What a great night. Hawks win. Bulls beat Heat. And Bosh sucks!!

Luol Deng has now become Luol Damn.

Also going back to a fun argument from this summer, Deng>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hinrich

Bosh is 1 for 18.

 

Probably his worst shooting night in his entire career I'd say.

Bosh 1 for 18, bench 1 for 8, and lose by 4 in Chicago. Heat have to feel pretty good.

awesome game, and Bulls are only going to get better when Noah gets back to 100% game shape, he looked winded at times.

Watson 0-3

Bogans 0-4

Gibson 2-6

Korver 2-7

 

Bulls didn't shoot well either. They should feel pretty good.

The Bulls shot pretty badly, especially from 3. If I were a Heat fan Id be pretty worried about the +14 rebound advantage the Bulls had.

 

There is pretty good reason to believe that the Bulls and Heat will both shoot better next game, but not much to believe that the Heat will get a lot better on the boards.

And Joakim is a +/- -20. How often will that happen?

 

I'll take the win.

Wow, did L Deng ever play with some balls!

Arguably the two best defensive teams in the NBA, it's not a shock that both teams shot bad.

 

Is anyone else yet convinced that this Bulls team is legit? Bueller?

1 rebound from Joel Anthony in 17 mins ain't going to get it done.

 

Credit to Asik on that regard tonight.

 

No Mike Miller for Miami also tonight, although he hasn't really made that much of an impact either.

This shows that Miami >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bulls at least right now. Rose has been nullfied and Deng is garbage against Lebron, 2 points?

Laughs out loud.

eh, they lost the game, they're something like 1-7 against the other top teams in the East... every game you can make a reason like that, fact is they're not beating other elite eastern teams. Also, yeah, he was 1 for 18, but Spolestra (sp?) should have started playing a little offense/defense rotation with him instead of leaving him in there to clank shots, that's also shows poor coaching. To top it off, they gave some crazy stat on the TV broadcast that nobody but LeBron or Wade scored for over 2 quarters, it's not a deep team and as constructed their margin for error is too thin to win a championship.

f*** yea. Deng stuck it up the Heat's ass in the 2nd half. 99, how do you feel about the Bulls matching up with the Heat in the playoffs after tonight?

Yeah. Ok. Whatever.

Miami's lack of inside presence is going to be their downfall. Every team is going to shoot bad, but if you can win on the glass get second chance points you can overcome a crappy offensive night.

 

Bulls had 13 offensive rebounds to the Heats 6. Thats 7 more times the Bulls got a second chance and in a 4 point game, 7 extra possessions is an incredible advantage.

It will be a hell of series. But homecourt could be tough to overcome.

If the Bulls can stop having let downs at teams like Toronto there is no reason they cant get the 2 seed or better.

I still think the Heat would win in 6 but honestly at this point it wouldn't shock me if the Bulls push it to 7 so getting home court will be huge.

That might be the deciding factor. We're only 2 games back of them with 1 left and we already got the tie breaker so it's certainly not out of the question that we can over take them in the standings.

What would it take for you to believe the Bulls could take a playoff series against Miami? A blowout win in the final regular season match up?

Homecourt is clearly the key to me. The Bulls are a much different team when feeding off the United Center crowd. One thing that is potentially nice is that Miami even though it's a homecourt, they aren't nearly as passionate as Bulls, Celtic, Magic, etc. fans.
