ECF: HEAT (3) VS. BULLS(1)

The Heat are in great shape. The D. is incredible. It's tough for the Bulls to stop all of the Big 3. They got to get these guys on Tuesday also. Then they will be in great shape.

Must win in game 4 for the Bulls...sigh

it's curtains if they don't win the next one

Miami's defense is ridiculous. In the first quarter, that's one of the best defensive performances I've seen from this team, and I've watched about 60 of their games this season. f**kin' amazing defense by Anthony and Lebron...

Btw...a lot of ppl blasted Miami's HC several times during the regular season (and at times, I was critical of him as well) but I've to give him a lot of credit with great adjustments after game 1. Of course it makes life a lot easier when Lebron, Wade, and Anthony are defending like their lives are on the line, but credit must also go to the coach for having superstars like Lebron and Wade buy into his system and the adjustments he has asked them to make. Spols has been terrific in the playoffs so far.

Bosh made some amazing shots in this game...and bailed out the offense on many occasions. Lebron didn't score 30+ but what a great game by him. Couple of blocks, couple of steals, 10 assists, and no turn-overs. He didn't force his shots, and scored 10 of his 22 in the 4th. Wade wasn't at his best, but hit some very very timely shots.

It will be interesting to see how they play on defense after only a day off in between games. I've a feeling they will feel their legs a little more in the 4th quarter in game 4.

Another great game by the Miami defense. This series so far is really showing the Bulls definite need for a scoring shooting guard. Deng needs to be consistent with his scoring throughout the whole game, although thats pretty hard when he's guarding Lebron all game.

Two people that need big games to get this thing going for the Bulls are Noah and Rose. Rose was looking a bit more aggressive this last game and he needs to continue that. Noah needs to keep up that energy and make those tip shots. Boozer showed up somewhat but the defense from him is severely lacking, but that's to be expected. I'm glad that the next game is tomorrow, which I think benefits the Bulls more. These last two long layoffs benefit the Heat, so we'll see what happens tomorrow. Maybe for once, this next game will actually come down to the last shot. Come on Bulls!!

Wow with the shot selection of Derrick Rose just wow.

This is what everyone, if bias is put aside, knew was going to happen. What I am impressed with most is the ability of Lebron to see a play developing and getting in there for the block, steal, or help defense. Dude has great awareness and tremendous help defense, especially in the paint.

Note: Lebron with another strong 4th quarter!!!

The other side of this trio is the scoring. SOMEONE has always gotten it done and they all have sat back if a role player is hot (Haslem in Game 2).

Go Heat!!!

I agree. He's awful. The Bulls should trade him.

Maybe to the Warriors.

Noah fined 50K

Lebron played awesome again overall and was good in the 4th quarter.

Anti gay slur directed at Miami fan, caught on camera by TNT.

Somebody explain why he only got $50,000 when Kobe got $100,000. And somebody also explain why Tyson Chandler got fined nothing for the same thing during the season.

I think the explination given for the difference was kobe directed his towards a ref and noah directed his towards a fan.
