I expect an L, but the rebounding was ugly (then again... it's Dwight but they still don't box out that well). Then again, LeBron didn't exert a lot of energy in the 2nd half so... who knows.

Wade looked visible upset, Battier... lol@Battier.

Our bench has been so bad as of late.

I wish we lost in regulation rather than OT but whatever.

Our PG play has diminished rather quickly these days.

Lebron needs to fix his shooting issues. He's having his worst season from 16-23 feet since 2007-2008, and considering 32% of his FGA come from that zone, I'd say he really needs to get working on it.

nice gifs added for the Bulls :lol:

Expecting the L on this one to be honest. Second of a back to back on the road--hasn't exactly been the ideal situation for us to get a W. AND we're playing a Hot Bulls team that will be out for blood.

They'll win, the national media will start asking questions and flipping out and picking the Bulls to come out of the East, and we'll move on. It's pretty predictable. Maybe we can lose it on a last second miss by Lebron too, just to make it an even more perfect storm for the national media.

Just bring on the playoffs!

No more hero ball down the stretch in close games. It's not going to work. We need all three of the big three to play aggressively as a TEAM, not individuals.

What is the point of having all three if only one is going to hold the ball (Wade or LeBron) and force up a jumper?

Imagine if Wade would have just drove past JJ Redick on the last play. Probably have a W in regulation. Damnit.

Noah

WHy the hell would Rose be out?

oh... car accident, but he isn't hurt so that's a good thing. I'm sure he'd play.

Afridi786 · Post #13 » by **Afridi786** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 3:26 am

Missed practice, messed up his groin, had MRIs, than had the car accident, we just signed Mike James...again. He's going to be out.

Thibs confirmed that Rose will be okay to play. Don't know where you're getting that from.

aren't you the number cooker. he's shooting 39. in the last 5 seasons, it's 37, 40, 40, 45 and now 39. kobe is at 41, wade at 40... there's nothing to fix.

Is Deng playing? If he's not we can just bump up the last Heat/Bulls thread and save their posters the effort of coming up with new excuses.

i was very disappointed by our play at the end of the game and in ot. where was the beautiful ball movement from the indiana game? they're letting the closer talk get to their heads. wade wanted to finish with a picture perfect jumper at the buzzer.

whoever kyle korver is guarding has to be extra agressive.
