On now. Bulls just come to play every game. Well coached, play smart and defend every possession.

It is sorta sad seeing Ray effectively defended by a power forward on the perimeter. Father Time always wins.

It works for them because they're always so active on defense and theres so much going on for the refs to follow, but at times it seems as if Noah just parks himself in the paint for 5-10 seconds at a time.

Although I actually think Wade has aged 10 years in the last two. He is completely guardable these days. He might not have many years left.

That three attempt by Wade was idiotic.

He's an awful three-point shooter and you just saw that shot coming for about three seconds before he took it.

The Bulls are the gutsiest team in sports, so much heart. Gutless by Lebron and the Heat not fouling after he missed his last shot, they all just stood there.

With this version of D-Wade, the Heat are definitely beatable. Just throw everything at LeBron. Wade has lost his jumper and when he tries to drive, he can't get off the ground, so they lose their second creator.

I dunno. Cuse was kinda gutsy, the way they hung in with us last year. They showed real pluck. How quickly we forget.

That was an awful performance down the stretch. The Heat lost composure, and the Bulls ate them up. Just wow!

Glad to see Nate-dog go off. He just blew my Ray like he was standing still. Ray is just a jump shooter now. I think this is a great team for Nate as they have bigs and good defenders to cover up his weaknesses. He should come back next year and back up D. Rose instead of going to the highest bidder. Don't be like Ben Gordon and sell your soul to the highest bidder.

It looks like that injury has really hampered wade. He's had great year though, wouldn't be surprised if he turns it around. Bulls played great, Nate rob putting up insane numbers in the post season. When's the last time jimmy butler sat on the bench ?

Unfortunately, it's likely that all the Bulls did was make the Heat mad.

The Bulls kept running the guard to guard screen with Belinelli (Ray's man) screening for Robinson and forcing the Heat to try to figure out how to defend it. The switch obviously made it too easy for Nate on the blow by. Not switching forced Ray to hedge and recover, which either meant a) a foul on Ray once or b) Ray not recovering in time and Belinelli getting a driving lane, which is how the Heat got Butler a 3 in the corner and Gibson a jumper on the weak side.

If they can't figure out how to defend that, the Heat could be forced into a personnel adjustment. Belinelli is an ok defensive matchup for Ray, but they may need to put players out there who can switch and take that screen out of the play book.

I have heard this too many times about Wade recently. It's usually followed up by a string of really good games, such as last year's playoffs against Indiana.

I don't know about mad, they seem to stay on an even keel no matter what. I don't expect them to play that poorly again and I imagine the games will flow a little more freely from here on out. That game was sort of a foul fest with not a lot of rhythym to it.

The Bulls commit the most uncalled D-3s in the league.


They are pretty bad in that regard, but I find it hard to believe they can match Indiana and Roy Hibbert in that respect.
