ECF Game 3: Heat vs Bulls

[Venti Quattro]

Heat take this one in style.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic brought up a point I made in a previous thread in that this game/series boils down to what the Bulls do or do not get from Boozer and ESPECIALLY Korver.

[100%duncan]

making sure it stays on top or else someone's gonna make another one

[Giuseppe]

We'll see if Miami is serious, or, just funnin' about like OKC.

[ChrisRichards]

We got this one pops. Heat has momentum now and forever.

[Bill_Brasky]

But....but....Lebron can't close games!!!

[Killakobe81]

Heat win. they better. No more pussyfootin' around the issue mr. James this is YOUR team now, your moment.

[Red Hawk #21]

Bulls steal one.

[thedong]

Rose = triple double no assist. Like a mother fucccccc ing monster.

[2pac > Kobe]

bulls take this

[DeadlyDynasty]

Heat win both home games.

[LakerHater]

With that Ref assignment, Heat win!

[ElNono]

Any good sammich recommendations?

[NewJerSpur]

Alright Thibs, if Boozer and Korver start coming up short late, PLEASE go to the bench earlier than later.

No Bull, Go Bulls.

[LakerHater]

Here we go!

[lefty]

TSN with another TNT en Espanol


Fail :lmao

[NewJerSpur]

It's time.

[LakerHater]

LoL, Rose!!

[redzero]

What the hell is going on?

[NewJerSpur]

What the hell?

[LakerHater]

Where we go with the refs!!!

[ElNono]

crofl 3 whistles 10 secs in

[SAtown]

Refs makin sure this goes exactly according to plan

[LakerHater]

Dang Deng!

[Spurs da champs]

lol Boozer so overrated, D will made him.

[NewJerSpur]

Foul, really?

[NewJerSpur]

D-rooooose!!

[Spurs da champs]

No foul?!

[NewJerSpur]

LOL, Wade worked harder for that rebound than Bosh.

[LakerHater]

WoW, no foul???

[redzero]

lol Boozer so overrated, D will made him.

Boozer got that contract when he went to Utah for a reason.

[NewJerSpur]

Bogaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaans!!

[lefty]

Wade :lmao

[Banzai]

lol...

[NewJerSpur]

Heat missing a lot of point blank layups to start.

[Spurs da champs]

Joel Anthony!

[lefty]

Anthony, Montreal represent !!!!!!!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

got a c-note on Miami (-5)

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer never fails to disappoint.

[redzero]

That camera angle was badass.

[LakerHater]

WoW, Bulls!!

[NewJerSpur]

Can't stop D-Rose, can only hope to contain him one-on-one.

[DPG21920]

This is a gritty, physical and defensive series marked by a few explosive offensive players. It's awesome.

[LakerHater]

How can you lose James!

[Spurologist]

Anyone catch 'Fuck you faggot' from Noah

[LakerHater]

Boozer jus threw it up there!

[Amarelooms]

Why even guard Bibby??? I wouldn't even play him on D....he probably can't even make a layup just like Kidd

:elephant

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer has no real post game, it's a bad idea to try to get him the ball on the block and expect him to work especially when Miami is doubling which he doesn't seem to know how to handle. Get him in the PnP/PnR or working the high-low like they were doing in Game 1 which they got a way from for some reason.

[Wennington]

Dwyane Wade has been Chicago's best player in this game, not playing like himself.

[Kyle Orton]

Sup Wennington.

Who would you take, Jordan or Kobe, and why?

[NewJerSpur]

Miami doubling everything and Chicago not making quick passes around the floor towards the basket.

[Wennington]

Sup Wennington.

Who would you take, Jordan or Kobe, and why?

:lol Laughable, stupidity, typical of this damn forum, the worst of the worst, full of lifeless and pathetic trolls. I'm tired of this immaturity, as you constantly display, but I cannot let go.

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer stripped by a guy laying on the floor.

[LakerHater]

Whata Block!

[ElNono]

Boozer having his annual playoff vaginal tear...

[Wennington]

Lebron James's defense is unfair to the NBA.

[Kyle Orton]

:lol Laughable, stupidity, typical of this damn forum, the worst of the worst, full of lifeless and pathetic trolls. I'm tired of this immaturity, as you constantly display, but I cannot let go.
You didn't answer my question, do you have any actual basketball takes?

