    1) they didn't even try boxing out. many times a big man just runds down the lane off of a miss and get the boards. size doesn't help with simple box-out. they let noah did that many times.

    2) if lebron is going to let asik and gibson shut him down 1-on-1, well, there's nothing you can do about that. i don't expect that to happen again. that really messed them up offensively when lebron couldn't score 3 times vs gibson/asik off of isos; he couldn't even get to the basket. he scores on those or get fouls, it changes their defense tremendously.

    3) and have you seen wade play this sluggish from start to finish in a playoff game?

    the heat are who they are, and they need to use that to their advantage. if lebron/wade can't even score off of isos on the bulls' big men, then the bulls will win pretty easily.

    the logic of going small is to push the tempo.

    you're not going to push the tempo on this bulls team. their transition defense is too good. the heat are still a half court team who get's their transition buckets off defense and rebounds.

    there going to get rebounded with their "big" lineup so going small gives them absolutely no chance. what i'm saying is they should just take what they can with their "big" lineup because going small might not be the "better" solution.

    whatever they do, jamaal magloire just should sit out this series

    why does thread title and poll read "heats"? lol

    anyway, bulls rock. they play hard, they rebound, they defend as a team, and they attack and move the ball on offense. they are the best team in the league.

    not only will they win this series, but they will be the champions.

    they were never a push the tempo team. with their small lineup, they hope to create mismatches against lebron on offense. and they did. lebron couldn't deliver tonight on any of them. that really made their small lineup look bad. lebron was straight up trash tonight offensively as he couldn't take asik or gibson 1-on-1.

    Bosh's role players didn't step up tonight.

    He should demand a trade to a better team.

    Didn't watch too many Bulls games this season but they look awesome today.
    Not impressed with the Heat all season. They are sort of boring.

    I picked the Bulls to win this series but I didn't expect a blowout like this. I think MIA will bounce back WED night and CHI is gonna have to steal one of the two out on the road in MIA.

    Gibson is quickly becoming a fan favorite. Heckuva player

    OMG. I feel bad for asik for getting posterized as well. He needs to move out of the way quicker next time.

    Speaking of Asik, why no one gives him any credit for his interior defense and the man to man d on Lebron?
