Heat @ Bulls game 5, brought to you by Barkley's big mouth

[san antonio spurs]

For the 3rd game in a row, Rose with bad TOs late...

[resistanze]

Wade gets the call
Rose doesn't get the call


Come on.. . .

:lmao

[InRareForm]

Wow I called it in the 3rd quarter, Lebron was going to do something special this game

[NewJerSpur]

Lol, don't know why they didn't have Deng on Bron instead of Brewer. Got to execute now.

[lil_penny]

Lebron and wade are unreal

[lefty]

Rose got seriously deflowered

[IronMaxipad]

Witness

[Red Hawk #21]

Bulls have lost all of my respect, just GTFO.

[Spurologist]

Thibodeau has used all TOs

hmmmmmmm

[BanditHiro]

lol bail out foul

[Killakobe81]

I called that ...but at least now he makes that step back shot ...

He makes that, like I said only current player with a shot at GOAT ...

[100%duncan]

what the fuck?

[davethedope]

awful fucking call

[Brazil]

Ot ?

[NewJerSpur]

Please make your FT's.

[Crookshanks]

I so wanted the Bulls to win this series - but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. They are really choking in this series.

[Red Hawk #21]

Watch Rose choke at the line.

[TampaDude]

Yup...that's what you do if you're the Bulls...Rose drive and draw the foul.

[NewJerSpur]

Thibodeau has used all TOs

hmmmmmmm

Smh.

[resistanze]

Rose!!!! :lmao

[Pelicans78]

Rose chokes again.

[100%duncan]

:lol rose choking

[davethedope]

that is one truthful ball. He cannot tell a lie

[Cessation]

I'll have to download the game later, wtf is going on? Weren't the bulls up just several minutes ago?

[dirk4mvp]

:lmao Rose GTFO

[Banzai]

lol

[Killakobe81]

Rose with his history of choking big FT's just like the final four ...

[100%duncan]

Please make your FT's.

:lmao

[siraulo23]

tyd4NPvzKQg

nothing you can do about that

lbj getting hot

and lol rose choking at the FT

[Red Hawk #21]

Watch Rose choke at the line.

:hat

[DPG21920]

I said Rose was a choker all year in those moments. I said it's just one of those things.

[picc84]

For the love of....where's my goddamn Dirk jersey?

[TampaDude]

Oh shit...Rose missed one...pucker time for the Bulls!

[Brazil]

too yound to be mvp tbh

[Pelicans78]

I called that ...but at least now he makes that step back shot ...

He makes that, like I said only current player with a shot at GOAT ...

If he could develop a post game with a jumper? :wow

[Ace]

Rose choking on free throws, where have I seen this before?.. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Got to foul, don't mess around playing the time game with a 1 second differential.

[patos]

lol this game is funny guys

[resistanze]

I can't wait for next year for Joe Johnson to win the MVP.

[Frenzy]

Pressure got to rose...smh

[san antonio spurs]

Watch Rose choke at the line.:lol

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Unreal..... might be on for Tuesday night

[100%duncan]

Rose is the only mvp who chokes big time

[Brazil]

All changed with the first HH post unbeavable

[Red Hawk #21]

The Bulls disgust me, they completely threw this series away. So many blown opportunities. Enjoy your off-season.

[redzero]

LOL Rose

[Cessation]

Holy shit! He missed BOTH? wow chokecity

[100%duncan]

almost a foul :lol bulls

[BanditHiro]

dammit i really wanted lebron james to be taking these FT.

[NewJerSpur]

For the love of....where's my goddamn Dirk jersey?

:lol

[Spurologist]

:lol rose choking

reminiscent of MJ tbh

[resistanze]

To think I was upset when Nash won his second MVP. I'm sowwy Stevie.

[Killakobe81]

Bulls and OKC have a lot to learn ...

