ECF Game 1: Bulls vs. Heat

[Venti Quattro]

Bulls will probably win this game tonight.

[lefty]

Looking forward to the series


And it's a good thing TNT has the ECF this year

[NewcastleKEG]

Whoever wins Game 1 probably wins the series. Neither team is that much better than the other to win 4 outta 6

[Venti Quattro]

Here's to hoping that the sniper in the United Center be caught for Chris Bosh's safety.

[Ace]

Heat lose this one, win the series 4-1...

[Nick Manning]

Heat will smash.

[Giuseppe]

Me & you, Ace!

[The Batman]

Heat will smash.

Not tonight. Rose will get more free throws than Bosh, Wade, and LeBron combined

[4>0rings]

The Heat will saughter the Bulls, no pun intended.

[Nick Manning]

Not tonight. Rose will get more free throws than Bosh, Wade, and LeBron combined

No.

[NewJerSpur]

Here's to hoping that the sniper in the United Center be caught for Chris Bosh's safety.

:lol

Who consistently makes an open jumper first:

Kyle Korver or Mike Miller?

That's what I'm wondering.

[davethedope]

Korver, no doubt. Miller has been quite underwhelming from what I've seen.

[davethedope]

The real question is if anyone on Miami is going to crash the back boards and get
some O boards. That's going to be the difference.

[Ace]

:lol

Who consistently makes an open jumper first:

Kyle Korver or Mike Miller?

That's what I'm wondering.

James Jones

[NewJerSpur]

James Jones

That kid scares me......tbh honest. He's been money from the corners. Go to work KB!!

[NewcastleKEG]

My prediction: Bulls take the series but Heat take Game 1

[Red Hawk #21]

I'm so hyped up for this game...

[NewJerSpur]

Almost time.

[davethedope]

Noah = Varejao

[NewcastleKEG]

Fck James Brown and his soul

[NewJerSpur]

It's time.

[NewcastleKEG]

LOL @ starting Bibby. Rose is gonna get going

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer screaming grab it to Deng rather than going for the rebound.

[NewJerSpur]

Haven't seen the Heat run much PnR with Bosh in the playoffs.....smart move to get him easy offense early.

[Red Hawk #21]

Rose needs to attack Bibby.

[NewcastleKEG]

Bulls getting tips in every offensive rebound. This will be huge

[lefty]

CROFL Rose

[NewJerSpur]

Bad outlet by Bosh, good transition defense by the Heat to start.

[Red Hawk #21]

smh at that continuation.

[Budkin]

Bullshit two shots... ridiculous.

[Cry Havoc]

I've seen worse continuations.

[Red Hawk #21]

Vintage D-Whistle.

[Cry Havoc]

Vintage D-Whistle.

That foul is called for every guard in the league.

[NewcastleKEG]

Gotta sit Bogans now

[NewJerSpur]

Right now the Heat halfcourt defense looks better than Chicago's halfcourt offense. They're rotating well off of the Rose doubles and forcing the Bulls to make the extra pass in traffic. Pick-n-Pop with Boozer might help to loosen things up.

[Warlord23]

lol Bogans gonna get facefucked every game of this series

[Red Hawk #21]

lol at talking to a ball

[Red Hawk #21]

That foul is called for every guard in the league.

Not EVERY guard.

[Cry Havoc]

If Bosh hits that shot Chicago is in trouble.

[NewJerSpur]

Noah's got to get that tip, great hustle.

[Cry Havoc]

Not EVERY guard.

Most. It's not unique to DWade by any means.

[Cry Havoc]

Rose needs to cool it with the ridiculous shots. He's hurting his team. Miami is not Atlanta. They can play D.

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer running a break=loss

[lefty]

lol bulls

[lefty]

Dang !

[NewJerSpur]

Luol BANG

[DPG21920]

MIA's defense is sick.

[Red Hawk #21]

Much needed 3 by Deng.

[LakerHater]

Awesome game so far!!

[lefty]

MIA's defense is sick.
I thnk it has more to do with Chicago's offense sucking

[NewJerSpur]

MUCH better ball movement working from the FT line.

[Red Hawk #21]

Most. It's not unique to DWade by any means.

Fair point.