[Spurologist]

Boozer :lmao

[ElNono]

Wennington, did you get your nails done?

[timtonymanu]

Boozer fuckin sucks

[Jodelo]

Boozer :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Hopefully the Bulls 2nd unit can loosen this game up a bit.....1 time Korver, 1 time.

[LakerHater]

Anyone catch 'Fuck you faggot' from Noah
26QqAOrXHes

[Wennington]

You didn't answer my question, do you have any actual basketball takes?

I retired my basketball takes years ago, which coincided with the decline of this forum. All I'm going to say is that Jordan is better, because I think he is better, and that's all that matters.

PS. what do you think about frosted tips?

[Jodelo]

Boozer is playing so awful, hilarious

Do you have any stats to actually backup your opinion?

PS. highlights are gay

[NewJerSpur]

Asik and Taj doing work.....might have been over th back on Asik though.

[resistanze]

Anthony REGULATING niggas

[Ace]

That nigga the Warden doing work...

[Jodelo]

Anythony shitting over the Bulls bigs on defense!

[LakerHater]

Damn those dancers!!

[NewJerSpur]

Well, Miami set the tone on defense, Bulls have to execute better in halfcourt or try to run a little more and catch the Heat offguard in transition off of TO's and rebounds. Nasty block by Anthony.

[NewJerSpur]

Sager with a NORMAL suit?! :wow

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, Asik is going up just as weak as Boozer right now.

[resistanze]

Bosh trying to find his sack :lol

[100%duncan]

boozer you fuckface

[peskypesky]

Bosh trying to find his sack :lol

:toast:lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Good defense, better shot.

[DPG21920]

Boozer shitting all over SpursTalk.

[100%duncan]

:lol miller

[Wennington]

Every time I refresh this thread, the last poster is always the same.

[peskypesky]

defensive slug-fest

[NewJerSpur]

Mike Miller doing damage on both ends.

[peskypesky]

Boozer shitting all over SpursTalk.

not on me! I'm a Boozer fan.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Look at that beautiful city!

[100%duncan]

while this is happening we have wwe over the limit ppv on our arena :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer shitting all over SpursTalk.

I'll take it for the time being. :lol

[LakerHater]

Gloria Estefan on James' cam!

[Brazil]

boozer playing hard lol

[100%duncan]

bosh and boozer suddenly found their game

[Brazil]

bosh jumper here is automatic

[resistanze]

Boozer and Bosh slugfest.

[NewJerSpur]

The jumpshot starting to heat up (no pun intended).

[NewJerSpur]

bosh and boozer suddenly found their game

Ironic. Korver sighting.

[LakerHater]

:lmao, James chew in his nails!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

fun game so far...old school feel to it

[100%duncan]

:lol defense

[Brazil]

wade needs to wake up

[Wennington]

Wade looks like he partied too much last night.

[peskypesky]

Boozer and Bosh slugfest.
:toast

[NewJerSpur]

Ronnie Brewer with the shoulder to Miller going for the looseball, lol. Good to see guys diving like they want it.

[peskypesky]

fun game so far...old school feel to it

most definitely. old school in the paint b-ball.

[Bill_Brasky]

Wade looks hungover, lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Wonder if the Heat go back to doubling Boozer now that he's made a couple of shots or if the threat of the ball rotating to an open Korver has them tentative.

[DPG21920]

At least we aren't dealing with 15 threads whining about "no calls" or "cheating" like last night. This is how it's supposed to be.

[NewJerSpur]

Looked like Noah got Bosh's arm.

[NewJerSpur]

At least we aren't dealing with 15 threads whining about "no calls" or "cheating" like last night. This is how it's supposed to be.

It's early yet :lol.............:stirpot:

[DPG21920]

It's funny how guys with talent (Boozer or Bosh) can become so minimized at times. Then you see them play well and you remember how important they can be to a team.

[Brazil]

OMG wade is drunk or what?

[DPG21920]

It's also always hard to tell how much of the bad offense is due to great defense and how much is just a lack of all around talent outside of the main guys. The role players on each team are pretty damn limited offensively.

[DPG21920]

:lol Drunk Wade

[lefty]

We need a GIF of Wade being rejected by the rim

[LakerHater]

We need a GIF of Wade being rejected by the rim
Its been up brother!

