The Nets arguably are at their full strength while the Bulls are not even close to. And yet 3-1 lead... Now this is embarrassing.

Those 23 points were also one shy of the team record for points in a quarter by a single Bulls player in a postseason game. The player who holds the team record of 24 is exactly who you would expect.

No, not Brad Sellers, but that's a pretty good guess.

Saw that loss coming. Even though they're heading home for Game 6, that 3-2 series lead feels quite precarious. I don't like their chances if it ends up going to seven.

If Nets would have played with any consistency in the recent past I'd share your doubts. ;)
I still think Bulls will win it in seven but I also have to admit, that a game 7 is not desperately necessary...

I still like their chances of finishing it in six better. If they can't get it done at home in Game 6, I'm not sure they can bounce back on the road in Game 7.

That missed dunk by CJ, then the hack a evans/crash, and nate(should've tossed-out after that scuffle, CJ didn't do anything) was really big. Crazy game. Game 5 I was surprised PJ benched evans the entire 4thQ, then lo and behold great results. Even crash was doing damage due to proper spacing. BROOK LOPEZ! the "not a top 10 center" is actually beasting, 5 straight 20+ games 50%FG 89FT% and 4+blks not to shabby in his 1st PO experience..

I think at this point, Lopez has changed a lot of people's minds, but before this season that was a more questionable claim.

There are no moral victories or a moral loss right? a win is a win, nets forced game 7 at home. Noah look's more healthy(great job containing brook), I expect kirk and deng(and maybe rose too) will play in game 7. Blatche came-up big(scored last 5 pts) and that jumpball between dwill and noah is the play of the game, imho..

I like Thibs but he sucks at managing minutes, he runs these guys into the ground. It's like he's playing a video game. All through the regular season he refused to play guys like Nazr and Teague, now he has no choice. Teague looks like a fish out of water because he hasn't played all year. I still think we made a mistake extending Taj instead of Asik. We should have kept both, thanks again for being so cheap Reinsdorf.

Exciting game. But still, the Heat are bored once again. Let's get this series over with.

I think the game was lost already by then.

Noah backed up his talk and came out on a mission, man I love his energy and passion for the game.

Play of the game imo

Wow sad thing is Nets are stuck with Joe Johnson's $20 million and Gerald Wallace's 10 million combo for atleast 3 more years.

One of the better series so far. Great effort and showmanship of grit and tenacity of the bulls, kuddos to coach thibs and noah, they really backed the talk, can't complain about that. Give credit to nate and bellineli for stepping their game. That game 4 really came back to haunt the nets. JJ picked the worst game to underperform(2-14 FG, clearly that injury caught him this time).