[lefty]

Bulls have to keep running pick and rolls and back screens

[NewJerSpur]

Heat going small, see if there's any effect on the boards.

[Cry Havoc]

The Bulls are pretty underrated as far as speed goes. There are some friggin' athletes in this ECF. Unreal.

[Cry Havoc]

Tough riser by Bibby. That is a really difficult shot.

[NewJerSpur]

Rose going D-Wade splitting the double.....me likey.

[Red Hawk #21]

Nice move by the MVP.

[DPG21920]

Ronnie Brewer hitting shots, lol

[NewJerSpur]

Great defense on Deng by Anthony.

[lefty]

its all hussle

[Red Hawk #21]

Great hustle!

[Budkin]

The Bulls offense just sucks right now.

[NewJerSpur]

2nd missed layup by Wade.

[DPG21920]

Wade missing a few shots he normally makes, but they are all at the rim. If that keeps up, CHI is in trouble.

[Capt Bringdown]

The Bulls are pretty underrated as far as speed goes. There are some friggin' athletes in this ECF. Unreal.

Still the most boring team in the playoffs.

[lefty]

The Bulls offense just sucks right now.
yep

[Red Hawk #21]

Rose still got to the rim even though he was doubled...

[Spurs da champs]

They bulls get bailed out so much.

[4>0rings]

Still the most boring team in the playoffs.
Cause it's a damn whistle everytime Rose touches the ball.

[InRareForm]

great game

[Cry Havoc]

Still the most boring team in the playoffs.

Atlanta, Indiana, and Philadelphia would like a word with you.

[NewJerSpur]

Noah's got to get that rebound, IT'S MIKE MILLER!!

[NewJerSpur]

They bulls get bailed out so much.

Bosh hooked him going to the basket.

[NewcastleKEG]

They bulls get bailed out so much.
Watching your team play finesse ball the past few years has turned you guys soft

[NewJerSpur]

Bosh's jumper came to play.

[lefty]

Woooooooooooooooooow

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, lol.

[Budkin]

Oooh DWade got shit on!!!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

O_O

Damn, Gibson.

[LakerHater]

OH SHIT!!!

On WADE!!

[NewJerSpur]

Posterized.

[InRareForm]

LOL wade

[024]

chalmers is so bad..

[Chachachango]

daaaaaaaaayum.

Shut the fuk up reggie.

[Red Hawk #21]

Gibson served up a facial on Wade!

[NewcastleKEG]

Taj

fkn

gibson

[DPG21920]

Wade will get him back.

[ernest787]

yikes.

[DPG21920]

Wade just served up a pump fake draw the foul on Taj!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Wade will get him back.

I can see it.

[Red Hawk #21]

Wade just served up a pump fake draw the foul on Taj!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lolwut

[NewJerSpur]

Bibby outplaying Chalmers to start.

[Capt Bringdown]

Atlanta, Indiana, and Philadelphia would like a word with you.

Most boring team left in the PO. But seriously, why is east coast ball so dreadful?

Also, I've never seen a LeBron team that was worth watching.

[LakerHater]

Is Bosh on Gibson!??

[Mav-elous Man]

Gibson told Wade, "Get in my poster!!!"

[NewJerSpur]

And-1 son.

[NewcastleKEG]

Wade just served up a pump fake draw the foul on Taj!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someones butthurt

[davethedope]

bad call

[Red Hawk #21]

I'm waiting for Wade to try and get Gibson back with a poster of his own...

[Capt Bringdown]

Bulls 8 for 23, Heat 9 for 20 in the first. yawn

[ogait]

Asik and Gibson doing work just like they did on the Atlanta series. That's definitely advantage the Bulls have over the Heat.
Why the hell are the Heat playing Magloire

[NewcastleKEG]

LOL @ Magloire and whatever other stiffs Miami tries to march out there

[Spurs da champs]

Watching your team play finesse ball the past few years has turned you guys soft
Please you can't even Breathe on Rose, 50 freethrows in 1st 3 games. lmao what a cheat.

[NewJerSpur]

Is Bosh on Gibson!??

Taj on Bosh....rhymes better. :hat

[Cry Havoc]

Lol Thibs. Someone get that bitch a lozenge!

