Interesting choice to pass all the way back to Jack to hit the long three but Lawson did that against me to when I played Denver. Another tough loss and that picture really illustrates were your team is at. You've got a good team I cant see why your losing.

[anthony22]

Azzdogs, no defense,thats why im losing

[Azzdogs]

Same with my first season in Toronto. Thats why in the offseason I picked up Wallace and Camby.

[kibaxx7]

Nice debut by Lewis, but yeah, you need some defensive players.

[Azzdogs]

Very odd standings. But good to see you in 7th position and hopefully you'll have a more successful second half of the season. I predict that you'll finish with the 4th seed.

[kibaxx7]

Nets 1st in the East? Impossible

[anthony22]

Azzdogs, thanks,i hope too that ill have good second half,but 4th seed,maybe not

Thierry., Kevin Martin and Dev Harris are great duo,they were both in the mvp standings at sometime

RECAP | BOXSCORE | PHOTOS | PLAY OF THE DAY

Its postseason and we are all excited.Chicago and Miami gave us a nice start of the playoffs.The Bulls escaped with the win after one overtime.They were 12 points down after the third and it seems like D-Wade and his Miami will took the opening win in the series.Derrick Rose didnt think like that.He scored 18 points in the 4th quarter.Thirty seconds before the end the Bulls tied the game after they were losing by 12.Earl Boykins and Acie Law scored very important shots with a minute left on the clock.Dwyane Wade scored a basket with 8 seconds left that gave the Heat a new 2 point lead but Derrick Rose made a nice assist to Joakim Noah who sent the game to overtime.Chicago were the better team and they really deserved the win.They are now leading 1-0 in the series.
Derrick Rose was the player of the game,he finished with 41 points,3 rebounds,7 assists and 2 steals.The former player of the Miami Heat,Shaquille O'Neal,was the leading rebounder - he had 16 boards and 8 points.Ray Allen helped Rose with scoring 24 points.Rashard Lewis was a rebound away from double-double.He also scored 15 points.
For the Heat,Dwyane Wade was held to only 16 points,6 assists and 5 rebounds.Mario Chalmers and Jermaine O'Neal were the best players on that team.Chalmers had 23 points and 11 assists,while Jermaine added 22 points,14 rebounds and 3 blocks.

RECAP | BOXSCORE | PHOTOS | PLAY OF THE DAY

The 6th seed Bulls are on their way to throw a bomb in the first round with eliminating the Heat.Dwyane Wade and co. who finished 3rd in the conference are not doing so well.In the regular season they thought that Butler's coming will be a lucky one but they are 2 games away now.The next two games are in Chicago and the Bulls are thinking of closing the series.
It was a close game again,really.The Heat were the leading team in the first half again but the better teamplay by the Bulls helped them.Chicago took the lead 2 minutes after the start of the last quarter and they were lucky to came out winners.
Derrick Rose continued his good shape with a double double - 27 points,10 assists and 3 rebounds.The Duo - Ray Ray and Rashard combined for 40 points(22 & 18).Lewis added 7 boards and 2 assists while Ray Allen had 3 boards and 4 assists.Joakim Noah was the leading rebounder that team.He finished with 6 points,15 rebounds and 4 blocks.Danilo Gallinari added 14 points from the bench.The little Earl Boykins scored 7 points 2/2 FG,1/1 3pt line in very important moments.
Dwyane Wade was unstoppable and he recored 38 points,4 rebounds and 4 assists.Caron Butler finished with 22 points and 6 rebounds.Jermaine O'Neal had 15 boards but he only scored 5 points after 23 in the first game.
