They weren't. LeBron just dominated Rose on every key possession.

No.

They'll find better players than that to come chase rings.
I'm pretty exhausted too. When the Bulls had Jordan I didn't even start watching until the Conf. Finals, and lately they have been out early and I would only casually watch the playoffs. I don't think I've followed the playoffs this closely ever. And add to that that I want this Bulls team to win more than maybe any other, I'm wiped. I wonder if I will even watch any of the finals if the Bulls are not in it.
The Bulls had about a 70% chance to win that game with :08 to go. That close to having home court advantage. The Bulls need another shooter, Korver has just been cold. I know the D is better on him but he has to make some shots. Boozer .. lol at four of his points last night a result of his laziness on defense. He's the one guy on the team that I am just not happy with. Korver is pissing me off, but I know the effort is there big time. He's just missing. Boozer I'm not sure about the effort.
I think the Bulls have at least a 50/50 shot of forcing it back to Miami, and if they can win in Miami then they will be the favorite to win. That's kind of how I'm thinking about it.

The other thing to worry about are players bought out with amnesty if the new CBA allows it. Miami could be really good next year.

FTFY
Basically, Cleveland was about as successful as this current Miami team. But Cleveland did it without Bosh and Wade. If Brown was so horrible, then how do you account for that?
