ADVERTISEMENT The Chicago Bulls had one against Washington in the first round and blew it. And now, they have one against defending champion Miami. The Bulls remember what happened the last time they led 2-0 in a playoff series, and they know what happened the last time the Heat dropped the first two. They're in a good position as this first-round series shifts to Miami for Game 3, but they realize they're only halfway to advancing. "We have a little confidence right now, but they are the champions," Nocioni said. Both teams know 2-0 leads can be shaky, even if the statistics say otherwise. </div> more
The media is just looking for a flaw with the Bulls right now, so they can give the Heat the upper hand in the series once again. I guarantee if we win game three, but don't close out in game four the media will be all over Miami despite them being down 3-1. Anyway, I have said it since the beginning of the series Bulls in five, we win the first in Miami, lose the second (hope not but my guess), and close out at home.
I do not see it as them giving the Heat anything. In fact, it raises the Bulls awareness knowing that they can still lose it, it'll make us play our game and not get all slack.
That was 2 years ago deng and curry were injured. the team has improved depth wise. Our players are twice as good as they were then. Lets also not forget that was a team full of rookies. And the world sees the poise that they now have. Plus the addition of ty Wallace and brown on interior d. we are more long and atheletic. this aith that same team. These guys belive that they can win it all. these guys dont blink they are focused. I know that miami is going to be a challenge but we will win game3 game for is up in the air. We will sweep or win in 5.
I think this series is the Bulls to win. They're outplaying the Heat in everything. They're offense is better, the defense is better, they're hustling for loose balls, everything. The Heat have really showed their age in the playoffs, and the injury to Wade is really hindering him, despite what he'll say. I think the Heat will win one, but this series should be over in five. And on a sidenote, ESPN is actually being kind of opposite. On Sportscenter yesterday, they were making it sound like the Heat were done for.
