Miami hasn't played good lately and that's mainly because of Chris Bosh. Bosh has another tough matchup tonight in Noah (who will be guarding him defensively for most of the game). I see Bosh having a pretty good game and coming out focused. All he has to do is knock down open jump shots and then his 1 on 1 game will come.
I am positive Rose will play tonight. THere's a 0% chance that he will miss this game. Last time the Bulls beat the Heat, John Lucas exploded. The 32 year old that's about 5'8 and lists himself as 5'11. He tries to be Derrick Rose when he comes in - takes about 15 shots when he plays 17 minutes.
Miami had a chance to cut the Boston lead to 3 when Lebron pulled up for 3 against Rondo. After he missed he looked at Wade right away who was wide open. Wade was dissapointed and Lebron saw that. And I think both those guys come out tonight and try to get to the free throw line. Thibs is getting confident with Hamilton and everyone will see what a bad defender he is today when Wade abuses him. Thibs will continue to bitch on every play. Hamilton will get 10 offensively but he's not going for 20 with Wade and Lebron probably both guarding him at times. Wade will switch on Deng for a few plays.
Rose is going to want to make up for his last performance. I think he tries to limit himself to 20 shots tonight and tries to get 10 dimes. For the Bulls to beat the Heat they have to have everyone show up. The bench needs to be solid and Boozer needs to have DD points and 8+ rebounds. You know what you're going to get with Deng everytime.
I think the Bulls will do a pretty good job of packing in the paint tonight freeing a lot of Miami shooters. Miller, Battier, Chalmers are all going to knock down 2+ 3's I think. Bulls are a collapsing defensive team. So you pick your poison.
Bosh has been hanging out on the perimeter a lot more the past few weeks. I think Wade and Lebron want him freeing up some space. If he does that again tonight and can just knock down the jumper thats been so off lately, it's gonna be a tough game for the Bulls to win.
This will be a playoff type game. It's going to be the same outcome where MIA lost to OKC and then decided to take the next game way more seriously. If MIA can take of the glass they should win this game by 6 or more.
Yeah, and I still have my MIA bet to win it all, and MEM to win the west. And I still think Boston is the 2nd best team in the east and LA is now the biggest threat in the West that they upgraded from Fishboy. Bryant will not let fisher get another ring before him.
