    Take the Bulls in Game 4 ML

    The heat barely had enough in the tank to hold off the Bulls in Game 3. After four days of rest, the Heat got it thru their head to wear down Chicago thru rebounding, and some decent D. The problem is that with the lack of a bench, the Heat can not sustain this pace with only one days rest.

    Meanwhile the Bulls had to go with the virtual bagel from Noah. Back to back no shows.....Deng was not aggressive enough. Boozer was the man and it still was not enough.

    Adjustments to be made.....Chicago must rely on their bench depth. Gibson came with fire...the rest of the bench along with Noah no showed. At the very least burn the bench with hard fouls on the heat. Pound the ball inside and get the fouls. One of the factors that propel the Heat is free throw differential...Chicago must close the gap in this area.

    Adjustments for Miami.....recognize that this thin team can not put up the energy that they did in game 3. Anthony has to pound the glass. Haslem needs more minutes.. Miller needs to park on the three point line and chuck four shots. If he makes two or more..ride the hot shooter..if not get him out. Miami needs hot shooting from Miller and Bibby to counter the lesser energy this team will come out with.

    In the end Chicago makes the adjustments and the play is to take Bulls ML for game 4.

    What were the 4 days between games for??? Bulls are too young to make any "real" adjustments with 1 day off. Heat will be ready in Game 4, no stealing home court back for the Bulls...

    IMO the 4 days got the thin heat the energy needed to win game 3. I feel that the Chicago coach is better than Miami's...ergo he has a better hope of implementing the adjustments needed to take game 4. The bench will carry the day for the bulls in game 4.

    If they dont get offence from Rose and some offence from Noah, the Bulls are in trouble.

    Maybe, but the Heat bench has outplayed the Bulls the last 2 games. Either way the next game is the biggest for both teams this playoffs...

    I'd love to see the Bulls win, but I'm not a buyer.

    Let me flip it. Bulls got a monster game from Boozer, and still lost.

    he put up some points and got some rebounds, but he was garbage defending. The Bulls best Defensive Big has a sprained ankle and im not sure where this young teams head is going to be. Could be bleak from here on out.

    Some. He led the Bulls in both. Heat are exposing that defense. I don't care if he was garbage defending. He talked shit on Bosh, so shut him down. It is the coaches job, and he is a "defensive" coach, to make the adjustment.

    Asik was a non factor when he was in there today.

    Haslem being able to play is big, it gives the Heat a rotation.

    I get the sense Game 4 will be closer, but down the stretch Miami just have all the answers for Chicago right now. When both defenses clamp down Lebron and Wade can always find a way to get their shot or give it to Bosh wide open.

    I'm going to wait for live betting for this one, see what energy both teams bring and see if I can get a line of Miami -2-3 or Chicago +7-8.

    Chicago is a different team at home than they are on the road. They have no true option for scoring besides Rose. The Heat have 3 options. That is and will be the difference. Heat in 6 IMO.

    Boozer was the man but not enough? that was more then enough. Screw bench scoring...as long as the big 3 work together....Bulls can't win.

    It will be -5 to -6 IMO. Probably be -6 to start to hope to get some Bull backers.

    Refs have fixed this shit, Heat will win the series. Maybe the refs give Bulls benefit of the calls in game 4 to extend it but I still think the refs will fix this shit in the Heats favor to win the series eventually

    It was a brutal game. the stronger survived

    We all have to remember Bulls are playing against two NBA Hall of Famers and a third guy that would be an all star on many other teams and that is tough to beat in a 7 game series.

    bulls got their ONE win in game 1, like i told everyone at the time.
    of course everyone was jumping on the bulls bandwagon after game 1, but don't do it now! it's quite clear even the bulls know who the better team is, and noah shouting "f u fa**ot" is a pretty obvious sign of frustration on the team.