[4>0rings]

Tom's tuberculosis voice would get old real fast if I had to hear that screaming/hacking in my ear 24/7.

[redzero]

Magloire just robbed LeBron of an assist. Piece of shit.

[NewJerSpur]

Kyle Korver still struggling since the 1st round.

[Red Hawk #21]

Hey, isn't that a technical??!

[djohn2oo8]

Ekg_vx0hmvk

[NewJerSpur]

Wow, no tech?

[4>0rings]

Kerr and company hammering the refs this game :lol

[Spurs da champs]

Good shit Bosh.

[4>0rings]

Ekg_vx0hmvk
Yowza! :wow

Now that's a poster, Wade went for the block. None of this taking a charge shit posterization BS.

[NewcastleKEG]

Wow, no tech?
That's 2 ''Refs giving Miami a break"

[Spurs da champs]

That's 2 ''Refs giving Miami a break"
Just like 3 refs giving Rose a break?

[Cry Havoc]

Dunno how the refs can just abandon the rules like thHAHAHAHAHAHA man I couldn't say that with a straight face.

[NewcastleKEG]

Please you can't even Breathe on Rose, 50 freethrows in 1st 3 games. lmao what a cheat.
Is there a player in the NBA that takes more punishment than Rose?

[lefty]

lol Rose

[NewJerSpur]

What kind of inbounds?

[Spurs da champs]

Is there a player in the NBA that takes more punishment than Rose?


Howard?
Wade?
James?

[lefty]

What kind of inbounds?
Hot potato :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer is good rebounder.....from the weakside when no one is around to breathe on him.

[Cry Havoc]

Is there a player in the NBA that takes more punishment than Rose?

Parker has for years.

[NewJerSpur]

Hot potato :lol

:lol

[Red Hawk #21]

Ekg_vx0hmvk

lol how the fuck is this on youtube already? :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Good call, and good job of Miami picking on Korver.

[NewcastleKEG]

Just like 3 refs giving Rose a break?
Has Kerr said the refs gave Rose a benefit? He's stated it twice for Miami already

[Spurs da champs]

Has Kerr said the refs gave Rose a benefit? He's stated it twice for Miami already

Well he was a bull.

[NewJerSpur]

Noah baby.

[blkroadrunners]

Korver can't hit shit

[lefty]

Nice camera angle

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, Boozer with the most obvious push-off ever not called.

[timtonymanu]

I'm pretty sure Pop will try to get Korver in the offseason. He loves signing guys who miss open 3's.

[Red Hawk #21]

Exciting game so far!

[NewJerSpur]

Wow, Boozer with the most obvious push-off ever not called.

That's his move.

[NewJerSpur]

Noah lucky he didn't get called for a foul on that Bosh fake.

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer is good rebounder.....from the weakside when no one is around to breathe on him.

[blkroadrunners]

Heads up play by Wade

[NewcastleKEG]

Bad decision going with a small lineup and making the Bulls advantage even larger

[NewJerSpur]

Dumb foul, Bulls had nowhere to go with a halfcourt violation looming.

[Spurs da champs]

Terrible calls.

[redzero]

What a gay commercial.

[Capt Bringdown]

Fumble-Stumble basketball + a lot of whistles

[Giuseppe]

Fumble-Stumble basketball + a lot of whistles

El Capitan, bringin' down the goods.

[NewcastleKEG]

Going into the 2nd Half. Wade/Bron have to up their production or else Heat are done. Bulls can keep playing like this to win

[blkroadrunners]

:lol Can't believe Charles Barkley is wearing a tie

[NewJerSpur]

This game is going into triple OT. :lol

:corn:

[Capt Bringdown]

Neither of these turd-tastic teams deserve a ring...BORING.

[ogait]

Neither of these turd-tastic teams deserve a ring...BORING.

:lol Calling a game like this boring, this has the potential to be the best series in the entire playoff

[NewcastleKEG]

Neither of these turd-tastic teams deserve a ring...BORING.
Oh the irony this coming from what the media proclaimed a ''Boring Champion''

[InRareForm]

How is this game boring? You just hating to hate.

[NewJerSpur]

Game on.

[NewJerSpur]

If Rose starts hitting that.....

[timtonymanu]

Neither of these turd-tastic teams deserve a ring...BORING.

