Uh oh... Make them shoot jumpers and you can beat them.

Yikes. The Bulls have worned Miami out tonight. DWade is going to have to guard Rose I think. And please stop playing Magloire, Miami cannot defend everything Chicago throws at them with him. I'd rather have Howard or activate Dampier than Magloire. And LBJ and Wade have to play better, they've played horrible against Chicago's defense.

Who would have thought Bosh would be the one to show up tonight.

Also, is it odd that teams always shoot a high percentage from 3 in the playoffs against LeBron? Chicago is shooting more than 20% better tonight than they usually have done so far in the playoffs. Maybe too much gambling leading to good looks?

I'd like to take back my Heat in 5 prediction. This one will take 6 games if Miami can win. Not liking what I've seen tonight, but I don't expect Chicago to shoot lights out the rest of the way either. James and Wade have to play better.

It's all about the glass IMO. 40-30 Bulls advantage. 18 offensive rebounds to 6. +23 in 2nd chance points.

Good point.

Statistically that is about right on the season. The Bulls' defense has been a constant for the season... any offensive production and they are tough to beat.

Holy crap!

That was a Mortal Kombat esque-FINISH HIM!!!!

It's good to see Taj Gibson getting some love. He's been underrated since he came in the league last year IMO. And he had some naslty dunks.

Game 2 is huge. If I'm Miami I don't let anyone but Rose beat me. I would literally say that he has to score every single point for them. I wouldn't leave anyone and I do mean every single point. DRose see if you can score 85.

Great game by the Bulls, however I do think the Heat win game 2 and take control of the series. They put so much emphasis on the Celtics series and winning that, it didn't seem like they were fully ready to play the Bulls. Now I think its safe to say the Bulls have the Heat's full attention now, and realize just because they beat the Celtics, it means nothing right now. I expect a close game in game 2, but with the Heat winning.

 

The Heat will win this series in 6 games IMO.

Said Bulls in 6 before game 1.

Will stand by that.

No way Chicago can replicate their second half performance from last night, no one was beating them with how they looked from the late third quarter on. Not saying Chicago cannot win, just saying I can't say them playing as good of game as last night, hit everything, boarded everything, then got all the breaks as well. Can't see them topping that performance.
