QUOTE (bmags @ May 11, 2011 -> 10:54 AM) I don't understand what you are saying. Noah was on bosh. I think the heat will be difficult as all hell, that said i think we play a lot better when we rely on out-energy-ing the other team, like we have to vs. great teams. Bosh will see multiple defenders. I get that. But Boozer more than likely will see the most time vs him when he's on the court. Noah has the propensity to get into foul trouble. I believe he was 5th or 6th in the league in personal fouls per game.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 11, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Whatever other big man is on the court with Boozer is most likely going to take Bosh a majority of the time so as good of a player as he is, he's really not creating a matchup problem against anyone. And the Bulls have dealt with the 2 guard issues all season, it doesn't matter if we're facing the Heat or the Cavs, everyone knows the off guard is the weak link on the this team But we didn't play the Heat 82 times. Chances our if we did we don't win 62 games. I'm talking a best of 7 conference finals. Forget about the regular season. I know we went 3-0 against them. Great. But this will be BY FAR the Bulls' biggest challenge. I'm 50-50. The Bulls fans in me wants to say Bulls in 7. The NBA fan in me thinks that 9 times out of 10 star power wins out. So we shall see. I'm lookin' forward to it.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 11, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) I'll take my chances with a Thibs led team over a Spoelstra one. And that's fine. I'm not saying the Bulls can't win. But Duke said the Heat might be a better matchup than the Pacers and Hawks. Are you serious? GMAB.

I don't even care if Peavy gets torched tonight. If he can go 5-6 innings without any major pain, I'll be satisfied.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 11, 2011 -> 10:28 AM) yes. This is what happens. Which is good and bad. Taj is a much better defender than Boozer. But he's a much lesser threat to score the ball. This is what I mean by the matchup problems the Heat create. You have a similar problem at the 2-guard. You got one guy who's a great shooter and bad defender. Another guy who's a good defender and not much of a scorer. This obviously hasn't been an issue to this point. But it more than likely will be next series.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 11, 2011 -> 10:10 AM) Dude, no I don't. Your point was that he'll "clown Boozer", when the Bulls d'd him up quite well and clearly didn't let Boozer cover him. My point was that your point was invalid due to Boozer's defense on Bosh not mattering. I'll take the 2008/2009/2010 playoffs vs the Lakers over your 3-game regular season rebuttal. Quickness and length has always bothered Boozer.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 11, 2011 -> 10:02 AM) Yeah, and he clearly clowned Boozer over the course of 3 games during the regular season this year to the tune of 34% shooting, averaging 15 points, 6 boards, and a block. Do you really believe that 1/18 game was Boozer's D? 3 games scattered over the course of a 6 month regular season is not the same as a 7-game series. Boozer on Bosh is a bad matchup. Taj is definitely going to have to get some more run.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ May 11, 2011 -> 12:59 AM) I almost am starting to feel like the Heat are a better matchup for the Bulls than Indiana or even horrible Atlanta. lol. Um, I don't think so. The Heat will present more difficult obstacles than the Pacers/Hawks combined. Their athleticism at the 2, 3 and 4 is unparalleled. Bosh is exactly the type of PF that's clowned Boozer in the past. For the first time, Rose will not be the unquestioned best player on the court. s***, he might not even be the second best player on the court.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2011 -> 09:36 AM) Viciedo becomes the starter in LF and Ramirez/Beckham/Teahen/Vizquel all lead off until one keeps the position, I'd imagine. Not unlike 2008/2009. Do it. I've had enough of JP to last a lifetime. He's dead last in WAR among all every day left fielders. Throw in the caught stealings/pickoffs and there's nowhere to go but up.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 10, 2011 -> 11:10 PM) I watch with the hope that I see viciedo in lf and Pierre on waivers. But then I forget our manager values speedy crappy hitters over offense. The I get sad. We're pretty much stuck with JP until the end of the year. He can hit .150 and he'll still get his ABs. Pretty terrible.

This game is boring as s***. I didn't watch the two games prior and they won.

lol. this thread is complete. Irish has arrived.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2011 -> 10:52 PM) Who hangs up first? Sox get Reyes, Wright and Beltran Mets get Alexei, Morel, Viciedo, Flowers, Floyd, Sale I kid. They can keep Beltran. I'd give up the franchise for Reyes and Wright.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2011 -> 10:48 PM) 6 I've never seen anything like this. How can one's player development be so inept?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2011 -> 10:46 PM) What the f*** was that, Morel? 5 errors on May 10th.

Hey, DA, Cargo heard you. He just homered.

Mileage, I still hate you. Ordorizzi went nuts tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2011 -> 10:33 PM) I meant Danks, not Montero Jake Odorizzi struck out 13 in 6 innings tonight. I'm so f***ing scared of the Royals.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) Thing is, he needs to start picking it up to make sure his trade value stays high. True. But I believe in that bat. He'll catch fire soon. And then you've got Dellin Betances having no problems at AA so far. I want both for Danks.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2011 -> 10:19 PM) Yankees, please make us a great deal I been tracking Montero all year. I'm obsessed.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) Young guy, has a solid fastball (93mph) and a Marmolian slider. He learned the hard way last week not to throw a fastball to Mike Stanton. However, he might be Cardinals closer of future and at very least, a sick righty set-up man. I hate that damn organization. They always find a way. Whether it be Sanchez or Garcia or Berkman going 2004 on everyone.

Hey, Fathom, who's this Eduardo Sanchez of the Cardinals? He's kinda nasty. I've never seen him pitch before.

Dunn is starting to piss me off.

I was watching the Bulls game. Did Danks really give up a HR to Maicer Izturis? Explain this somebody.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 10, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) indefensible. he's been so consistent all year Everybody should know how much of a Luol hater I was prior to this year. He's been spectacular all year.
