[Eastern Conference Semi-Finals] Miami vs. Chicago

Jimmy Butler played all 48 and had 21 points and 14 boards while holding LeBron down all game.

I think once Kobe's "boy who cried wolf" routine finally caught up with him and he got a real injury, a piece of David Stern died inside. The rigging has been noticeably less evident in these playoffs.

 

Isn't Jimmy Butler the name of the kid in Hoosiers?

 

i sure hope so clippy.

 

nope..Jimmy Chitwood

If we can't get rid of McHale, hopefully we add one of Thibodeau's assitants to the team, to run the defense.

Watching this Bulls team, and then watching the Rockets' with all the strep throats, lack of defense, muscle contusions, lack of ball movement, lack of accountability. They need better coaching...and fast. Need to teach em while they're young.

 

You would think that they would hire a seasoned coach for the youngest team in the NBA. But, they hire someone who's also relatively "young" as a coach and who didn't have a good showing in his first coaching stint and was let go by his previous employer.

 

*keep

 

The Heat tried to flip the switch on too late. They'll learn from this and win 4 straight. I think my prediction is still good with Heat in 5. They just have to realize that they can't flip the switch against anyone, they're the defending champs so everyone's going to try to play their best game against them.

 

Now I hope Deng and Heinrich return.

 

Ron Adams isn't about to leave the Bulls to come to Houston. When it comes to defense, it's not fair to the rest of the NBA he and Thibs are on the same staff.

 

This series is similar to Memphis/OKC except it's even more certain the Heat will win the next 4 in-a-row.

 

I don't see Miami winning the next 4 if Wade plays like he did today which I could see happening again.

Lost in all of this Bron bashing is Wade and Bosh were terrible.

 

I think people forget how good Durant is. You think the thunder have no chance. Come on man

 

Memphis will figure them out. You'll see.

 

Nah, Thunder in 5
