ECF Game 2: Bulls vs. Heat

[Venti Quattro]

I feel that Miami will win this game.

[LakerHater]

Did you see this?

[Red Hawk #21]

Miami better bring they're best effort tonight if they plan on winning.

[2pac > Kobe]

bulls take this

[KidCongo]

Bye bye Heatles

[NewJerSpur]

Whatever fear the young Bulls MIGHT have had coming into this series went straight out the window with the way the Heat got punked on the boards and LeBron being reduced to the chucker we've seen him to be in playoffs past when the going got tough.

HOPEFULLY Chicago rides the momentum.....:corn:

[Killakobe81]

Lebron will go off .. Wade too of course.

LOL the White Mamba!

[Red Hawk #21]

:wow:wow

[NewJerSpur]

Craig Sager burning my retinas.

[Ace]

Wade with a monster game, Heat win 101-92

[NewJerSpur]

Same way Game 1 got started with Bosh in the PnR.....smart to get him going with easy buckets.

[HarlemHeat37]

Refs making an early impact, on the Bulls side, as usual..

[NewJerSpur]

James with the armbar/stiff arm on Deng to make sure he doesn't reach in for the poke away.

[4>0rings]

Boozer is worse than Duncan about not ever commiting a foul.

[HarlemHeat37]

Haslem would have been huge in this series, with Miami's lack of rebounding..

[NewJerSpur]

Haslem would have been huge in this series, with Miami's lack of rebounding..

Isn't he active?

[ogait]

Unnecessary double on Bosh there.

[NewJerSpur]

Booooooooogaaaaaaaaaaaannnnsss!!!

[DPG21920]

Offensive rebounding still a problem.

[Spurs da champs]

Damn offensive rebounds is the only way they score.

[4>0rings]

Bogans droppin calculated shit bombs on Pop

[NewJerSpur]

Rose with the MVP boards over Miami's bigs.

[Spurs da champs]

Damn Anthony can't rebound???

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Spoelstra puts Magloire in..

:lol Dampier inactive, even though he has been solid whenever he's on the floor..

[ogait]

I'm saying heat should limit their small ball play in this game. They are being rapped on the boards as it is.

[picc84]

Heat rebounding :lmao they might as well just let Chicago score so they can get the ball back :rollin

[Spurs da champs]

Magloire dunks on Rose lmao!

[LakerHater]

ON Rose.

[HarlemHeat37]

Luol Deng fouls on every single play..

I'm confident that 25 of the 30 teams in the NBA could play elite defense, if the refs allowed them to play as physical as they allow the Bulls..

Not surprised that the NBA is afraid of Rose's goons, tbh..

[InRareForm]

Is there a way to stream the gamee on my phone with wifi?

[Spurs da champs]

Wow the fucking whistles are annoying as hell, if this is the way the confrence finals are gonna be this shits gonna be boring!

[LakerHater]

Is player cam the only option?

[Killakobe81]

yes refs sucks, calling every handcheck is weak ...dont want 90's Heat vs. Knicks but calling every touch is weak sauce.

How does Bogans miss two FT's ?

[NewJerSpur]

LUOL BANG!!

Good to see the Bulls still dominating the offensive glass, but they've GOT to make those point blank shots/layups....the last floater Rose putup could've been a dumpoff to Noan on his right for a dunk.

[LakerHater]

Wow!!!

[Killakobe81]

LOL Lebron misses oop and Deng with a dunk back ...

Poor Lebron, last ECF he has elbow and West bangs his momma ...

Now, he is sick ...

[NewJerSpur]

Nice job not settling for the 3 OR throwing up the floater with Boozer on his side by Rose. He's looking to facilitate which=win.

[LakerHater]

2 fouls on Rose

[ogait]

Stupid fouls by Rose.

[Killakobe81]

Silly foul by Rose ...

[NewJerSpur]

Noah going Stockton to Malone out this mofo.

[Capt Bringdown]

Fuck Boozerball. Please flush these boring turds out of the playoffs. GO HEAT GO

[Killakobe81]

I'm still waiting on Lebron called 35 8 and 8 ...

