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

It's a very physical game at both ends of the court, yet the Heat currently have 17 free throw attempts compared to just six by the Bulls, 12 fouls called on the Bulls compared to eight on the Heat. More than a couple of sketchy calls so far.

Bulls squandered that early lead though, their defense hasn't look as sharp in the second quarter, they're taking some bad shots and once again missing easy ones around the hoop. You're not going to win playing like that.

Fuck man, Rose with a great dunk!

What a smash by rose.

The greatness has just been posterized

Seems like it's gonna be a tight game. Hoping the Heat could run away in 3rd or 4th again.

Wow! A couple of awesome dunks by Rose there, second one brought me out of my seat. Good to see him not settling for the outside shot as they're not going down. He got clobbered on the next play though, should've been a foul...especially considering what they've been giving up at the other end. Strong finish to the quarter for the Bulls but if Wade and LeBron it going, they're in trouble.

Barkley for finger? guess so.

It was actually a reasonably generous continuation for Rose when he was fouled by Chalmers but not an uncommon call in the NBA as Steve Kerr noted. A comment on the video calls it the worst continuation in NBA history but it's not even close, it's standard call until they tighten up the rules and pretty much everyone benefits from it from time to time.

Good start for the Bulls in the third, long way to go though.

That was one HARD dunk by James! I could hear the rim ringing for a while o.O

Oh well I wish they can hang on until 4th.

A couple of bad possessions by the Bulls and here come the Heat again. Going to be a close one.

Well 68 - 63 end of third. hopefully they can hang on.

EDIT: Here we go again 4th quarter struggle.

That was not an offensive foul. Absolutely disgraceful of Joey Crawford to reward such an obvious flop by LeBron. Pathetic.

Yeah I hate it when the fouls are not that good.

Bulls are pretty sloppy at the moment. That's not going to get it done.

Very close 4th quarter. We're in it for an exciting finish

This 4th quarter is going CRAZY!

And another awful flop is rewarded.

LeBron taking over.

This is going right down to the final second!
Heat need to score nowz!

DAMN DAMN DAMN!

Not a good final play for the Bulls. This is an amazing game!
Is it just me or is there a Bulls fan really close to the cameras saying "Let's go bulls" and screaming "noooooooo"?
EDIT: LOL The guy is absolutely hilarious! He's going crazy!

Bulls have nothing going offensively in OT. Still ample time left, but it's not looking good.

Its over...

I think that's the game. Great hustle by Wade and Bron.

Lebron has gone completely CRAZY! And Wade stepped it up on Defense
