Can Shaquille O'Neal and Dwayne Wade get the Miami Heat out of the corner and back into the fight? Maybe, but it's going to take a lot of work. The impression I got leaving the United Center on Tuesday was that the Heat may not be able to flip the switch like they did last year. They were mediocre all season, and they've looked mediocre so far in two games. If they're going to defend their title, they need to get a lot better, and fast. After losing Game 1, Pat Riley talked about "matching Chicago's intensity." More than anything, he was concerned about his team's inability to get back in transition defensively, which he attributed to a less than focused effort. The Chicago Bulls looked much more interested in winning the game than Miami did, hustling their way to a 25-4 fast-break advantage. That was supposed to change for Game 2.</div> more
Good game for chicago. I watched all of the press conferences and they had no excuses. Pat riley seems to be in love with Deng. The Heat are in a bad spot. They have to pick their poison. If you double deng; ben, noch, and hinrich get gret looks. They only weakness IMO is duhon. Hes having a hard time defending wade in this series. But Im confident that the bulls will maintain their poise and with this in 5. I predict we will win game3 lose game 4 come home to win the series. Go Bulls!!!