That being said, if that was Kobe talking about being sick and congested, Harlem would call Kobe a drama queen and that he was making excuses for his poor play ....


Lebron however, he plays sick for the kids. Why is he talking about his ailments? LOL

Despite this, I Still hope James goes off tonight ...

[NewJerSpur]

Do it to'em Noah.

[ogait]

Joakin Magic Noah

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron is playing terribly, he needs to wake up..he has to realize that the refs will not be calling it on both sides, and play his game..

[lefty]

Noah is Nowitzki with less skills

[HarlemHeat37]

Why the fuck is Juwan Howard playing?..

what the fuck is Spoelstra doing?..

[Spurs da champs]

Noah is Nowitzki with less skills

:nope

[DPG21920]

I agree with Kerr. MIA is making silly roster moves for no reason in the ECF.

[DPG21920]

Noah is Nowitzki with less skills

He literally couldn't be more opposite than Dirk :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer missed Brewer open under the basket behind him, but Deng is dunking on EVERYone, LOL.

[LakerHater]

Playin pretty good without Rose.

[lefty]

Pat is fuming

[redzero]

Damn, this is hard to watch.

[Red Hawk #21]

Bulls looking sharp.

[Spurs da champs]

Man wtf is up with all these damn calls!

[Spurs da champs]

Lbj!

[Killakobe81]

Great dunk by James, that is more like it!!!!!!!

[ogait]

Seriously Howard, Miller, Chalmers, Haslem at the same time? If Miami pull this with this kind of coaching will be an amazing feat.

[gaKNOW!blee]

mario chalmers is so bad

[lefty]

Uhoh

Posterman is in

[LakerHater]

Here comes TAJ!

[Killakobe81]

Gibson the new folk hero in Chicago ...

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer faceguarding Howard of all people leads to a LeBron dunk.

Taj Gibson sighting. Waiting on the dunk, lol.

[4>0rings]

Noah is Nowitzki with less skills

[DPG21920]

This is just two excellent defensive teams battling and CHI is better on that end. MIA is struggling so much offensively because of CHI's defense.

Deng is playing great.

:lmao Deng

[Killakobe81]

GTFO!!! Deng!!!

[redzero]

Oh, the score keeper finally realized that he forgot to put four points on the board.

[4>0rings]

:lmao LeBron already quiting

[Killakobe81]

Lebron gave up on that, he really HAS to be sick ...

[NewJerSpur]

Remember when LeBron hit that shot in the EXACT same spot as Deng last year to put the Bulls away......:stirpot:

[lefty]

You knew that shot was going in as soon as it left his hands

[HarlemHeat37]

Wow, ridiculous..

[LakerHater]

Strike!

[lefty]

Oh, the score keeper finally realized that he forgot to put four points on the board.

:lmao

[NewJerSpur]

You knew that shot was going in as soon as it left his hands

:hat

[Budkin]

The Bulls are just a better team all around.

[crc21209]

The refs let Chicago get away with so much shit on defense its amazing...

[lefty]

This is just two excellent defensive teams battling and CHI is better on that end. MIA is struggling so much offensively because of CHI's defense.

Deng is playing great.

:lmao Deng

Both teams defend well but CHI is executing better on the offensive end.

[Red Hawk #21]

Bulls looked pretty good in the 1st.

[NewJerSpur]

Preach Coach Spo, PREACH!!

[Killakobe81]

WOW, gotta give Deng credit. If you would ask me after 1.25 games that he would play Lebron to a draw or arguably have been the better player ...I would of called you looney tunes.

Lebron has to fight through the congestion and win this. Wade may be more clutch more proven, but Lebron is the unique talent... he needs a "dirk like" performance.

[ogait]

Bad call.

[NewJerSpur]

How was that a foul on Watson?

[lefty]

Spo is pissed and Sager is smiling

[4>0rings]

Miller with more great decisions.

[HarlemHeat37]

Finally, some whistles against Chicago..it's about time, it's amazing how much they're allowed to get away with..

