You have to figure that if the Bulls can ever actually hit a two-foot shot, their chances for victory go way up. We’ll see what happens.
For now let’s give it up for Chris Bosh for not being totally irrelevant in this series.
Her-cu-les! Her-cu-les!

I would be happy to see the Bulls win.

(dying laughing) at the Bosh caption. I second the “hit a two foot shot” analysis. Bulls FG% has been so bad the past two games. If they can decide to not shot the ball like Koyie Hill then they will win this game.

Boozer with a steal? Unpossible. Bulls getting out on the break is so key.

LeBron misses on the drive to the basket so it’s an automatic foul on Deng. Miami doesn’t need the refs help.

Did Deng breathe on him?

Derrick Rose is like a pogo stick.
Rice CubeQuote Reply
We haven’t seen as much pogo action since he sprained that ankle but I think he’s going to give a great effort tonight in a must win situation.

Whatever contact may have occurred it didn’t cause him to miss the layup. They never replayed it so I never saw much contact at full speed.

Watson follows up a turnover with giving up a 3 to Chalmers. He shouldn’t be long for this game if this continues.
melissaQuote Reply
Korver just tried to rape Chalmers (dying laughing)
Rice CubeQuote Reply
It’s too bad Korver didn’t do that to LeBron when he was out on the break in the last game.
melissaQuote Reply
Chalmers may die tonight. Hard fouls.
Rice CubeQuote Reply
Somebody better take Chalmers’ ass out if he’s going to drive to the basket like that.
melissaQuote Reply
I thought Boozer did a pretty good job of reminding Chalmers that he was there.
Rice CubeQuote Reply
I think Taj is the one that put the body on Chalmers on his last drive.

Oh you’re right. I thought Boozer was in the vicinity though.

They need to get Rose back in the game.

That was an ugly sequence.

(dying laughing) For once Boozer actually was in the vicinity of the defensive play.

I like that Rose is driving but he has nobody to dish to it seems.

So many momentum shifts!

People have to move to an open spot and he has to hit them. Korver has to stop turning it over.

LeBron has made a couple dumb turnovers himself here.

Bulls transition game is very good, taking advantage of said turnovers.
Rice CubeQuote Reply
That Rose dunk was very very cool.
Rice CubeQuote Reply
DRose is starting to feel it now. Taking it to the hole with authority. He has to keep doing that, time and again.
melissaQuote Reply
Wish the Bulls would have gotten a shot off on that last play. Rose needs to pass sooner when that double team is coming or else take off.
melissaQuote Reply
Rose has no help on this team. None. Everyone just stands around and watches him.

It’s very surprising considering that Chicago is supposed to be the deeper team here.

Noah has come to play tonight and that’s a good thing. His defense and 2nd chance offensive rebounds are huge.
melissaQuote Reply
[quote name=melissa]Noah has come to play tonight and that’s a good thing. His defense and 2nd chance offensive rebounds are huge.[/quote]Yep. Need some offense out of him, too, though, since Boozer looks more interested in a seat on the sidelines.

Bibby and Bosh are fucking weak sauce.

Deng has Bibby on him and instead of taking him to the block or basket he shoots a fade away 17 footer? Dumb

Wade has been chucking up bricks right and left. Bulls have guarded him well but even when he gets an open look it’s like he doesn’t know what to do.

That might be my least favorite call…

Really? LeBron picks up the ball at the top of the key does a 360 and 20 steps yet no travel? Please. Weak.
melissaQuote Reply
Good point Uncle Dave, if they don’t go up in the air on Wade’s pump fakes he’s really screwed. He’s been bailed out on that a million times. Now the refs step in to try and give the game to the Heat.
melissaQuote Reply
Nobody gets called for traveling in the NBA, Melissa.
Rice CubeQuote Reply
After that flop, for all time, I dub KIng James, Laimbeer James
Mercurial OutfielderQuote Reply
They’ve actually started to call the more blatant travels and that was certainly one. However, I don’t expect a single call to go against James when the refs are trying to get his team back in the game.
melissaQuote Reply
Hit a fucking jumper, Ashton.

No bail out that time.

That’s a bullshit call because they would never call it at the other end. He stepped in under Noah.

LeBron can waltz into the lane at will.
I’m pretty sure that time it was a foul though.

of course we go OT

OT *gasp*

Everybody standing around watching Rose. Terrible play. They should have been screening to get someone open. It’s really easy for the defender to guard a guy that’s standing still.

Horny GoatQuote Reply
I don’t understand that last play, they didn’t screen for Derrick and they didn’t screen to get anyone open off the ball either. That’s so stupid especially when you know LBJ is matching up on derrick.
melissaQuote Reply
it’s the pessimist in me, but letting miami go OT is not good.
Horny GoatQuote Reply
Miami’s big guns are in foul trouble so that isn’t necessarily a bad thing if the Bulls keep trying to drive the ball.

how many shot clock violations will the bulls have in this series?

There were plenty of times that the Bulls were fouled on shots and it wasn’t called that hampers your shooting percentage. The Heat don’t need any help but they got lots of it tonight.