[DeadlyDynasty]

It's also always hard to tell how much of the bad offense is due to great defense and how much is just a lack of all around talent outside of the main guys. The role players on each team are pretty damn limited offensively.

More a matter of great defense. There's been good ball movement and some beautiful assists on both sides.

[NewJerSpur]

Bulls should feel good if they can keep the game close to end the half with having to scrape on offense. Deng and Rose are going to have to get going.

[DPG21920]

LakerHater makes gifs before things even happen.

[Red Hawk #21]

smh boozer

[lefty]

Its been up brother!
Where where ? :p:

[Isitjustme?]

Boozer passes up a wide open free throw line jumper to pick up a charge. smh

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer's a spotup jump shooter, can't turn down those shots if the stroke is working.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Rose w/ butterfingers tonight

[DPG21920]

Damn, MIA is like a bunch of piranha :lol

[100%duncan]

I hope at least 2 players gonna fist fight

[Red Hawk #21]

boozer sucks.

[NewJerSpur]

Rose with the late rotation.

[DeadlyDynasty]

bad call

[Capt Bringdown]

These newbie coaches would call a timeout after each play if they could. East Coast stink ball, this is like watching a JV game.

[DPG21920]

Good call, that was definitely a block.

[100%duncan]

boozer sucks.

:toast

[NewJerSpur]

Rose is going to have to be MUCH more aggressive in the 2nd half.

[Red Hawk #21]

Keep going strong, MVP.

[NewJerSpur]

Asik doing work on defense, nice close to the half given Miami's early momentum.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Come on Miami...win and cover

[Wennington]

Cheering for a gangbanger as the best player on my team is very difficult. Michael was a piece of shit, too, but at least he wasn't running with drug dealers, rapists, etc.

I'll still cheer for Rose, but he makes it difficult on me. Every time I get excited about one of his plays, I get reminded of all the innocent families that his crew has destroyed.

[Brazil]

Rose with 0 assist the first half thats bad

[DeadlyDynasty]

:rollin

What are your thoughts on dark, lactating nipples?

[NewJerSpur]

:rollin

What are your thoughts on dark, lactating nipples?

He gave himself away with the 1st part of that statement. :lol

[resistanze]

Dark lactating nipples?..How is that relevant to the discussion..

..

[DeadlyDynasty]

Dark lactating nipples?..How is that relevant to the discussion..

..

my mind wanders

[lefty]

lol at that Bird-McHale photoshop

[NewJerSpur]

Dark lactating nipples?..How is that relevant to the discussion..

..

You have to think back to avatars of old Daniel son.

[lefty]

Rose with 0 assist the first half thats bad
Well, it's not like he has tons of scorers around him

[NewJerSpur]

lol at that Bird-McHale photoshop

:lmao

LOL @ Chuck stalking McHale on the beach too.

[NewJerSpur]

Game on.

[Brazil]

Well, it's not like he has tons of scorers around him

normally he assists a lot of shoots tonite his passing is off miami is doing also a good job.

fortunately for chicago wade is playing drunk tonite

[lefty]

:lmao

LOL @ Chuck stalking McHale on the beach too.
didnt see that one :lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

normally he assists a lot of shoots tonite his passing is off miami is doing also a good job.

fortunately for chicago wade is playing drunk tonite

ducks has some competition

[NewJerSpur]

didnt see that one :lol

No photo, he just commented on seeing McHale in a speedo earlier :lol.

[NewJerSpur]

Looked like Bibby got Noah on the arm going up.

[lefty]

No photo, he just commented on seeing McHale in a speedo earlier :lol.
:lol

[DPG21920]

Bosh going Dirk on it.

[Isitjustme?]

Smart move James, any time you have Noah on you, you definitely want to take a pull up 21 footer.

[LakerHater]

Fuckin Bosh!?

[lefty]

normally he assists a lot of shoots tonite his passing is off miami is doing also a good job.

fortunately for chicago wade is playing drunk tonite
Yeah he does look hungover

[DeadlyDynasty]

bosh heat check

[NewJerSpur]

Rose had Bogans in the corner, but he got the bucket.

[Kyle Orton]

Miami winning with Lebron having to do jack shit

Chic:lolco = f:lolcked

[NewJerSpur]

Roooooooooooose!!!

