Celtics > Hawks & Pacers...
Don't front on the 76ers either. They would probably win series against the Hawks & Pacers too lol.

heat in 4
-
Heat in 6 unless Bulls offense starts clicking ... they need a 18/20 and 10 series from Booz , Rose needs to be more efficient shooting wise ... won't beat the Heat by shooting in the low 40es like he did so far in the postseason , Deng will have to get his aswell ....
I don't see that happening ( especially the Boozer part) so Miami will advance , Bulls D will keep things interesting though
-
Heat in 5... even if it goes to 6 games (which is very possible), Chicago has no real chance of advancing. Back when the playoffs started I actually thought they could give the Heat a lot of trouble, but now this almost seems ridiculous considering how both teams have played so far. Boozer has been a faggot until the last game and Rose is not a top 5 NBA player regardless of what everybody is saying. And EVEN IF the series is somehow turns out to be highly competitive, it gon be the refs to the rescue for the Heat. Not only do the Heat have the bigger stars, they also are about 5 times more entertaining to watch. Out of the good teams, the Bulls are easily the ugliest team.
-
^^^^^that's why I would expect the Bulls to make the Finals if I were a Mavs fan ... I can't imagine the refs not influencing closed games in the favor of the Heat in the Finals ... and none of these West teams are THAT much better than the Heat (if any are) to put 4 games away before the 4th quarter ... don't forget Heat has HCA aswell so in case of closed Game 6 and/or 7 , we all know what will happen
Heat in the Finals against Dallas = Miami NBA champions ...
OKC has a better chance against Miami (even though the Mavs are the better team) because:
- they matchup with the Heat better than the Mavs
- Refbrook and Durant can go ref on ref against pretty much anyone
they would still lose because of their bad execution down the stretch i.e ballhog Russell thinking he's the number 1 option and Durant being too sof to put him back in his place
-
^I would absolutely prefer Chicago in the Finals if the Mavs beat OKC. I just see no real chance of that happening, unless Wade gets injured or sleeps with Gloria James.
Ever since the Mavs got Kidd they have a little more ref-respect, though. Kidd can hack opponents and take charge a bit more successfully, a guys like Barea or Terry would get called for the reach in or blocking foul far more likely.
-
Heat in 5.
-
Heat have officially figured it out. My Bulls I believe are a year away. Would like to see us still upgrade at shooting guard for next season. Still picking Bulls in 7 but would not be shocked at the least if Miami won the series.

-
Chicago is too big inside, outrebounded, 2nd chance, bench, and the D was some of the best I have seen from them all year. If Miami can't get fast break points up in the 20's or 30's and control the boards somewhat, they aint winning the series. Chuuch
-
I said six because I figured the Bulls would win at home. Whether it's by one or twenty, makes no difference, it's a loss. There are no morale victories now.

Props for the link dude. Crazy dunk.
I wanted to see Reggie's expression lol.

1)Miami seriously need to move the ball a lot more in the upcoming games.... James and Wade iso won't do it against Bulls D ... the pb is that's how they have played all year ...
2) Heat got smoked on the glass , the initial D was very good , but they gave up too much tips in , wide open 3 on 2nd shot opportunities
Chicago D was GREAT and the supporting cast showed up on the offensive end ... I doubt they can keep up like this in the 3 pt shooting but as long as they are playing that type of D , they will have a chance in every game
Too bad the schedule of this series is WACK ... Game 2 Wednesday , Game 3 Sunday .. WTF
-
Chicago has no real chance of advancing.
man, ur really funnystyle with some of the shit u say
i do think thunder would beat the heat, hell yea...with perkins and ibaka down low + durant and westbrook on the perimeter....heat lack size, they will beat chicago because chicago lacks scorers and they will beat boston because boston lacks size....but the mavs have size+scorers and so do the thunder...hence, my original statement, that the heat have an easy road to the finals, which was idioticly shot down by teecee before he even gave it thought.
:-*

