sorry heat fan but chicago is gonna win this series. that is not to say that they wont win this game. they could win two but i dont see any more than that.

Deng is the Mvp of the playoffs so far.

[Carrot Top]

Please put someone else on deng.

[Carrot Top]

finally posey in

Wallace flops again

Poor guy. You didn't get the benefit of most of Shaq's years where he could literally elbow a player in the face to get clearance for his 2 foot shot (the only shot he can make consistently) and now you have to deal with the fact that your second best player is a lumbering oaf.

Gee, here, let me pity you, Shaq, and the 50 offensive fouls per game he gets away with. If every foul was called he'd be out with 6 fouls in the first quarter of every game.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

And just like that the great bulls jump shooting team is MIA.

Right! :rolleyes They will likely win Game 3 because even old decrepit players play well at home but there is no way they are winning 4 in a row. The Bulls steal Game 4 and they will be happy with a split going back home.

I've never heard him referred to as a great player before. I think he's a solid guard that is good on both ends of the floor. I never thought he'd be that good in the NBA but he's definitely become a good player (not great).

I've been behind the Bulls and have predicted them to win this series, especially given that D-Wade has that shoulder problem and the way the Bulls played the first two games. But I must say that I wouldn't be too shocked to see Miami win this series in 7. When that team is motivated, they're really good. Maybe if Deng cools down and D-Wade begins to dominate...it could happen.

Yeah only one problem they still have to go back to Chicago. If the Bulls go back home with a split they will be happy with that. Plus all those shots they are missing tonight they won't miss those in Chicago.

True but the odds of the Heat coming back all the way from 0-2 to win a series are against them. Yes I know they did it last year against the Mavs but this is not a healthy Heat team and quite frankly the Heat this year has been a bad team.

True but the odds of the Heat coming back all the way from 0-2 to win a series are against them. Yes I know they did it last year against the Mavs but this is not a healthy Heat team and quite frankly the Heat this year has been a bad team.And Toronto has been a good team, and the #3 seed (is this correct?), yet face a defecit, although being favored before the series.

Just because Miami didn't have as good of a record doesn't mean shit. The playoffs is where teams dig deep and turn it around. D-Wade, when motivated, can beat just about any team singlehandedly. The addition of Eddie Jones, and with guys like Posey, Shaq, Mourning...that team has experience, and always will be a threat in the playoffs as long as they're together.

I'm not saying it's likely, all I'm saying is I wouldn't be shocked at all if they came back.

[ALVAREZ6]

Call me a homer, Nocioni is a player that anyone would want on their team.

[E20]

The Heat suck. Shaq is too old and not even close to last year -- everybody is making layups over him and he's getting blocked by 6'8" people. Wade is too hurt and the rest of the team just sucks.

The Heat has that already because of the Finals officiating. :lol

[nobodi_home]

Congratulations Chicago. Nice to see a team of young and dedicated guys play decent ball, without $30,000,000 bucks being paid to one player (a la Jordan). Would be great to see Chicago and San Antonio in the Finals. Considering how Miami beat up on Chicago last year, I'm glad to see the Chicago boys have their day. Sunday should be interesting as Miami will try to save face. Let's hope the refs call a tight game so there are no dirty tricks to try and injure Chicago's players. Boo hoo hoo Miami.

Bulls 96, Heat 91
April 21, 2007

SHAQ is Mad at ref Eddie F. Rush

CHICAGO (AP) -Shaquille O'Neal's words were sharp and pointed and aimed straight at his target, like those passes he whips to cutters when he is double-teamed.

His target this time was referee Eddie F. Rush.

"My intention was to come out and be myself, until Eddie Rush derailed me," O'Neal said after fouling out.

Chicago's Luol Deng also played a big part in knocking defending champion Miami off track. So did Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni.

Deng scored 33 points, Gordon and Nocioni each hit two free throws in the final 19 seconds, and the Chicago Bulls held off the Heat 96-91 Saturday in Game 1 of their opening-round rematch.

"This game was really big," Deng said. "Now that we have the lead, most of the time the team that loses has to adjust. We did a lot of things today that worked for us."

The Heat trailed 92-91 after Dwyane Wade found Udonis Haslem for a layup with 38 seconds left, but Gordon hit two foul shots with 18 seconds remaining. After a timeout, Wade missed a 3-pointer and Nocioni hit two more free throws with 9.8 seconds left for the final score.

SHAQ is Mad at ref Eddie F. Rush

CHICAGO (AP) -Shaquille O'Neal's words were sharp and pointed and aimed straight at his target, like those passes he whips to cutters when he is double-teamed.

His target this time was referee Eddie F. Rush.

"My intention was to come out and be myself, until Eddie Rush derailed me," O'Neal said after fouling out.

Chicago's Luol Deng also played a big part in knocking defending champion Miami off track. So did Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni.

Deng scored 33 points, Gordon and Nocioni each hit two free throws in the final 19 seconds, and the Chicago Bulls held off the Heat 96-91 Saturday in Game 1 of their opening-round rematch.

"This game was really big," Deng said. "Now that we have the lead, most of the time the team that loses has to adjust. We did a lot of things today that worked for us."

The Heat trailed 92-91 after Dwyane Wade found Udonis Haslem for a layup with 38 seconds left, but Gordon hit two foul shots with 18 seconds remaining. After a timeout, Wade missed a 3-pointer and Nocioni hit two more free throws with 9.8 seconds left for the final score.

Well Rush was not there to derail him tonight.

I Still have faith the Disel and Wade wont go out like this.

hmmm, looks like Miami will exit in the first round like the Spurs did in 2000 after winning the championship. does this mean both teams will now have that infamous * attached to that partic championship?except Duncan was injured and Miami is intact. And ShaQ's famous toes are okay.

except Duncan was injured and Miami is intact. And ShaQ's famous toes are okay.

Wade has a injured sholder Miami is far from 100%.

so are you saying this is worse for the Heat?

[judaspriestess]

Got no choice now.

Miami is about the be the first defending champ to go out in the first round since Philly in '84.

Spurs went out in 2000, I do feel this is far more embarrassing for the Heat as they are intact and the Spurs did not have Duncan.

You guy are acting like the heat are 100% if Wade wasnt injured this would be a completly diffrent series.

You guy are acting like the heat are 100% if Wade wasnt injured this would be a completly diffrent series.

unfortunately its a case of coulda, shoulda, woulda but thats not the reality. The Heat are done. Same case can be made for the Spurs in 2000, if we would have had Duncan playing it would have been a completely different series too............

but it wasn't :depressed
