Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls Series Thread

[Triplexxx23]

Pacers are whooping ass right now. Its looking like a pacers heat eastern finals. Wade need his rest. I hate to admit it, but Wade seems like he is dealing with a more serious injury then what he is say it is. Miami is trying to cover it up just like they done before. But clearly its showing on the court.

Seems like we are sayhing this every May.

Next summers going to be quite interesting because of the strong friendship between James/Wade.

Wade had a good season. 21 5/5 and shot 51%. If he can provide stats like that, then he is worth extending for a few season... especially if it keeps lebron/bosh in town.

i honestly think the Heat may be better served to rest wade more in the regular season. he is the oldest of the big 3 and the smallest. giving him 10+ games off a year or limiting his minutes more might be the best thing for Wade's career and the Heat in general going forward in regular seasons.

I agree with Triple X, i think this injury is more serious than the heat are letting on.

Let's face it, Wade has never lit up the Bulls, yet we're still very effective with him on the court given what Spo said about the Heat being at a +49. It would be a totally different scenario if he was hindering this team, but this doesn't appear to be the case.

I dont think Wade is hindering the team. But here are his point totals for this series... Game 1 14 Game 2 15 Game 3 10 points Game 4 6 points.

I will submit this.. DWade doesnt usually light up the Bulls. That is true. But, this is the worse playoff series DWade has had in his entire career. I am not buying the knee is okay. Im just not.

I hope the bench Wade next game and he gets more treatment on his knee. Heck, if we go up 2-0 next round, I hope they bench him again. We are going to need Wade to win the title. We dont need wade to finish off the bulls up 3-1.

I'm not saying the knee is ok, that's painfully obvious. He has a bone bruise, that's a painful injury to have and can last for months. But Wade has never had good games against Chicago or Milwaukee. What Wade needs to do is invest some time in working on his shot this coming offseason.

Nice to see the Knicks getting their ass handed to them. The Golden State vs SA game should be a great one after the last game it has a lot to live up to

Well its looking like its going to be Miami vs Indiana.

Honestly if we hold serve at home in games 1 & 2, I see that being a 5 game series also.

The key to beating Indiana is rebounding. Their offense is not good at all. If we avg 95 PPG in the series it will be a short and dominating series win.

A lot of their points come on 2nd chance opportunities from offensive rebounds.

If we do a good job rebounding we will be fine.

 

[Paolo305613]

It would be great if in the next series the Heat can take care of homecourt in the first two games but it will be a tough task especially if against the Pacers. Similarly, I think it will be a tough task to beat Indy on the boards - We need to that gang rebound mentality but we often are running the other way in rebound situations and don’t even put up a fight.

Against the Pacers we need to make sure we put up quality shots and not waste possesions which will limit the times we have to battle them and try to outhustle them on the boards.

miami will be fine vs pacers. pacers are not nearly as talented as miami. having andersen to body with hibbert is huge this year. last year we didnt have anyone besides bosh who was long enough to guard him... and then bosh gets hurt game 1, and we struggle over the next 3 games. wont happen this time.

miami in 5. regardless of wether we drop one at home or not.

 

[Paolo305613]

Just change legally change your name to Heat in 5...

 

[Paolo305613]

Just legally change*

with or without Wade tonight, Miami will close the deal. Honestly might be better for Wade not to play, not just for his own injury but it provides more minutes for Mike Miller and at some point in the ECF or Finals, we will need him to come in and be ready to have a huge game like last year..

 

[Paolo305613]

Wade playing and starting... Too bad for those hoping otherwise.

 

[Paolo305613]

UD moving well without the ball and early buckets for him. Nice. That is what blue-collar guys do

 

[Paolo305613]

All that is left for the Heat to do is avoid their usual complacent moment and this series will be done tonight.

 

[Paolo305613]

Shane comes in... Boozer takes it to the hole and scores.. hmm

 

[Paolo305613]

A technical on Thug Life Noah... Glad to see the refs ready to pull the trigger fast on unnecessary and excessive behavior

 

[Paolo305613]

That moment that shouldn’t arrive apparently has.

 

[Heatles84]

Bulls are going to make their run, every team does. It's the NBA, it's how the Heat respond which is the real question.

 

[Paolo305613]

Uh, yeah, okay... Good excuse to use I guess.
