I believe the winner of this game will win the series.
Its going to be a great game. I sure hope the Bulls can step it up again and pull out another W.
Its gonna come down to whoever wins the first road win will advance... Predictions:
Kirk-25pts 8 ast
Gordon-18pts, 6as
Deng finally comes alive-26pts 7 rbs
Noc-14 9rbs
Allen 12 pts
Sweets 8pts
Shaq goes off w/ 27pts, DWade w/24 8ast
Chandler will be a game time decision and will only dress up... The Bulls are down by 8 in the 4th quarter and Chandler says to coach Skiles "Coach let me play... Let the best Rebounder and best Defender in the league play"... Coach looks for Ben Wallace for about 3 minutes and cant find him... so he says, "Tyson, your the next Ben Wallace except a younger version and taller, wow awesome... Get in there and get some experience!!!" Chandler gets in the court limping in one leg and Shaq draws in 5 charges against him. Also Chandler hits the game winnin shot. He studied Kobes game winning shot from sunday against the suns and he does the same thing in this game over The Diesel and ZO.
Chandler ends up w/ 2 points, 23 rbs, 31blks
Bulls win 102-101
The key to this game is for the Bulls NOT to get down big early in the game, and to not allow the Heat to get the runs at the end of quarters. If the Bulls shutdown just one of the Heats quarter ending runs, that game 4 is never in doubt.
Winner most likely will win the series, the heats crowd really got their team pumped up so this is gonna be tough, if we keep gettting shaq in foul trouble and stop Wade we should be ok and walk away with the win.
go bulls
Bulls can't win on the road in the playoffs now. Heat will win. Sorry.
The Bulls can't afford to lost this game. I don't know.. they have to play harder... I am just upset that they lost the 2 games in Miami and may lose this one. I really hope they carry some momentum over!
Heres how I see it, The Bulls in Game 1 were close all the way am I correct? And in game 2 the Bulls looked like theyd be killed but hung in there and lost a close game again am I correct?
So now that we built our confidence up with these two huge wins and Miami's confidence is WAY down I dont care what ne one says they have about zero confidence right now and there arguing with each other. Now Shaq is getting tired and thats partly a reason for the lame fouls cuz He aint getting over quick enough on help defense and hes just reaching or sticking his arm out and picking up a lazy foul. So he aint gonna be ready for game 5 or 6 because he'll be tired.
We have all the momentum on our side now and I say we pull out another win by about 10. And if we win tomorrow Miami will quit and we will win game 6 and WIN THE SERIES in 6!!
i think Schensher will come in and draw 5 fouls on Shaq and score a career playoff high, 6 points with 5 rebounds.
ben Gordon- 49/3/6
Capn Kirk 20/5/8
Pargo 50 points
The bulls will play small ball... Sweets comes in and takes out Shaq in the first play and gets suspended for the rest of the playoffs.... Shaq goes to the locker room and never returns.... and then posey gets into another fight with our floor general , Captain Kirk, and swings a punch at kirk.... but luckily kirk ducks and the punch hits Wade .... Gary Payton then gets mad at posey and does this to Posey >>>> .. and pat Riley starts and the Bulls win
Bulls 125 Heat 86
Look for the officials to give the Heat the hometown discount...they will be at the line 2x as much as the Bulls in game 5. The Bulls need to keep running. run, run, run!!! The more they run, they better the chance they have to wear down shaq and the aging Heat.
We need the consistent scoring contributions from Noch and Gordon...but Hinrich needs to shoot better. he has been very good, but he needs to be more accurate and continue to draw and dish....
I agree, whoever wins this game will probably take the series.
Two guys who i'd like to see used if the bulls are having problems are Pike and Othella.
The drive and kick offense has worked bc our big three have been hitting shots, so if they aren't pike has size at 6'7 and the three point shot to be the recipient of some nice hinrich assists and can play a little D on someone without speed. I'd like to see him come in for a 5-10 min stretch if we are struggling with our shot.
Othella only has one good offensive move, but it's taking a bigger player and shot faking him into a shotting foul. I'd like to see him come in, do that to shaq twice, and then go back to being a cheer leader.
This game comes down to shaq, again. Every game that this series continues they will be trying harder and harder to keep shaq away from fouls and every game we will have to try harder to keep him fouling if we want to win. Othella could come in and be a part of that.
