The 2007 Chicago Bulls Playoff Thread

[Brian]

I really really really fear that the calls will go the Heat's way this next game.

 

We're going to need a extraordinary effort out of these guys.

 

Let's just hurry up and get up 40 points on them and not let it affect the game :)

The calls will go the Heat's way in Miami. Not worried about things changing drastically in Chicago.

[ChiCubsFan]

Oh man, I can't wait.

[Derwood]

i can't believe they still can't get this opening round right. You would think that moving to a best of 7 series would shorten the gaps between games, but no, here we are having Game 2 THREE DAYS after Game 1. Schedule makers should be fired

[Derwood]

FYI, Game is on TNT at 8/7c

Fired? They're getting bonuses from the networks for mazimizing their potential ratings.

it's not like the games are all on one network though. You think with games spread across ABC, ESPN and TNT that they could shorten up this first round just a touch. The teams are getting more days off now than they ever did in the regular season. Talk about momentum killers.

 

ETA: The first round is scheduled to take TWO WEEKS if it goes 7 games. It's ludicrous

I'm going to be there. Thunderstix night!

 

Anything to make the UC louder is alright by me.

 

I would love to see a steady dose of Kirk Hinrich tonight. Keeping him out of foul trouble is big for this team because I can see the Heat making some solid adjustments for Thabo when he's on Wade.

The first round needs to go back to a best of 5 format.

I'll be there as well. Can't wait despite the thunderstix.

Anyone else wish the Bulls promoted everyone to wear the same color shirt? I think the Bulls should do a blackout. That would look so cool on tv.

[BigSlick]

This one is going to be down to the reffs. Our team lacks the maturity and the leadership to fight off the Heat and bad calls in order to win, so we're gonna need at least a fair shake in terms of fouls here.

 

We take this one we're in the drivers seat no doubt, we drop it, bad things are on the way.

Just say no to ridiculous T-shirt gimmicks.

Personally, I don't think they look good at basketball games at all. When the Heat had their whiteout, it looked like the stands were empty.

 

And then there's the issue of the Heat having the exact same colors.

[Soul]

Now we find out the real deal. Because make no mistake, the Bulls must beat the Heat and the refs tonight. Too much whining coming from Miami and the national press. Refs will be calling everything the Heat's way.

[Jon]

I agree with 1908. I don't think the officiating is going to be that different tonight. Maybe better on calls against the Heat and a tad better on calls against the Bulls, but not drastically different.

Lets pray that is the case.

Ask the Raptors. They had Red shirts for their first playoff game, and that's the color of the Nets jerseys.

GO BULLS!

[Derwood]

time to get the girls in their pajamas, hopefully get the younger one to sleep, then catch the opening tip

[Jon]

The calm before the storm at the UC right now.

 

I'm glad I won't have to put up with a national broadcast tonight.

[BigSlick]

The media favoritism with the Heat is astounding.

 

I've never seen a team so assured of victory since the Saints were well on their way to the Superbowl.

Anyone read this article? Skiles is awesome
