“Any one care to argue the point that the Heat have the hardest road to the Finals (East)?? Unchallenged…… hilarious.”

I’ll take you up on that.. Indiana had a tougher road to the finals.

You just mock someone for bad grammar/spelling…. and you then make a comment about Chris “Bosch”….You really do make it too easy for people….

Jesus Christ….is this what this site has come to? Petty back and forth name calling over a basketball game? You don’t like what someone has to say to you? Close web page, walk away. Life will go on whether you team wins or loses or whether a complete stranger has a different opinion than yours.

dirtybird you are funny. Do you speak like you type?

I hope not.

BTW Bosch just scored 30 on your Bulls, he’s the last guy you should be talking about.

A hole meaning if u dont win it this year you guys will never win it for 5 more years, maybe a new coach will bring u closer but miami still wont have the pieces csuse stuck with 3 players with high contracts, unless u got ride of lebron or wade anyone wiuld pick them up for 110 million, but bosh noone wants that overpaid contract esspecially cause he isnt a superstar let alone a allstar when compared to abiut 10 other people in that position, amare is worth 110 but bosh isnt physical he resorts to shooting and gets thrown off too easy, not a 110 mill ayer 70-80 with 30 mill you can do alotand have better sucess this series will tell you if their in a whole or not for 5 years i think their stuck personally, call wenet that bad, tbe call that shouldbe been a T didnt get called when miami had 6 players playing the bulls lol i dont mind that, it just made spolestra look like a idiot! Lol

Yes they are in a hole.
Not a really deep one yet but just one loss away from it.

The Bulls won the 1st game, have home court advantage and Miami has not figured out how to beat this team yet. It is pretty late in the game to be trying and solve that at this point in the season.

By: philtration

philtration — Mon, 16 May 2011 19:40:02 +0000

I don’t mean him leaving Cleveland for Miami.
That was his choice and I understand why he felt he had to do it even if he handled it like a jerk.
I am talking about him quitting in the playoffs.

He quit on that team against Boston last year and everyone saw it.
He is still a kid in his head and he does not have the killer instinct needed to win it all.
THAT is why he had to join Wade’s team to get there.

What game were you watching?

By: southbeachtalent

southbeachtalent — Mon, 16 May 2011 19:23:08 +0000

Phil,

Keep in mind LeBron gave Cleveland 7 yrs. I’ll take that all day.

And even if we do lose in Chicago on Wednesday you know we’re taking two in Miami.

Far from over Phil, we aren’t going away that easy. I hope Wade has that highlight playing on a loop in his living room.

We are in the eastern conference finals and somehow we are in a hole? Sorry fellas can’t follow your logic. Lets see after Wednesday how these boards look. See you then.

Haha ur funny, you miami fans will stay on a sinking ship, and no lebron said he set hisself up to win 6 titles, its funny rose dont need any big name to win a championship ( we will see ), but with the bulls we have pieces to make moves and money to sign another piece to get deeper, jr smith or mayo, i like jr ith way better cause he dont back down, bulls will nonetheless get a upgrade this summer at the 2, miami has no pieces to make moves and no money to sign a decent player, bulls also is very young and got a coach who has them playing championship ball, newyork is gonna be tight if they get howard or paul, howard and stouldemire would be the best front court in nba, and paul will run the offense maybe better than nash ( props to nash) but dwight would be the better piece to be dominant and bring defense to the team and hope they all fall into his scheme! Bulls are the team clearly in east now , and will ne most likey netter next year an upgraded ( we will see ), but newyork will have a miami team plus a bench with more dominant players, bosh cant even be traded to a team cause he get 110million, and he puts out 18 &9 or what ever his stats are, bosh shouldnt be in miami, not a boozer fan but he gives you 20 & 10 for 70 or 80 million, with the difference you can get a nice pg and keep beasly for ur bench to come on for lebron, he plays good defense and can score esspecially on bench players who je would be playing, and u wouldve got him for cheap due to coming off a rookie contract! they dug their own hole! Crazy in the east with years to come!

I get it just fine southbeach.

I laughed when they did their little Ken and Barbie fashion show.
I also laughed when they over reacted to beating Boston the other day.
Lebron was so wrapped up in trying to create some “Iconic” image of himself down on one knee that he forgot that the Heat were not even close to winning the title yet.
He loves him some LeBron and he loves to cultivate his image and that seems more important to him than actually winning a ring.
Oh he wants a ring all right. He wants several but he wants them because he feels that it will add to his image and legacy.

