The Bulls need to come out on fire tonight, if they can stun the Heat with a combination of intensity and the United center, you hope that the expectations and pressure begin to mount on the Heat.

 

Game 1 is huge in my estimation. I think we really need to get this first game. For some reason, I think the Heat could absorb a game 1 defeat better than the Bulls could.

The Heat just have to win 1 of the first 2 to steal home court.

 

If the Bulls take the first 2 games, the Heat might go into that self-doubting mode.

I think the Bulls are fine with a 1-1 start, but I also believe that if Miami is down 1-0 the pressure will begin to mount on them, especially when they realize if they lose the next game they are down 2-0, meaning theyd have to win 4 of the next 6 games.

 

If the Bulls can get the Heat to press, I think they can win. But the Bulls are going to need to bring their A game 4 times this series, because they wont beat Miami playing sloppy.

everyone talks about how LA got swept, wouldnt it shock the world if the bulls could sweep the heat? i know i know pipe dreams but hey im just saying

I don't think any outcome in this series would be shocking...if the Bulls were to sweep, everyone would point to their defense and the fact that they took all 3 from the Heat in the regular season. If the Heat were to sweep everyone will point to the Bulls relative inexperience and the fact that they could not overcome the Heat's experienced Big 3.

 

I suspect it goes at least 6, probably 7. Who wins will probably be determined by the winner of game 5.

I'd be darn shocked if either team swept the other. Usually, I'd expect DRose and Lebron to pretty much win 2 games by themselves in a normal series.

After seeing the Spurs go down to the Grizzlies, the Lakers get swept by the Mavs, the Celtics go down 4-1, I don't think I'd be shocked by anything. Surprised, sure. But not shocked.

 

I think it's hard to say you can expect Rose to win 2 games by himself against a team with LeBron/Wade/Bosh on it, but you may be right...he is the MVP after all. :)
