Shaq is lookin good

[resistanze]

I honestly don't know how a jump shooting team like the Bulls will beat the Heat.

[kingsfan]

da Bulls can do it. Why the do they have Sefolosha guarding Wade though?

[kingsfan]

T on posey on the bench

[resistanze]

Wow a lame third foul on Shaq and goaltending allowed by the refs. Bulls better get those breaks if they wanna win this series.

[kingsfan]

Damn that was a bad call but I'm sure the Heat will get their share. Sefolosha's doing a good job on Wade.
Props to the rookie.

[kingsfan]

Damn Kirk wtf were you thinking? Not a smart move, he won't see much playing time this Q.

I honestly don't know how a jump shooting team like the Bulls will beat the Heat.

And what are the Heat when Wade's hurt? They aren't even a jump-shooting team. They're a nothing team.

[Amarelooms]

If there is a God the Heat will get swept....time will tell I guess and we will know the answer to this unknown

And what are the Heat when Wade's hurt? They aren't even a jump-shooting team. They're a nothing team.

Their play during Wade's absence was far from a "nothing team."

While Wade's health is crucial for this series, it's not like they Heat would win if the rest of their team was crap.

Regular season.



*edit* To elaborate, it's easy to pick up wins against EC scrubs, when 1/82 games isn't generally that big of a deal. The playoffs are so unbelievably different, the level of defense changes everything.

Bulls looking pretty good and they're definitely not playing their best. Their problem is inconsistency and they can blow leads very quickly.

[Horry For 3!]

Deng is killin tha Heat

[Texas_Ranger]

Not anymore.He's out of the game.
Deng rulz.

[resistanze]

Wade is going off.

[Horry For 3!]

Wade is just bein Wade.

[Horry For 3!]

This doesn't look good for the Bulls if they are barely up while Shaq and Wade had barely played cause of foul trouble.

[Horry For 3!]

Bulls pull it out, take game 1.

[kingsfan]

da BULLS!!! It wasn't pretty but a W is a W. I'll take it.

Hinrich had foul trouble as well. The Heat played sloppy defense. Bulls also should nil from 3 point range.

[timvp]

Fouls five on Shaq and Wade were pretty damn weak. That sixth foul on Shaq was borderline, but probably the right call.

[lefty]

I'm not sure there was a foul on Wade with 1:22 to go (2+1)

[J.T.]

I bet Stern fires another ref for unnecessary fouls on his posterboys Shaq and Wade.

[bulletedge]

Yep, Shaq was looking good...sitting on the bench watching his team lose to the Bulls. It might be the only game Chicago wins but I still enjoyed watching Miami lose this one.

[ponky]

Haha, I laughed so hard during this game. Sef-all-over-yo-ass-fo-sure was awesome against Wade and I knew when Nocioni got hurt on the other end of the court that he'd come back and get revenge. Nocioni is one of those guys who doesn't take from nobody and he plays hard and with lots of enthusiasm all the time, very impressive. Tyrus' block-block-dunk was cool too. Nice game to start off that series, wasn't a blowout, stayed a tight, close game with Wade looking to take over the last two minutes.

Of all players in NBA history, Shaq is probably the last one that has any room to argue about calls going against him.

Not saying that justifies bad calls going against him, but he probably commits 15 offensive fouls per game. They missed an obvious one today when he threw down a Bulls player during a rebound and sent him sprawling.