Be honest…
Was signing Lebron, Wade and Bosh not enough to peak interest in the Heat down in Miami that they actually had to put on that stupid show?
I don’t remember Boston acting like that when they put together their version of “The Big 3”

Yeah, I never said that the Bulls would sweep either. That is really hard to do for any team but if Miami does not figure out how to beat Chicago real fast then the series may not go 6 games.
They cannot stick to the method that have been using because that has got them 4 losses in 4 tries.
If this does not go their way soon then LeBron will quit on them just like he did in Cleveland.
Miami still may come out and win game 2 and they had better do just that or else they are in deep doo doo.

The series is far from over but a Bulls win on Wednesday would be a big nail in the heat’s coffin.

You don’t get it phil,

It was a player intro for Miami, it was not nationally televised, not on ESPN or anywhere else for anyone else. As an owner you want to get your fans into the team and into the upcoming season, that’s what was done.

Now your telling me what I was thinking? I’ll tell you what I was thinking;

“Wow we just painted a huge target on our backs”.

I didn’t think we had won a thing, games have to played you know. Regardless you seem pretty hurt by the whole intro.. Don’t let it get to you.. life is too short.

southbeachtalent has lost perspective on reality like most Heat players/fans. They literally put as much marketing out as possible for people to pack the arena so they could parade the big three (and no other players that signed) in front of everyone. You call it player introductions? Why weren’t any other new signings there and why would you need Wade since he is not a new player?

The difference between Shaq and this situation is plain and simple….humor. Shaq was being funny with what he did. The big three was all business in flaunting the fact that they were already champions (before playing game 1 in the 2010-2011 season).

You can sit here all day and say that because of the way the NBA seeds teams the Heat have had a tougher time in the playoffs because they have had to play higher seeds. In reality, everyone who follows basketball knows that their playoff rankings are not truly accurate. Every year teams get hot/cool late in the season. Seeding, does not accuratly capture this when you have 16 teams making it to the postseason. Case in point is Boston. They ripped off a ton of wins for the majority of the season, trade away Perkins and scrape by for the rest of the season.

agreed bulls lose 2 in miami, still gona be drama, bulls in six way to keep it real, a true nba fan, just like lebron and wade had off night so will bulls, but now so will bosh remember he scored 30 with noah on him most were due to spacing of noah and thier pick an roll that will be addressed though and should be fixed

dirtybird2020 — Mon, 16 May 2011 17:04:27 +0000

Lets blog about who the starting 5 will be for miami in game 2?? cause bibby starting is a coaching error, chlamers should start. Their bigs make dont make a difference their all bums, haslem isnt gonna play better than anthony, so good luck thinking thats the answer! Odom would be a luxury right now! Man its hard to think miami even has a team let alome in playoffs they really only have 3 players the other two spots are like fill in the spaces questions when you think about whos gonna start! Lets talk about the next series, Chicago vs dallas, or chicago vs okc?? Dallas should win this series but i wouldnt put it passed this talented okc team, iean they do have the best player in the world! Chicago and dallas would ne a amazing matchup, can go either way now that dallas plays defense thanks to chandler! Okc is too young for a sufficating defense like chicago, westbrook would be at a disadvantage to rose, rose is just way smarter and coachable than westbrook, dang will play defense just as well as anyone in the nba on durrant but durrant will none the less get his hes the best player on the court! Now dallas and chicago would be alittle cross matching going on, noah would be on dirk, and boozer on chandler not good for bulls cause chandler will eat boozer on defense boards and nowitzki will be shooting from range meaning noah wont be clogging the paint getting boards or blocks, someone else will need to guard rose cause kidd dont have a chance on the denfensive end, hes good enough on the offensive end though cause he can still play but he is very smart! Bench mobs on both teams! This will be the idea championship cause u dont know whats gonna happen

I am a Bulls fan… but I expect this series to have plenty of drama still. That just seeems to be how the NBA works – a team can dominate one night, and then be dominated the next. The Bulls hit a lot of 3′s last night and both Wade and LeBron were off (though at least partly due to defense for sure). Next game the Bulls’ 3′s might not fall, and Wade and/or LeBron might find some way to go off (maybe foul trouble on Deng). If that happens, the game could be very tight.

I will still like the Bull’s chances in a tight-game scenario though, because they board so well and because they have a clear closer in Rose. But I expect some drama to come, and I do not at all believe that the Bulls will sweep. Heat get 2 in Miami, and Bulls win in 6.

Every other team just calls a press conference, has the new player or players hold up their new team jersey, answer a few questions and then get to work.
No flashing lights or smoke machines and stupid catwalk high fives.
They actually believed that they had won the title before a single game had been played and I am sure that you did too.
Hype.
It is bad enough for the media to shovel out this hype but when you create it yourself and then actually believe it too….

That was probably the most arrogant display in NBA history and that is why so many people can’t stand them.
