    and let's put it this way: derrick rose is a poor man's allen iverson. i still don't get how the hell he won the MVP this year. the bulls are ALL defense and rebounding.

    mean scorekeeper, gave rose an attempt on that last fling at the end of the quarter. they usually let that go.

    Bulls didn't take advantage of this first quarter would probably be the direct reason for their early exit.

    the rose you're seeing right now is not the rose you seen in the regular season.

    To me, LeBron is the real MVP, and more so in the playoffs for the Heat. But Wade, is just different now. The other day, I said he couldn't finish around the rim as he did before, not just because of Bulls defense, but his own problem.

    and yet the bulls have still gone this far in the playoffs. i've seen this rose many times in the playoffs maybe outside of 3 games.

    he finished great vs the sixers and celtics. and he was a top 3 leader in points in he paint this year. i'm sure wade will finish around the rim just fine as we go forward in the playoffs.

    it just feels weird seeing him missing wide open dunks repeatedly though.

    however, lebron did miss like 4 gimme layups in a stretch there in the first.

    the heat were struggling mightily in general in the first.

    wade hasn't been great this series, but he did just come off averaging 30/7/5 on 53% shooting against boston while chasing allen all over the place. he doesn't have his peak athleticism any more but he just looks a little off right now.

    rose is single-handedly trying to win the game, and as a result, he's single-handedly is losing the game.

    EDIT: 10 shots and 0 assists.

    he also had 0 assist in the first half of game 3.

    wasn't pretty but wade finishes 2 in a row. and haslem is just fantastic at drawing charges. even in the few games he played in the regular season he showed how good he was (and has been his whole career).

    Maybe you guys are right, just I am not used to see Wade struggling that much to finish. Maybe he's wore out in the regular season and the first 2 rounds of playoffs. To compensate lacking of bench depth, those guys have been playing extremely hard, maybe that will show when the playoffs progress.

    I agree with some other posters in one of those threads, that this is the year Heat at the weakest, and it's the best chance for others to take them. It's just scary to think how powerful they would be, if they are more comfortable with each other and get a couple of role players.

    Lol, the Bulls offense is horrendous! Yes, Heat have defense but they are just chucking up some poor shots.

    Bulls need a play maker at the SG position desperately.
