Da Bulls will get to the Eastern conference finals and maybe...

[FJP]

As a Bulls fan this series worries. Even without Lebron we did not beat the Heat convincingly. This is definitely one series that Rose cannot win alone.. The Key to this series is the Chicago front court. During the season we outrebounded the Heat by over 10 per game. Cannot let free drives happen in the lane. No lapses...force jumpshots. ON offense Boozer has to do his damn job.

Far as those jumpshots its as everybody in the league already knows you gotta hope Bron and Wade miss those jumpers because when they have the jumper going you can't stop them at all...

The OP was right......

I know. It turned from opinion to fact.

True...but this is a new season my dude. Either the Bulls are gonna play better or theyll play worse. Its yet to be seen. Keep in mind that they have no one to guard Rose. Rose was scoring all over Wade, Bosh and Lebron. So who they gonna put on him Bibby? They gonna take Lebron off Deng and put him on Rose....that'll be fine with me.

Like I stated before...the unknowns of the Heat and the Bulls is whats gonna determine if the Bulls or Heat win the series or not. Wade and Bron wil get their 25+...Bosh is up in the air. Rose is gonna get his 25+ ...bad shooting percentage or not. Deng is the next most consistent player...but after him then what? Boozer has been playing great these last 3 games and thats mainly because Tom Tibby finally woke the fuck up and tweaked his rotations and actually called some offensive plays that didnt always depend on Rose to score off screens.

Most teams have it in their heads that all they have to do is shut down Rose/make him have a bad night and the Bulls wil lose. But theres been plenty of times when Rose had a bad game and we stil won; Mainly because of our defense and the role players that most people dont give credit to.

Even if we lose game 1 on Sunday I wouldnt be worried. The Bulls know how to adjust well. The Heat have two great players...lol.... but theyre not invincible.

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

Is he really??? I would love to see their numbers matched up for the playoffs so far. I gaurantee Boozer has averaged about 2 more boards and only 2 less points. It can't be too far off. and I'm sure it would be safe to average 4 flops per game for Bosh when guarding Boozer... dude is softer then a paper mache statue. Not to Mention Boozer / Taj are way more consistant then Bosh / Howard (I guess that's backup PF)

I just checked NBA.com

Rebounds:
http://www.nba.com/statistics/playe...itScope=GAME&qualified=Y&yearsExp=-1&splitDD=



Bosh scores 6 more points than Boozer but plays 9 more minutes.

Boozer averages 3 more defensive rebounds but 5 less offensive rebounds. But that'll be alright because Joakim Noah got the most offensive rebounds out of everybody this postseason, including Howard, Marc Gasol, and Bynum.

The game's going to come down to who can get the most rebounds and second chance points and that's why I think Noah will be the key to this series. The more offensive rebounds/second chance points we get, the less likely we'll see Lebron and Wade get easy points off the fast break.

Boozer and Bosh are about neck-and-neck on rebounds. Joel Anthony ain't shit on the boards compared to Noah. I'm confident our big men can out-rebound theirs so all they gotta do is force the offense to take some bad shots and get some good looks on offense and we good.

 

[Chi Shot Caller]

When you match Chi and Mia up we are pretty even.

PG - Chi
SG - Mia
SF - Mia
PF - Tie

Keep in mind that Boozer has been playing with turf toe and getting in foul trouble a lot. So that makes Bosh look even more unimpressive.

The Heat do score a lot of fast break points....but they mainly scored a lot of FB points in the playoffs because the teams that they faced couldnt stay in front of them..i think the Bulls can.

Their half court offense aint that bad either. Wade and Bosh can hurt you around the perimeter. The Bulls defense is better around the perimeter than the paint. Thats why I stated that a player like Bosh may be dangerous if he heats up. Especially if Tom doesnt have the right player on the floor defending him

If Tom has the right players playing together on the floor then grabbing boards and getting second chance points wont be a problem.

As for Noah grabbing boards...he plays great when he's used properly. He doesnt have great games when he's always setting high screens for Rose and then looking like a deer caught in headlights when Rose doesnt get free or when he has to help Boozer defend all the damn time. Its hard to pay attention to grabbing boards and picking up garbage points when you have to bail your teammate out because he aint trying to defend his player.

Tom should keep those two from playin together as much as possible IMO. They both play much better when they dont play together. Its been like that all season.