It's because the West Finals start later... so it's all gravy and the Finals don't start way too early or late for one of the teams.. still quite extreme.
The reason for this being a blowout was the Bulls' 3 pt shooting, they normally aren't that good... Miami dared Rose to shoot the 3, and he made it... there will be times in this series when he won't make it.
Chicago is not the stronger team and I'm sure they would have had more of a struggle against Boston than Miami did, but they are having the right tools to fuck the Heat, let's see if they can keep it up, it would be delightful ;)

regardless, to say "chicago has no chance" is a joke....both teams have a very good chance of advancing.
-
I love the Chicago has no chance of advancing comments. I dig the underdog role and approach that the Bulls are taking with the playoffs. Look that team might not have what Miami has individually but as far as a TEAM, they are one of the best if not the best team left in the playoffs. Even after LeBron made his decision the Bulls made a point to build a team around Rose, and minus a consistent shooting guard to add to the starting 5 they have that.

I won't front I didn't think the Bulls had much of a chance, but I'm pulling for them, fuck MIA.

I wish reggie miller would stop commentating, he is bias and annoying. He wouldnt even acknowledge R. Allen's hot streak of 3-pointers during the heat/celtic series. I recall the other commentator saying "Speechless reggie" ?!...and he was wrong for doing that, he quickly changed the direction of the subject....
personally....he has one highlight and that was the push-off jumper. 8) a bad no-call...

LOL!! Find the nearest cliff and jump. LMFAO at Reggie has "one highlight', and if you even followed basketball or the night when Ray Allen broke the 3pt record of Reggie Miller, you would realize how stupid on all accounts that you sound with this post.
-
I still like the Heat in 6 and I also like the Mavs in 6.
NBA Finals prediction = Heat over Mavs in 6
-
7even : yep the Bulls offense will cool off , but it's going to be extremely hard for the Heat iso offense is going to beat the Bulls 4 times out of 7 ... Bron/Wade will have better games but it won't be enough if they don't start moving the ball way more
-
Looking at this series chicago poses a huge threat on 2 levels... endurance and size/rebounding
Lebron bosh d wade all punch in over 40 min a contest and when you've got fresh bodies that are more than capable coming off the bench at home it can really wear a team down
Noah and the other bulls hustle players are killing us with their work on the glass.. joel anthonys only 6'8 and our other centers are sippin on cans of ensure instead of gatorade during the huddles putting us at a disadvantage.. heat have to stop running out after getting stops stay back and box out.
Btw anyone ever stop to think how shaq qould destroy noah in his prime if they ever got to play.. still remember how he took the fight out of then defensive player of the yr swoll ben wallace back in o5 and o6
-
^^^ I do agree on the endurance point ... the Bulls are dedicated to defense from the start of the game ... they basically play with the same intensity on the defensive end the whole game and wear the opponent down ... the versatility of Noah and Gibson is just great , they can basically stay home with the guard/wing players on a pick n roll switch
the Heat being undersized is just part of the rebounding pb but not the only explanation ... J Anthony is doing a great job at hedging the Rose/Booz pick n roll but when he's out there on the perimeter , the others players have to rotate to put a body on Noah/Gibson.
- the other pb is Miami biting on Boozer faking the set of a screen ... he has alsways done that in his carreer with Utah ... he basically fakes setting a screen and roll to the basket .. if the player covering Booz bites on the fake , it's basically a 2 on 1 near the basket with Boozer and Noah ... ending up in easy baskets
On the Shaq comment : Shaq was already (way) past his prime in Miami ... his prime ended in 02-03
-
Now with that super long wack layoff finally over... its time for the long awaited game 3
As far as the endurance goes, the emergence of udonis haslem the heart and soul of the team shaking off all the splinters for all of his 8 games in, the bench looks formidable and ready to match the intensity of joakim noah and taj gibson.. ud is our super thug in corn rows who can whip chris boshs ass in 5 seconds.. while mike miller isn't all the way back yet he's a very good rebounder, lays it all on the line and should provide us with some energy with his inspired play now that he's finally had his florida gator reunion with hhaslem on the court
Much better fight on the glass game 2.. noah looks light on his feet when he's getting boxed out for the board.. I want to see if the bulls bench can generate offense in miami where they don't have the benefit of women and children shouting mf's at d wade
As for shaq in the couple of yrs he spent down here was still dunking on ppl like tyson chandler... I would argue that after he won his last championship trophy he put himself on auto pilot high jacking teams for there cash kinda like luke walton lathering up phil jacksons balls ok maybe not that bad, but shaqs just been cruising
-
Well it appears that the finals are going to be either Heat vs Mavs or Heat vs Thunder. My three least favorite teams= Thunder, Heat, Mavs. What a fun season this has been.
-
^^^ you writing the bulls off already? They killed Miami on the glass, but gave them a lot if open looks all night. Miami outplayed them all game, yet It was close to the end. I'd say it's far from over
-
Chris Bosh is effectively guarding the only scoring option for the Bulls.
I almost want to say this is over.
-

