Heat fans should be embarrased.

[onlooker]

And by the way, Miami has not beaten Chicago all year. Yeah it was only three games, but the Heat do not frighten the Bulls.

Celtics were 3-1 as well, we know how that worked out.

[Whippit]

heatles gonna pull a vanessa williams on chicago

saved the best for last

[onlooker]

Assuming that the Bulls knock off the Hawks, the NBA Champion will come out of the East this year. I like the Bulls to win it all, as defense wins championships and Chicago has the best defense in the NBA.

From "assuming" they advance to the ECF, to being the NBA champions. Not your best statement LT.

Totally different situation, all three Celtic wins came before the All-Star break, and Boston was not nearly as good in the second half, which is when the Heat annihilated them in the last meeting. Plus don't forget Bulls have home court advantage could be big.

What do you mean? It is a safe assumption that Hawks won't beat Bulls twp straight. I sense a Heat bias in you?

[StraitShooter]

well..not like the celts showed up playing shit ball..they swept the knicks didnt they?

Heat are just best team in league this year

Shout out to the under rated, hard working, unheralded Joel Anthony..Big contributor to Heats success..always hustling and causing opponents fits under the boards..he has been a huge impact inside where it gets down and dirty while miller and hasleem were no shows this year

[GunShard]

Should be a good series between the Bulls and Heat.

[eberetta1]

People hatin a winner. Playing like the Lakers playbook, playing so awful this season, then winning in the post season when it matters.

No, the top seeded Bulls are.

Better record, 3-0 head-to-head and the best defense in the league, What more do you want?

[iQon]

So, how much did you lose on the Celtics?

Let the Heat beat the Bulls ONCE before giving consideration to Miami being the better team.

[TTA_President]

Funny how you are talking about how the Heat are celebrating that they beat the celtics. They won. When was the last time you won something you really wanted? Then to say that the bulls are gonna win? When they get there if they get there. Then mention the bulls.

[onlooker]

Your not 100% sure the Bulls advance, but you have them as a shoe in for the NBA Championship?

You seem more of a Heat hater, then me being Heat Bias. I'm calling as I see it, but yes I am a Lebron fan.

People use the Bulls regular season record to gauge a series, and I'm pretty sure most did the same with the Celtics before the series started. Now since the Heat handled them, the Celtics/Heat regular season record is irrelevant.

[StraitShooter]

Tell you what I have been waiting for the Dolphins to win again since 1973..All I get is Don Shula in a wheel chair telling me about 17 and O in 72..

The greatest winner to ever wear the Dolphin's jersey #13 was Jake Scott

Maimi has had some success in young careers of Marlins and Heat both of whom have bought championships to our city..The Panthers have mostly sucked aside from one year

I am enjoying this ride

You can live a lifetime and your favorite team not win it all..long live steve bartman

And still in the East Semi's.

[Monitor-Tan]

As of right now, I honstly think the Mavs are the team to beat.. Their starting 5 is physical and plays well.. Their bench can shift gears as well.. IF heats and mavs match up in the finals, I honestly think Dirk will get his first ring.. And honestly Dirk deserves a ring more then anyone else in the league right now.. Dude has played tough and gave it his all.. Dirk deserves one

I think you are right on the money. Mavs will get their revenge a against Miami in the finals. They are playing the best right now and tehy can shoot lights out.

How do you figure? When I say that I assume the Bulls will beat the Hawks, what I mean is that it is a foregone conclusion in my mind that they will. I am not a Heat-hater, I just think it is silly to consider a team better than a team that finished with the best record in the NBA and swept them during the season.

I was wrong about the Celtics because I thought they pulled a Lakers and coasted through the late stages of the season and would flip the switch in the playoffs just like they did as a 4-seed last year. The Heat proved to be the better team. Fine.

The Bulls are different in that they played hard all the way to the end of the year, and watching the Hawks series, I get the sense that they are toying with Atlanta a bit knowing they have a tough series coming up. Chicago is all about defense, and the fact that the Hawks scored 100 points in their two wins points to a lack of effort on the Bulls part.

[triqy]

looking forward to both conference final series...gotta love the nba playoffs

[StraitShooter]

the direction of the money speaks volumes..bulls owned heat season series..but who would be favored in playoff series?..Betcha the Heat are -150/200

That makes no sense either. Toying with them because they know they have a tough series coming up? Sweep them and prepare for that tough series, or you can find yourself toying with the remote watching the ECF.

tHEY WERE DOWN IN THIS GAME AND CAUGHT FIRE TO WIN...WINNING IS EVERYTHING..CELEBRATION SEEMED JUSTIFIED

[onlooker]

Oh yeah, the Heat's defense isn't to shabby.

[pozzy]

Cry me a river.. This is a symbolic win.. It'd the end of Boston's run and the beginning of the Heats..

heat will penetrate the bulls right side look at bulls they have trouble with teams who penetrate that area of the court free money on heat series

[LT Profits]

That's fine, more value for me.

I think it will be Miami -180/+160, and Bulls will hold all the value

[chantrain]

**** the Heat, nobody wants to see these bitches win. Miami Heat are evil, they're the Galactic Empire, the Confederacy and the Nazi's combined. That's how evil they are.

Support the good guys! Beat the Heat!

Yeah, it happens every year in the early rounds of the playoffs, superior teams conserving energy for the later rounds. It doesn't matter if we agree with the approach or not, it is what it is.

One thing we do agree on is its better to end series quickly, and the Bulls could have swept this series if they played every game like they did Game 3 in Atlanta. Then again, that also proved that Bulls can turn on defense when they need to. I do think they come to play tomorrow to avoid a Game 7.

[initialX]

Is this what is like in the Heat locker room? There's seem to be more tears than what Spoeltra claims.

I don't know about all that. Maybe if the star players were only playing 25 mins a game during that time, but they don't. It is in their best interest to put these lesser teams away as soon as possible. Some teams just run into match up problems and it takes longer for them to put them away, not that they don't want to.

[antifoil]

i heard on the radio today that the bulls won all three games by a total of 8 points. lebron didn't play in one of them.