I expect Taj Gibson and Kurt Thomas to play major roles in this series. Bosh is soft and can be contained. I honestly dont think Bron or Wade can be stopped right now...slowed down maybe..but not stopped.

Bottom line is the Bulls have a TEAM..Miami doesnt. I acknowledge Wade and Bron..thats it! If we play like we know how to play i.e team basketball then this series wil be over in 5 or 6.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Beatdowntapes fuck outta here

 

[callbacc]

Damn,who would have thought....... OP shut me up & I'm from the Chi

 

[BrownTurd]

You cant admit that the majority of the Heats scoring in the last two series have come from Wade and Bron...and sometimes Bosh? Go look at the stats.

Like I said....the only thing that scares me about the Heat are the unknowns. Everything else about the Heat is predictable at this point. Wade..... Bron and sometimes Bosh. But things might change

Ill congrats the Heat if they beat us. But until then GL

Bulls in 5 or 6

Bosh scores 20pt a night and grab 12 boards.

keep dreaming....you drinking the kool-aid for real. The Bulls can't score and that will be your problem. Miami may smash the Bulls for that reason. A tie at the power forward position?....are you kidding me? Bosh is way better then Boozer and it is not even close. Noah scores 20 a night on limited shots. If given offensive sets he easily goes for 25 plus.

The Bulls are a one man team. Who other the Rose can create their own shot?

 

[dolemite73]

are you kidding me? Bosh is way better then Boozer and it is not even close.

Really?

[Durty]

We beat up on the Heat all year whats the difference now? Except the whole team is healthy right now

 

[BDR]

Im convinced chitownheadbusa is a clown and starting to sound like beeii.

You achknowledge wade and bron as the only 2scoring options yet u fail to mention in your long ass nonsense of a post that both players can get their teammates in the game dishing the rock and getting boards collecttively between the 2.
Bron drives to the rim u collaspe now u gotta worry about wade being open, u focus on him..

All them other niggas open.


Shady stfu

Hey genius tell us how yall beat up on the heat all year when boty games came down to the wire?

 

[Durty]

What was the score of both games and who won? Dont get mad at me fam Im stating the facts

 

[BDR]

What was the score of both games and who won? Dont get mad at me fam Im stating the facts

Ok

First game score was 99-96 chicago
Second game was 93-89 chicago
Third game was 87-86 chicago

U call that beating up on an opponent? You do know Boston beat MIA the first 3 reg season games to right? But have ur glory its a new season now and this one counts.

 

[runteldat]

NEXT!

 

[FJP]

People keep saying the Bulls can't score enough like Miami is getting 115 per game. Outside of the Big 3 the team is average like 10 ppg. Honestly if Wade and James average 30 I think that's good for the Bulls because that most likely means no role players are involved.

 

[Mt. Yukon]

Ok Beatdown... Now we cool and all, but you talking kinda reckless. Im not gonna front like MIA aint a problem, but lets not act like the Heat ain 2 weeks removed from looking real shaky themselves. Im gonna put it out there cause it seems like people arent bringing it up... MIA beat Boston cause they didnt match up well after Perk. Boston is old, unathletic and ran outta gas in EVERY game and MIA pulled away late...Lets also stop actin like Bron and Wade have morphed into Craig Hodges and Ray Allen from deep. They knocked down some tough Js, but that aint the norm and you know it. If one of your stars starts jackin up 3s and aint hitten then is goin right back the other way and Bron cant chase down all of them. It was the perfect storm and now the Heat look like world beaters but they aint... Its gonna be a hell of allot closer than people wanna think... The Bulls may need more shit to fall their way, but they Can beat MIA...

 

[unknownsoldier]

I do not see them getting past the second round.

Bulls come out of one of the deepest free agent markets with nothing.

Noah is not a center but a power forward playing center.Bulls go out and pick up another power forward in Boozer.

Korver led the league in 3 pt percentage but averaged 7 ppg.

Bulls won't get out the 2nd if they make it that far.

What's this second round bullshit. these fucks will not make the playoffs and i'm from chicago. Sorry fucke still trying to hang on to deng, gave up kirk for NOTHING lost gordan last year got NOTHING. And you got a new coach and didn't get shit from the free agent market but boozer and u nigga's think they can make a push. they are in the same shape as cleveland.


