NBA 10-11

I suspect James & Wade are thinking they chose the wrong guy to team up with; Bosh does not offer much on the floor.

Miami is a soft team. No matter who wins tonight, Miami is a soft team.

Yep. 28th in the league in points in the paint?

I love love love love this Chicago Bulls team.

Bulls were extremely lucky to get the win tonight.

Bosh may have played the worst game in NBA history tonight.

I knew this game would be hard to watch!

Bulls looked like they just couldn't handle James + Wade in the first half. Then they were gangbusters for a good 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter. Then they got cold, then hot, etc etc.

Awesome finish, for sure. That Deng 3 caused me to minorly injure myself jumping off the couch so quickly.

My man Omer was a badass on D. And on offense, he set some great pick and rolls, and simply never got a pass after his solid roll into the paint. He had position a good six or eight possessions where Rose or Watson used his pick and then kicked it somewhere else instead of feeding it to him in the paint. I feel like he could have scored 12 or 16 points if he'd gotten some passes. No worries, though.

We wouldn't have won this game if Bosh hadn't had the worst game ever. I was amazed how many times they fed him the ball only to see him clank another 12 footer. Haha! Eat it Heat!

Pessimism going into a game is an easy out as a sports fan; you set yourself up for defeat, then a win keeps you happy. That stupid Toronto game made me focus on our weaknesses and not all the awesome stuff the Bulls have goin on. Anyway, the whiskey has me babbling. Go Bulls.

Also, I don't want OKC to be good, because now that Denver and Utah are almost certainly out, the division goes to them or us. And also Clay Bennett is an expletive.

I wouldn't count the Nuggets out just yet. They beat the Celtics by 14 last night. The new emphasis on defense and ball distribution is going to be fun to watch....... and they've still got some pretty decent talent on that team.

Holy hell. Dude should be fined for that nonsense. No wonder he whined so much about Omer stepping on him.

Yeah that was the only positive thing Bosh did for Miami the entire night. They threw up a stat that it was the worst shooting night by a guy since 1973 or something. It was unbelievable.

I think I'm about to say something unpopular. If the Bulls were to be knocked out, I think I would get on the LBJ train to South Beach. Put all the b.s. from the summer behind, and I love watching the guy play. He's talented, a competitor, and a sportsman. Wade too. I'm sick of the Lakers and absolutely detest Boston. I really hope they get the 1 seed assuming the Bulls get the 3, because I would rather see a Boston/Chicago round 2 then Miami/Chicago. We can't beat Miami in a 7 game series. Getting to a conference final is a moral victory, and kicking Boston's ass would be as much as I could ask for.

LeBron is easy to hate when you don't watch him. When you watch him you remember, "oh yeah, this dude is a basketball god."

Derrick is a fabulous player, but there is no human being on earth that is so clearly the most valuable player in their sport. Albert, Leonel Messi, Manning, Sidney Crosby, Jimmie Johnson...you can have them. LeBron is unstoppable.

Thank Jordan this is a team sport.
