Tonight the Bulls can show how good of a team they are. Especially after this bad defensive game at Toronto.

Go Bulls!

If you don't bring the D tonight, Miami is dropping 115+ on you.

 

Reports are the UC is 'rockin.

 

That's ok if we score 120.

 

I threw a bet down on Miami so I have to root for them. Sorry guys :[

I want ya'll to win, but I think Miami is about to hit a scary stretch run right now.

 

Boozer gets blocked by Bosh

 

Boozer scores on the break, gets fouled

FTA made it. Up 3

 

Noah fouled down low

FTA split the pair

 

Boozer scrores, gets fouled

FTA made it. up 5

 

Rose to boozer for the dunk

 

Like him or not, LeBron is pretty good.

 

6:47 13-9 Heat

 

Giving up to many lay ups and fast break points

 

Boozer to naoh for the dunk down 5

 

Rose with the jumper. Down 5

 

Bogans misses a 3 noah rebounds, dunks

 

Watch Bogans on offense. Nobody is guarding him at all. He's running around wide open.

Bulls got him an open 3pt shot and he missed.

If he can rain some 3s, it'd really help.
