Nah, that's just the shape of his mouth from carrying Lebron's nuts in his mouth

I can't stand watching Miami Heat home games.

Michael Baiamonte is the most obnoxious and annoying arena announcer in the league.

Can't stand watching the dirtiest player in the nba. Someone needs to retaliate if he uses his dirty tactics on bulls players.

Do we know what is wrong with Noah? is it just flu or cover up?

Sam Smith FTW:

Dwyane Wade showed in Sunday’s big Miami win that he’s still talented. But he also may be the league’s dirtiest player. I wonder sometimes if he needs that anger management more than Ron Artest. I seems more than coincidence now with Wade injuring so many players, and always after he didn’t get a call or someone made a play against him. There was Wade last year causing Rajon Rondo’s dislocated elbow after a Rondo steal from him. Wade also ran across the floor with a shoulder block into Paul Pierce in that series. There was Wade breaking Kobe’s nose in the All-Star game, of all places, after Kobe put a move on him that froze him and left Wade looking bad. There was Wade throwing Richard Hamilton into the stands in Miami after Hamilton had made some driving plays against him. There was Wade’s body block from behind against Darren Collison in this series after a steal. Wade seems to have for some reason become something of a menace and a cheap shot player and the NBA needs to begin paying attention to the blind shots before someone really gets hurt.

miami has never blown us out, now is their chance while we are weakened.

Easy loss. This is gonna be ugly. Miami has been playing awful ball recently (for them) but we got blown out at home by Charlotte and then barely beat an awful Magic team. Not too confident.

What exactly was wrong with that intro?

Kirk the Wade stopper at it again, as is Deng the Lebron stopper.

easy win.

Oh yeah, finally! Too bad we aren't fully healthy but I'm still excited for this one.

With Pooh on the bench you never know, his prescience is powerful.

I'm just remembering him coming out to hand the game ball after his injury in last years playoffs and the stinker the Bulls put up for that game, maybe he should stay away from the team till he's ready to play :cry:

Bulls will be in this for three and a half quarters until Miami decides that they want to play.

If Noah can't go, Gibson will tally another 20 and 10. Hinrich will do something like 2-9 from the field with 5 assists. As he always does, Deng will make Lebron work for every bit of his 28 points, 8 assists and 8 boards.

Heat: 105
Bulls: 98

The avuncular Neil Funk will exclaim "Oh myyyyyyy" as James hits some seemingly impossible dagger shot in the waning minutes to ice the victory for Miami. Spoelstra will be oily.

Let's defend Lebron James the same way we defended Carmelo Anthony... throw Loul Deng & Jimmy Butler at him.

You might be right but that same Orlando team just took Miami into OT a couple days ago.