Both teams are showing more heart today than the Spurs did all series.

[NewJerSpur]

Did Boozer really get that off though?

[resistanze]

:lol Bosh been waiting a while for that payback.

[Spurs da champs]

Get dunked on Boozer!

[NewJerSpur]

:lol Bosh been waiting a while for that payback.

:lol

Cue the "elbow" gif.

[LakerHater]

missed it, what happend!

[Capt Bringdown]

Both teams are showing more heart today than the Spurs did all series.

Agreed, but that ain't sayin' much. The Heat at least the potential to be entertaining, but watching Carlos Boozer & Noah in the post season is painful IMO. Please Heat, kill these awful Bulls.

[NewJerSpur]

missed it, what happend!

Boozer got dunked on by Bosh.....revenge.

[NewJerSpur]

Rose baby.

[NewJerSpur]

Bogaaaaaaaaaaans!!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Centerpiece!

[Brazil]

Noah with a great game

[timtonymanu]

Would Spurs fans rather have Bogans than RJ?

[NewcastleKEG]

Agreed, but that ain't sayin' much. The Heat at least the potential to be entertaining, but watching Carlos Boozer & Noah in the post season is painful IMO. Please Heat, kill these awful Bulls.
You don't like defense, rebounding & team unity?

Go watch the WNBA

[Spurs da champs]

Damn Kerr and Miller are the worst commentators, too bad Collins is a coach again.

[Mav-elous Man]

With the way this game is going, the 4th qtr should be tense and entertaining.

[NewJerSpur]

Would Spurs fans rather have Bogans than RJ?

Most PROBABLY wouldn't, but I would.

[Red Hawk #21]

This game is entertaining :hat

[Brazil]

Noah !!!

[NewJerSpur]

Go get'em Noah.

[davethedope]

Damn Kerr and Miller are the worst commentators, too bad Collins is a coach again.

aw, fuck collins.

[NewJerSpur]

Terrible shot by Rose.

[LakerHater]

Rose witha move then denied!!

[Spurs da champs]

James Jones!

[NewJerSpur]

That Jones kid scares me.

[Spurs da champs]

lol Bogans.

[Spurs da champs]

Damn Anthony hustles.

[ogait]

Deng playing great defense as usual.

[NewJerSpur]

LeBron with the armbar no call.

[4>0rings]

Taj "Get the fuck outta here"

:lmao :lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Luol bang!!!

[Brazil]

that was a great rebound

[IronMexican]

Damn Kerr and Miller are the worst commentators, too bad Collins is a coach again.

This forum didn't like him. I always thought Collins was solid.

[NewJerSpur]

Heat getting away from the PnR opting to go iso.

[lefty]

Blue collars shitting on the superfriends

[Brazil]

Miami needs to open the game with some 3s

[picc84]

Collins overanalyzes and never shuts the fuck up, and I mean never. Kerr/Miller/Marv over him every time.

[NewcastleKEG]

Miami needs to open the game with some 3s
I don't think it's Panic time just yet for Miami down 9

If they buckle down on defense the Bulls will hit a scoring funk. But it's gonna be tough making up 9 points on this Bulls defense.

[Spurs da champs]

This forum didn't like him. I always thought Collins was solid.

I thought he was the best on TNT.

[NewJerSpur]

Game on, for all the marbles.......in Game 1.

[Spurs da champs]

Rose is a fuckin Chucker!

[lefty]

Collins overanalyzes and never shuts the fuck up, and I mean never. Kerr/Miller/Marv over him every time.
Yeah but Kerr and Miller "joke" too much during plays

They are taking the intensity out of a much anticipated series

At least Collins makes you feel it's a big series

[NewJerSpur]

And-1 sons. Heat might have to think again about going small moving forward.

[LakerHater]

Damn!

[NewJerSpur]

Bosh not boxing out.

[Chachachango]

Bonner for Asik.

[davethedope]

Heat is playing like the Spurs, one step behind,

[daslicer]

Miami is playing '06 spurs small ball. I don't see them winning this series if they continue to go to this style.

[NewJerSpur]

Heat is playing like the Spurs, one step behind,

Knicks got swept though. :p:

[lefty]

didnt look like a clear path foul

[lefty]

Brewer shtting on Miami

[picc84]

Chicago looking pretty damn good.