And chicago fans are so use to mediocrity that they think rose and noah are the truth fuck outta here! anothe losing season for another chicago teams. You can line thses pussies up right behind the bears and cubs.

you would be better off watching the fucking fire this year.
and real talk i'm not sure if these fuck could hales high school team.

Maybe not. But i'm not handing the Heat shit until I see them play. There's only one basketball. You can fill the team up with Wades if you want give me the team with the star player and solid role players over the team with 3 MVP contenders. Heat aren't going to live up to the hype. I can already see it now. Niggas going to be labeling Lebron a choker and shit.

Bulls got a TEAM on them. As the Thunder proved last season you can't just concede shit. They gave it to them Lakers and the Bulls can give it to them Heat. Will they beat them? I don't know. But the Bulls can potentially make noise this year. I wish they would've done more than bring in Boozer but the offseason is still going.

The Bulls got a nice team. I would prefer a better 2 guard, but they can get done what needs to be on the defensive end to beat the heat. They have more athletic bigs that will clog the paint & can stay in front of guys on the perimeter. How quickly niggas forget the 76ers were out there playing with them boys. I think it's going to be an interesting series & if the Bulls get their way defensively...they'll advance.

Im not talkin reckless at all Yukon its that nigga chitownheadbusa... Duke been shittin on mia from day 1, he was just much more nicer about it.

You know me man I gave props and respect due to the bulls from the outset. But lets say the Celtics keep Perk, I dont think it wouldnt have mattered cause the 3times the celtics beat mia Perk didnt play.

We been sayimg all yer come april and may boston gonna run out of gas, them old niggas cant hold up. U saw what that 3 days of rest game them after going down the first 2 games.. Niggas llegs was like new.

Now as far as bron and wade whats their fg %? More times than not they will get the outside shot going, but even if they have bad shooting games they do other intangible things.

Listen its going to be a great series especially how they played each other during the season but you got niggas in here talking about how the bulls whooped on the heat when that is far from the case

That's why I don't get people saying losing Perk was such a big deal...with him there, this was going to happen. Their three best players had tread on the tires before coming to Boston, since coming to Boston they've added more tread including a couple of trips to the Finals. They were doomed to fall off this season with or without Perkins, with him as their biggest chip...they made a move. Jury out on if it was the right move.

He called his shot early didn't he?

I think the run ends here though.

DRose is just too inefficient (although last night was some beautiful shit by him)

Boozer is boozin....

Noah is tough, but Anthony and Juana man is tougher.

 

[Durty]

Ok beat up or not man they still beat the Heat all 3 games this year. PERIOD. When you look at the books it doesn't say who almost won. Niggas been throwing hate at the Bulls all season like they got this far off of luck.

Best record in the league!
Coach of the year!!
MVP!!!

Its not a fluke we here

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

When you match Chi and Mia up we are pretty even.

PG - Chi
SG - Mia
SF - Mia
PF - Tie
C - Chi

And Bench and coaching - Chi

PF position aint a tie. Belongs to Bulls
I got Boozer over Bosh. Boozer struggles against big athletic guys. Bosh is soft on Defense.

Bosh scores 20pt a night and grab 12 boards.

Boozer was almost a 20 and 10 guy during the regular season and he didnt even play a full season. If Tom Tibby knew how to use Boozer or if Noah wasnt clogging up the lane more times than not then Boozer could be utilized much better. You noticed how Boozer played better last night when he had plays ran for him and when Noah wasnt on the floor? Tom Tibby is my ninja. Defensive master mind imo.....but he has a lot to learn when it comes to running an offense. Like Phil Jackson..he just needs that Tex Winters type coach riding shotgun with him to push him over the top.

Anyways..Bosh is 16 and 9 in the playoffs. And while Boozer has been playing with a turf toe and playing bad more times than not His stats aint that far off from Bosh's in the playoffs....which makes Bosh look unimpressive like I stated before.

Wade and Bron are the only one's that I acknowledge and show respect to on the Miami Heat...mainly because theyre the main one;s producing night end and night out. Even if Bosh wasnt on the floor you all stil probably wouldve beat the two teams that yall beat with Wade and Bron alone. Send a message to your teams management during the off season to use Bosh as trade bait if they wanna make the Heat a Dream Team.

Out of your entire team the Big 3 (or the Big 2) has scored more than 75% of your points. Wil you admit that you dont have a team? Wil you admit that even though the Bulls dont have 3 superstars like the Heat they do have more depth than the Heat.

