How shocking!!

Watch them heat lickers call this a "wake up call". Or that its better to lose now than in the finals. Lmao

Is this march madness? 1 and done?

Its really not a big deal. Its the playoffs. Good teams win on the road.

Right now its looking like 3 of the 4 road teams will win game 1. I will be absolutely shocked if the Spurs and Heat does not take at least 1 game on the road...wouldn't shock be if both sweep games 3 and 4

didn't some Heat homer predict they wouldn't lose a game until finals??????

Of course they did - they are retarded you know

Who was that? Surely wasn't me or any of the Heat fans that came here w/me from CBS

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Well it wouldn't be any worse then the pricks on the ESPN message board that argued with me for a week that it was possible for the Lakers to win all 82 games of the regular season.

we'll chalk up this Heat's L to rust but there are more L's coming to be sure

I had them at around 5 losses.

I had them losing 1 game this series, 2 in the conference finals, and probably 2 in the finals

It's a must win for the Heat in the next - if they lose both of their games at home, they are really screwed and if you are the Bulls, you are happy already with 1 of two on the road. But now the Bulls has got to be physical and take to Miami - and put the screws to them

They heat played pretty bad today but I still think they will win in 5 now (picked a sweep before). I underestimated the Bulls ability to defend the corner 3, a staple of the Heat offense, although I think its being shown how unimportant Rose truly is to this team. They win with defense and rebounding.

In the first half Battier and Miller had 9 wide open looks from the corner and they hit 2 of them.

Miami played as bad as they could have offensively. They got good looks for the most part but just couldn't hit them. The only players who played well were Cole and LBJ (in the 2nd half).

As bad as they played they still should have won but they played a poor defensive 4th quarter after playing 3 great defensive quarters.

One adjustment that I expect to be made is that Nate will get the Rose treatment in the 4th. You will see James on him most likely in the 4th for the rest of the series.

Spo coached a bad game as well.

Theres a good article on ESPN somewhere (seriously) about why the Bulls give the Heat trouble. The Bulls are best at defending the corner 3, and the Heat get the most, or close to it, points from the corner 3, one of the most valuable shots in the game.

 

[Triplexxx23]

This is some bullshit...the heat will get that home game back

 

[shitsho]

coming off a week layoff I felt this one game would be the test. I'm actually glad they lost this so they will now focus better. They need adversity. Every good team does.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I can't believe a team as banged up as Chicago took Game 1 against the Disney Darlings, the Miami Heat. The fact the Bulls won 1 game in this series is an upset. Imagine if Rose & Deng were in the lineup. Imagine if Noah & Hinrich were healthy. Damn, they would probably win the series. Who knows they still might.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

One win so far against the illuminati. We can do this.

Heat played bad. Heat were rusty. Heat missed shots...
meh....
Bulls played their asses off! Bulls played with some guts! Missing all the starters they were and beat the Heat in Miami the way they did showed a team that has heart!
There's a lot of talented players who would be freakin' unstoppable if they had that kind of heart to go with their talent.