We have to show we can play the kind of Defense that won games 3 and 4 on the road. Even if we lose, as long as we play good D tonight, we would have a chance in a possible game 7 in miami.
Keys...
1. START FAST
2. Finish quarters STRONG
Already one foul on shaq
Holy spiff those noisemakers are annoying
Shaq looks good and active early.
And he's getting plenty of calls, figures
Just shoved a Bulls player to get a rebound, no call. Gets touched by Tyson, foul.
looks like the officials want to give this one to the heat
bad calls, very bad
Holy hell this is ridiculous
This is freaking ridiculous miami is getting every damn call.
Deng drives, Shaq lays a shoulder into him.
FOUL ON DENG
what, no foul on the bulls?
first time in a while they haven't had a bs call on the defensive end
The moral of the story is that if you are a start and you whine enough, eventually you will reap the benefits.
Still a tie game, Bulls just gotta play their game
Dont wrry we doin good.
Good start so far for the Bulls, they have to weather the odds early and give themselves a chance to win at the end. The Bulls love the Me against the WORLD feeling.
as long as shaq dont start hitting Ft's. not much 2 worry about
nice noc we need alot of that. Take it to the whole
I really hope the Heat don't start a new trend with these noise makers. I cannot stand the noise.
Lesson one. DO NOT HELP OFF OF DWAYNE WADE
Watch the difference between the Bulls and Heat reaction when called for a foul. It's comical.
GOALTENDING!!!! :nono
Stop leaving teh freaking role players open for 3s for fucks sake
Jesus christ we keep leaving their players open on the perimeter
fish OMFG BULLS WHAT THE HELL R U DOING? GET MALIK ALLEN THE fish OUT OF THE GAME HE SUCKS!! WHY THE HELL ISNT SWEETNEY PLAYING!
Dont worry 6 points thats nothing. We got to stay under control here
How many freaking times do we need to be burned by Posey, Walker, and Williams to respect their shot from 3?
OK now finish the quarter boys! None of this Heat run crap or we'll be down 10
i hate these all white spiff
Wade sure can jump. He's the type of player that I give credit to. Shaq, on the other hand, is a complete piece of spiff and is only good because he was blessed with being massive. Oh yeah, fish the refs. Dan Jiggets called this earlier on Comcast, he thought the Heat were going to get a lot of calls going their way to start the game off, but hopefully it will level off soon. In basketball, just as in football, a penalty could be called on any play, it's up to the refs.
dam we need 2 hit these shots
bulls missing their shots
What's with the Heat players actually putting forth effort tonight? Oh well, it's only the first quarter, I'm sure they'll go back to their lazy whining ways soon enough.
atleast with all these miss shots we aint down alot
wade is here 2 play F*ck
What the hell bulls you dont want to play defense today.
nice ben take it to the hole shaq aint there
damn, wade is too good
Ben gordonnnnnn nice so nice
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Noc needs to take some shots and take it 2 the hole. Thatswhat i wanna c
bulls are starting to play a little sloppy
haha That should be our new method when we get in trouble. Just throw it really hard at the opposing players chest so it goes out of bounds.
Well that was an ugly quarter.
Down 6 after one.
Blah quarter IMO, so that's a very good sign that we can stay within 6 playing meh basketball
lmao heat getting ALL THE CALLS! And there lazy STILL its not like there driving to the basket. Shaq SHOULD be called EVERYTIME for a foul the way he throws his elbow at people. IMO Ive always thought he was Overated. Whens the last time hes ever hit a shot outside 5 feet?
Cmon bulls hang on to the ball, geez already 6 tos
Holy spiff I never knew Duhon was that fast
Hinrichs injury doesnt look to serious maybe just bruise or little shaken up.
HInrich hurt down the baseline fouling Wade, falls into the crowd, comes up gimpy.
Wow he's amazing.
Now Payton fouls Gordon, lots of fouls this game
LUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
hit these shots man.. we are rite there
come on luke damit lol
2 fouls on shaq
The good news is, when we start hitting our shots, the heat will be on the heat. Nice, Gordon causes Shaq to commit a foul.
Go to Luke Inside. No Joke, hes a 76% FG shooter for god sakes . Hes played great and bringing energy off the bench. Get Harrington out and nvr play him again, the WORST player in the NBA.
