Korver is going Nick Anderson.

Kyle Korver is a defensive menace. And not in a Dennis Rodman sort of way, in a Jose Calderon sort of way.
The man should not be on the court when the Heat have Wade in. Hes not even scoring.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW CHICAGO?
LeBron delivering, just as it was predicted. Can't wait to watch the game.

Yeah, what a prediction...LeBron playing well, really going out on a limb.

Just proves game 1 was a fluke, not how the series will look.

The bulls drive me mad. They are completely dependent upon a single player who happens to be their point guard and decides he needs to shot 23 times.
The team in general shot so bad. Heat D had some to do with that, but they just played like crap... so many bad shots. How do they win games with such consistently bad shooting?
|
i know how On_slaught, pussy ass guards charging into the lane and draw contact and then flop for a foul, and score on the foul lines, and if the ref don't call the fouls 3 for 234234 here we go!
|
As a Bulls fan, I feel like this was a game we win if we can hit free throws and wide open jumpshots. Korver and Deng were terribad, Rose was forcing it down the stretch and never really could find a rhythm with Miami blitzing him every possession.
Not being able to stop Asik's bleeding really put a halt in the momentum the Bulls had down the stretch.

how can you look at a 1-1 series and say with certainty that one of those games was a fluke. that makes no sense.

So.. the Bulls do normally shoot above 40%, even in the playoffs, also; their regular season FG% is .462 - and Game 2 was the worst shooting performance so far.. Just makes me all the more relieved, really. Won't have 2x season low's in a row.

James scored 15, Wade scored 13. That's not a fluke?

I was tempted to say the Bulls actually played better and probably would have won if they just made some decent looks they got, but Miami played damn tough--particularly towards the end there.
Really enjoyed today's game: it was really tough and neither team gave up anything easy. So much better than yesterday's free throw contest game.

I think it's going to be rare that Bron/Wade/Bosh all 3 have great games or all 3 have bad games this series. Overall, in game 1 Miami shot 32/68 for 82 points, and in game 2 they shot 32/68 for 85 points. Game 1 may have been a bit unusual for those 2 players (although Bosh had a very strong performance), but unless something changes (such as foul calls or Miami getting more points in transition), we're probably looking at 85-90 point expectations for the Heat's offense this series.
Question is what Chicago offense will show up?

I do agree with you that the Bulls aren't a truly sub-40% shooting team. However, for some reason or another, they have gone pretty cold during these playoffs. There is no such things as regression to the mean game to game. Over the course of a season, perhaps, things will equal out to true talent levels - but this is a seven game series against the same competition.
I guess, I just don't really like how you make game 2 seem like a...fluke? Or am I misrepresenting you here? I think, it is more representative of a trend, though 34% is shockingly low, and part of that may have something to do with luck.

man miami scored 3 more points in game 2 than they did in game 1. Dwade and James didn't have to score 20 points every game to beat the bulls as long as they take care of the board and rebound. Chicago is toast, 4-1 heat.

Kobe Bryant points in his 0-4 losses vs Mavs: 36, 23,17,17. I think its a misconception to say a team will win if your best player does well - and lose when he doesnt do well. its a 5v5 game; two players have less impact than you think if your other players dont perform. dont believe me? see okc.

You haven't seen much of the Heat this year have you? That is conceptually ideal and conceptually correct, but it simply does not apply to the Miami Heat - they live and die on the performances of Lebron James and Dwyane Wade on both ends of the floor.