I'm not saying it's impossible but it doesn't seem likely to me. Heat have 3 guys that can take over at any time and Bulls rely too much on Rose. Boozer played great but all in all isn't cut out to be a second option. IMO Chicago won't get to the next level until they get a 2 guard that can take more of the scoring load off Rose. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong but I just don't see the Bulls pulling it off this year.
-
damn that nigga wade missed a wide open fast break dunk wtf.
-
Bron with 8 straight when the game was slipping away. Dude is major right now
-
yeah he's so good i'm scared shitless. wade has been demoted to clear cut sidekick status recently
-
fuck the heat and all the faggot bandwagoners
-
Im not a d wade apologist but he hasn't looked good these playoffs looks like he's playing with an injury.. doesn't look like he has the same bounce in his step from the end of yr
Mike millers and mike bibby gotta do work today beyond that 3
-
Fuk i hate when Bron or wade isolate it's predictable as fuck and boring to watch. Tr last few games have been good because Of ball movement
-
Holy fuck. Rose can't shoot at all , but that was an incredible dunk
-
That mf look like he's playing for his life tonight...
Bosh 2 early quick fouls didn't help much and how the f did the bulls come back and take the lead going into halftime what just happened
-
Im not a d wade apologist but he hasn't looked good these playoffs looks like he's playing with an injury.. doesn't look like he has the same bounce in his step from the end of yr

Miller has come thru; ya Wade doesn't seem himself though he just hit a big shot
-
There we go; another Wade lay-up. Game ovrr
-
Bulls are done. The Heat scare the fuck out of me.
-
Crazy defense by Bron on Rose, wade with some gr8 defense in OT
Miller was HuGE
Bosh was very good again
With miller and Haslem on with the big three, that's a scary Line-up
-
And to, bron mad clutch again( even if he got away with a travel on that jumper). Shocked he can stay in front f Rose
-
Wade played like complete shit for four quarters. But he came through in OT.
-
I fucking hate Miami but they're looking unreal. Definitely think they're gonna' win it all but I hope Dallas does
-
This will be a good learning experience for the Bulls (like OKC) ... you can't expect the Rose and Durant to lead their team to the Finals and beat solid teams like Miami and Dallas after a very few postseason runs ... the lack of ball movement against the Heat D is just too much to overcome down the stretch...
I can't understand the last play though ... Rose just missed a stepback J in a iso play against Lebron the possession before ... still they "run" the exact same play on a potential GW shot ... should have run a Rose /Korver or Deng pick n roll ... would have had a better look ... huge coaching mistake
Mavs -Heat is going to be interesting , Dallas being a much better offensive and experienced team than Chicago ... ball movement and extra pass is what you need to beat that Heat D and Dallas is the best at doing it ... on the other end Wade and Bron will be bothered less by Dallas D than they are by the Bulls D