[LakerHater]

Tied up!

[NewJerSpur]

Triple teaming LeBron=loss

[Brazil]

biby is a fucking liability in O and D

[LakerHater]

WTF, Bibby??

[Brazil]

lol me

[davethedope]

lebron can be so careless with his passes. It's fucking annoying

[NewJerSpur]

Advantage, Chi-town.

[DPG21920]

Rose doing it all.

[Brazil]

centerpiece is dominating wade

[DPG21920]

Cue the "maybe this wakes Wade up" comments.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I'm just grateful I don't have to listen to Mark Jackson for a game.

[Isitjustme?]

Bruce Bowen getting some love. :)

[NewJerSpur]

At least Derrick is getting to the cup at will now.....hopefully when he misses with all of the attention he attracts, the Bulls go back to getting easy offensive putbacks like in Game 1.

[NewJerSpur]

Bruce Bowen getting some love. :)

:tu

[LakerHater]

Whoaaa!

[DPG21920]

Reggie is right. There hasn't been any runs. No separation. I wonder if any team will actually do it or if it will be a last possession type game.

Rose is capable, but it seems like Wade/Bron just have those runs in them.

[NewJerSpur]

weak layup by Boozer, terrible transition defense.

[LakerHater]

Bibby with 2 3s!???

[DPG21920]

Two guys that are top 5 on both ends.

[Wennington]

As a die-hard Bulls fan, I will say that Lebron James's defense is levels better than Scottie's defense ever was.

[Kyle Orton]

Reggie is right. There hasn't been any runs. No separation. I wonder if any team will actually do it or if it will be a last possession type game.

Rose is capable, but it seems like Wade/Bron just have those runs in them.

Tbh it seems like all of the games in this series will go down to the wire from here on out, the difference maker is 2>1 as THAT trigga Nick Manning pointed out.

[NewJerSpur]

Deng is trying to pumpfake James to death and it seems to be slowing him down from making his 1st move now that the cat is out of the bag. Occasionally is cool, but he's got to just put the ball on the floor and go to keep the defense honest more.

[Brazil]

ducks has some competition

:lol :toast

[DeadlyDynasty]

That Dr. J play still looks bad-ass imo

[NewJerSpur]

Wow.

[redzero]

Jurassic Park is tearing it up.

[DeadlyDynasty]

crofl Bosh is slaying

[LakerHater]

Bosh has 24??

[DeadlyDynasty]

there's my cover! put the pedal down now

[timtonymanu]

Good job, Taj!

You woke up Bosh.

[NewJerSpur]

Heat starting to trap Rose hard again out by the 3-point line....Bulls have to swing the ball and find the unguarded man who hopefully is moving without the ball. Noah's been the best at making the extra pass in this series.

[davethedope]

where's Noah?

[NewJerSpur]

Finally, an offensive putback.

[NewJerSpur]

where's Noah?

Fouls/rest I think.

[DeadlyDynasty]

This is gonna be a tough loss for Chicago cause they're not gonna get another effort like this from Boozer.

[DPG21920]

Tbh it seems like all of the games in this series will go down to the wire from here on out, the difference maker is 2>1 as THAT trigga Nick Manning pointed out.


Kyle, who has had a better playoff run: Bosh or Amare?

[NewJerSpur]

Good defense, bad possession.

[Kai]

This game is kinda weird. Feel like Rose, LeBron, Wade aren't making their usual impact. Big Man battle.

[Kyle Orton]

Kyle, who has had a better playoff run: Bosh or Amare?

The answer is obvious here, but a year ago the Bosh Krew argued Bosh > Amare and said Amare's playoff run didn't matter.

[NewJerSpur]

Needed that, even though Rose had the lane for a layup, at least he's looking for his teammates.

[Wennington]

Lebron is Magic Johnson with Scottie Pippen's defense, it's unreal. Why couldn't Derrick make an effort to recruit him?

[DeadlyDynasty]

lol that was def steps on bron

[DPG21920]

The answer is obvious here

These are things we know. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Thank you Mike Miller.

[Isitjustme?]

Why would you want to live in Miami in the summer? Its fucking hot as hell.

[Kai]

Lebron is Magic Johnson with Scottie Pippen's defense, it's unreal. Why couldn't Derrick make an effort to recruit him?

Would not have made a difference.

