Re: 2012-13 Chicago Bulls Thread

The way the Heat are playing now, they are very beatable. With that being said, I expect them to play better as the playoffs progress.

Outside of being a Bulls fan, what in the hell could lead you to say they're very beatable?

Idk if Lebron has had to play at more than 70-80% in any playoff game yet. So there's that.

The Heat are unbeatable in a 7 game series and the Pacers have no shot at beating them.

You are the one being a meat ball. The 2011 Bulls were a far superior team to the 2013 Pacers, and a Heat team that isn't even as good as they are now, beat them in 5. The Pacers don't have a chance against Miami.

Yeah, not really.

yes, really. wade was actually playing on 2 legs in 2011. i don't think the pacers will beat them, but the heat are vulnerable. i think memphis would beat them if they played right now.

Did you sleep through the 90's or did you just forget what it's like to be in NBA hell as a Pacers fan? You've seen this show before, you should recognize it.

I think there is a lot of room between vulnerable and "very beatable."

 

The Heat are much deeper and more in sync now than their 2011 team was, even if they had a healthier Wade. Memphis would have a chance, but I still think there is no way LeBron would lose 4 out of 7 to anyone right now. It just won't happen.

 

(I am a Bulls fan, btw, not a Heat homer. I can't stand them or LeBron.)

i disagree with this notion that lebron is incapable of losing a series. in the last 2 postseason's the heat have gotten extremely lucky in who they've had to face. if wade is just going to be a jump shooter from here on out, they are beatable.

LeBron has been great.

Wade is hurt and not much of a factor right now.

Bosh is very inconsistent and disappears for long stretches.

Ray Allen is old.

Chalmers is decent.

Norris Cole has played above his head, will that continue?

Birdman has played OK.

Haslem is nothing special.

Battier has not contributed much.

 

Maybe my phrasing of "very beatable" is what you're hung up on. Take out the "very" then. As they are playing right now, they are definitely beatable. Does that mean they will be beat? Not at all. I just think that the unbeatable Heat that we all looked at before the playoffs started are not playing at that level right now. It could be that they took the Bulls lightly because of all the players we're missing. I just can't agree that the team playing the Bulls right now is in any way unbeatable.

The heat aren't far from becoming a little better version of one of those Cavs teams the way Wade is going.

[Ryne Ween]

I think the heat are vulnerable in a series against Memphis. Game 3 was a very competitive game that required a night from Norris Cole. Memphis should defend the perimeter ok against the heat and I think have the ability to score on them. The Bulls offense in this series has featured some of the worst possessions ive ever seen in the pro game.

Who does Lebron guard in a series against Memphis? Conley? Z-Bo? Seems like it would be a waste of his defensive talent guarding Prince or Allen.

I'd put him on Conley.

[Careless]

Wow, a lead.

[Andy]

Refs calling an awful lot of fouls on Miami tonight. I'll take it.

[SpongeWorthy]

Go team

[Andy]

Here's where the Heat go nuts for the 4th quarter and reveal they were just screwing around for the first 36 minutes.

[SpongeWorthy]

Flooooooppppppp

[Andy]

No, he doesn't flop. He said so.

 

What a bitch

[USSoccer]

Officiating evening out now.

[SpongeWorthy]

Just get the ball on the rim. You know we'll have to win dominating the offensive glass. Can't afford not to get shots up.

[Andy]

LeBron doesn't flop guys, pay no attention to his tanklike body flailing to the ground after getting fouled by a 5'9", 180-pound (both listings generous) guy.
