Aw man, its my birthday too. Ow.

Pretty hard to believe the hype machine for LeBron has gotten stronger since 2003.

Its not so much Rose as it is the 2nd option. I have a hard time believing Deng replicates the year he just had, Boozer isn't as bad as people are making him to be but he's not that great either, Noah isn't a reliable scorer against above average competition, Korver/Brewer/Bogans/WhateveratSG has been unreliable all season. I think Gibson will be the type of player the Bulls are looking for, but it will be for another team.

Yes, I really said that. Sorry bout you dying.

If you watched this game start to finish and think LeBron in the best player in the league you're out of your mind. Half the points he gets are just gift wrapped from the officials, and this amazing LeBron defense? When you cant be called for a foul it makes it pretty easy. Bosh beat us, Wade killed us... and we lost again. This series, and all of LeBron pandering to the refs and all that BS just made it obvious he's really the 3rd best player on that team.

I'm still confident going forward. We needed to steal 1 of 2 in Miami, we still have game 4 to make that happen. They're close to figuring it out against Miami, and once they do this is our series.

The announcement of the Thrashers officially moving to Winnipeg is coming Tuesday.

Korver a disaster, cant make free throws, Rose had an off night... We go back to Miami, hopefully we can get 50% Bulls fans in their house.

... Cleveland, you are just setting yourself up for more heartbreak.

Its better this way. Usually the team that fits having the #1 overall every year gets it.

So Cleveland gets the 1st pick as consolation for LeBron, I'm OK with Stern's decision on this.

Classic Sternball Machine. It's unbelievable they make an event out of something so blatantly rigged.

You now realize that Devin Hester makes more money in a year than you will in your entire life. imokwiththis.jpg

Or you do get lucky, find a LeBron in the draft, and he leaves.

It is already on Youtube, go ahead and watch it 15 times like I just did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJhPRG4cTzk...eature=youtu.be

That's exactly what I'm saying. If the Bulls win it, he becomes what LeBron has been for the past 5 years.

Derrick Rose winning the MVP at 22 and the NBA Championship in the same year is infinitely more electrifying than beating the Heat. Honestly, if he pulls it off we find ourselves with a guy who can start entering "the" conversation. Key is: Bulls gotta get it done first.

I know where to find streams of these games, if its kosher I'll post the links on ST before tip-off.

We've been waiting for this series for more than a couple months now. Please Bulls, f*** these guys up.

This is my worry. I'd really like if the Bulls could use their bench to just sub people out to make LeBron and Wade's life on the perimeter miserable, but at small forward we only really have Deng. I mean, the guy is fantastic on transition D and luckily he's this team's iron man, but keeping fresh legs on LeBron and Wade all game long feels a lot better than relying on Deng to play 45 minutes a game.

Mags, I really think the Horford-Noah matchup is tough for us. Those two guys have a ton of familiarity with each other's games from UF and it takes away from Noah's effectiveness.

Ronnie Brewer played pretty well too, lest we forget about him.

The Milwaukee Brewers would get a new fan. It would feel stupid though, and I wouldn't care nearly as much as I do about the White Sox.

I almost am starting to feel like the Heat are a better matchup for the Bulls than Indiana or even horrible Atlanta.
