Naw Im the homer..hes the guy that is smarter than you as well....Asik is a 24 year old rookie behind a great center in Noah...and he played the most mins off the bench out of 5 guys and mins have increased in the playoffs because of his ability to stop shots at the rim and rebound. There is no one on the Heat that can compare to Noah or Asik ...esp the center they have playin 35 mins in Joel...and ESPECIALLY Z. give me a break dude you no SHIT is a lot more comfortable the calling a guy Pat Riley would kill for about now Ashit. And thats right you wont bet the series..

We had Taj and Asik close games out for us in the Hawks series, they were in the entire 12 minutes of the fourth quarter over starters like Noah and Boozer.
and WHY? Because they're good players who defend extremely well, that's why. hence, they're not shit. Act like you know.Comment -
agree heat look like the best team - focused on playoffs = not regular season - making a definate strong run.Comment -
i like the bulls in game 1 but it wouldnt surprise me to see the heat win in 6 or 7 games but really like the bulls sun niteComment -
The best part will be how so many will come in here and make stupid comments after the heat most likely lose game 1. Bulls are so shit its not even funny. They were life and death to win the first two rounds. People talk too much about the reg season but its usually the reverse in the playoffs.
Heat in 6.
Wrong, wrong and wrong! "#2" LeQuit will find the way to crap all over the floor again, this time in heat uniform
Go Bulls!Comment -
Im a die hard bulls fan been a bulls fan since 1989. The bulls is not good enough right now to beat the heat. Sure rose is gonna get his , but after rose then what sure deng , boozer, noah , is capable of having a good game but tby them being capable dosent mean that they is gonna have a good game. They dont show up all the time they are all very streaky players. And we know lebron and dwade gonna show up every game. The bulls thought they had that second guy in boozer, but he is not even considered the 2nd guy any more deng is. Lebron and dwade just makes all the difference in the world. sure they got the best of the heat in the regular season but let me remind you people this is not the regular season, and if you bet against the heat for the series you is basically giving your money away..Comment -
About to turn 25. Noah is 26. And when in hell did Noah become a *great* center? Just more of your ridiculous inability to think clearly about the Bulls.
Actually, he averaged less mins this year than Gibson, Brewer, Watson, Bogans, and Thomas. I.e., he's an 11th man. He also has averaged less mins in the playoffs than he did in the regular season: http://www.nba.com/bulls/stats/ You don't even know your own team.
Best of luck on your betting. I have a feeling we won't be seeing you around by June. Maybe the same for Chantrain, too.Comment -
Noahs been a great center for a while, lol. Top 5 for sure. Do you even know about the NBA? It's this sport where people bounce a rubber ball around and try to get it through a hoop.
Check it out sometimeComment -
Our offense will be fine, everyone will show up on defense every night jus as "Lebron and Wade will show up every night" Over under mins for Bibby and Z 20 a game? That will what cut the rotation down to 6 guys including the undersized center. Nice team manComment -

The last two games against Atl he has had 20 mins and in game 6 he was the only one off the bench with 20 or more mins. You worry about what your not betting this series and Ill talk to you in June regardles but what should I say if the Bulls win the series and your still around?Comment -
and you don't think the Bulls have a good chance to win? the **** is wrong with you.Comment -
My bulls not ready yet. Before the season started if someone would have told you the bulls was gonna win 62 games anybody on this forum would have said bullshit. Hell i thought at best we was gonna be a 50 win team. So to be truthful im satisfied with the season that we had because actually we over acheived big time. Give us 2-4 years tho we will have a new champion ship banner hanging at the united center,Comment -
we not ready yet? Dude we're completely ready, nobody on the team wants to stop now that we've come further than we've ever gotten since 1998.
