Tipping that's where most of the value came from. Lol.

[no_remorse28]

I Dont think Denver are a threat with the trade. D.Harris is not good player and Favors needs alot of work. Think Boston will dismantle them. As i write if that reverse dunk by LeBron is anything to go by then he could be in for a statement maker ! cant tell me the MVP means nothing to him

They went to the Jazz... Denver has Felton, Chandler & Fields...

My bad, to many trades to keep up, statement still stands, felton is not a great player, handy but. Chandler probably the best pickup there but is still a development player. boston by15+

Miami looking pretty good early

haha, you bet... Denver have a good a chance as any tho.. new team.. Celts with no C.

Risk is worth the reward!

LeBron is that good that anytime he's on the court Miami look like steamrolling the bulls, when he's off and Wade, Bosh and the better of the rest are on Miami look a bit lost.

[no_remorse28]

Chris Bosh = Fake tough haha. should be in Sales !

[RoosterMarty]

Bosh is a weak little princess.

[Grahaml]

He did get clipped, would have stung a little but he certainly played it for all it's worth. If he didn't, then the ref doesn't call it though. Boozer and Noah keeping the bulls in this. Rose gets going they might get back up to level with Miami, but just can't seem to bridge the gap. James is in total control out there.

Boozer has pretty numbers on offence i agree and is scoring to keep em in it, but as always his defense is horrible. and thats what has always let him down, and his teams

He's been defending Bosh for the majority hasn't he? Bosh is 1-10 from the field so whoever is defending him is doing fine. If he's guarding James or Wade then the bulls have their match ups wrong. Nobody else on the team is really a worry.

Strange seeing the stats and bulls only have 2 more offensive rebounds than Miami. Seems the bulls are getting more than that watching it. Miami if anything are trying too hard to stop the bulls getting on the boards, are sucking in too close to the basket and so a few rebounds are going over them. Noah, Boozer and Gibson have all got a rebound with the ball going clear over a Miami player first.

Rose had a bit of a stinker that half, one nice drive and a couple of easy buckets are his output from the field. He really needs to get it going a bit more. If he only hits 3 FG in the second half he's going to need about 10 assists or the bulls are gone.

From what i have noticed Noah tends to take Bosh, which is best coz he is a top defender and allows boozer to hide his poor defence on joel Anthony who doesnt get shots any way, I would agree thought the bulls were way out on offensive boards.

I still think we might get my 2OT prediction. and Rose as he does when the bulls need him to do everything will start matching Wade and Lebron shot for shot, think we are in for a beauty 2nd half !

[RoosterMarty]

Deng is on Lebron but Lebron is unguardable at times. Boozer's defending is usually average, doing ok against Bosh who is a pretty decent shooter and he has been excellent up the other end. I'm expecting Rose to lift in the second half but can't see us winning this one.

We have missed a few open 3s which could have helped cut the lead.

Bos FG 1/12
either he is having a very very very poor shooting night, or someone is defending him well

or both

He has missed a number of shots he would normally hit.

More the first actually. Been missing that 15-18ft jump shot. Yet for some reason he keeps taking it while James is 10-14 and Wade is 7-12 from the field. Fair enough if the clock is winding down, or if he was getting layups and missing them keep taking those. But why keep shooting the jumper when A: It's not working and B: Two team mates are tearing it up? He's not even been driving, just a series of fakes then up goes another brick.

Good to see nobody walking a foul tightrope either. Would be a shame to see someone sit out a quarter because of fouls.

Rose still only on 4 assists. Bulls closing in slowly, but Rose really needs to get more active on the drive and open up Miami. One on one Miami are about as good as there is defensively with their athleticism. Make them help and rotate, might open a few things up.

[RoosterMarty]

Back to 1 pt and Chicago ball. Come on boys! Much better quarter so far.

[mighty hounds]

Bulls 4 up end if third

[Grahaml]

Bulls had a great quarter. Deng came to life, Rose got some scores and they limited Wade and James quite nicely.

Bulls now getting a serious rebounding edge. Deng's put back was something to remember. Possibly could have been called a foul, but just nice work nonetheless.

Bosh at 1-14 is the difference right now. 6 rebounds and 1 assist from your best big man, not good enough. Seriously, Bosh is massively overrated. If I was Pat Riley and had the chance to swap Boozer for Bosh, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[Grahaml]

Next few minutes with LeBron on the bench is massive.
