The Heat breaks out its best lineup to break away from Philly.

Bosh/Haslem/Miller/Wade/James. This is the lineup I feared when they first signed, and they are finally all healthy.

I wonder if Iguodouche still thinks he is awesome now

My god, can we get off the Heat's jock for like 2 seconds

they had the same lineup against the Bulls last year and against the Mavs in the finals. The breathless commentary about a team that finished 2nd last season and has the 3rd best record in the NBA is laughable. People talk about these guys like their the Jordan Bulls AFTER 3 championships.

He left James in to start the fourth. Three-pointers from Cole and Miller helped extend the lead to 10. Then it was eight. Then a timeout. Then out came the Big 5, but not before James told his four courtmates not to squander the rare opportunity.

Oh no, the big 5! Give me a break. I watched the Philly-Miami game. Philly doesn’t have a superstar to carry them like Rose and they don’t hit shots well enough from the outside to make Miami pay for collapsing into the paint. They would have lost that game the same way if Spo had put in Cole or Chalmers or Anthony. Its a bad matchup for Philly.

But I’m sure Miami will have another well hyped player-coaches meeting (i thought they called those practices?) like they do after every loss and come back better than EVER; until they lose again in which case they will go back to making excuses.

Absolutely!

I think not only National but local media have a lot to do with this fear over Miami. It’s almost to the point where it’s just assumed that Miami is the best team and we have no shot. It’s made people get to the point where if we don’t get Howard we’re condemned to basketball hell or something.

It’s like everyone was born in the mid ‘90s with no recollection of how the Bulls dynasty was created. If the ’88, and ’90 Bulls with the greatest player in his prime ever had to fight and claw to take down a dynasty, what make people think that there’s an easy route for us by trade or impossible without it. I truly believe that this year’s Bulls team is better than last year’s and Rose is better. We can beat the Heat.

Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!

I refuse to fear Mike Miller

Pat Riley is the devil.

the worst rebounder in that line up is chris bosh.

what the fuck is a big 5

most teams refer to that as a “starting lineup”

i am not afraid of the Heat

But I think Mike Miller is a very good player. He doesn’t get to handle the ball in Miami and it hurts his game. I’d LOVE to have him instead of Korver though. He’d be a great 6th man in Chicago.

Mike Miller hasn’t been a good player in quite a while. Maybe it’s the injuries but his game has definitely fallen off.

i think the best thing the bulls can do is cut down on the turnvers against the HEAT

if thye do that, i think we would win 80 percent of the time. That and rebounding will def be the key to beating these guys.

by Geo4MVP on Feb 5, 2012 3:31 PM CST reply actions

is it too much to ask for the bulls bigs to rebound like crazy against a team that starts

joel anthony and whose best lineup has chris bosh at center? yes, it is? ok, great— i just wanted to be sure.

noah going nuts in the playoffs is something to look for...

noah needs to tbe noah we watched against the celtics. If he can do what hes best at, I have no doubt in my mind we will not only rebound them, we will beat them.