[100%duncan]

Holy shit! He missed BOTH? wow chokecity

only the second

[siraulo23]

Dallas-Heat rematch five years later

[ogait]

Serious bad coaching by Thib this time. KT gave him some minutes but no way he can play an entire 4th quarter after not playing the entire series.

[BanditHiro]

Anything is possible!!!!

[100%duncan]

:lol bulls

[NewJerSpur]

And there's the game.

[DPG21920]

Incredible. Going to be a great finals.

[picc84]

Christ. Somebody bomb south beach already.

[davethedope]

this has been the best nba season in a long time.

[Red Hawk #21]

Good block Lebron, tell that choker to get that shit out!

[NewJerSpur]

Bulls and OKC have a lot to learn ...

Very much so, and so do their coaches regarding game management.

[Killakobe81]

Wade should thank God Lebron took his talents to South Beach

[Crookshanks]

Bulls and OKC have a lot to learn ...

Yep! Both teams had the talent to win, but not the maturity and intelligence. Neither team could execute down the stretch.

[100%duncan]

what a motherfucking choke

[NewJerSpur]

Good block Lebron, tell that choker to get that shit out!

Revenge. :lol:toast

[ogait]

And props to Lebron. Shot down Rose completely and made the big buckets.

[Killakobe81]

Serious bad coaching by Thib this time. KT gave him some minutes but no way he can play an entire 4th quarter after not playing the entire series.

Great point, and they gave Rose no breathers late either ...

[100%duncan]

dream finals :lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Wade should thank God Lebron took his talents to South Beach

Wade helped get them back into this game after his struggles and CARRIED the Heat at time in the boston series. Just saying.

[davethedope]

LeBron does not have a good record against Texas teams in the Finals.

[Killakobe81]

this has been the best nba season in a long time.

I wont go THAT far ...but it was very good.

[resistanze]

Incredible. Going to be a great finals.

:tu I'm actually looking forward to the 'fresh' faces for these Finals.

[Cessation]

This should be a great series.

[Pelicans78]

I can take you or leave you.

[resistanze]

Bosh looking confused as shit.

"Finals?????"

[Brazil]

this has been the best nba season in a long time.
:lol how so ?

the conference finals have been shitty

[Spurologist]

COY was doing work :lmao

[Ace]

As I said Heat in 5 :lol

[picc84]

Young teams with no experience don't win. This is an NBA given. Tried and true.

[NewJerSpur]

dream finals :lmao

Glad you road it out with me :lol. Time for my yearly hiatus when my rooting interests are knocked out. Fun ride. :toast

[Spurologist]

Christ. Somebody bomb south beach already.

:lol

Butt hurt much

[Crookshanks]

Heat had a 16-2 run to close out the game. They were just toying with the Bulls before they ripped their heart out and stomped on it!

2006 Rematch - only this time I hope the Mavs will win!

[davethedope]

I wont go THAT far ...but it was very good.

Aw, come on, this is the culmination of the decison, the offseason of free
agents, lockout looming, Lakers looking to threepeat. Lebron is going
back to the finals. Give me a better season in the past 10 years, and be objective, I know LA has won titles.

[NewJerSpur]

COY was doing work :lmao

He was pretty bad to say the least. He'll get time and weapons, but I'm not sure about Brooks in OKC.

[Ace]

:lol how so ?

the conference finals have been shitty

Because that shit team was out in the first round and the teams you hate won? It's ok to kill yourself now...:tu

[NewcastleKEG]

Boozer flagrant cost the Bulls. They got 7 free throws in 2 possessions and LeBron got every close call after that

[Cessation]

That defence will zero in on dirk. Heat in six. Do they have homecourt over the mavs?

[picc84]

Glad you road it out with me :lol. Time for my yearly hiatus when my rooting interests are knocked out. Fun ride. :toast

San Angeles Mavericks? :lol

[davethedope]

:lol how so ?

the conference finals have been shitty
They usually are. I'm just glad those fraud teams didn't get in and the favs
didn't choke. U didn't really want to see OKC vs. Bulls. And all the games
were close. As long as they were competitve but decisive, I'm fine.

