He was scared a Bulls player would "accidentally" hit him in the nose.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Looking forward to this, as Nas pointed out in another thread, Bulls have the best record in the league since January 1.

Apparently Noah is leading the team in assists and rebounds? First Center to lead his team in assists since Robinson, I think.

I was hoping for something along the lines of "Joakim versus the Volcano Bong" for a thread title. Not even a weed reference...IkeSouth's beef with Biggie dragging him down. Let it go, IkeSouth, just Biggie being Biggie:

"Don't try to understand BigFan, he's beyond everything."

i was busy making lights. i just wanted to make sure the game talk didnt start in some rolling thread. i wont get to really watch the game, but it will be on and i can listen and catch the replays

jeezus christ durant just took like 6 steps and got the foul... can we just get rid of dribbling inside the arc?

Why is Durant bringing up the ball anyhow? Greg Kihn is a terrible coach.

If Derek Fisher retires, does the NBA end.

because nobody is passing to him if he doesnt. westbrook does but that last play durant wasnt open at all and was calling for the ball as if he was obligated to it. has there been any talk of durant being a ball hog?

i like the clippers jerseys too. the tshirts make them look bigger and stronger.

Why'd you delete your Noah does it too, so is Thibs a bad coach post? Good point, I thought.

Clippers jerseys are too UCLA/Kansas/Kentucky? for me. But they are the best among the various crap LAC jerseys.

How does Chris Paul not have a ring.

He'll at least get one or more as a coach, I expect.

Wow, Blake the bricklayer at the line.

Ha-ha, Derek Fisher, "just watched you brick 2 FTs, try again" and Blake makes em.

Looks like Oden will be doing the wang whipping today.

I think that's the first time I have ever seen Thibs laugh.

Durant isn't a ball hog. His problem is he defers too much. He's the best scorer we've seen since 2006 Kobe so it makes sense that he would want the ball.

I'm out.

The Heat does not look engaged in the game. The Bulls need to shut down Wade. No one else has really done much other than Bosh's 3 pointers.

thats what it looked like today. as soon as he got the ball it was straight to the hoop or just shoot it. it looked like deng on the cavs

I think not having Butler is a bigger loss than people think. Plus Miami always makes short guards look bad because of the trapping of the pick and roll.

Is it a lock we get a Dan Bernstein article admonishing folks that 'he told them so' about the Bulls ever being able to beat the Heat when it matters, what with a loss to the Heat w/out LeBron Christ? That said, is he wrong? Or does the "it's just a regular season game" reasoning invoked for the previous five regular season wins against them apply?

i dont know about all that don. i think today it was obvious the bulls played pretty damn good but still got killed. well, the refs seemed to have a bad game too, but even if every call went our way we still lose by 10. we need rose, and that motherfucker is just sitting there counting his millions.

The Bulls held the Heat under 50 percent shooting for the game and to 93 points. D.J. Augustine played his worst game of the season. He was 0 for 10 from the field. Dunleavy and Snell are not Deng and Butler. I think Butler gives them more than Snell in terms of points and defense.

The problem that the Bulls have is they couldn't handle it when Miami turned up the pressure. They were holding the ball too long and not getting good shots. The Bulls had 19 turnovers when you factor in those 24-second violations and the Heat got 22 points off of those. So that's your ball game right there.

The Bulls have the formula to beat the Heat defensively. Their offense just isn't good enough to beat them consistently. The Bulls' offense has to play at an exceptional level to make up for the Heat's shooting percentage and free throws when LeBron is in the game.

The Bulls can beat them when they have all their players or when Miami is not tuned in to the game. The Bulls cannot win a series because Miami has those three guys who can give them 60 to 80 points a game. The Bulls need a perfect game from their guys to make up for that.

If this game was in Chicago with Butler playing and no LeBron the Bulls probably win or only lose by 5.

The things that beat Miami's defensive pressure is ball movement and for the open guys to hit their shots. When the Heat guys feel like they can leave players and double team that's when those open guys have to make them pay. So much of what the Heat does is just the confidence that the other guys play with because of their Big 3. If Wade can't play at a top level every game the Pacers will go to the Finals.
