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

would that really happen if both ended in 5?

 

I think both are gonna end in 5.

Both Dallas and Miami have been a cut above the other teams the whole playoffs.....its time for them to collide.

 

I know the feeling. If you guys think Lebron acted like a douche, just wait until he wears a ring. Douche x 10 with all those commercials. To a lesser extent, Cuban will increase his douchiness but since he won't be on TV that often, it is more tolerable.

 

No players "deserve" a championship- Hakeem would be the first to say that- has to be earned- if Dallas is truly the best team in the league, they'll win it plain and simple. Dallas' best chance at a championship was their last final appearance- that Miami team was not as strong as this one and Dallas was, I feel, slightly better than this one (remember, at the time, Josh Howard was a beast and Jerry Stackhouse was no slouch, either), especially with a 2-0 lead. A lot of people complain about the officiating, but it was way more than that. It was Haslem containing Dirk, Wade truly playing in God mode even without the trips to the foul line, etc. This time? Miami in 7.

 

just sucks that 2 of the top 3 players in the NBA can come together, and and another top 20 player.

Wish Houston could do that. I'm not gonna lie

still kinda looks artificial tho.

 

Sure it does. As the old saying goes if you can't beat them, join them.

Team stacking has been around since the dawn of the NBA. Only a team that is stacked from top to bottom can beat a team like Miami. With three picks in the first round of the 2012 (knock on wood) draft, the Rockets should be right there with Miami. Stacked the right way.

 

we will do it the right way tho.

I'm not saying Miami did it the wrong way. I would do it that way if i could

 

That's fine and I understand that take completely. But, what I don't understand is why when going into each series, people say that Miami was going to get beat down (by the celtics, bull, and mavs). I understand that some of you guys don't like stacked teams but what I don't understand is why some of you can think that this particular stacked team isn't going to win? I'm in here defending against the haters who say the heat suck and can't beat celtics, bulls, et... and all the people who said Lebron and Wade couldn't play together. THOSE PEOPLE WERE JUST FLAT OUT WRONG AND THEY WON'T ADMIT IT.

 

lol people just want lebron to waste away in cleveland leading a bunch of bums deep in the playoffs

 

great game today, pretty much over now but i wish chicago would have won this one.

 

I realize that it is a VERY long shot, but if Chicago wins this series, that would be epic. I can picture the gifs of the celebration with 1 minute left in this game.

 

But why did you think that they wouldn't win? What that just you thinking with your heart and not your head?

 

Also, Noah was tired at the end. He's so emotional that he expends energy with his play and his emotions. He needs to tone it down and conserve energy.

 

Either that or they want him on their team. These guys would go nuts if Lebron were on the Rockets.

 

His style of play is what makes him good. The Bulls missed Asik today.

 

Sports is about hate. Saying somebody is a hater in sports is a ridiculous statement because that is what it is all about. I'm not wishing anything bad on Lebron in life but as far as on the court goes I wish him the worst. Most people knew it was over when those three teamed up but they hoped something wouldn't work out so they didn't have to believe that something would go wrong. Lebron really cheated fans out of quality basketball.

 

Dallas is much better this year than back in 06. For starters dirk has improved and is a smarter more complete player. They have a HOF pg in Kidd, Jason Terry is more battle tested. Shawn Marion is still a solid contributer and great all round player that actually plays d. The biggest difference maker for Dallas now is Chandler, he can erase mistakes made by dirk or other perimeter players. Not to mention they have fire power off the bench in Peja and JJ.

That being said it's a toss up, should the heat and mavs meet in the finals.

 

deng, boozer, noah, and bench all played great. this was the bulls' chance to steal a game. can't say the role players didn't step up for rose.

 

Lebron cheated fans out of quality basketball? Are you serious? Getting to watch him and wade play together is some of the best basketball you could imagine, watching them on defense of this ot game was a thing of beauty.

 

Doubt it. Pretty sure there is a date set in stone for the finals.
