ECF Game 1: Bulls vs. Heat

[LkrFan]

LeHype gazing into the crowd and thinking what should have been: "I knew I should have taken my talents to Chi-town. this man"

D-Whistle: "Man, I ain't without FTAs."

Spoelstra clapping - trying to pump up his "superstar": "Quit crying, ."

[LkrFan]

LeHype: "I hope my fans aren't witnessing this (sniff sniff sob).."



Maglore: "Get on AIM dawg!!"

When the Heat win, will you do the honorable thing and end yourself?

Bulls are 10 deep and all play decent or better.

Heat are 2 1/2 deep and everyone else is YMCA caliber

this was the easiest series to call in the entire playoffs. Actually probably easiest series to call since Mavs/Warriors round 1.

Bulls will win in 5 or 6

Good grief. Lebron and Wade played poorly, but Bosh played like a man possessed. The Bulls are a more balanced and complete team. If the Heat don't get a balanced scoring attack from players not named Bosh, Baby James and Wade, they aren't winning the series.

The Bulls are just much deeper and they are the better defensive team. It will be pretty difficult for the Heat to overcome that. Like Spoelstra said isolations won't work against the Bulls defense.

bulls ran plays

heat do not run plays

no true point guard

Rose winning with this Bulls team would make Lebron look like a joke. He basically has the same roster the Cavs had the last 2 years, comes out and doesn't choke or make excuses. Just wins

might take james 3 years to get by this bulls team it took him that long to get by boston

No surprises here. Lebron choking in the playoffs, no supporting cast, not enough help. another loss.

There's nothing Miami can really do. What are they gonna do, grow taller by
game 2? Miami is a crap shoot, have been all year, not consistent. And Rose didn't
even do anything. Bench is not going to get better and unless they stop with
the spread offense bull , they have no chance, save Wade and LeBron going
Jordan every other game.

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

In Miami their secondary players will shoot better and there will be phantom fouls BUT I think Game 2 is a must win for Miami. If you haven't beaten a team in 4 matchups already, you can't think a mentally fragile team like Miami is gonna roll off 4 outta 5.

Everyone expects James to improve but the Bulls have 3 legit defenders to throw at him; Deng, Brewer and Gibson

Wade is the only legit defender on Rose and that hurts them on offense in a 4 quarter game. It's just a TERRIBLE matchup for the Heat. At some point maybe the Bulls are just that good....it's a new team we have no idea what their ceiling is

Oh boy where do I start

- James should have drove to the lane more often I give you that but other than that how did they play poorly? Wade got swatted everytime he drove. Looks like some people are finally realizing how good defenders Deng & Bogans are

- ''Energy'' isn't the issue on the boards. Going into the series I stated I rather have Noah, Boozer & Gibson than any of the Heat bigs. And while I might have been wrong about Boozer, Asik makes up for that. The Bulls have 4 legit bigs. On top of that like Barkley stated the Heat will have to go even smaller the rest of the series. They were expected to get beaten on the boards and it will be worse than predicted IMO

- So the Heat's hope is for a guy whose been injured the whole season to save them (Haslem)? Not looking good

- Unless LBJ & Wade morph into early 90's MJ....this series is over.