Luke needs to learn to roll to the basket out of that pick and roll screen. They are not picking him up at all, he literally has a red carpet entrance to the rim.
Also the score and the tempo of the game definately favor the Bulls. The Heat won't defend for 48 minutes. They might be playing solid D now, but it won't last. It never does.
sweet
cut it to 3
3 seconds shaq always gets alot of those.
Good to see noch got a basket.
Omg are shots keep going in and out, this is ridiculous.
Cut it to 3, but now its 7, Heat ball
Blah
How is that a travel?
Wade and Shaq do that all the time
How the fish do you miss a two hand push in the back, and call it a travel???
shaq travels all the time
don't expect that call
Hinrich:ankle sprain, will return
3 ON SHAQ!!!!
Once again the play is made by Noc abusing Walker, Shaq gets the cheapie helping out.
haha, nice suit and tie
Good God that man has humongous feet.
NOC MISSES A PAIR, WTF?
Now they are blaming all the fouls on shaqs feet that is just stupid. And this just in we cant hit any shots even free throws.
Holy spiff that was a great pass by Wade. Bulls are in a danger zone right now. Can't let the lead get much bigger then 9.
Finish the half strong and we are right back in it.
LETS GO BULLS
Bulls back within 3, Sweetney is really stepping up at a key time here.
Zo is one freaking whiny dude
One positive this first half is our defense is better this game than the first two at Miami. Just hang close until the 4th than run it at em.
Oh man this game is dsiastrous in the foul area, offensive foul on mourning, very aggravating game on both sides.
LOL Zo it's either an offensive foul or 10 seconds in the key
Offensive foul on Alonzo! Bulls trail 38-33 with about 3:15 left in the quarter. Once again they HAVE to finish the quarter by not letting the Heat get on a run.
FINISH THE HALF STRONG
NICE STUFF
NICE BUCKET
nice play
oh, but wade is down
YES!!!!!
Finally something goes our way, 2 points and one.
Also Wade is injured.
SWEETNEY WITH A KILLER BLOCK ON WADE!!!
Wade seems to be hurt
Noc gets a layup and foul on the other end, Bulls within 3 at least.
wow, looks like wade might not be back this game
HIT THE FT NOC
Guys I hate to say this, but from the replays I think Wade tore his ACL.
Bulls just gotta play their game with Wade out. Just play ball.
sweetney hittin the boards, yo!
They really have to take advantage with Wade out. The Heat have no driving threats with him gone.
w00t
down to 2
0-8 from 3 for the Bulls, ew
i hope Wade is fine, after we win the series of course.
Down 2 at the half, and we didn't even play good.
LETS GO BULLS
this game is ours for the taking
The Bulls have to guard the perimeter if Wade is out. freaking stick on Walker, Posey, and Williams like glue behind that 3 pt line
Yeah, it looked like a knee problem for Wade. That will hinder him even if he comes back. Takes away his drive and quick stops.
Halftime score
Miami 40 Bulls 38
Excellent defensive second quarter for CHicago, holding Miami to 15 points. Michael Sweetney was HUGE on both ends of the floor, getting key rebounds and getting big baskets.
FYI, Bulls outscore Miami by 3 in the last 3 minutes of the quarter.
Sweetney is doing real well, hes hitting shots and free throws and has been huge on defense.
what, Barkley thinks the Heat are getting bad calls???
lol @ Kenny Smith + Barkley.
Can someone give me a quick recap? We had a game and I missed the 1st half.
New Jersey beats Indiana
TNT just said its a left hip contusion for Wade questionable return, Barkley said he could return with an injection so we will see.
minor hip contusion.. Return Questionable
God dam I missed the whole 2nd quarter. My dad ran over the cable with the mower cuz some dumbass didnt tell us they were re wiring!
I've never seen such a scene for a bruise..
Wade grabbed teh back of his leg, weird
Fall down 7 DONT GET UP 8 MUAHAHAHA!
This is what happens when a Jumpshooting team misses their shots. Hopefully the Bulls Drive to the Basket and pick up fouls and get easier shots.
Anyone have a .gif of that block on Wade?
Let's go BULLS!!!!!!!!
Come out strong to start the half and take a lead
Payton starts second half in place of Wade.
Stay hot SWEETS
The Bulls have got to attack Shaq with the guards and try to get him out of the game again.