Miami has to play Wade and Lebron 45+ minutes, the Bulls don't respect anybody else on the team, they're daring them to beat them..

[Killakobe81]

2 cheap fouls on Bulls especially first one ...

[DPG21920]

:lol What kind of offense is that. Why is Mike Miller, who is a very solid player, playing like an idiot?

[NewcastleKEG]

Rose with only 2 points in the 1st Quarter. Bulls screwed

[Killakobe81]

now, 3 ...

[DPG21920]

If they start calling touch fouls, CHI is in trouble. Especially because it hasn't been called that way so far.

[Red Hawk #21]

Refs are about to step in for the cHeat.

[Killakobe81]

Great shot by Lebron hopefully that gets him going ...BIG shot.

[Nathan89]

King James is trying to take over.

[NewJerSpur]

Good fake by James to get open for the 3....Deng going off.

[DPG21920]

Deng finding some of his early magic.

[HarlemHeat37]

Handcheck, handcheck, handcheck, handcheck, push, push, push, grab..#1 defense in the NBA..

:lol Watson travels, but they call a foul:lol..

[Killakobe81]

King James is trying to take over.

He has too, he doesnt they lose ...

[Killakobe81]

Lebron is getting the message.

Great response by him.

[NewJerSpur]

Overly aggressive double by Taj setup that spin to the weakside. Watson playing serviceably (good on defense) but you've got tot get D-Rose back in there soon.

[Killakobe81]

Handcheck, handcheck, handcheck, handcheck, push, push, push, grab..#1 defense in the NBA..

:lol Watson travels, but they call a foul:lol..

You sure didnt mind that shit, when the 2008 Celts did that to the Lakers. It's actually smart they will only call so many fouls ...hibs defense is smart did the same with Rox ...

[Nathan89]

Handcheck, handcheck, handcheck, handcheck, push, push, push, grab..#1 defense in the NBA..

:lol Watson travels, but they call a foul:lol..

Yep they were fouling James again but the refs won't call that because they could call that every time if James forced the issue.

Watson was fouled.....5seconds....travel.....5seconds.....Ref s decide to make a call that happened 10 seconds ago.

[crc21209]

Handcheck, handcheck, handcheck, handcheck, push, push, push, grab..#1 defense in the NBA..

:lol Watson travels, but they call a foul:lol..

Good to see Im not the only one who sees it....

[NewJerSpur]

LeBron's a walking offensive foul....Deng is doing a good job on him.

[LakerHater]

Rose commin back in!

[Capt Bringdown]

Coaching can be important, who'dofthunkit? Clearly that spazz they got on the Miami sideline is in waay above his head.

[DPG21920]

Haslem is rebounding. He is making a small difference on that end. Could end up being huge.

[HarlemHeat37]

Haslem, even though he's hobbled and has no chemistry with the team, is doing good out there..if only he wasn't hurt, Spoelstra wouldn't have to play shitty players like Magloire and Howard..

[NewJerSpur]

Haslem is rebounding. He is making a small difference on that end. Could end up being huge.

Yup.

[Kyle Orton]

Haslem is one of the most underrated players in the NBA tbh

[NewJerSpur]

Please contribute SOMETHING Kyle Korver.

[Capt Bringdown]

I get the feeling both coaches would like to call a timeout after each basket if they could. Exciting stuff.

[ogait]

Gonna be a FT fest from here on.

[NewJerSpur]

Better off letting Bibby shoot it than have the big switch off to him....he's not going to drive the ball to the basket and he's LOOKING for the lane to pass it to the rolling big.

[NewJerSpur]

No one can split a double team like D-Wade.

[DPG21920]

Rose with only 4 points and still tied. Yikes.

[Red Hawk #21]

Miami with a strong response tbh

[Kyle Orton]

:lmao Dudley and Hill doing a commercial about using the word gay

[redzero]

Dwyane Wade is the most entertaining 2 in the league.

[Kyle Orton]

Rose with only 4 points and still tide. Yikes.

That's what I was thinking.

