I wonder how tomorrow night's game will go. If it's close, is there any chance that the Heat just fail to score down the stretch again?

Combine any chances of the heat tensing up with the fact that the Bulls can crank down their defense in the last few minutes if its close...and yes.

With all the times in the past two weeks that the Bulls have had "no chance" of winning....I can't help but have some optimism for now. The nice part of all the injuries is that I won't feel that bad if/when we lose, but we play so hard and so well that it is just magnificent to watch no matter the result -- especially when "win" is a potential result no matter who plays.

Wellp, I'm preparing for an LBJ 40pt first half. If we are within 10 after 3 I'll start feeling confident.

40 might be a bit much, but a big first half for Lebron is also a reasonable result (particularly if Deng is still out or is clearly sub-100%).

It's fun to watch their grind right now. The way they were doubling lebron, where 3 different players would come in, pressure, then return, was so great.

 

Joakim has turned into a great center. Better than probably we fans can even realize, with the amount of times he probably bails out teammates without us noticing. Truly great playoffs for him so far.

Yeah, I agree...I expect him to come out and set the tone next game, because I honestly don't believe Wade can with his knee issues. If I'm the Bulls, I am putting my fastest pressure defender on Wade and trying to take him out of the game. He looks like a shell of his former self right now.

I am driving to Iowa for a job interview on Wednesday night, any one know where I can pick up the bulls game on the radio between Rockford and Iowa City? I'll be past Rockford by tip-off and WMVP does reach past Rockford.

 

My last ditch hope is to buy NBA Game Time Plus and stream it to my phone while I drive.

Look for any ESPN affiliate. It's a national radio broadcast.

It looks like some combination of...

 

1330 AM (Rockford)

1060 AM (Rochelle)

94.3 FM (Dixon/Sterling/Morrison)

 

Once you get to Iowa, you're f***ed, but that will cover about 70 minutes or so, I'd guess.

Thanks! I saw the Rockford/Rochelle stations. I figured I could patch work it for a while. I think I might have to invest in the app to stream the game.

 

There's no blackouts for radio streaming, right?

You might need to invest in the NBA Gametime App.

 

Worst-case scenario, 670 will work the entire way and they'll be talking about the game.

From KC Johnson tweets...it looks like we might not even have deng/hinrich for game 3.

From the picture of Deng - I'd be shocked if he's available at all in this series.

Being bed ridden for that long will undoubtedly mess with his endurance and physical condition. He needs time to get back into game shape.

I checked and ESPN says it's not a national broadcast:

You don't have a Sirius or XM radio in your car that you don't pay for service on? Maybe just pay for a month.

no, not on the car I'll be driving.

 

i think I'll just do the NBA app and stream while I am driving. My work phone has unlimited data :)

That drive will hit a lot of deadspace.

I drive to the quad cities and a little into Iowa all the time, both on 80 and 88. You should get WMVP at least until the quad cities, if not a little further.

wow, really? I was under the impression it drops off pretty quickly outside of the suburbs at night. I know it gets very staticy for me some nights and I'm in Hoffman Estates!

I've showered at iowa 80. Cleaner than any apt I lived at in college.

Night is the best time for an AM signal.
