If it is the Mavs vs Heat again, I bet Wade doesn't avg that despicable 20 FTs per game like he did in those 2006 Finals, it'll be Bron who shoots those this time.

Since my last few predictions haven't turned out well: Heat by 7

I really don't know why but I got a good feeling about tonight's game.

I don't, really. Last game a lot of things on paper were okay: james + wade in check, boozer scored, bogans with +6 pts, and we weren't even close to winning the game. We won't be able to overcome the heat if they get to the line 30+ times, and they weren't even driving and were getting that many calls. I don't think the bulls can overcome that.

I want to see some pretty big adjustments on offense tonight as well as a push for a more uptempo game.

bmaggs, Bosh and his 34 pts had a lot to do why the Bulls didn't win gm 4...I expect a much better effort defensively against him tonight.

 

Maybe the Heat are due for a bit of a letdown?

If you are posting from the future, I hate you and the result.

MVP Derrick better be back tonight.

Steve, it's called parallel universe...

Here's a guy who I think could be the perfect fit for the Bulls in the draft.

Unfortunately, he probably won't slip to the Bulls pick even if they package both first-round picks to move up. Ironically, Klay Thompson is Trayce's brother. Klay would be the perfect 2-guard for the Bulls.

I do to for some reason. Mainly because I don't think the Bulls could shoot much worse than the last two games. I think they're due for a good shooting night. Rose basically came out and said he thinks they're going to scrap the pick and roll so he's not double teamed all night. Hopefully we'll see beastmode Rose. My fear with that is if he continues shooting 30 something percent. If he's on, prepare for a 40 pt night. If he's off, it could be a quick game that Miami leads by double digits most of the way.

Ya, I brought him up a while ago, he'd be ideal. Like you said though, not falling to the Bulls draft position unfortunately.

I will stop paying attention to your analysis since you thought the Heat were a better matchup for us than the Pacers.

I never doubted the talent, but the ISO offense they ran fit right into the Bulls' hands - see Game 1. And if the Bulls could shoot better they'd be up 2-1 right now, if not 3-0.

Let's not give any credit to the team with the 2nd best FG% against during the regular season.

No doubt that's a part of it. But go watch the 1st quarter of game 2. The bulls missed about 8 wide open shots. That game should have been over in the first half. Instead, Miami stuck around and won it in the final minutes.

If the Bulls had made some of the tough shots Miami has made for the last 2 games, this would be a totally different series. Can we all agree on that?

Too lazy to look it up and do the math but I'm pretty sure points scored in the series is just about even.

I can agree with that. My concern is this: Are the Heat just getting luckier to make those tougher shots? Or is it because their top 3 players are better scorers than the Bulls top 3?

u r correct sir

 

bulls won game 1 by 21 points

they lost game 2 by 10

and they lost game 3 by 11

I hate the Bulls more when they win.

 

We know.

Hmm, it's almost as if the more highly-talented players are much more likely to make the more difficult shots...

Asik did not practice, likely to miss tonight's game.

He's warming up supposedly. Doesn't mean anything either way but can't be a bad sign...

ya just saw him on the court for shoot around. he'll likely play, but I'd expect to see Kurt Thomas as well.