Wade isn't even on the bench yet FWIW>
I love watching Shaq shoot freethrows. Just like your math teacher said, the shortest distance between two points is a line.
BULLS LEAD
Nice job Ben making the extra pass
Bulls have the lead for first time since early in this game.
Toine is going to be shooting ALOT with Wade out, gotta shut him down
Noc is playing a little out of control tonight.
Settle down man, we need you
Sweets!
freaking Walker!!
Walker getting to the rim with ease. freaking cut his penetration off damnit
No foul on Shaq there?
Sweets is the man.
fish, Walker is feeling it now. Since his offense is apparently on, we need to start using the I-Pass.
Antoine Walker has made up his mind to take over teh second scorers role for Wade
There's a Trey!
Finally we hit our first three of the night that was needed badly.
Noc drops the first 3 of the game for the Bulls.
FIRST TREY OF THE NIGHT
4!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweetney!!1!!
FOUR ON SHAQ
ATTA BOY SWEETS
Foul called on shaq, his fourth foul.
bad call, that wasn't shaq that made that foul
#4.
Its run time.
Get Deng in there to guard Walker, the athletic match up is better than Noc.
What goes around comes around Shaq.
All the talk on TNT about Wade's "deep bruise" reminds me of this movie:
"Oh it's a deep burn! I don't know if you heard me counting, I did over 1,000."
Bulls D doesn't know wtf to do with Toine attacking the rim
We need to keep going to sweets downlow its working very well because we arent hitting outside shots
NOC! TIME THE fish OUT MIAMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SWEETS DOMINATING! I LOVE IT.
Nice work Bulls.
BUILD A LEAD WITH SHAQ OUT
Bulls by 5, 55-50, Pat Riley wants a TO.
Miami is completely lost without Shaq and Wade in the game.
Twist the knife boys, twist it good.
Wade is back.
They announced Dwyane Wade's name like 3 times.
Dare I say play physical with Wade? Not in a dirty way, obviously.
Stat of the night
Miami 13-29 from the "free" throw line
Ben Gordon is such a smart passer...........................................................
Wade was hobbling out there, he shouldnt be in this one but Im not gonna complain putting pressure on it wont help.
Turnovers kill. Two in a row is really not good. Play smart Bullies.
Dengs shots wont go in they are all taking the toilet roll goin in and out.
Wade going to the line to tie it.
Feel a little tide turning. Let's go Bulls
FINISH THE QUARTER STRONG
Wade to the free throw line...
Noc and Sweets with 4 fouls
Tie game, 3:30 left in the 3rd
bulls playing sloppy again
Gordon 2-12, disgusting
It's beginning to look a lot like the 1st quarter.
WOWOW Antoine Walker is just abusing this team
This is beginning to look like the Walker that used to score alot on the Celtics.
Deng now with 4 fouls too.
Shaquielle Walker.
Mourning and Shaq both with 4 fouls good to see their big players are in foul trouble.
Bulls go really small now with Du, Kirk and Pike on the floor.
Time out, game tied at 55, Deng to the line for two. 2:56 left in the 3rd....
Close it out tough Bulls.
FINISH THE QUARTER STRONG
How is Walker beating us off the dribble? My god DENG PLAY DEFENSE OR TAKE HIM OUT!! Walker is the slowest guy on the floor and yet he is still getting to the basket. I sense the bulls are looking very tired and lazy right now. If I were Miami id take advantage of that. If I were the Bulls, YOU BETTER REALIZE IF YOU WIN THIS GAME YOU MAY WIN THE SERIES SO STEP UP!!
You want fouls? We got em.
Chicago- Nocioni, Deng, and Sweetney 4 each
Miami-ONeal and Mourning 4 each
Deng and Walker miss pairs each.
Sry im late guys, im in!
illegal pick
stupid play
Bulls scoreless for 4 minutes
wow.
even missing layups
LUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE BANK IS OPEN
GIVE THE BALL TO LUKE!
Is it me or have there been an obscene amount of illegal picks set this series on both teams?
Wow Bulls struggleling....
