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

[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!!!!

[Brazil]

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 compe ve but decisive, I'm fine.

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

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

Wade & LeBron > Overrated MVP gangbanger

Rose

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

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 compe ion and adversity they've faced and the way they've been clicking.

Oh its hard for me, they just skull ed 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.

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.

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.

Bulls choke > Thunder choke

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

Whoa Rose as badly ruined you

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

[NewcastleKEG]

Deng is easily better than Wade

I like this game

[Brazil]

Newcastle on a butthurt cycle

[Pelicans78]

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.

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.

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?

It pushed me over the edge though I didn't look at "the homecoming ceremony" after "the decision" for obvious reasons , but a single le 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.

Lol still overrating the gangbanger
