people act like the Heat are just goint to march all over the bulls. Boston had games 4 and 5 won, and blew it. Maybe the Bulls wont? Or maybe the bull won't even be in the game to begin with.
The Heat ARE going to walk all over the "only gotta stop one dude" Bulls. Care to tipjar bet on that series?
Kobe's first 3 were with Shaq...that duo was equally as dominant as the Heat's duo. Finally Lebron has a dominant teammate. Criticism over championships can only legitimately begin AFTER this year.
heat in 5 or 6. the bulls do have two advantages: 1)they are the best rebounding team in the L. joel anthony won't have as big of an impact, if at all, in this series b/c noah does what he does but better. the heat will have to stay close on the boards and not get destroyed by like 10+. 2) they have a better bench. their bench is stifling defensively and that could keep them in games as the heat's bench is below average. rose can do whatever he wants but he's not going to win this series by himself. he's simply not that good. if he struggles to score vs the pacers/hawks, he's going to produce similar efficiency vs the heat. furthermore, wade no longer has to play defense now he's playing bogans/brewer. therefore, look for him to explode offensively and also chip in some time to guard rose. lebron averaged 28pts on 56% shooting vs the bulls in the reg season so deng can't check him. and he should shut down deng. and chris bosh doesn't have KG over him so expect him to have his normal series of 17-18 pts and 9+ boards. that will only alleviate the pressure on lebron/wade. it's hard to bet against a team with the two best players in the world right now playing at their best. if they can score (wade 30ppg and lebron 28ppg) like this vs a celtics defense, they will do the same vs a bulls defense basically patterned after them (due to thibs)
the heat were in their choking phase. they also lost the knicks and blazers. the bulls played the heat TWICE during that span. they choked double digit leads in both. the first game, lebron didn't play and it was a tight game. so yea if you expect the heat to choke double digit leads agian, the bulls could win.
I'm willing to bet anyone that the Heat will beat the Bulls in 5. They will win one game cuz of homecourt. $100 to the tipjar. Anyone?
ah ha!! so you can agree with this thread to some extent. then last night happens and all the jock strap lovers come in saying how he is not choker lol :grin:
the team choked in general; it wasn't just lebron. if you saw those games, even though the heat lost, the bulls were not the better team. every game was still down to the wire and the heat should have still won the last reg season. and that was when the bulls played their best ball and the heat played their worst ball. the only way the bulls can steal 2 games if the heat become lackadaisacal b/c they just beat the celtics. thats why they might drop game 1 in chicago b/c of the hangover.
The same way the Celtics beat them in the regular season. They were learnig how to play together and going thru a slump.
http://chasing23.com/kobe-bryant-vs-lebron-james-game-winning-shots/ good read for those who want the clutchness b/t kobe vs lebron in the playoffs. kobe is 6/23 in game winning situations. lebron is 5/11 for their playoff careers
Dude Lebron must have done something to you when you were a kid. Your hate is over 9000 lol... My team (besides the Rox) Celtics got beaten by them so I hope they get raped, but damn man, your hate.... If this is to spite Octavinius then I see your point
lmao I agree. I wouldn't call this a choke, just a crappy game and a stellar defensive showing. Although a bump was inevitable...
