the road, so I'll just take it one game at a time. Looking forward to a good one tonight.

                                The Bulls will win the series in 6.  I expect them to take one of the 2 in Miami.

If you ain't cheatin' you ain't trying. They crash the boards hard, I wish the Heat did it as well as them. They'd dominate any team in the league on the boards if they gave that effort. All they have to do is box out, they've been doing a better job if it since game 1.

I never said I didn't appreciate the effort, just calling what I see, they go over the back all the time, rarely called.

                                The Heat have looked pretty comfortable since game 1, that's a good sign.

                                Boozer has turned into a waste of space. If you cant score on Joel Anthony you got some problems

He's a good player still, doesn't get many touches because he plays with a gun of a PG in Rose, no longer playing with DWill who made him better.

The guy is averaging 11 and 9 this postseason. He's losing minutes to Taj Gibson. I guess I'd expect more out of a guy that just signed a 75 mil contract

Yeah, you'd like to think that. But he's had good moments with inconsistent opportunities. Playing pretty well as you type. I don't think you're giving enough credit to Anthony OR Taj Gibson.

                                Bosh has had some ugly playoff moments too, but he's looking good tonight.  It's the playoffs man, don't come easy.

I like Gibson, but Boozer shouldnt be losing minutes to the guy. Boozer was brought in to be Rose "robin" he's supposed to be next in line to carry the team behind Rose. He hasnt dont that at all this postseason.
I dont think Anthony deserves alot of credit. The guy is an average at best defender, he brings nothing to the table at the offensive end and he doesnt hit the glass

                                I'm pretty sure we aren't watching the same game.
