    Not for very long, mind you, and never to the level of Michael Jordan-caliber wizardry. Those moments are gone forever. But for the first time in the post-MJ era, the Chicago organization he sometimes bad-mouthed on his way out of town almost a decade ago finally looks ready to win a playoff series without him.

    The almost-believe-a-Bulls thumped the Miami Heat 107-89 Tuesday night to take a 2-0 lead. During stretches, they moved the ball so fast and so smartly that it looked like they were staging a clinic for the benefit of the NBA defending champions. And unlike Game 1, they beat the Heat so thoroughly that complaining about the refs wasn't an option.

    "It was a perfect game today," Miami's Shaquille O'Neal said. "Can't really make any excuses."

    It's easy to look good when a team shoots the ball as well as Chicago did -- 55 percent from the field; 65 percent behind the arc -- for the game.

    "They were on fire," Miami guard Dwyane Wade said. "They came out in the second half and just put in everything they put up. We got it down to 7, but then they made a run. Then we did it again, but they just continued to make their shots." </div>

    Bulls still have to keep focus, because we were up 2-0 against the Wizards 2 years ago and we lost that series.

    We weren't half as strong as we are now. Don't worry too much. [​IMG]