[NewJerSpur]

Korver hits a shot, and the foul erases it.....D-Rose baby

[Red Hawk #21]

Rose!

[NewJerSpur]

Kooooooooooorveeeeeeeeeeeeerr!!!

[Red Hawk #21]

Vamos!!

[ogait]

Korver sighting good to see. Miami on the other hand is Wade driblling and the rest of the team watching.

[Kyle Orton]

Yeah, Miami is getting so little out of it's other players this is gonna be a tough series for them to pull out. I was clearly wrong.

I still maintain the next 5 titles are theirs with a competent center, a healthy haslem/miller, and a more mature chalmers.

[Nathan89]

Rose with only 4 points and still tied. Yikes.

The game was http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTCgrjkDmYgPTXbA7jwjKsaoJguyH0y4 KGcMsOU-yd4THCBQnVc

[Hoops Czar]

Yeah, Miami is getting so little out of it's other players this is gonna be a tough series for them to pull out. I was clearly wrong.

yeah, you clearly were.

[ogait]

I still maintain the next 5 titles are theirs with a competent center, a healthy haslem/miller, and a more mature chalmers.

Add better coaching to that and you're probably right.

[DPG21920]

The game was http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTCgrjkDmYgPTXbA7jwjKsaoJguyH0y4 KGcMsOU-yd4THCBQnVc

Check it fool. Spelled correct in your quote.

[redzero]

Who told Bibby that he was supposed to hit 3-pointers?

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer with the softness....Miami doing a better job crashing the defensive boards.

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer with no resistance and the bad pass.

[Kyle Orton]

Korver off the dribble :lol

[DPG21920]

Wide open looks that guys like Korver and Bogans and Deng are hitting and MIA guys aren't.

[Kyle Orton]

yeah, you clearly were.

Well if the refs keep bailing them out I won't be

[redzero]

Wade is lucky a foul was called, because he lost control of the ball.

[Red Hawk #21]

:lol yet another bailout call for miami

[HarlemHeat37]

Wade and Lebron need to play the entire 2nd half, only chance they have..

Bibby is so terrible..he should be shooting 50%+ with all the looks he gets, that's the only thing he's paid to do..Chalmers needs to wake the fuck up in the 2nd half, he needs to see the floor more than Bibby, obviously..

[NewJerSpur]

If Korver doesn't start consistently making open looks, I'm rolling with Bogues and Brewer.

[Killakobe81]

Add better coaching to that and you're probably right.

the next 5? doubt that .... 3 out of 5 possibly ...

[NewJerSpur]

Thankfully Rose has stopped chucking 3's and isn't shooting jumpers unless he's in rhythm or the clock is running down.

[crc21209]

If Korver doesn't start consistently making open looks, I'm rolling with Bogues and Brewer.

Bogans? :lmao

[ogait]

Wow Kerr has the guts to tell the truth about Kobe. Not a lot of media does that.

[Kyle Orton]

lol Bibby just standing there on defense

[HarlemHeat37]

Kerr might be the best analyst, tbh, along with McHale..

[ogait]

the next 5? doubt that .... 3 out of 5 possibly ...

All 5 no, but a dominant run over the next 5 or 6 years winning more than half of those ye. That's why I want them to loose now.

[DPG21920]

MIA can't get any true momentum. They get the lead, but CHI gets it right back. They have settled in, but they can't separate at all.

[crc21209]

Stupid foul by Korver...

[Killakobe81]

refs are horrible ....

[NewJerSpur]

Bogans? :lmao

Yup: better defense, can hit the occasional 3. Korver's giving up a lot if he isn't drilling 3's.

[crc21209]

Damn Korver sucks tonight.....

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Boozer still getting away with push-offs on rebounds, even though he's been in the NBA for years and the refs know he does it all the time..

[Red Hawk #21]

Rose is missing a lot of makeable shots tbh

[Ace]

I'm not one to complain about refs but they have to call Boozer pushing off as much as he does ...