[NewJerSpur]

didnt look like a clear path foul

Nope.

[timtonymanu]

So why again were Z and Damp benched in favor of Magloire?

[Capt Bringdown]

LOL Miami getting beat by talentless scrubs

[benefactor]

lol everyone drinking the Heat koolaid. They will get rolled 2004 Pistons-style.

[Giuseppe]

lol everyone drinking the Heat koolaid. They will get rolled 8 style.

tee, hee.

[davethedope]

Supporting cast for wade, bosh, and james are also talentless scrubs, who
are just looking dumb out there. And to think they're getting paid for this bullshit.
In a way, hopefull the lockout will purge the NBA of the bitch asses who live like
ballers but can't ball

[Chachachango]

Damn, Asik is ten times better than Bonner.

[NewJerSpur]

Watson!!!

[Brazil]

if the bulls maintain this kind of defense its going to be tough for miami

[Chachachango]

lololololololol

[NewJerSpur]

Luol BANG!!

[benefactor]

tee, hee.
Perhaps...maybe even O for 4 style. :)

[Brazil]

its over

[Red Hawk #21]

Brewer!

[LakerHater]

Deeeeng!

[Capt Bringdown]

Time for the WC to remind these turds how to play basketball.

[Killakobe81]

Game FAr from over ...

But maybe Heat enjoyed that win over the Celts a little TOO much ...

Series also far from over, but charles is on a SERIOUS roll ...if he gambled his picks he may make up some of the $ he owes Vegas ...

[IronMexican]

Chicago's already won as many games as I thought they'd win.

[davethedope]

And yeah, where did this Magliore come from? He looks like a doofus out there.
He hasn't played for months and this ass hat Spoelstra giving him run? What a fuckin'
idiot.

[benefactor]

If I'm the Mavs...I'd much rather see the Heat in the finals.

[LakerHater]

Perhaps...maybe even O for 4 style. :)
Yup thats why fLakers sre 0

[Giuseppe]

yup thats why flakers sre 0

8

[Killakobe81]

Lebron can still take over and win this ...

[100%duncan]

humiliating for miami getting beat by bulls' scrubs

[NewJerSpur]

Game FAr from over ...

But maybe Heat enjoyed that win over the Celts a little TOO much ...

Series also far from over, but charles is on a SERIOUS roll ...if he gambled his picks he may make up some of the $ he owes Vegas ...

Agreed on all fronts Killa.

[LakerHater]

[davethedope]

If I'm the Mavs...I'd much rather see the Heat in the finals.

Doesn't matter. Heat are making the bulls look good by playing like
morons. Dallas has still looked more effecient overall, but they are very
similar teams with washes

[LakerHater]

Oh man the IncrediBULLS!!!

[Red Hawk #21]

lol spolestra, your team doesnt believe you

[daslicer]

I'm surprised Spo would play Magliore over Haslem. Haslem may have not played for months but he is more suited to go against the bulls bigs then Magliore.

[InRareForm]

The tears are going to come again?

[Ace]

Wade and LeBron won't have three other bad games like this....

[NewJerSpur]

If Boozer starts tanking, look to Taj Thibs.

[Red Hawk #21]

Just keep attacking, Bulls.

[100%duncan]

lebron should jsut chuck up 3's they have more chances than playing their "gameplan"

[benefactor]

Wade and LeBron won't have three other bad games like this....
Too bad that won't change the raping the Heat front line will continue to receive.

[Chachachango]

Korver reminds me of Ashton Kutcher. I want to punch him.

[namlook]

Wade and LeBron won't have three other bad games like this....

Bosh won't keep playing this well either. Bulls are taking this series. They are better and deeper.

[Killakobe81]

LOL Bosh scoring 30 Heat still losing ...

[NewJerSpur]

Kyle Korver sighting....thank you.

[Red Hawk #21]

Korver!

[Capt Bringdown]

lol spolestra, your team doesnt believe you

Meet Phil Jackson, new coach of the Heat.

[100%duncan]

Bosh won't keep playing this well either. Bulls are taking this series. They are better and deeper.

long series, tbh. heat will win game 2