[BanditHiro]

Boozer flagrant cost the Bulls. They got 7 free throws in 2 possessions and LeBron got every close call after that

lol salty about the officating...it favored the bulls tonight by a slight margin.

[resistanze]

Boozer flagrant cost the Bulls. They got 7 free throws in 2 possessions and LeBron got every close call after that
The lead was stretched again even after the flagrant :lol

They chokedPERIOD

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer flagrant cost the Bulls. They got 7 free throws in 2 possessions and LeBron got every close call after that

I never liked the Boozer signing, but then again I never liked him in Utah :lol. He rebounded better in this series because he didn't have the length to worry about but his decision-making and layup-bricking was piss poor.

[Brazil]

Because that shit team was out in the first round and the teams you hate won? It's ok to kill yourself now...:tu

stay classy miami fan

I say shitty because only 5 games and because OKC and Chicago choked badly

[NewcastleKEG]

The lead was stretched again even after the flagrant :lol

They chokedPERIOD
They got a lead above 12 after the flagrant?

Doubt that

[timtonymanu]

The Finals will be great. At least the teams making it there are deserving this time. Both teams will play hard.

Poor Kurt Thomas. Dude busted his ass today.

[NewJerSpur]

San Angeles Mavericks? :lol

It's hard for me to put the Spurs in their given the rivalry, but I'll be pulling for the Mavs to take it......I think they have a better chance than most given the competition and adversity they've faced and the way they've been clicking. :toast

[TampaDude]

The Heat trailed the whole second half and then crushed Chicago's dreams in the last 2 minutes...just as I predicted. :lol

[NewcastleKEG]

lol salty about the officating...it favored the bulls tonight by a slight margin.
Not down the stretch when it matters most

James gets every ball out call it's expected
But to see Wade get calls over Rose is LAUGHABLE

[Budkin]

MVP and Coach of the Year!!!! :lmao

[Brazil]

They usually are. I'm just glad those fraud teams didn't get in and the favs

that was not exciting conference finals but I agree the good part is the finals are going to be thrilling

[Ace]

Lol overrated Bulls
Lol overrated MVP
Lol Rose chokes again

[Pelicans78]

Not down the stretch when it matters most

James gets every ball out call it's expected
But to see Wade get calls over Rose is LAUGHABLE

Both are better than Rose. They should get the calls over him.

[Ace]

:cry

Wade & LeBron > Overrated MVP gangbanger

[timtonymanu]

:lol Rose

The only thing missing was Chalmers hitting the game winning 3.

[picc84]

It's hard for me to put the Spurs in their given the rivalry, but I'll be pulling for the Mavs to take it......I think they have a better chance than most given the competition and adversity they've faced and the way they've been clicking. :toast

Oh its hard for me, they just skullfucked my team and gave skunker a whole new forum meaning. This is a classic "lesser of two evils", like Hitler vs Stalin. But gotta go with somebody. :toast

[NewcastleKEG]

Both are better than Rose. They should get the calls over him.
Wade been the 5th best player in this series

Don't comment if you haven't watch the games

[Pelicans78]

Wade been the 5th best player in this series

Don't comment if you haven't watch the games

He may have had an off series, but he's still better than Rose. Always will be.

[NewJerSpur]

Oh its hard for me, they just skullfucked my team and gave skunker a whole new forum meaning. This is a classic "lesser of two evils", like Hitler vs Stalin. But gotta go with somebody. :toast

The good thing is, Dallas is a TOUGH opponent and if playing at their best have the potential to roll off a few straight, even on the road.

But it's a perfect storm in that the MAIN focus, no matter who wins, will be on the CBA and possible work stoppage if things don't get worked out in the offseason. Also, with Miami making the proclamaton that they should win "6-7-8 championships" with this team people are going to hold them to that standard and if they were to somehow win this first one would be an afterthought quicker than you know......they set the bar for that and many have followed them down that trail for better or for worse.