[Kyle Orton]

Rose is missing a lot of makeable shots tbh

Yeah this is why Miami is in trouble. Chicago can't make the wide open shots they keep getting while Lebron and Wade are both playing well, yet Miami's only up by two.

[ogait]

So basically if Chicago starts making shots the Heat are fucked.

[Killakobe81]

They need MJ talking about the "shove" and the "goose neck" ...on Russell LOL

BR will be pissed, challenge MJ to a 1 on1 match ...like he did after Mj's HOF speech ...

[DPG21920]

Not looking good for MIA although they played a lot better in that 2nd half of the 2nd quarter. But many things going their way and they are neck and neck with the Bulls.

If their shooting dips or Rose wakes up, they could be in for another tough night.

[Killakobe81]

:lol Boozer still getting away with push-offs on rebounds, even though he's been in the NBA for years and the refs know he does it all the time..

itz cuz he yells ...refs think he is outworking the opposing bigs ...

[crc21209]

Great end to the half for Miami. Like Kerr said, they could have easily gotten down by double digits early in that 2nd qtr....

[NewJerSpur]

Bulls missing a lot of point blank shots and Heat aren't allowing them the easy weakside putbacks from Game 1.

Rose has to get going and be more aggressive with the ball in his hands and Bibby trying to defend him. LeBron and Wade playing better off each other but Bosh has come back down to earth and everyone else is being held in check.

[Killakobe81]

Look for Rose to step up in 2nd half, if Wade or Lebron falters Heat in trouble they maintain their level of play should be a great game in the 2nd half ...hopefully refs STFU

LOL Reggie calling out that one dycksuck ref ...

[NewJerSpur]

itz cuz he yells ...refs think he is outworking the opposing bigs ...

:lmao

It's his trademark and what's kept him around (the pushoffs). Pushoff, weakside boards/putbacks as a result of everyone else's hard work.

[Ace]

Rose back to earth and his usual bad shooting percentage...

[Killakobe81]

Rose back to earth and his usual bad shooting percentage...

He will apologize to his team, and come out ballin' if the stories of Game 1 are accurate.

[NewJerSpur]

Game on.

[100%duncan]

lbj and dwade gotta score 30 each for the heat to win this

[Tp9gospursgo]

So basically if Chicago starts making shots the Heat are fucked.

[100%duncan]

bosh is fucked up tonight

[Killakobe81]

Great offense by Heat on that last play, great ball movement ...

[100%duncan]

no foul call what the fuck

[NewJerSpur]

bosh is fucked up tonight

Yup.

Nice defense by Bogues on Wade.

[Killakobe81]

great pass by Rose ...

[100%duncan]

the team that's going to win the third will win the game,imo

[Killakobe81]

Weak foul by Bibby Rose dribbled in to 3 people ...

[100%duncan]

Yup.

Nice defense by Bogues on Wade.

the heat couldn't rely on bosh to be consistent what a disappointment

[Killakobe81]

Bulls are NOT making the shots they hit last game ...

[100%duncan]

lbj was really pushed tbh why whine?

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer is the weakest of the Bulls' big men period.

[100%duncan]

lol FT

[Killakobe81]

LOL Lebron misses 2 Ft's and makes jumper ... LOL

[100%duncan]

Boozer is the weakest of the Bulls' big men period.

overrated,tbh

great move by wade

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer getting waxed on both ends of the floor.

[Killakobe81]

Boozer sucks he can only make lay-ups when a smaller man switches on him or Rose draws the defense ...

[100%duncan]

If rose suddenly gets his shot back heat are fucked

[Killakobe81]

Lebron wade need to try to keep this lead if Bulls are down late not sure I trust their shooting to make up the deficit especially since LBJ and
Wade will get FT's ...

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer sucks he can only make lay-ups when a smaller man switches on him or Rose draws the defense ...

D-Will/Sloan made him look like an All-Star milking the Pick-n-Pop but MAN is he soft. Sad you have to rely on that to get you to a Championship, just sad.

[100%duncan]

wow offense rebs

[NewJerSpur]

Deng looking like Pippen.

[Killakobe81]

Deng needs to look to score more ...

