Haslem has been key in this game so far.

Rose is incredibly off today.

Make some damn shots...

Peavy...wow.

Too many offensive boards by Miami. Take Boozer out of there.

Horrible 3 point shooting.

Oh hey there 07 Jake Peavy.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 18, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) It's not necessarily that they don't want the Bulls in the finals. It's that they want this series to be a long one. Stern and the NBA want max revenue and max ratings. In their eyes, the Bulls and Heat are probably equals in terms of ratings (Miami has more star flare, Chicago much bigger market), so in order to get the most out of it, have the series go 7.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 18, 2011 -> 08:48 PM) I think there is probably a good amount of people in the NBA who want the Bulls over the Heat. The Bulls just need to play better. Pretty much. The defense fell apart in the second quarter. Offensive rebounding wasn't there either.

Peavy with an absolutely awesome start so far.

Bulls need to shoot better in the second half. They're not longer dominating the offensive boards like they were earlier in the game. LeBron and Wade are actually playing well today. It's gonna be a battle for the Bulls in the second half to pull this one out.

Wade and LeBron finally came to play.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ May 18, 2011 -> 08:38 PM) Heat 14 fouls to the Bulls 13 fouls, clearly a fix is in. Ok the refs evened it up at 14, the fix is off. It's not the overall amount of fouls called, it's how obvious they made it in the start of the second to start calling extremely ticky-tack fouls.

Bulls are no longer out-rebounding the Heat like crazy. Haslem being in there helped them a lot.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 18, 2011 -> 08:26 PM) A hit-and-run with a runner on 1st isn't a bad idea because the runner could be safe at 2B is contact isn't made. Hit-and-run with a runner on 2nd puts a LOT of pressure on the hitter, because the runner is a lot more likely to be thrown out going to 3B if no contact is made. It was bad. It didn't make sense. Too great of a risk for the reward.

Korver finally makes a three. HOT SAUCE!

Rose needs to get it together.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 18, 2011 -> 08:12 PM) The only reason tehy called a foul on Miami there was that Watson hopped 3 times and they had to call something. That was pretty funny. Where did Bosh and Wade go?

LOU WALDING!

Some real questionable/ticky-tack fouls on Rose.

Bulls can't possibly shoot any worse than this.

Wow, the Bulls are killing them even more on the boards this game.

Did Pierre just do something productive with the bat?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 18, 2011 -> 07:11 PM) I know I was right every single time that Ozzie started Kotsay over Andruw Jones. To be fair, Andruw was very very streaky. When he was good, he was really good. When he was bad, my god he was bad. I remember numerous times last year where just about everybody wanted Jones released.

Peavy topping out at 94 so far.
