SJP keep doing your thing. BOL with your picks.

I like the Heat in game 2. Lebron and Wade will show up and show out IMO.

I really believe the Heat thought coming together and "winning Championships" would be easy.  Wade has showed in the past that he won't quit and will be up to the challenge, but can he get Lebron and Bosh to do the same? Lebron basically quitting on his team when he realized they had no chance to beat the Celtics, is something that should be fresh in most people's minds.  And has Bosh ever won a playoff round??


The Heat need to learn how to defensive team rebound. It depends which side you're on as to how glooming that task may seem.

I know it looked bad in Game 1, but that's really what it boils down to in this series. Right?

The Bulls are the best rebounding team in the NBA, and the Coach Spo going small was just stupid. He's trying to be more involved than he needs to be.

I made a post that Gibson was better than Boozer when the playoffs began.

I don't like Boozer's game at all.

LeBron quit on the Cavs after he found out Delonte West was sleeping with his mom. LOL!

I hope no one from Miami is doing the same thing!

(Side note: I really hope the rumor about Shannon Brown sleeping with Pau Gasol's fiance isn't true. I totally feel for Pau if that's the case and feel bad for making so many Ga-Soft jokes.)

Shannon Brown is married to R&B singer Monica. I don't think he'd trade good slow jam songs with someone who doesn't speak English

Interesting stuff I just saw on Sportsnation---unrelated to Heat/Bulls, but worth noting.

When a team is coming off a sweep (Dallas) and playing a team that has been extended to seven games in their previous series (Oklahoma City), the team which swept their previous opponent has won the series 9 out of 12 times.

I don't know how much you play into historical trends, but that's pretty good.

I don't feel sorry for any of these guys because most of them think they walk on water. That means they have access to sleazy women, prostitutes, or they are accused of sexual assault/gang rapes. Look it's not just in America either. It's the complex that comes with being in the spotlight. Let's face it it's not like many of these people come from ideal family situations growing up and the entire sporting arena is not always filled with the classiest of people.

I'll be back to congratulate you if the Bulls win the Series and I hope you'll do the same if the Heat win it.

I haven't had time to go through response by response, but I'll try and do that later today.

Good luck tonight if you decide to play Dallas/Oklahoma City.


  yeah, everybody loved it!!  like all your nonsense.

SJP is supposedly a college student in Oregon...hasn't mentioned anything about a Masters program or anything like that...so I'll give 22 years at most, possibly 23.

Born in 1988 more than likely. 

Age 3-5 for the first Bulls run...age 8-10 for the second Bulls run.  From Oregon.  Where I would assume there are a lot of Sonics fans around...during the Kemp/Payton era. 

The "Be Like Mike" advertising campaign was started in 1991.  3-4 year old girl singing Be Like Mike?

I agree, but will the Heat get bigger and longer in 3 days?  I know they could put in the bigger line-up, but then your trading off for speed and quickness. Just think that it comes down to how well the Heat can force turnovers and get easy fastbreak buckets (only one in 2nd half last game) and also as you stated, limiting the offensive rebounds.  Bulls did a great job of limiting the Heat getting to the FT line as well, and need not bail them out when they drive to the basket.  Obviously all 3 of these phases worked out well for Chicago in Game 1, I don't see that happening in game 2 and SHOULD be a tight game.

@IlliniBill

If the Bulls control the boards and shoot the 3 the way they did in Game 1, the Heat have no chance in this Series.

I really think Chicago played their most complete game of the playoffs and Miami played their worst game. That's just my opinion.

If Chicago comes out and replicates the performance of Game 1, in Game 2, then it's uh oh time for Miami.

The thing is they dont even have to replicate game 1 to win.I mean the last game of the regular season the big 3 scored 69 and they couldnt win.The rebounds are huge

I am intimidated by the size of the Bulls front line, but rebounding is rebounding. Box out.

If you can hold the Bulls to 1 shot, they are not a great offensive team. It's a big IF, in this series.

The reason I don't think the Bulls can win the championship is because I feel like Dallas does a great job on the boards, and have so many match-up problems for Chicago. Oklahoma City is the same.

And, obviously, it's tough to win the championship if you're not there. :)

Seriously though.

Let's make a wager! This is a sports betting forum after all, right? Not for money because, well, I don't think anyone would actually pay.

Since the odds are relatively EVEN for the Series, if you like Miami to win, post it in this thread. If you like Chicago to win, post it in this thread. You have until Wednesday Night @ 8 Eastern/5 Pacific to post.

If Miami wins, Chicago backers can only post in the Penalty Box and no other forum for 1 week.

Sounds fair.

Actually the Bulls are better rebounding team than Dallas but not Okla.Tibbs though will figure out the matchups if it comes to that but first things first.In the regular season the Bulls went 2-0 and out rebounded by a ton and only allowed 77and 83 pts.The Bulls D will shuts them down
