Disappointing performance by the Lakers today, being swept 4-0 and losing by over 30 points is bad enough but two cheap shot fouls leading to two players being ejected is disgraceful for a proud franchise....not the way for the greatest coach in NBA history to go out. So long Phil, it's been great. As far as the Lakers go, a major shakeup is probably coming as they looked old, tired and disinterested. If Dwight Howard is serious about playing for the Lakers, they should try and get him but they also need help at point guard and bench.

Man, the Bulls punished the Heat last night, really exposed their lack of an inside game along with their sloppy half court plays, gotta give the Bulls credit, they play great defense and board extremely well, Heat need a quick fix or they could be in trouble.

If the Bulls make their threes like they did last night, Miami could get swept. The Heat are simply no match for the Bulls on the glass, and while Chicago has guys who can bother Wade and LeBron, no one on Miami has a prayer against Rose. A young, athletic frontcourt like Chicago's will always give the Heat major problems. The fact that Jamaal Magloire got meaningful minutes this early in the series is a bad sign.

Most experts like to crown eastern conference false champions after two rounds. two years ago it was Clev, last year was Orlando, this year Miami. I thought the Heat were abysmal against Boston the last 3 games. They lost by 16 to a one armed point guard for a quarter and a half, got taken to OT in game 4 with an entire game by a one armed point guard, and were down 6 with 4 minutes left at home in game 5 against a one armed point guard. The common knowledge was the Bulls struggled mightily against the Pacers and Hawks, and though perhaps true, they were brutally efficent against ATL in games 5 and 6 thus showing an upward trend, while Miami was definitely on a downward trend in the BOS series. Chicago's game 6 against ATL was the best playoff game by any team so far this year. Miami peaked in game 1 against BOS and has been steadily declining since.
Thus far Derek Rose has two arms still. Miami can certainly come back but I liked what I saw in game 1.

It doesn't matter if Wade and Lebron play out of their minds for the rest of the series, Chicago is going to the finals. |

If you're going to be a redboarding dipshit, you should at least note what I actually said:
"If the Bulls make their threes like they did last night, Miami could get swept." The Bulls are 14-for-56 on threes in their last three games. It's destroyed them. So my 'prediction', if you can even call it that, wasn't even wrong. |

I think they've been much more consistent against better teams than Chicago has been. Miami played some close ones against Philly but my impression is that they were in control and just didn't put Philly away. I thought Indiana outplayed Chicago in at least three and maybe four of those games. I thought Atlanta did whatever they wanted to do and the reason they didn't win was because they are Atlanta, not because Chicago took it from them, except for the last game.
I think the Heat overreacted to Rose in game one and left shooters open when they didn't need to. I think from here on out, they will do a better job of staying on the shooters and boxing out on the boards and if that means that Rose gets to get free a little more in the lane, so be it. I think that with this team, you take the same rules you used to take against Jordan, Iverson, and Bryant and that is that you let them get 50 or 60 if they can but don't let others hurt you. Overall, I just don't think Chicago has the talent to beat Miami in a series.

I like this one bettah: A true sage, soothsayer and prophet, right on analysis KG. Wonder what happened to the bull are going to sweep talk? And when name calling, you fail in a colossal way once again in stealing another posters original name call. This is called being.."stupid." Yes...."stupid." |
