2011 ECF: (1) Bulls vs. (2) Heat

[atlwarrior]

Well that's that Bulls up 1-0 on a blowout. Zan I guess you can flush your Heat in 4 prediction down the toilet .

[Mavs4Life]

Still think Heat in 7.

[benji]

Did Erick Dampier die or something? Somebody who can rebound, who isn't a walking corpse like Magloire, might help with preventing 19 offensive rebounds.

[Andrew]

Didn't take long for this one either.

I dont get why Big Z and Dampier were inactive, yet Magloire was in there.

[Andrew]

To commit hard fouls, according to Steve Kerr.

[Loupeitak]

He had 1 foul in 10 minutes though...

[Mavs4Life]

Spo's crazy. You put your two best centers inactive & keep Magloire. Atleast bring in Dampier for his rebounds, but Magloire. Either one of the inactive guys could have helped on the inside.

[Andrew]

He had 1 foul in 10 minutes though...

Well, no one said it was a good plan...

[atlwarrior]

Read an article a while back where Spoelstra gave an explanation about the absence of Dampier in the playoffs. Something about his knees but I can't find it at the moment but Spoelstra is holding back information on the situation.

Orebs, 3pt shooting, bench play, and defense

Outside of the 3pt shooting- I expect the bulls to continue to out play them in those areas

What adjustments does Coach Spo make?

Bosh's great game goes to waste

[Andrew]

Seeing as how they were beaten so badly on the boards, I'm guessing he'll shy away from going with that smaller lineup, probably give Haslem a bit more of a run along with Dampier and Ilgauskas (assuming they are actually both good to go).

U talkin like I was seriou wit ma predictio or somthin.

and OMG would u leave me alone fgs? i am gonna go lay down a bit now. kthxbai.

[George7]

that's a great result coming because of a great second half!Loved that defensive job, Noah and Gibson were just rocking the paint and the blowout is a great result for the team! Adding the 3-0 sweep in the regular season is a big morale booster and now I hope for another win in Chicago to make a point. The second game is going to be way tougher but if the Bulls keep playing like this,they're unstoppable IMO!

This for me is the play of the night.

[hova-]

Wicked play. I also loved how he went above D-Wade

[benji]

LeBron was just bored after the great night out:

[NovU]

NUTS! Crazy shit. Makes me wonder what $9 BUD LIGHT tastes like. At the same time, I wouldn't even drink a beer if there's Cristal for free!

[Dan's Brain]

I'm slightly late to the party here, but i'm jumping on the Bulls in 6. The early games are going to be the key here, as Chicago were extremely disappointing in the early stages of the first 2 rounds. If they can go into Miami up 2-zip, then they should be fine.

That's what I would have posted the other day.

As far as Game 1 is concerned: absolutely oustanding performance today with great effort on display all the way down the roster. The Bulls are incredibly hard to stop when they have their rebounding game firing like that.

[shadowgrin]

Those Gibson dunks were nasty. Almost got out of my seat when I was watching the game.

Seems like the Heat were too happy beating the Celtics they forgot the playoffs isn't over yet.

[Lean]

Almost got out of my seat when I was watching the game.

Me and my brother did. Especially that nasty follow-up.

[George7]

I just can't get enough of these 2 dunks!!!! They were just TOP!!

[Martti.]

The Heat could really use more of Haslem to rebound, I'm not sure Magloire is the answer.

[Dee.]

Heat in 5.

[shadowgrin]

Especially that nasty follow-up.

Oh! [/me]

Magloire was in there.

He had 1 foul in 10 minutes

Which proves he sucks. He can't even get the job of fouling done right.

Spo's making Mike Brown look like a genius.
