    LOL you are using some funny ass math there

    so let's say te first game bulls win and outrebound the heat by only 3 rebounds, how many rebounds in the second game do the bulls need to outrebound the heat by in order to win?

    look, you look at the TRENDS. since when in sports do we use a one game sample to judge everything? do you actually watch sports.

    the trend is the bulls MUST dominate their opponents on the boards to win. that's a fact. and it's the same case in the playoffs. they're unbeatable when they dominate the boards. and they're an average team when they don't. and they definitely cannot win if they lose the rebounding battle.

    over a 7 game series, for teh bulls to win 4 games, the rebounding edge advantage on average has to be very high.

    how high? outrebounding the heat by 3 is enough to beat them in a playoff game right?

    just give me a minimum number it doesn't have to be exact..

    You guys, do not forget that the Bulls have home court advantage. If this goes 7 games then the Bulls will most likely win.

    duh, you probably didn't get the memo as well.. the heats are the chosen team.. homecourt advantage don't apply to them..

    it takes a team who can outrebound them by at least 10 rebounds per game in combination with a +8 in second chance points differential in the same game.. end even if a team can accomplish this impossible feat even once, they would have to do it 3 more times..

    ..the only thing OJ Mayo can block out is his memory of sponsor gifts at USC.

    There's no big three. There are the big two and a bunch of role player including someone named Chris Bosh.

    if bulls dont' take care of the ball, they have no chance. james and wade not even doing much on offense except go on the break.

    Too much jitters for Rose to start the game. Kid's never been on this stage before.

    nice traps on rose. spo sending bosh to shut off the lane and double with spacing if they send a pick with boozer.

    good defensive strategy

    they might have bibby on him more b/c biby is giving him the rondo treatment. rose is going to take and make jumpers against bibby. i prefer that defense b/c if rose makes a few, he's going to fall in love w/ that J.

    Against the Celtics the Heat struggled early game, so far the Heat are doing fine early.
    Bad signs early for the Bulls, Bogans have issue's with Wade already..

    Exactly. The key for the Bulls is to avoid falling too far behind until they get their wits. They don't look good to me on offense or defense.