Its true that the Bulls may have ONE consistent superstar...but that ONE superstar aint the reason that they are where theyre at. So chill with the one man team BS. Someone has helped Rose either offensively or defensively every night all season. Ive either been to or seen every Bulls game this season...you just watch ESPN (which has been understandably riding Rose nutz all season) then you come on BGOL and type.

Im convinced chitownheadbusa is a clown and starting to sound like beeii.

like Beeii???
Lord Jesus!

lol

Im a humble dude. Call me D Rose part 2 or some shit...lol
I dont dislike the Heat..I show respect to what theyve accomplished. Some of the shit I type is kinda like trash talk...but thats needed imo. Makes the series more fun to watch when you know that theres others watching that hope your team loses. Beeii was like a naggin bitch...but when it pertains to BGOL wil you admit that his trash typing made the wins versus his team more satisfying?

BTW....Go read some of the replies.....more Heat fans type BS about the Bulls than Bulls fans type about the Heat. I understand that we've havent been that impressive in the playoffs...but like ive stated before If PEOPLE ACTUALLY WATCHED THE BULLS DURING THE SEASON then they wouldve noticed that we're playing like we've been playing all year!! Up and down.....one man offensive show one night...team effort the next. Thats the type of team that we are.. We're not gonna blow anyone out night end and night out, but we are capable of grinding it out and beating some of the best.

If the Heat beat us Ill gladly give them props and wish them luck in the Finals.

anyways....
GL TO YOUR TEAM.. May he best team win!

and while people talk about LeBron being out one of those games I guarantee Boozer and Noah played together one of those games at most... Remember when ya boy Bosh soft ass went like 1-17 from the field on Kurt Thomas old ass I believe lol

I really haven't seen the Bulls play that often thats why it is hard to comment on how they will do however.....from the little I have seen thus far:

Rose has heart from the little I have seen...but he seems to be inefficient and somewhat one dimensional.Wade blocks shots, steals,assists, rebounds, and scores as does LeBron. Rose jumpshot is wildly inconsistent as well.

What I see about the Bulls is that crazy defense. They play every possession as if they are in the last two minutes of the game with a one point lead.

Thibs will bench your ass for missing defensive assignments as well...I love him as a coach so far.....

The Heat will have their hands full because they get complacent at times. They cannot do that against the Bulls.

For some reason....DWade does not usually play that well in Chicago....

I have the Heat in 5.

 

[Chi Shot Caller]

I don't get all of these MIA fans acting like their team are world beaters because they beat Boston's old ass with home court advantage in 5 like the Bulls wouldn't have done the same shit. The only reason ATL gave us any type of problem is because of their athleticism... Just like Phi with Mia. The Bulls would've murdered Bostons old ass just the same and Rose would've had them fools looking silly ESPECIALLY with a beaten up Rondo and trash at Center. We would've averaged 10 more reb then them every single game.

How can you say Rose's jumpshot is wildly inconsistent but not mention 2 of the streakiest shooters in NBA history in Wade and James? Rose had a better 3pt percentage then both of them this season over a very large sample size.

Streakiest shooters in NBA History?

Haven't watched the Bulls a lot for most of the season however for the post season:
3 point shooting
Rose=.254

Wade = .250

LeBron = .359

So it seems Wade and Rose are about even....

However

Rose (3 point attempts to makes)
Rose= 71 18

Wade 24 6

James 39 14


In other words :

Wade and Jame combined three point attempts are at 63

Rose has taken more threes than the two of them combined.(71)

Now with the way Chicago rebounds and defends they have been able to get away with this.

We'll see how it goes....

This is not hating on your team....I am from Chi Town but now live in the MIA.

I just am not a fan of shot jacking when your shit isn't falling.

Aint nobody acting like anything I called it from jump mia and chi will battle for the ecf title..

But what problems Philly gave Mia? Last I check Philly was beaten soundly in the reg season and playoffs


And dispite the pacers having no real go to player they competed with the bulls... Im taking nothing away from the bulls they have a crew but you have to understand the hate for the heat was and still strong. Just like the Bulls where people didnt expect them to be in the ecf, the hate for the heat people and a entire city preying for lebron and the heat downfall so them being in the ecf both teams such a lot of their critics up..

Win or lose both teams came to play all season so they deserve much respect
