Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread We have the 3rd easiest schedule left! Does Riley take over as coach of the Heat?
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread Anybody have any other questions about this team? Anyone? That was just...swell.
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread If we had a good SG, someone that demands respect, we would be top 2 in the league! Spurs deserve #1 ranking so far.
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread Wow. What a game. I thought the Miller foul on Deng was questionable at the end but calls go to the aggressor -- that'll happen in regular season and playoffs. MVP type game for Rose, I think he sealed the deal today. Thibodeau was really pumped up at the end, in a way that we haven't previously seen him. I really hope the Bulls can close their schedule out and grab the first seed from the Heat. I think the Bulls beat them in a seven game series but it certainly will take a lot of energy out of them. Oh, and is Hubie Brown a Bulls homer? I felt like he was actively rooting for the Bulls the whole game . . . which is nice since so much of the rest of ABC-ESPN broadcasts are Heat centric.
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread Awesome game! I wonder how our schedule compares to Boston's to close out the season. I agree the call for Deng at the end was in our favor........I sure was surprised. Did Bosh hold Boozer on that Chalmers layup? God, I sure hope so.
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread WindhorstESPN Brian Windhorst Spoelstra said some Heat players are crying in the locker room at the moment.
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread Every coach in the world who's not named Spoelstra is for the Bulls over the Heat. This is because they all have this odd notion that it's supposed to be a team game. Here's to you coaches everywhere
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread When the Bulls go out 6 at the end, ABC shows 3 great plays by Rose and 3 misses by Lebron. Jinx That was basically reversed in the next 6 plays. So Heat down 1 with 15 seconds left and ABC shows the 1-14 graphic. I'm yelling "NOOOOOOOOOOOO...take down that graphic..." I thought we were screwed for sure. Nice win!
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread What a bunch of mush heads. It almost takes away from the win that these guys are such babies. But it was still pretty fun!
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread I've had this idea in my mind, which I can't seem to shake, that the Bulls are going to have to win 60 to grab that one seed. That's going 17-4 down the stretch, which is possible, but hard as hell. The Bulls are better now, with Noah somewhat reintegrated, than they have been all season and they have a modest schedule to close out the season. I'm not anticipating that they close 17-4 but it's certainly not impossible.
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread I am sure Hubie loves the way the bulls play. If Rose isn't MVP, Thibs has to be coach of the year and Pax/Forman Executives of the year. It's kind of ironic that LBJ left Cleveland in large part because he never had a star caliber teammate. But other than Wade, everybody he left in Cleveland is better than everybody he is with in Miami.
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread Do you think that helps or hurts Chrissy Bosh's chance for the WNBA MVP?
