Series Thread: Heat vs. Bulls

[StrawberryShake]

asik is ruled out of the playoffs.

kurt thomas will be unleashed and it will be a messy game 5. heat have to close out. dallas did not impress me, mentally and defensively OKC is alot worse than chicago and they were all close games.

nowitzki is stoppable, look at his numbers against the heat this year. not impressive. I know i know, playoffs is a different ball game but if we get the w on thursday i think thats enough to get ample rest and study to make sure that dirk is stopped.

Kurt Thomas is one angry person and will probably try to injure our players. Have to be on watch for him.

I'm not too worried about Kurt Thomas. Noah on the other hand can be a loose cannon, gotta watch him.

It was good to hear LBJ say that they will approach this game as if it were a game 7. Hopefully they bring their A game and don't get ahead of themselves looking toward Dallas.

As for the Mavs their defense is nowhere near Chicago's although it's very good. Durant, Westbrook, and Harden got theirs on a regular basis. Dallas also hasn't faced defenses as great as Miami or Chicago. OKC just played dumb down the stretch of games and they let the Dallas role players go off. Dirk is going to get his who cares but whoever plays them needs to stay at home on the shooters. When open looks from 3 are falling there is little you can do. (see game 1)