Don't be satisfied yet because we not done yet, if you're gonna take that fatalistic attitude you might as well not say anything because you'll look real bad if we make it past the Heat
what kind of fan says "We won't win, we should just stop because we've already exceeded expectations and I'm satisfied."Comment -
Your a clown dude...I honestly said Rose would be MVP after the first week. You can listen to their coach and their players, watch their defense and the way their team plays, and then look at how the Heat can compete with it and know we have a good chance to win. But your a clown who dont even deserve to celebrate if they do win cuz your happy enough with what theyve done. Maybe Rose should feel that way huh lolComment -
does this team ever look like it's "not ready" to you Tallcash? lol, they're nothing BUT ready. Thibs has no life outside of basketball, neither does Rose. Do these guys want anything but to win? ever?
lol, some of these people I swear man.Comment -
Im a realist . And the bulls is not ready, lets be honest who have we beat the pacers and the hawks hell we supposed to beat them. Now Dont get me wrong i would love for the bulls to win but im not dum enough to put my money on it. I wish i would have picked the heat for the series but i didnt . But best believe im gonna pick my spots on this series. Lebron and dwade is gonna be too much for the bulls to overcome point blank period....Comment -
Yea its a joke for real. Gonna be fun to watch all the haters leave the forum after 2 games. Its all they talk about is being a team and getting everyone to do their job...Thibs never has anything coming out of his mouth but game plans and how we can get it done its scary.Comment -
The way the playoffs have gone, looks like it is the Heat's year to win it.Comment -
I like the Heats as well, but I wouldn't take -200Comment -
Heat in 6Comment -
Indiana and Atlanta are not mediocre teams in the playoffs. Indiana had absolutely nothing to lose and they played very freely which worked for them, (Bulls won in 5, can't really call that struggling when it took the heat 5 to knock off Phialdelphia who I believe are on par with Indiana). The they took out the Hawks in 6. Yes they should have delt with them easier but in all honesty, the Hawks are better then their record suggests. They are very athletic, have several guys who can pretty much score at will, and had a point gaurd out to prove a point.
Is Bibby gonna gaurd Rose? If you put wade or james to stop the MVP who the f,uk is bibby gonna gaurd? Deng? Bogans? He will get abbused should they switch alot. Or will they play Chalmers on him. Either way, as long as deng and boozer chip in, and korver is able to hit some big shots, Chicago are in with a chance.Comment -
The center position wasnt mentioned by LTA.
No I dont think coaching will give Chicago a "superior" advantage this series. Series wont be decided by coaching or home court.
I conceded the bench as well.
Again all I was getting at was that Chicago is not the better team imo. I think we're all getting a lil crazy before a game is even played. I think the heat win the series, I'm not laying the 190. I think you guys got a good number @ +165, I just wont be on it with you. BOL everybody, should be a great series.Comment -
Ive mentioned in one of them Im basically just bored and with all the ridiculous comments about how the Bulls will get swept and this and that I have to get a lil obnoxious. Its gonna be a very good series, jus know the Bulls have the all around better TEAM and advantages that will prove key. Depth, rebounding, and shot blocking to name 3.Comment -
Mos def...like the Griz alot in the first game too..been all over em since march and had em at +240 against the Spurs. 6.5 is alot to either team...und prob right play as well. Got em both...Good luck manComment -
lebron sleep deprived....Comment -
Hilarious to hear the two smartest guys on the sports reports basically say exactly what ive been sayin on here....but all my post have been so unreasonable to some. Good luck Heat backers.Comment -
Read that this morning. I do somewhat agree with LB's prognosis. However, I've seen this time and time again with Lebron. This is a situation where I strongly feel the Bulls will take game #1. What does that matter for the series? A big fat NOTHING. I don't like saying this but there is NO CHANCE the Bulls can win 4 games against this team first.
Tonight tho....
Bulls -2 (5u)Comment -
LB, how big are you going on the Heat Series??Scared money don't make money
182-120-6 (60.26%) Final Total NBA Record over 308 plays
37-20-1 (65%) Record for the 2010 NBA PLAYOFFSComment -
Season avg now means shit. Thomas' average is only higher because was inserted as starter when Noah was injured for a large portion of the season. Right now Asik is not an 11th man. Never know what Thibs might do though. The 12th man is Rasual Butler, but I have my suspicion that he could actually play some meaningful minutes this series. Might be a better option on James than Korver for when Deng needs to go to the bench. Bulls picked him up for a reason, it might have been for this series.
In any case, if Asik was on Miami he'd be their starting center and he'd make the Heat a much better team. I'll tell Asik over Anthony every day of the week.Comment -
some of the posts in this thread are so ridiculously square
with that said i respect everything d2bets has to say in this thread and he is dead on in all posts i have read
anybody making light of asik just doesn't know much about basketball and the matchup problems he and other big men will cause for miami... vegas is about to rape you all... -190 = hey square, come over here and bet on the hype!!
bulls are the better team and will win this seriesComment
