love what I am hearing from the guys at TNT. Bulls defense and bench, and Noah will be the keys. Can't argue with that. Also said game one is a big game for the bulls! Cant argue with that. Remember we are still young! A lot of these guys have never been to the Eastern Conference Finals before! Also they posted in all of the Bulls playoff wins they allowed just 84 points a game. In their 3 losses over 97 points. Defense is going to be so important for the Bulls.
5:55 15-11 Heat Bulls 56% Heat 46% Heat 5-4 rebounding edge Rose, Bosh 5 Heat 5-5 FTA Bulls 0-0. So far that is the difference in the score.
