Eastern Conference Finals (Playoff): Chicago Bulls(1) Vs Miami Heats(2)

"Barkley sucks"

And "**** you Barkley"

That's what they are chanting

 

I disagree. I think the Bulls offense is fine for the talent they have. The problem is that they only have one guy who can manufacture his own offense, and no good offensive bigmen (I don't consider Boozer either good or a bigman as he has put up empty stats his whole career). The Bulls have overachieved, and the Heat have underachieved, and we're seeing the expected results now play out.

 

Miami is clearly the better team.

Didn't you think Boston and Orlando were going to make the ECF?

 

hmm...you may be right.

they def need a sg

 

The deal on why Miami fans hate Barkley SO MUCH:

Barkley went on Dan LeBatard's show and says that the Heat shouldn't have celebrated against the Celtics because they were supposed to beat them and that no team should ever celebrate like that unless it's the finals. He then said several times that he picked the Heat to win that series.

The next day on the radio, they played the audio from before the series where Barkley picked the Celtics and said there was no way Miami was beating them the way they were playing. Then they found footage where Barkley hit a game winner then had a lengthy spastic celebration where he jumped around with his teammates.

He also said that he has never said anything bad about the Miami team, despite the fact that he has called them punks and whiners on several occasions.

He's just seen as a hypocrite who never owns up to anything.

 

Their supporting cast is as good as it can be for the $$ that they had. Doesn't mean it's any good. Would obviously look better if Miller were healthy.

 

yep i picked Boston over Orlando

my luck has ran out against Lebron teams..

so you still thought Miami was clearly the better team after game 1? you prlly didn't post that night

 

I think the best player possible for them would be Nene-- a real bigman with an offensive game (not a pansy fadaway game like Boozer's). Their defense is predicated on having physical bigs to clog the paint, but having that sacrifices offense.

lol

 

Barkley is a big fan of underdog, controversial picks, which makes for better TV than picking the favorite (as ESPN and Yahoo writers do every year). This year he's also been correct on, I believe, three underdogs (Atlanta, Memphis, and Dallas).

 

i don't think nene can play the 4 and noah and asik are too valuable at the 5 imo

 

and people on clutchfans said lebron shouldn't be on all nba defense

 

nice to see lebron disproving a lot of myths in the playoffs. dude is clearly the best player in the L; only dwight howard comes close.

 

Howard isn't that close. LBJ has been the best player in the NBA since his 2nd season.

 

Asik only 15 minutes this game.

Bulls offense sucked and their defense weren't exactly spectacular. If they are not going to give Asik more minutes they should have trade him to us for Lee and fill that huge void at the 2 spot.

Lee would've made Wade work hard on the offensive and defensive end and given the Bulls a much needed offensive boost.

 

I never saw a single person post that......then again I let the LeBron obsessed people argue on their own. I don't take either side....it aint that serious to me

 

? I didn't say he was never right, he just blatantly lies about things when confronted about them and revises history as necessary. He seems to legitimately be living in his own reality. For example, he says all the time that he genuinely believes that nobody dislikes the Miami Heat.

 

he's the only player who can be mentioned in the same breath as lebron since they both dominate on both sides of the ball. you have to give howard props for how he elevated his offensive game this year.

 

lol..

 

Maybe, maybe not would have gotten more minutes but left with a strain or sprain either in the 3rd Q or 4th Q, I dont remember. Yeah, not the most accurate info there, ha, but he did leave with injury.
