NBA: *** NBA Playoffs Thread V2.0 ***

Really hope they can put this kind of effort out the whole series. Don't see them pulling it off though, especially if none of the injured come back. Too much talent difference.

Game 2 with no Hinrich and Deng and heavy 3rd string minutes = no chance.

If they get Hinrich or especially Hinrich and Deng back for games 3 and 4 at home they could make it interesting. I mean all they need to do is win one more home game out of two to make a six game series.
 
Heat fans and CyJack:

Y'all looking SHHAAKKKKKYYY BAABYYYY
 
It's important for the Bulls that they keep drawing officials that are willing to let the teams play. Lot's of no calls on both ends that probably should have been called fouls. The difference is Miami rotates more players thus spreads the fouls out more.
 
Huge Bulls fan, and love the effort...but fully expect the Heat to spank the Bulls in Game 2. This Bulls team has the what it takes to win close games. I see the series starting out 2-2, and the Heat will win it in 6.
 
Royce should totally start talking crap on twitter to Lebron. Already took Durant on, so why not. He couldn't possibly look worse than he already does.

They only really have 5-6 players who should be seeing major NBA playoff minutes. Noah, Boozer, Butler, Gibson and Robinson are the only players who would see many minutes if the team were healthy and Robinson would get maybe 8-10 mpg if Rose and Hinrich were healthy. Belinelli has never seen these kind of minutes in a Bulls uni.

I've watched every minute of the Bulls playoffs but might take on a home improvement project to stay away from the TV during game 2.

I agree with you, that's why it's important that the refs let them play. Their style of play is going to get them foul calls regardless but they can't afford to lose players to foul-outs.

I was probably one of the few people who thought the Bulls had a decent chance in this game...but that went with the caveat that they would get spanked in Game 2 if it happened.
