Kyyle23 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 10:52 AM) I think thoughts of crazy but seemingly plausible things like that went out the window this season with the compressed schedule. What do you think they could do if Nash went there next year for their whole MLE? Nash isnt going to make Wade and Lebron less flaky. The Heat could go 72-10 if they actually started playing 100 percent of the time and stopped the drama. But they are too busy with their pregame punching contests and trying to alley oop every pass.

Honestly I think Lebron and Wade kind of hurt each other, when Wade is missing time Lebron looks like a completely different player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I really miss the Lebron from cleveland that would just lower his head like a damn bull and force his way into the paint since he's such a physical specimen and draw contact. He's uber passive these days, its extremely frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I was saying that before Lebron went to Miami. Its just not a good match and why most people assumed Lebron would not go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's uber passive these days, its extremely frustrating. That's still his go to move in close games late: A) Chuck up a wild 3 and occasionally get lucky. B) Head down sprint down the lane, throw ball at vicinity of hoop, yell for foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Full practice today for Rose, very likely to face Heat tomorrow night. Bulls clinch the division if the Pacers lose tonight or the Bulls win tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Bynum hauled in 30 rebounds and gave the Spurs a loss last night. Every other team in the NBA has 16 losses or more now, so the Bulls now have 2 on the loss column on everyone. Beating the Heat puts them darn close to sewing up homecourt thorughout.

Kyyle23 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I am very curious to see what the Heat play like tonite. Last season they went into the playoffs with a head of steam, this season they are just kind of playing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season they went into the playoffs with a head of steam, this season they are just kind of playing around. I just saw where they are only 16-12 on the road this year. That makes the #1 seed all of the more important as they are 24-4 at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 QUOTE (DBAHO @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 06:48 AM) What are everyone's thoughts on Boston right now? I think they're a flash in the pan, but I would love for them to be the 3 seed to face the Heat if it came to that. They match up really well for some reason. The main problem with Miami IMO is that Bosh is not playing anywhere near the level he was playing last year. His last double-double was at the end of February. It's ether Wade/Lebron go off and Chalmers/Battier have a good game hitting the three, or they lose. The bench is still terrible, they lack any real post presence, they don't have much depth. Honestly I think they're worse than last year and it's showing. Magic made a good point last weekend during NBA countdown - the regular season means dick, BUT, in big time, nationally televised games against the top teams you want to send a message. You want to prove how dominate you are. Miami hasn't done that all season. I don't think they've had a dominate performance over a top team all season. Can they turn it on for the playoffs? Yes. But to what level? Do they really think they can just turn it on starting in round 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtics match up well with the Heat, they have a clear advantage over them in the PG/C position. Don't know if they can beat Miami but I think they can put a scare on them and take them to a 7th game. The Bulls on the other hand match up well vs Boston.

Brian Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Rondo was actually hitting jumpers against the Heat the other night. If he keeps that up, that makes Boston very dangerous and I would have to start respecting him as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this season has made me pretty sick of Bill Simmons. He's doing too many things, and his articles have damn near no point. Also, how you ignore and don't bother writing about the Bulls having the NBA's best record with these injuries is unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
