I think Thibodeau better have some aces up his sleeve in terms of a defensive gameplan. My guess is he probably does. Another thing I wonder is how the hell he's going to get Kyle Korver in there...lord knows they can't have him guarding D. Wade. And, Korver's been cold, but that's bound to change. It's going to be a very interesting series and I expect it goes 6 or 7 games. We know that's what the NBA wants as well. They don't want either team being swept. This series has the public's attention and the more drama, the better.

Pick: Bulls in 7. It's going to be a grind it out type of series but I tend to lean to great defense beats great offense. Bulls go 10 deep too, and that will be important. The defense is the key. It's a difficult defense for Wade and James to play against because it punishes ball-stoppers so much. Both teams will load up against the strong side and force teams to drive and kick and reverse the ball. Teams looking to play that style anyway carve them up; the Suns and Raptors of the world have had little trouble getting their points against Thibodeau defenses. But for teams like Miami that prefer to isolate talented wing players, it's a headache.

Perimeter defense edge Bulls? LOL
Rose, Brewer, Bogans, and Deng are better defenders than Lebron, Wade, and Chalmers?

Yeah....OK!

these matchup checklists end up being meaningless

You think Rondo's injury was why the Heat won that series? Didn't watch huh? Miami did just fine in games 1 and 2 with a healthy Rondo. His arm wasn't much of a factor as he doesn't shoot anyways.

Equating the Celtics to the Heat losing to the Bulls is idiotic. First of all, Lebron's importance to the Heat is FAR greater than Rondo's importance to the Celtics, not to mention that Rondo was still in the game and able to do 80% of what he normally does. In general regular season are not a good indicator of the postseason (any Lebron hater should know that) and this is a prime example. The Heat played the Bulls without Lebron one game, without Bosh for half a game, and Joel Anthony wasn't even in the rotation at the time. The 4 most utilized Miami lineups against the Bulls this year won't even see the court in this series. How much more do I need to explain?

lol wow, what a fan boy or should I say fanboy? (please let me know which is the correct spelling since only you would know).

Rondo was injured, doesn't matter. (You're right, guarding a World Champion with one arm and a bad back is much more difficult than guarding a healthy World Champion who runs the offense) The fact that again you discount PG play and Rondo's importance to that offense is not only stupid, but disrespectful. Right now, I would take Rondo over Pearce, Garnett or Allen. The O'Neal's were hurting....doesn't matter. The regular season where the Bulls won more games, earned home court advantage, have the MVP, coach of the year, again, doesn't matter.

The Heat losing in the regular season to the Bulls where they couldn't guard D-Rose ......doesn't matter because Lebron wasn't in the lineup (that matters because he is the greatest imaginary King the world of basketball has ever seen). The only thing that matters to you is Lebron James. It's funny, be it in a pathetic way, that the phony King is the ONLY thing that matters to you.

The Heat beating the Sixers in 5 games where they couldn't close out a young team in Game 4 because ahem, one of the big 2 choked at the end isn't struggling but the Bulls beating Indiana in 5 games is struggling. Ya, the Sixers are just awesome on D aren't they? The Heat beating the Celtics in 5 is awesome but the Bulls beating the Hawks in 6 is struggling.

The Bulls as you say in an earlier post being booed multiple times, but yet you say the regular season DOESN'T MATTER. So why would it here? YOU DON'T MAKE SENSE....much like your jaw firmly clenched around the phony King's balls doesn't make sense.

BULLS IN 6

[STAY STRONG]

I think Chicago takes care of business and wins game 1.

[crustyme]

bulls have the best pg and front court right now so I wouldnt count them out even before game 1.

