I like the Bulls. I really do but they just don't have the goods to deal with Miami. If they can beat either the Pacers or the Nets for the Heat in the playoffs the Heat will be back in the Finals. Bulls just dont match up with them.
Pretty easily. Regular season for the Heat is a tuneup. The Heat are a championship team. They know what it takes. Bulls are a tough team but have not gotten over the hump plus the Heat are in their heads on top of them not having anyone to punish the Heat for playing their small ball game.
Laugh all you want but during the Thibs era the Bulls have held Miami well-below their seasonal averages for PPG / 3PT FG%; where they have struggled is a lack of execution on Offense... and again, the reason is because of a lack of rhythm / chemistry due to all the injuries.
Case in point: The core of Rose-Noah-Deng-Boozer has played only 59 (of 230) games together since the 2010-11 season.
Give them a full season of relative health and this team is more than capable of beating the Heat.
All that and they still keep losing? Someone major on the Heat will have to go down for the Bulls to beat them in a 7 game series. I just dont see it but you are entitled to dream.
What do you mean "still"... the Bulls lost Rose/Noah and Rose/Deng/Hinrich in the playoff the last 2 years.
Did you forget...?
No i did not forget. I'm saying it wont make a difference. They couldn't beat the Heat the first year when they were healthy. Heat have gone on and gotten way better and won rings. Bulls are still finding their way.

ROFL... I wondered how long it would be before you brought up 2011, as if that has anything whatsoever to do with 2014.
So basically you have nothing.
3 years ago when the Bulls were starting Keith Bogans at SG....Cmon
I dont play for the Heat So no ring for me. The Heat have 2 rings since then and the Bulls have zero. You better hope someone else knocks off the Heat or you guys wont have a chance at all.
Using Heat fan logic the 2014 Mavs are the best team in the NBA today because they beat Miami in 2011.
lol
I see you are slipping into delusion now and have no understanding of basketball. Talk to me when the Bulls beat the Heat in 7.
