[salsadancer7]

0-4 against Chicago all season.
One team has a bench
One team has outstanding defense
One team has more than 3 starters
One team is full of energy and not a bunch of 40 year old zombies

NEED I SAY MORE?

7 game series...

how can you expect to get any better in the offensive boards category when you have Ilgauskus inactive and Joel Anthony starting? Newsflash, but Chicago has lived on rebounds all season long.

Game of adjust.

Game of adjust.

you can't adjust when you don't have the players to do so. its like trying to get the Knicks to play defense with their coach and current cast.

Lol... Thank you Phil Jackson... Wait till the series is over. At the moment, your blowing your wits prematurely.... ;-)

the Heat celebrated prematurely, so it is fair game

Oh GOD..... And I suppose if the media told you the reason the Lakers lost to Dallas was because Kobe's wife and Pau's girlfriend were not getting along was the reason they lost.... You would believe that too... Lol!

what? i saw the celebration after beating the Heat, and I saw the parade when LeBron was signed. You're just grasping at straws now, like you usually do when you know you've lost an argument. I can tell you the reason LA lost to Dallas was because they were outplayed. I can't tell you exactly why the performance was subpar of what they normally play up to though.

Probably less than 7. I'd say 5 or 6.

What celebration after the Celtics win was this? Did you see Lebron jump in the air screaming at the top of his lungs? Did you see him chest bump his teammates? Did he jump on the scores table basking in adulation of the Heat fans? Nope, he drop to one knee for a brief second, turn around and look for his teammates to also congratuate them.

And WHAT parade are you talking about? They had this introduction of the 3 free agents they signed for the HEAT fans after a giant free agent coup. Just like they did when they traded for Shaq, introducing him by backing him up in an diesel 18 wheeler.

MIAMI — The welcome for Shaquille O'Neal on Tuesday resembled a scene usually reserved only for returning war heroes, presidents or even the pope. Thousands of adoring fans lined the entrance and greeted his every step with cheers and showers of confetti.

But being that it was O'Neal marching through downtown Miami, the moment necessitated something bigger than life and filled with levity. So when O'Neal squeezed his 7-1, 340-pound frame out of the 18-wheeler that brought him down Biscayne Boulevard, he proceeded to playfully squirt sun-scorched fans with a water gun.

It's one game. We have a long way to go before things get decided.

Jesus christ....keep the sharp objects away. Its game one.

i understand that but a loss is a loss no matter how you put it. the heat need to get away from that small lineup they decided to go with last night. wade and lebron were shutdown. do i think they'll be able to shut those two down every game?? no. do we need the bench to step it up some? yes. you can't have the big 3 out there for most of the game just running out of gas because of too many minutes.

agreed. i'm not gonna go crazy but i won't ignore a loss either and why it happened. besides i'm not panicking. i can't forget i did say when the season started that miami wouldn't get passed the conference finals. i do think miami can win the series but i can't run away from what i said months ago either even if i end up being wrong. i hope i was wrong

Bulls vs. Heat....

PG.... Rose...VS... Bibby....HUGE advantage BULLS

SG.... Bogans... VS ... Wade...HUGE advantage HEAT

SF.... Dang... VS...James... HUGE advantage HEAT

PF.... Boozer... VS ... Bosh .... EVEN to Slight advantage HEAT(Bosh has better offense, younger and has had big moments in the Celtics series..Boozer better rebound but did not have a decent game till the deciding game)

C .... Noah... VS.... Anthony .... Slight Edge to Bulls(Noah has better offense)

BENCH: Bulls... Corver, Brewer and Gibson. Heat... Miller, Chalmers, Jones and Haslem. EVEN. The key will be the shooting of Jones and Chalmers who can be streaky. Bulls tend to be a little more steady but they have no one that can explode for alot points like a James Jones can(case in point, game one for Jones and Chalmers for game two)

INTANGLABLES: Bulls have homecourt advantage. BOTH teams have been able to win on the road. Bulls swept the series, but going back to the Celtics vs. Heat regular season, it means nothing. But one things for sure, at any given time, Miami will have 2 of the top 5 players in the league wearing the same uniform, that is to obvious to ignore. EVEN

COACHING: EVEN to slight edge to Heat ONLY because Spolestra has coached in the playoffs(last year) and Tom Thibodeau is his 1st time around.

This is gonna be such a great series. I think Miami will win in 7. Expect 1 blowout by each team and a bunch of real tight games. I can't wait!

SCOREBOARD: HUGE advantage BULLS!

Well said. It is just one game, but what a game.

I hope they can keep it up.

The Super Friends were exposed last night! Perhaps this is just one of those bad matchups for the Heat? Tough, physical brand of play, aggressive rebounders, suffocating defense and a deep bench just may be just the elixir to trump the chumps!

Oh, and Wade? He got posterized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HD MM]

Spoelstra "surrenders!"

"You have to give credit where credit is due," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said in assessing the damage the Bulls inflicted on Sunday night. "They did what they normally do. We took it on the chin ... virtually in all the effort areas. We got away from things we normally do. We went a little sideways from a lot of those effort battles that we surrendered."

-Eric Spoelstra

SUERRENDER?! AFTER ONE GAME!!!!!!!! As The Dancing Floridian would say, "JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH"!!!!!!!!!

Time for coach to prove his worth. No pressure....

And one team has Lebron James AND Dwyane Wade. That has not changed.