[Kyle Orton]

Why would you want to live in Miami in the summer? Its fucking hot as hell.
It beats where I'm living (lol desert)

[DPG21920]

Just when a team goes on a run, they let them right back in. Lets see if Bron has it in him again.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Why would you want to live in Miami in the summer? Its fucking hot as hell.

It is, but it's not that bad if you're from here. Besides, our falls/winters>anywhere else

[Kyle Orton]

DPG, I've changed my tune in the sense that I DON'T think Amare would be a better fit in Miami than Bosh.

[Wennington]

Would not have made a difference.

James's defense in Thibodeau's system would be historic.

[Kyle Orton]

Wennington, you are a shit poster

[Gold Tooth Carl]

Why would you want to live in Miami in the summer? Its fucking hot as hell.

because all of the women's fat are in their asses and not I their stomachs lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

It beats where I'm living (lol desert)

I lived in Tempe during the summer in 2004. Fuck all those faggots who say "it's just a dry heat." Shit was 114 degrees every day

[NewJerSpur]

Chalmers had an easy jumper but runs into traffic.

[NewJerSpur]

I'll give LeBron that jumper.

[DeadlyDynasty]

LBJ needs to save my bet...good start

[Isitjustme?]

It beats where I'm living (lol desert)

Meh, at least they are clearing the place of beaners where you live. SA is fucking loaded with em. Not that I have any problem with that :shootme

[Kai]

James's defense in Thibodeau's system would be historic.

Rose recruiting James wouldn't do shit. He and his buddies wanted to play together. He could play in Jesus Christ's system, wouldn't have mattered. He was going to Miami.

[Kyle Orton]

Meh, at least they are clearing the place of beaners where you live. SA is fucking loaded with em. Not that I have any problem with that :shootme
I live in Tucson, it's a liberal city, the beaners are here to stay, but it beats living with a bunch of racist honkies in Phoenix.

[NewJerSpur]

If Watson keeps throwing passes that far under the rim behind the backboard, D-Rose is going to have a short rest. Hopefully, dude isn't gassed to end the 4th like Game 2 as a result.

[Bill_Brasky]

Bosh shitting all over ST :lol

[Kyle Orton]

I lived in Tempe during the summer in 2004
Why on Earth would you wanna live there? Did you ever eat at the Chuckbox?

[LakerHater]

DAMN, these dancers!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Do it to'em Rose!!

[Spur-Addict]

10 assists for Bron? Solid.

[LakerHater]

Bosh???

[Kai]

Chris Motherfuckin Bosh.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, good call.

[NewJerSpur]

Props to Bosh, dude is going JJ Barea right now. Good call.

[Ace]

Bosh straight merkin niggas

[Spur-Addict]

Easy call to make. Obvious charge

[NewJerSpur]

D-Rose baby.

[DPG21920]

Wade is just off today. Rose, that was a spectacular finish.

[Spur-Addict]

Wow, tough shot by ROse on the break. WOW

[DPG21920]

B:lolsh

[Spur-Addict]

Bosh LOL This is hilarious

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Boozer, you've got to put that down.

[LakerHater]

Fuckin Bosh!

[Isitjustme?]

Cause of Death: Chris Bosh

Good Lord, how humiliating.

[Spur-Addict]

Make a layup Carlos.

[DPG21920]

Bosh had a great game in game one as well. It was just wasted overall, but he has done well against the CHI front court.

[NewJerSpur]

1 time Korver.

[DPG21920]

Cause of Death: Chris Bosh

Good Lord, how humiliating.

:lol I don't get these comments. Bosh, while not a superstar like Duncan, Kobe or Lebron is still a top player in this league.

It's not like he is some scrub. Yes, he is a finesse big, but he is a solid player.

[Wennington]

:lol What the fuck is Derrick Rose doing? That's not an MVP caliber play.

[NewJerSpur]

Bad pass by Deng, keep it on the perimeter until there's an opening.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Why on Earth would you wanna live there? Did you ever eat at the Chuckbox?

Long story...post-college me and 3 roommates traveled the country in some pseudo-Keruoac trip. One of them had connects in Tempe so we all stuck around for a few months and thought about getting jobs.

Just basically spent every night getting shit-faced on Mill Ave and chasing trim, though.

[redzero]

lol Rose bailing Wade out.
