Game Preview #73 - Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat

I wouldn’t mind going back to South Beach after the game.

That would just be comical

I understand the thought of security if we say go 7-3 against mostly the crud to finish .500, that we might think we’re better than we are….but then come to think of it we would have been what 12-4…and that’s a damn good stretch.

I think this team needs confidence and think that winning at that kind of a clip to close the year could give us the mojo we lost 2 years ago. We have talent, our guys might see that using that talent for the team might be the best for them the individual, and who knows we’d have a better shot.

I certainly don’t think given the drubbings we’ve had against all the East big 3 that any of them would take that competition too lightly even if we went 12-4 to end the year (going 7-3 from here on out mostly against the muck)….it would build confidence for next year, which is what I want most from this team at this point…..I don’t think there’s any way we win a 1st round series, but we may be able to build up our confidence and get our youngs a chance to see the light if we compete hard to close this out and work hard in the playoffs. Incidentally I think our best chance at getting to 6 playoff games is against the Cavs (I think the Cavs are the best comp in the East, but I also think they’re the guys who match up the best of us against the big 3). I think the Celtics with a healthy Garnett are a 4 game series waiting to happen (Though I do think Clevelan could beat them and who knows with Orlando), I think we could steal a game from the streaky shooting Orlando, but would see saw more with 3 of the 4 losses as blowouts against them…..not quite a confidence booster….

That said though I still would rather us secure a playoff spot, and if that has to be #7, so be it.

looks like you’ve been taking posting lessons from majoy! :) Nicely done from what I could stand…we owe the Heat a beating after that last game, but we’ll see what happens now that Vinny really is playing mad scientist w/ the lineup.

Miami/Chicago games have been fun to watch all year, I expect this to be a nice one too.

playing w/ 1 hand than Hinrich with his little thumb bra he’s got goin…

I don’t have the self control to watch the game without first looking at the score – and if it’s a loss, it’s really depressing to watch.

The games with the Heat have been so close this year, it’d be super-great to have a decent lead at the end and avoid the semi-inevitable DWade steal giving Miami a chance to tie or win.

This is a different team than the one we saw before the allstar game…granted the trades helped, but our team is gelling and I think they can smell the playoffs. Matter of fact, they are hungry to get back to the post season…and may be the most dangerous team to face in the 1st round. Anways..Go Bulls!

who gives a shit about this season. this game is not necessary. maybe im being over protective but cmon he is the bulls future

i don’t want any part of LeCrab and his camera in the first round, cause we would be up against

the
world, the refs, TNT, ABC, ESPN.

We’ve run out of ways to lose to Miami. Winning is the only thing left to do. And seriously, after playing them so many times recently you’d think we’d go out there with a plan or something. I am hoping our guys watched a lot of tape.

tonight but Tim Thomas will not. Derrick is still in a lot of pain but will play. His high school will be there tonight and I think Vinny should have him start. He’s still in a lot of pain but Vinny could take him out after a few minutes.
