Axis of Evil? Sorry, I pay no attention to the NBA.
You didn’t get floor seats? Hehe.
[quote name=mb21]Axis of Evil? Sorry, I pay no attention to the NBA.[/quote]
He means the Wade/LBJ/Bosh triumvirate of smug.

Don’t you like anything?
I do have to say that I hate those annoying bump/bail-out fouls.
I like how Reggie Miller is praising players like Mike Bibby in the present tense like he was still relevant.
I’m waiting for when the Axis of Evil as you term them hit a wall and the Bulls’ depth takes over.
Bosh hit a shot. So he’ll go 0-18 after this right?
Sorry, lied.

May not happen. They spread the games out so far that there is plenty of recuperation time.
Some of that is because of Oprah, right?

I don’t know. I heard something, but I don;t know how she would have any affect on the NBA, but whatever. The NBA stretches this shit out all on its own anyway.
But the moment they try to sit Wade and LeBron for any stretch of time, the Bulls’ bench is immediately the stronger team.

I agree with that. I thought Pat Riley was supposed to be a genius, don’t know why he would purposefully screw his team out of depth like that.
Damn double post…both LeBron and Wade are attacking, might be hard for the Bulls to keep them at bay.
Now LeBron goes to the bench with 2 fouls. This is where they need to make a move.
Bulls down 3 at the end of 1st. That could have been much worse.
I like the fact that I’m watching a Chicago team that can score.
Lots of lousy passes but otherwise not bad.
(dying laughing) @ Chalmers
How was the Giants game Mish?
TAJ!!!!!!!
Oh man…he totally teabagged the Heat there.
There’s that bailout foul again.
I like how every important Bulls team has had a token big white guy.

Asik is probably the best of all of them. He’s going to be very good.

I’m sure Luc Longley is extra-proud tonight.
[quote name=Aisle424]Asik is probably the best of all of them. He’s going to be very good.[/quote]Ya agreed.
Deng looks like he hurt a finger.
Korver could make an open jumper anytime now.
Third foul on Bosh. NIce.
All tied up at the half. Despite Noah and Rose not being at their best.

To be fair Wade and LBJ have been subpar as well. I think the Bulls have the advantage though.
I’m surprised Bosh is the Heat guy doing most of the scoring.
Bulls had trouble with that trap early but improved against it as the half went on. Taj Gibson was playing out of his mind with the second teams at the start of the second quarter. Deng is a beast.

Injuries to Mike Miller and Haslem haven’t helped the MIA depth. I think Reilly did pretty well with the bench in the offseason considering the moves in the starting five. Wait to see what Vets he adds with his exceptions this offseason.

I recall Mike Miller but I must admit that I forgot that Haslem existed (dying laughing)
Bench mob doing its thing tonight. I like it.
The Bulls are just fun to watch. As opposed to the Cubs, who unbelievably aren’t.

Nice snark.
I been a big OKC Thunder fan as long as I can remember.

Lotta hate for my country man Joe Kim Noah. Finally get a Korean in the NBA and he claims France and Africa. Looks like a terrorist that forgot her berka.

You have a short memory.
The Heat are in big trouble. Underdog indeed…
[quote name=Rice Cube]The Heat are in big trouble. Underdog indeed…[/quote]
Of course the moment I say that they’ll go on a 20-0 run.
They do fall in love with the 3 every now and again.
Taj. Deng.

I was hoping that would get some laughs. Sigh.
Wade looks tired

Carrying the whole team on your back will take a lot out of ya.
[quote name=Horny Goat]Wade looks tired[/quote]
That’s a human being you’re talking about.
I just couldn’t be prouder of the Bulls if they were my own sons.
It might be an intense 4th (dying laughing)

boooya! and it counts
I get from the Heat coach’s body language that he doesn’t know WTF he’s doing.

/former cubs fan
wow! what did I say!
how many shots have the bulls made when the shot clock was about to expire?
I don’t think the Heat are winning this one.
I changed my mind, let’s not go there, RC. remember Miami’s last game…
[quote name=Horny Goat]how many shots have the bulls made when the shot clock was about to expire?[/quote]
2 or 288.

Yup. Is that like the Yellon Principle of Comebacks?

[quote name=Silky Johnson]Is that like a reach around?[/quote]
Correct.
Who’d have thunk that on a night when Chris Bosh actually shows up that the Heat would still be losing by double digits.
Deng has been outstanding tonight. Offense, boards, and slowing down Bron’s offense.
Let’s hope that carries over for the kid from Indianola.
Huh, didn’t know Haslem was active.
Three more points until the UC gets Big Macs!
[quote name=Rice Cube]Yup. Is that like the Yellon Principle of Comebacks?[/quote]
reverse…psychiatry…
Garbage time…someone has to score the 100th point so there will be saturated fat for all.
Oh okay. There ya go (dying laughing)
TAJ!!!!111!!!
TAJBAGGED!
MIA are soft inside. Chris Bosh, your table is waiting.
[quote name=Mercurial Outfielder]MIA are soft inside. Chris Bosh, your table is waiting.[/quote]
No doubt. I expect a healthy Haslem and offseason acquisition will toughen them up on the boards and interior defense next season.
Was Ilgauskas hurt?

Spoelstra went small on purpose to keep up with the Bulls’ speed. Oops.
Garfien tweeted that the Bulls gave up 0 offensive rebounds in the 2nd half.
Bulls out-everything’ed Miami.
Jeez. It’s only the bottom of the 7th in NY with the Sox up 6-4. This game started almost three hours ago. The curse of OBP, I guess.

The baseball talk will stop NOW!!
But seriously, 4 hour baseball games are ridiculous.
The Heat bench only scored 15 points tonight and I think a few of those where when the game was completely out of hand. If the Heat want to win this series they literally have to pray that Wade and LeBron never miss and Bosh has another game like he did tonight.
If MIA wants to win this series they need to limit the Bulls offensive Rebs and second chance points. That margin won’t be like it was tonight all series long. But I don’t see MIA doing enough on that front to win the series.

Agreed, but they can if they play better defense. Those three can easily put up 75 by themselves so you get 15 from the bench and there’s 90. Keep the Bulls under 90 and you have a shot. They’ll do it a couple times, but I don’t know if they can do it 4 times in the next 6 games.

Yeah, this was probably an anomaly, but it sure was nice.
Three hours later, we’ve finally come to the 8th inning in New York.

I was distracted by the Bulls and cartoons for quite a bit and when I switched back to the ESPN3 window I expected the game to be over. Silly me.
Finally, to the 9th!

I think they average 4 hour games when they play.

Rivera is in now. This might be a quick top of the inning. Heart of the order coming up in the bottom after Jeter grounded out to end the last one.
Nice GBTS.
Hmm, didn’t notice that Rivera had adopted the Mike Mussina bend-y routine.
Unofficially, three hours and 46 minutes.
Out, facefuckers.
