Bulls Vs. Miami

[BIG GREEN]

The game is going on now...should be a good series. What's with the fans all wearing white though?

[Fresh8]

Shouldn't this be in Bulls talk? Just a suggestion.

[sucram]

Good playoffs type first quater. Anyone think Wade is a little nervous? Needs more touches. Good start from Shaquille! Hinrich is playing Wade extremely well imo.

[Silas]

shaqs ownin em all! they seriously are stupid not to give him the ball EVERY time, they always win when they run a play thru him and he's healthy.

[sucram]

Good half! Heat shooting at a 63% i think it is. Hopefully we can keep this up, everyone is playing well. The whole thing with Udonis was interesting to say the least, i think they made the right call.

[zmac]

Wow, Shaq is showing why he got all those Finals MVP awards. He isnt in foul trouble (yet) too which is good.

[Fitzy]

miami should win easy i rekon

[Drex]

WTF is wrong with Sweeteney? Shaq's shadow just gave him 2 blocks

[R.J.]

Bulls need to start makin layups and easy jumpers. Gordon's got 20, but that's it basically.

[hipn]

Watching... this game is kind of close... didn't expect the Bull to play well.

And LMAO at "The Red Bull"

[R.J.]

83-75. It's ridiculous that superstar treatment has gone this far in the NBA today.

[sucram]

Looks like we're in for a good 4th. Gordon and Hinrich are keeping them in. LMAO sweetney! Still not quite sure why their not feeding Shaq as much as they should be. He has also been nice on the boards, hopefully we can keep it up.

[R.J.]

Ben on fire! 31 pts!

[zmac]

I know this is kinda bandwagon-ish. But if the Bulls keep Gordon and Hinrich together, they will have one of the meanest backcourts in the NBA.
These guys are for real. We've already seen what Hinrichs capable of, but Gordon is taking himself to another level as of late. GO BULLS! (I actually go for Cavs )

[R.J.]

Yeah zmac, we've been hoping that since...just about the last 2 yrs. I think this is our time. Gordon, Hinrich, Deng, Nocioni, Chandler. Our big 5. We've got that NY draft pick and $16 mil of cap room.

93-91 Heat. About 7 minutes left. Hopefully the Bulls can pull this out, if they could it would be huge.

P.S. Wade is so overrated, he gets so many calls...

[R.J.]

If Wade gets TOUCHED, it's a foul.

Shit, we lost. Well, we made a statement that this series is not gonna be a coaster for them. We'll get 'em on Monday.

[BIG GREEN]

Shouldn't this be in Bulls talk? Just a suggestion.

no because this topic is about this playoff series...not a bulls topic.

Dwayde came on and helped seal the win. Shaq showed a glimpse of his old self...this was the best game of the play-offs so far.

[JohnA20]

Miami by 5, 111-106, pretty close

[sucram]

Good game, a lot of interesting things to take out of it. This could go as far as 6 maybe? There was quite a little scare their with Wade, hopefully it was only a cork like walton said. Watching the press conference on NBATVBB now.

[Andrew]

Hinrich and Nocioni blew it at the end there, first with that horrible pass by Hinrich then his decision the next time down the floor to ignore a wide open Gordon at the three point arc, instead opting to take a bad shot himself. Then the ill-advised three by Nocioni right off the inbound. I know getting the ball to the man with the hot hand is easier said than done when the defense really starts blanketing him but when you don't even try...nevertheless, a good outing by Hinrich and Nocioni otherwise.

I know it's a biased thing to say, but the league really should consider suspending Haslem for a game. Referees are sometimes the most frustrating individuals in sports but you just can't do what he did.

Still, I was very happy to see the Bulls so competitive, they might well have won if not for a couple of errors an older and more experienced team probably would have avoided. Huge game for Gordon with 35 points, he really seemed to be keeping them in the game for most of the first three quarters. I was also pleased to see him stay on the floor when he was needed, he was out there for 44 minutes according to the boxscores. Sweetney's blunders around the rim were disappointing, I wasn't surprised when he didn't return. I thought Deng should've played more. But all in all, not bad considering how Shaq and Wade played.

[Silas]

haslem deserves a suspension, iuno wtf he was thinking.

[John WB]

this was the best game of the play-offs so far.

Yup. Which sucks cause I sat throught the Kings/Spurs snorefest hoping to see a good game.

[Matt]

excellent game.....Bulls lack of 4th quarter execution will keep them from winning this series. They'll play tough, win a game, but in the end Heat will prevail.

I expect 1 rout for the Heat as well.

[Nel]

This bulls is slowly reminding me of the pistons. One thing they lack though is that inside presence like rasheed of detroit. Hope they add one legitimate threat inside in the offseason. I didn't catch the whole game but i saw the three point attempt of nocioni with 17 secs left. Could someone enlighten me why they took it early, and why ben gordon didn't get the ball?

[Axel]

If Wade gets TOUCHED, it's a foul.

Shit, we lost. Well, we made a statement that this series is not gonna be a coaster for them. We'll get 'em on Monday.

Come on... just cause the Bulls are jump shooting pussies doesn't mean that they cant get the same calls if they took it to the basket.
