It will take a miracle for us to stay in this game, but we've been sucha weird Jekyll and Hyde team that I wouldn't be surprised if it goes down to the wire.

We aren't the type of team that beats the heat unless Joakim and Boozer can both have a monster game. We have been terrible getting back in transition for the last couple of games. Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte at times all just killed us on the break and we don't have the offense to get those easy buckets back like they do

Rip and Kirk are the Wade stoppers today!

Boozer had a great game Wed....now lets see if he can put together a good game against a good team. Because of his sorry defense only a 20/10 game will be tolerated. As many said he is the best offensive player we have (pretty sad but true) so at what point does a 10 year vet put together good consistent games comparable to his talent?

This is gonna be ugly either way. Either an ugly win or a pretty ugly loss.

We are exactly the type of team that beats the heat during the regular season. We've done it so much, it's honestly expected at this point, especially after being in a slump for so long, typical bulls, get our asses handed by Charlotte then whoop Miami's ass.

Can't wait for this one, but to be honest I am expecting a loss tonight :/.

Both Noah and Lebron are gametime decisions.

assuming kirk continues to start, we're outmanned at 4 of the 5 starting positions. This will be a blowout.

Bulls were 16-0 against the Heat all time before this game, 17-0 afterwards. How times change.

With the signing of Cook, anyone think Thibs/GarPax sends Hamilton home tonight? It's pretty obvious he's gone, right? Why risk injury before a trade? We all know Rip is made of glass.....

Man, would Rose eat this team alive at the rim. Their leading shot blocker is Chris Bosh with 37. For comparison, Taj has 34 and he'd be 7th in minutes on the Heat.


I would love another healthy go (with healthy Rose) at this team in the playoffs. They would probably be too dumb to go back the waning Joel Anthony though he really did make life harder for Rose a lot. While the rubes think it was just all LeBron.

True, we don't Wade pushing him down and breaking him again.
