honestly, i'd like to know why these things don't happen to any other city. chicago is cursed in every sense of the word

 

Dude, stop. It's embarrassing. Every team has had [expletive] like that happen before. Calm down.

Brilliant defense by Miami on the final play

 

Takes a genius to figure out Rose or Korver is getting the shot.

yes really, i'm sick of watching other [expletive] teams celebrate

Take 3 guys and cover Rose and Korver. Any team can do that.

[Wilson A2000]

They should have tried to run a play sooner at the end. Took far too long to develop.

[Brian]

This team was just too fun, it ended ugly but this was still a great season.

[bcl412]

That sucked. Great season though all things considered, I would have taken this finish in a heartbeat to start the year. Please no lockout because I'm going to be bored for a while if there is one.

This is how sulley copes. He got bold enough to make that "Golem of Akron" soliloquy a month or two ago and should've seen this coming.

If the situation was reversed, do you think the Bulls would have defended James/Wademthat well?

No not any team could do that. Miami is one of the best defensive teams in the league. Much easier said than done.

I love that he acts as if the Blackhawks don't exist.

you realize tha t in any given sport you have about a 3.3% chance of winning a championship, right? this should happen in some form or another in 97/100 years, bud.

No, but it is a lot easier to stop a guy who is 6'2" from getting a shot off.

you have to admit that it was creative. i don't think i get enough credit for thinking up [expletive] like that.

 

besides, lebron's been in this position before, it's by no means over.

[Wilson A2000]

I think getting to the Finals was the peak this team could have hoped for at the beginning of the season so you really can't be too disappointed. But two of those games were there for the taking which is why it hurts.

yeah, it's ok cuz they won once in 60 years

have you watched lebron james for about the past 4 seasons (minus two games last year)?

[Sammy Sofa]

Rose looks 22. Hopefully he learns from these playoffs and comes back strong, he probably will.

 

Exactly. Listen to the post-game radio tonight and you'll hear tons of callers talking like he's peaked and how he's a "choker" and blah-blah-blah. This is what players and teams have to go through until they finally punch through. It sucks, but that's the NBA. The future still looks VERY bright for the Bulls. This awesome season was just the start.

I hate that we destroyed them in game one and then didn't win again. Of course, at least our last win of the year was a blow out of Miami so that's something.

The bulls won 6. so, you're good for about the next 200 years.

[DivineBovine]

What a crappy end to a great season.

 

What can I say. We got beat by the better team. Let's hope GarPax does something big this offseason. And maybe Thibs should hire an offensive specialist to be on this coaching staff.

 

Go Dirk. I think the Mavs will be a good matchup for the Heat. They have a few options on offense, a guy who can get a shot whenever he wants, and play adequate defense.

[illiniguy]

Hey give it to Lebron he's gonna get his. He only had to run and play with one of the top ten players of all time and kill basketball in his hometown to do it. GO MAVS

Just because you're a bandwagon fan doesn't mean the 90's weren't [expletive] awesome for us Bulls fans.

God bless you rational Bulls fans.

 

That was an unbelievable series, granted a really tough loss. If you don't think the Bulls will come back better and more focused next year, and that Thibs won't learn from his many mistakes, I pity you. That was an unbelievable learning experience for a young, over-achieving team and they WILL compete at an extremely high level for a long time.

 

Really impressed with the Bulls in these playoffs.

[Wilson A2000]

I really don't think anyone takes solace in that.