THATS JUST freaking WEAK
To let Posey get that, not bad defense, freaking WEAK
This game is just making me angry, too many damn fouls the bulls are making and we are not hitting our shots, keep attacking whoever wade is on to make him run and go downlow while shaq is out its not that difficult.
soooo many fouls this game
Luke is KILLING us. In a two pocession span he managed to be afraid to dunk, brick a free throw, brick another free throw, not block out his man, give up a lay up, and foul a guy on the offensive rebound.
c'mon Kirk! make these free throws!! Ewww misses first.... makes second
lets go Kirk, take over. Nice jump shot there bud
LOL ref calls the foul after the ball goes out good job
OOuuu Kirk is mad now... Kirk plays best when he's mad
that was ugly
61-61 After 3..... Just 12 more minutes....
This game is nearly unwatchable. If the Bulls weren't playing I would have turned the game off long ago. Fouls on nearly every possession and no offensive flow at all is not why I watch basketball.
45 freaking fouls have been called through 3 quarters. Unreal
Tie game after 3.
Talk about a swing game...
HUGE 12 MINUTES. Whoever wins this quarter wins the series imo.
Tie game 61-61 this is where it counts we need to stop shaq and walker and make our shots and come out with the win.
Wow. Time running out in the third and Kirk isn't even looking at the hoop. Yuck.
Anyways, ball game tied at 61, 12 minutes left to decide this one!!!
Bulls are playing ugly right now... i had a feeling we were dur for a bad game...
how many fouls does Chandler have?
We need to bring sweetney in and Chandler bout mid way through the 4th for some EXTREME DEFENSE!! Sweets will grab us some offensive rebounds. I hate the way Deng is playing, showing why Rookie playoff players dont perform well. Skiles should sit him the rest of the game, hes a liability now even ON DEFENSE. No offense but if he is letting walker drive to the basket, then he isnt playing hard defense. I know he can play better than this.
Noc Kirk or Ben MUST step up and grab a moderate to a big lead early here to put pressure on Miami as they should start missing shots. GO BULLS WIN THE FREAKING GAME!!!!!
Gordon has played a spiff game.
ITS freaking BEN TIME
thanx
Nice way to start the 4th bulls real nice.
5 on Sweets...
-Blocked
-Heat Basket
-Offensive foul
Not a good start at fuckin all
This is gonna get really ugly.... the bulls are gonna get down by 10 watch....
Whenever I see Atoine Walker shoot, I smile.
It's like watching 7th graders shoot tonight.
Nevermind.. Both teams lucking ugly
cmon, Duhon, you need better shot selection right now.
boo
We would be down 10 if they could freaking shoot.
They have had a beautiful look every possesion.
LETS freaking GO BULLS
THIS IS freaking PATHETIC THE BULLSS DESERVE TO LOSE THIS GAME.. THEY SUCK freaking ASS. Jesus
What the hell are we doing? Missing shots and leaving posey wide open.
Neither team can play defense or hit a jump shot right now. This is just ugly. I wonder if this is fatigue from 5 tough games, or just nerves.
Somebody needs to show some fire out there... i wanna see skiles get a technical or something.....whos w/ me??!!!
they're not getting any help from dick bavetta and co. They are not calling the same fouls on both sides. Lots of phantom bs against the bulls, yet the bulls dont get the same calls. happens everytime with superstar slurper bavetta
We need Ben back in the game, we have no rhythm on offense.
Dont care how bad he is doing anything else. I want him in.
Wade will take over the game and the Bulls will get Blown out the way they are playing. Sweetney and Deng pathetic bone head plays that shouldnt happen. Get DENG the fish OUT OF THE GAME HE SUCKS
Threw it away.
WAKE UP BULLS
Payton floater, down 6
WTF ARE WE DOING OUT THERE
They're tightening up right now, especially on O. gut check time.
they're falling apart.
Game OVER BULLS LOSE BIG!!
Im pretty close to turning this off....
Down 8.
freaking awesome way to start the biggest quarter of the year.
ohh noo... here comes the crowd....
spiff
10pt game...
falling apart
Doubt digits...............
WOWOWOWOWOWOWQOWO
We just freaking spiff our pants in the most crucial part of the series.
DISGUSTING
This one is over we are showing no heart out there, cant hit any shots at all. Either change something now or we are in a big hole.
please stop giving the ball to malik allen.
down by 10, we have completely falen apart here in the first 4 mins.
Haha this is so freaking pathetic, if we dont win this game We lose the series. I think we are tired and obviously not making shots. The Heat are just the better team and thats why they win this series. Dissapointing that we came all this way to lose.
