Especially after the hate they were beginning to draw after eliminating the Sixers from the Playoffs. I guess it's the Heat's turn to play the villain. ;)

Overrated because it is pretty obvious in this series how his defense is non existent (and how the All-Defense teams are a joke) and how his game is more or less limited only to penetrations. A bigger, more athletic version of Tony Parker. Don't get me wrong - I respect this guy and his basketball skills, but he is not worthy of being mentioned in the MVP disscussion in spite of how efficient he has been offensively during the regular season.

Puck you Andrew for bringing that up, puck you. :crazy:

I saw a playoff commercial where it showed video clips of playoff bound teams and noticed that AI (76ers) was in it and no Bulls clips. Maybe it was made before the playoffs even started and assumed the Bulls wouldn't make it. Just a rant folks.

heh that seems a bit of an overstatement. his game is 'limited' to only penetrations. just give the Bulls defense credit for the last 2 games

just watch- Wade will probably go off in game 5 and people will start to call Hinrich's defense overrated :crazy:

They did the same thing with Kobe last year, inserting him into various playoff commercials even though the Lakers were officially eliminated from contention before the season's final weeks. I wonder if it could be considered false advertising? :crazy:

Oh, and seeing as how you and Drex kept assuring us the Bulls wouldn't make the Playoffs, I had to bring that up. :P

Game 4: Heat @ Bulls was the worst officiated game of the playoffs. How does the team that attempted the most free throws in the season only get there 5 times while the Bulls continue to get undeserved respect from the officials?

I'm posting in this thread right now to jinx the Bulls. 2nd Quarter 38-33 Miami. Dwyane Wade is playing pretty well right now.

Kill the opposition's best player? Skiles is still a great coach, what a great strategy.

Wade's back though and Heat are winning by 9 with 3:30 to go. Perfect chance to win a game but Hinrich, Gordon & Deng fire blanks all night.

Bulls lose. Well, Bob Ryan's prediction was that the Bulls win game 6 and 7(lose game 5) so he could be right

Looks like the Bulls are all but gone, at least they gave them a run.

Shaq: 26 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists with 4 to go. There was a time when that wasn't a surprising statline for him.

Unfortunately they do seem to be going through the motions right now. Shaq's now hit the 20-20 plateau and Miami is simply the superior team. I was of course hoping for a seventh game and that the Bulls would be losing in a closer contest but it wasn't to be.

Don't worry guys, the Nets will sweep them for revenge :D
But seriously, I was crushed how they dominated us like a toy. Ben couldn't hit a shot for 2 games, and I guess Chandler carried the defense with him also well.
But look on the bright side: we now know that Mark Jackson is an idiot. :D

Yeah, that's Nocioni and the other guy is Songaila. I'll make sure I write this sort of things down so you and others won't be confused, allright?