[TampaDude]

Bulls choke > Thunder choke :lol

[Ace]

Wade been the 5th best player in this series

Don't comment if you haven't watch the games

Wade and LeBron are easily better than Rose. Lol still thinking Rose is not overrated

[NewcastleKEG]

He may have had an off series, but he's still better than Rose. Always will be.
Whoa Rose as badly ruined you

Don't be mad your guy is the 3rd best at his position now

[NewcastleKEG]

Wade and LeBron are easily better than Rose. Lol still thinking Rose is not overrated
Deng is easily better than Wade

I like this game

[Brazil]

Newcastle on a butthurt cycle

[Pelicans78]

Whoa Rose as badly ruined you

Don't be mad your guy is the 3rd best at his position now

You're mad because Rose got exposed for the fraud he is. He's going fishing.

He just isn't a championship level player. Bulls defense, bench, and coaching carried him. He had a strong team around him. He just didn't get it done.

Maybe Paul can show him the fishing holes he's been hiding out at

It's funny to read you say exactly the opposite of everything Barkley n co are saying on tv

I'm in for Dallas, but either way its going to make for some entertaining stuff. I mean, Dirk and the Mavs going down to Miami AGAIN?? The Mav fan meltdown by itself would almost be worth it, but as you said, the championship proclamation is the catalyst for a lot of how people feel about the Heat. And for me its a deal-breaker.

[Pelicans78]

Maybe Paul can show him the fishing holes he's been hiding out at

Because they're wrong about Rose. He may have carried the Bulls offensively at times, but he didn't carry it well. He didn't have much of an impact on the Bulls defense or the Bulls bench dominating other teams bench.

Also, Rose isn't better than Lebron. That's why his team lost. Lebron does everything better than Rose.

[NewcastleKEG]

1) Rose was guarding Wade, remember that guy who kept struggling
2) No one debated James is the ''Best player in the NBA'' but do you truly feel if you swapped the two that the Bulls would have won the series? Or won it 4-1?
3) Bench is why this series is over in 5. Except for Game 1 and 5, the benches were equal and Heat won in Game 2 and maybe 4

Kurt Thomas was the 3rd option for the Bulls tonight.. .

Where was this down the stretch? In the fourth when Wade went off, in the clutch?

[NewcastleKEG]

:lol

The Mav fan meltdown by itself would almost be worth it, but as you said, the championship proclamation is the catalyst for a lot of how people feel about the Heat. And for me its a deal-breaker.

It pushed me over the edge though I didn't look at "the homecoming ceremony" after "the decision" for obvious reasons :lol, but a single title by the heat wouldn't be that big of a deal with what's been put out there expectation-wise so the main focus after the Finals will be the labor situation, the same way people have forgotten about the Packers despite their great story after fighting through injuries, etc. to take down the Steelers. For Dallas, the story would last a bit longer.

[Ace]

Wade was the 5th start of the series

:lol

Lol still overrating the gangbanger

[crc21209]

Those last 4 minutes were fucking awesome to watch! :tu :lol

[Jacob1983]

Isn't it possible to say the Bulls just flat out played like shit in games 2-5 and the Heat played really well in those games? Watching this series, it was like the Bulls were playing as bad as the Mavs played in 06 in games 3-6.

[monosylab1k]

lol Derrick Rose is a confirmed choker now.

Watching Chicago makes me feel better about Dallas' chances because there's no way Chandler shits the bed like Noah, there's no way our bench licks balls like Chicago's, and there's no way Dirk plays like ass the way Rose did.

[monosylab1k]

still, Miami probably wins the title.

[TampaDude]

Those last 4 minutes were fucking awesome to watch! :tu :lol

Yup...Miami played well enough to stay within striking distance, and just when the Bulls thought they had forced a Game 6, the Heat crushed their dreams. :lol