[100%duncan]

finally bosh makes a shot

[Killakobe81]

Booze sucks, shitty closeout on Bosh ...

[Budkin]

The Bulls offense is way off tonight.

[100%duncan]

wasted and 1 opportunity

[Killakobe81]

Great move by LBJ ...

[NewJerSpur]

LeBron with his trusty hook to get passed Deng and make himself get to the basket faster.

[redzero]

LeBron was sculpted from adamantium on Mount Olympus.

[DPG21920]

Bulls big men are great about getting deep position as soon as they ball goes up.

That should be FT's.

[100%duncan]

fuck man, the offensive rebounding of bulls is so damn great

[Budkin]

Wow horrible call.

[NewJerSpur]

Good call.

[crc21209]

Lol Bogans flop....

[Killakobe81]

LeBron was sculpted from adamantium on Mount Olympus.

LOL he and Dwight both ...and Blake's Calves ...

[100%duncan]

lol rose

[redzero]

If Joel Anthony were to drop dead on the court right now, would anyone care?

[NewJerSpur]

Good call.

Correction, good acting. :lol

[100%duncan]

I really hate bibby overrated sonofabitch, HE CANT SHOOT

[ogait]

Rose has to finish better.

[Killakobe81]

Rose playing like Westbrook at the rim tonight, TBH ...

[100%duncan]

dragging 3rd qtr

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, lol.

[DPG21920]

:wow Haslem

[100%duncan]

someone give that a fucking GIF!

[crc21209]

Just looking at Boozer and hearing him yell makes me hate the Bulls even more...

[DPG21920]

:lmao wow

[Killakobe81]

Haslem FTW!!!

Not quite Taj but that was nice ...

[Killakobe81]

Just looking at Boozer and hearing him yell maked me hate the Bulls even more...

biggest yapper in the NBA ...

[NewJerSpur]

Deng dribbling too much.

[100%duncan]

lebron james bitches!

[Killakobe81]

Lebron taking over ...

[DPG21920]

That is the first time I have seen playoff level energy from Lebron tonight and you see what it can do.

[timtonymanu]

Lol Bulls

[crc21209]

Damn...hell of a move by Lebron! :tu

[100%duncan]

witwew! D Wade!

[Killakobe81]

Heat raising their level of play ...

[NewJerSpur]

Wade with the patented side step to avoid the contact. Bulls have to make sure the lead doesn't balloon over 10 with the way they're scoring and Miami is doubling going into the 4th.....at least they get the ball to start, but they have to stop turning the bal over.

[100%duncan]

they are doing a good job in intercepting the bulls' passing lane which is leading them to fastbreaks

[Killakobe81]

Like i said if Lebron plays like this that is what makes the Heat special ...

[Red Hawk #21]

bulls in trouble tbh

[NewJerSpur]

Less Boozer, more Taj in the 4th please.

[Killakobe81]

Screw facilitating, Lebron needs to dominate.

[100%duncan]

Like i said if Lebron plays like this that is what makes the Heat special ...

yes, and if lebron doesn't just like in game 1 the heat are fucked

[Budkin]

Having Haslem back in the lineup finally starts to make the Heat as scary as we thought they would be.

[100%duncan]

Less Boozer, more Taj in the 4th please.

make the dream finals happen! :lol

[Ace]

Its great to see UD back. Once he's going the Heat will be much better off in their big rotation...

[100%duncan]

Haslem!

[resistanze]

lol no offense

[DPG21920]

Haslem playing like Amare. He's not f'ng around.

[NewJerSpur]

D-Rose with the save.

[GuerillaBlack]

Haslem again!

[Ace]

Right when I post that. Haslem...

[LakerHater]

Haslem!!

[dirk4mvp]

what a fucking dunk.

[100%duncan]

Haslem>>>>Bosh

[Killakobe81]

Wow, Udonis. Like some say one of the most underated players in the NBA ...Haslem plays well Heat wont need much help ...in off-season. having Miller and Haslem healthy is like adding two players to this squad TBH ..
