The 2005-2006 Chicago Bulls Thread

:(

 

While it would be great to win, I don't think we should be upset here. Yes, it was a very winable game, but the way I see it we can't have any expectation here. I see this game as mostly encouraging this team is set up for next year and staying close to the superior team like this will only help out. How many GMs would you trust with the 2 drafts pick we have and the money we have to spend? In Pax I trust.

This game proves the Bulls have a chance in this series. Be it a small one but they do got a shot. Especially if Wade has more then just a cramp.

That seemed very fishy to me, didn't really look like a cramp when you're grabbing at the knee.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I don't think that was a cramp.

I was very encouraged by the outcome despite the Bulls making some stupid mistakes and key players underperforming. If Haslem gets suspended even one game, that would be huge. If Wade misses more than one game, the Heat are done IMO. The Bulls are obviously the underdog, but with the problems Miami is devoloping, things could get interesting.

[BigSlick]

Bump! Games on in...like 7 hours.

[rawaction]

I think the Bulls can take this one. This will be huge as the Bulls can take over home court with a win.

It's also pretty much a must win if the Bulls seriously want to take the series. If they lose tonight, they'd have to win 4 of 5 to take the series, and that's not going to happen.

Game is at 7 pm CT on TNT.

[Jon]

Haslem has indeed been suspended for tonight's game.

[YearofDaCubs]

Haslem has indeed been suspended for tonight's game.

Much deserved.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Good thing I have two TVs in my dorm room. Go Bulls!

[Flames24Rulz]

Haslem has indeed been suspended for tonight's game.

 

besides last Sunday's game, he has killed us in pretty much every single game we have played the Heat. One less threat we have to worry about.

 

Anyone know the word on Zo? Wade is not 100%, so if Haslem and Mourning both miss the game tonight, we will definitely have to take advantage of this.

Hopefully the Bulls can steal this one. I only got to see the last quarter and a half on Saturday, but Nocioni and Duhon need to play better. Also, the Bulls can't let the Heat shoot over 50% and expect to have a chance.

Huh? Noch had 18 point and 16 rebounds. He could've shot a little better from the floor but 16 rebounds from your 6-7 forward is outstanding.

[Brian]

i'm guessing that he meant Duhon and Deng.

[Banedon]

Deng didn't play very much, and Skiles admitted that he probably should have had Deng in more. I'd expect him to be more of an impact tonight.

I really want to like the nba, but the reffing is so atrocious. Dwayne Wade has committed to blatant fouls which have lead to 4 easy points for the heat, and its all probably because his name is Dwayne Wade. I don't know if Stern gives refs an agenda or what, but the league is such a joke in that aspect. Lets not even talk about artest getting suspended...

[Flames24Rulz]

despite a furious rally at the end, the Bulls blow a few chances to possibly cut the lead to 1 or even tie it late. I don't know why Duhon didn't shoot that wide open J. It then resulted in a turnover and that ultimately was the game. A good effort though I guess for not giving up.

 

Thursday = must win. Funny how we are on the other side of the spectrum. Last year we were up 2 games to none, this year we are down 2 games to none. Let's get a win on Thursday...

[gflore34]

The Bulls hung in there again, I believe they'll get at least one, maybe tow games in this Series. Given what Hinrich and Gordon have done to Heat, what, if the Heat make that far, kind of numbers are Billups and Hamilton going to put up? Does anyone believe the Heat have even a remote chance against the Pistons?

I'm with you. Artest shouldn't have been suspended any more than Finley or whoever should have been for elbowing him in the head earlier in the game.

 

And the calls that some players get and get away with are absurd. Officiating in about every league is pretty low.

[Wilson A2000]

Man the end of the first half killed the Bulls. Miami went on a 6 point swing. Shaq just is too big and fat. Tyson got all that money and can't score and can't defend Shaq. The Bulls never quit but Miami has too much talent. I wonder hwo the Bulls would look if they would have gotten Wade instead of Miami.

[Andy]

The Bulls won't win more than one game in this series. The Heat are just too talented, and it doesn't help when the refs are awful and the Bulls make dumbass plays on top of that.

[Chocolate Milk]

Not to cry about the officials, but the officiating in this series has been ridiculous and horribly one-sided.

[1908]

There was a huge disparity in game 1 but the free throw attempts in game 2 were almost even. If the Bulls aren't getting the benefit of the doubt on calls at home, I'll jump on board the bad-officiating train.
