    Because their "strong opinions" are based off hate and not based on sound basketball knowledge and reasoning.

    We shouldn't cancel the series but we also shouldn't be ignorant and say things like "bulls in 6". We all know that isn't happening.

    So everyone who picks the Bulls must hate the Heat.

    Thats stupid because the Bulls does have a chance to win the series.

    No, I've probably heard enough. Heat win by default for all eternity because they are teh awesome and everyone else who says otherwise is a hater. That's the vibe I've felt all season.

    No I don't think they will sweep the bulls, but I'm pretty confident that it won't go past 6 games. I'll put any amount of money you want to bet that the Heat win it in 6 or less games. Vegas feels the same way.

    I hope they try putting Lebron on DRose again. That worked out well. :rolleyes:

    Bulls in 5. They simply have not peaked in this post season, and looked like they were beginning to these last 2 games. The Bulls also have a much better attitude than Miami. I think if the Bulls get under Miami's skin, the Heat will crumble hard.

    Also, a few things to remember:
    Season MVP
    Coach of the year
    Home Court Advantage - NBA's best record
    #1 Defense
    #2 Rebounding
    Chicago has beaten the Heat when the "big 3" have scored a combined 70 points.
    Chicago has beaten the Heat without Noah.
    Chicago has beaten the Heat when DRose isn't the Bulls' top scorer.

    I know this is regular season talk, but you can't discredit it completely. We all knew the Spurs were trash and the Lakers were cocky.


    Plus, I think the Heat have some voodoo curse on them, preventing them from making it to the finals this year. Cause ya know...voodoo is real.

    Yet you could argue that both Wade and James are better players than Rose at this point in time.
    Both teams play top-notch defense.
    Miami took care of business in Boston when they needed to. This is one of those teams that can get it done on the road. They have the personnel to do that with.
    The Bulls may have the #1 defense, but Miami isn't bad, and I would argue that Miami's perimeter defense is better. Chicago's interior is nothing to be scared of anyway.
    The "Big three" can score more than 70 anyway. James and Wade often do that alone.
    Everyone said that Boston would roll over Miami, but it didn't happen that way, so you're right, it's regular season talk.
    Chicago didn't look all that great against Atlanta anyway.

    lol@Wade and James scoring 70 combined points often...

    And how did they not look that great vs. ATL? Because they didn't sweep them? All their wins were by over 10 points. Indiana gave them a harder time.

    They can't even guard Danny Granger, you are overrating them.

    The xfactor is Noah. Heat have no one who can match his size. this will be the first series in the playoffs that the lack of size comes back to haunt them. that being said, I'm taking the Heat in six, they will d up on rose and deng and force boozer to play well. i don't think he will.

    nevermind you said you were confident that the heat would destroy the bulls but you have bulls winning 2 games..

    destroy for me is either sweep ala mavs vs lakers or 5 games ala heat vs celtics

    I'm talking relatively

    could Pierce would have done a better or worse 1-on-1 defensive job on Granger ?

    I'd put $ down that this series will go more than 5 games either way
