Where did that poster go that kept going on and on about how you're never as good as you look when you win, and you're never as bad as you look when you lose?

My hope is that Coach Spo will stop trying to over coach. I'm still not understanding how you go 0-2 VS Chicago in the regular season (throw out the game without LeBron) and lose by minimal points, but you make wholesale changes to the roster before Game 1?
Who's he trying to impress?
I'm sure Riley had to OK it, and it may have even been his idea to begin with. At halftime, Rose admitted that the Heat going small, did surprise the Bulls. You see how they fared in the 2nd half after making adjustments. I wonder what Pat has worked out for tonight. I'm hoping for the bigger slower Heat, or sending LBJ and Wade to help crash the boards, which will then limit them from getting out on the break and running. EITHER way, it's good for Chicago.

I'm excited for tonight's game and I just hope Coach Spo doesn't try to over coach again.
It should be good.

Very true. Any knowledgeable capper knows that old adage.

I never thought I’d feel sorry for Chicago Bulls fans.
In the 90’s, the Chicago Bulls had it all. I, like most of you, cheered on Michael Jordan during his quest to solidify his legacy as the best ever. I only have faint memories of the early three-peat since I was far too young to remember things clearly. I'll never forget the jump shot over Byron Russell to clinch the 6th NBA Championship in eight years for the Bulls.
I used to sing, "Be Like Mike"---the Gatorade anthem. I adored these guys.
The Bulls slayed Magic, Clyde, Barkley, Kemp, Malone and Stockton. However, in all of their success, a curse was brewing.
Jerry Krause, Chicago Bulls General Manager at that time, had a budding feud with Phil Jackson that ultimately ended the Chicago Bulls reign at the top of the NBA. It was reported in Playing for Keeps that Krause specifically told Jackson, "I don't care if it's 82-and-0 this year, you're fucking gone.”
With Jackson’s departure imminent, the Bulls knew they’d also lose Jordan. Jerry Krause didn’t flinch.
The Curse of Krause was born.
When Jordan’s Bulls were destroyed by management in 1998, I was so devastated that I made an art project dedicated to the Curse of Krause. It was the Chicago Bulls logo with “CURSED” written over the top of it. Well, it actually said “MALDITO” because I was in Spanish immersion, but you get the point.
You’re probably rolling your eyes right now, especially if you’re a Bulls fan.
Dig a little deeper though, and you’ll feel the impact of the Krause Curse.
-The Chicago Bulls failed to acquire Dwyane Wade or LeBron James during the 2010 Superstar Sweepstakes. Instead, they ended up with Carlos Boozer.
-"You can't have midgets running your backcourt.” Scottie Pippen’s assessment of the Chicago Bulls with Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordon in 2008. Humor me: Kirk Hinrich 6’4”, Ben Gordon 6’4”, and Derrick Rose 6’3”. Hmmm.
-Derrick Rose is a choke artist. SEE: Derrick Rose can’t make a clutch free throw during Memphis’ collapse to Kansas in 2008 NCAA Final. Also related: They seriously blew a 9-point lead in 2 minutes? Also related: You’ve got to be kidding me, seriously, a 9-point lead in 2 minutes?
-Joakim Noah’s hair.
I could go on and on.
So, before you get too excited for the Chicago Bulls blowout win over the Miami Heat as the Series clincher, please brace yourself for the Krause Curse.
The Miami Heat typically struggle on 3+ days of rest, right?

All the threads about the refs giving the Heat the game. Jesus.
