Steve9347 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Game 1 of the playoffs last year the Bulls looked amazing. Everything was coming together, D-Rose was finally back and dominating, it looked good. I'd say that was the best they'd looked since Game 1 of the ECF the year before when they handled the Heat, Taj dunked all over D-Wade, and I was certain the Bulls were headed to the Finals. We all know how that ended - they put LBJ on D-Rose and that was that. So even if Rose's ACL doesn't explode like the hospital in The Dark Knight last year they still weren't getting past LBJ.

clyons Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 So Kobe's hurt and whining like a b**** about a dirty play. I'm not sure I see that, but I can't really be impartial when it comes to Kobe. Jones definitely steps into and fouls him, but I don't think you can infer intent to injure from that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihq0xxIlkaU...eature=youtu.be I'll bet Dwight Howard will have some interesting tips for Kobe about sucking it up and playing through pain.

And that was without Bosh through the first 4 games and he played little in game 5. I don't think most people realize how vital he is to them (I can't stand him but I can acknowledge value).

That one was blatant and obvious. I'll cut Kobe slack for no doubt factoring that in when he made his comments, but last night just looks to me like a basketball play. Like I said, though, I'm too anti-Kobe to really be objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I think Spurs could give Heat trouble in the finals. Of course they would have to get there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Bosh being down was the reason I figured they could be beaten. Let LeBron get his, but no big on that roster would be able to score without Bosh. Heat would have been destroyed on the glass. But that's in the past now.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 This Heat streak is getting a little bit interesting. You figure they'll wax the Raptors on Sunday. If they beat Boston in Boston next Monday, the streak will be at 23. Their next 4 games after that are at Cleveland (no Irving), Detroit (they suck), Charlotte (lol), and at Orlando (they suck). This thing could very well be at 27 by the time they come to Chicago March 27th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
