    Magic's new word is Techniko

    He can't pronounce technical... and even called it a teckiko once

    i don't know. this first half feels just like a higher-scoring version of the first half of game 1. the heat come out with milwaukee-level intensity. lebron plays a very subpar first half. wade still looks broken. and the heat don't seem in synch. the heat seem to still think they can just flip the switch, but they can't against this bulls team. this bulls team doesn't play offense against the heat the way they do against other people. they are almost always sharp and almost always hit jumpers at a higher rate than they do against other teams, even when the heat are playing good D. when the heat are lackadaisical, the bulls shred them.

    and i'm not sure people understand what a flop is. mohammed is a 7-footer and lebron wasn't even looking at him when mohammed gave him a full 2 hand shove in the chest. it would be suprising if he didn't fall down. and the battier charge on boozer was kind of obvious. all the time boozer just tries to go through the defender and sometimes he gets called for the charge. battier just stood there and boozer went straight through him. plus, boozer is very strong in the post and when he hits people they get knocked back, even when they are digging in.

    wow...suprised that this game is still very competitive...shaping up a lot like game 1...Miami is playing the Bulls style of BBall...and can be at risk of losing...2-1 is not where Miami wants to be...

    Clear path not called on Robinson.
    Travel not called on Butler leading to Boozer's 3 point play.
    Offensive foul not called on Robinson.

    All in the last couple of minutes.

    This is some damn nice home cooking for the Bulls.

    Of course this would happen with my money being on Miami.

    like i said, the bulls hit shots they don't hit against others. that butler 20 footer with lebron all over him to beat the shotclock was ridiculous and right after that nate hits a 27 footer that wasn't even a good shot.

    and i have no idea how the refs missed that clear path foul. not only was it obvious watching it live (even the announcers were sure) but the refs can look at a replay if they want to be sure and they refused to. it was like they were actively trying to make the wrong call.

    Nate is making himself a ton of money with this post season performance.

    lebron shooting poorly, wade not being able to get a shot off, chicago playing with a ton of confidence. very much like game 1. with the wild card that is nate robinson i would expect a similar result. miami is going to have to start coming out with more energy in these games.

    Bulls are suffocating the Heat. This is how you beat them, by cutting down penetration and making them jumpshooters. Miami needs to post up bosh more.

    belinelli called for a foul after receiving clear push from james.
    few bad calls against both teams, but overall it's pretty good officiating so far.