[BettingWizard]

touts are all over the bulls

[CMNoney]

"The King" as some of you morons refer to, hasn't won anything since high school. "The King" and his team mates, lost to the Celtics in Game 3 who had a PG with one arm. "The King" and his team mates, required overtime to beat the Celtics in Game 4 who had a PG with one arm. "The King" and his team mates, were behind for most of Game 5 and required a late surge to beat the Celtics who had a PG with one arm. The Bulls have a PG with two great arms, two great legs, great basketball brain and who is the MVP of the League. Bulls in 6 Heat fans are morons and Lebron fans who refer to him as "The King" are not only morons, but I am going to say in a general sense for the most part are just wannabe's. The End.

LeKING James is the most entertaining player in the game. When LeBron is on the television screen, I don't want the game to end.

Hopefully Rosie Petals ate his wheaties this morning, he's going to be in for a long night.

[Tallcash21]

[somachino1]

Cry yourself to sleep. Loser.

[ACoochy]

lol at those presuming 1 win automatically paves way to a series win...Its thinking like this that is the reason y the books make so much $$$

[WileOut]

Miller, Eddie House, Udonis Haslem. These players only played with 2 minutes left in the game. Eric S. needs to learn how to use a bench. No matter how many great starters you have you have to use a bench. Haslem was the Heat's second best player last year.

I would consider bringing Wade off the bench. That would be the best 6th man in history of the league.

[vinh diesel]

lol at those presuming 1 win automatically paves way to a series win...Its thinking like this that is the reason y the books make so much $$$

It's not about 1 game, but its the way MIA lost that's concerning. I honestly think that BULLS win in 6, if that.

[twelvejewelz]

lol at those presuming 1 win automatically paves way to a series win...Its thinking like this that is the reason y the books make so much $$$

The reason the books make so much money is because miami is the BIGGEST public play thats on the board and all these heat fans cant get over it and realize that they are going to lose.

[CMNoney]

lol at those presuming 1 win automatically paves way to a series win...Its thinking like this that is the reason y the books make so much $$$

Exactly. Miami only needs to win 1 game in Chicago. I bet Miami for the series, not just tonight.

[chachi]

It's not about 1 game, but its the way MIA lost that's concerning. I honestly think that BULLS win in 6, if that.

Did Miami have five players on the court during 4Q or was it 5-on-4 ?

[FindTheLock]

series isn't over. heat just dropped the ball in the 2nd half. it was all knotted up with the heat winning the majority of the 1H. 2H the heat big 2 decided to go on a vacation. If they do that again though, then they're in big trouble.

[Lint Pockets]

sorry miami fans but i dont see that joke team if u even wanna call it a team beating chicago...... lol

[jcubs55]

Perimeter defense edge Bulls? LOL
Rose, Brewer, Bogans, and Deng are better defenders than Lebron, Wade, and Chalmers?

Yeah....OK!

......Yes. Deng got SHAFTED by not making the NBA All-Defensive team... dominated LeBron again tonight... and I'm sure you saw Taj Gibson shyt all over Wade tonight... BULLieve!!!

[eberetta1]

Huge game tonight Bulls vs Heat. Bulls won playing poker(21), smokin. Let's see how Bulls can run on the road.

The first half was a different game than the 2nd half. First half Heat made it a game, 2nd half, Heat
had no game.

Damn Rayz...you were all over that one huh...

[Shifty107]

Oh really? Wouldn't that mean someone not named Derrick Rose would have to create a shot off the dribble? Who else on the Bulls can do that? Honestly you are so delusionally obsessed with your team it's becoming a bit funny.

How'd ur three kings do tonight bro. Looks like you Heat fans are seriously delussional about ur team. Lets see the three kings fight when they are down 2-0. Will they have the heart to fight back like champs?

My guess is that they will crumble and leave game 4 with their heads hanging down, only to go back to Chicago facing elimination, where they will fold like my mothers washing and be on the first plane back home to watch the rest of the finals from their living room.

[RayzHELL]

Damn Rayz...you were all over that one huh...

Yep! This was my largest single bet on one game ever!
My previous high was $3,000.00 to win $2,000.00.
