Another thing the media keeps spouting off about...

"The Boston Celtics also won 3 out of 4 against Miami during the regular season."

OK, lets just go back and revisit the season for some relevant facts.

Boston's games came against Miami on Oct 26, Nov 11, Feb 13, and Apr 10.

Three of Bostons 4 games against Miami were before the all star break. The Heat were barely .500 after their first 17 to 20 games. Boston played them twice during this time.

Now lets look at when Chicago played Miami: Jan 15, Feb 24, and Mar 6. Two of Chicago's 3 games against Miami came after the all star break.

So these constant remarks are neglecting to consider that Boston caught them twice very early in the season and actually lost their most recent meeting in an ugly game. We also played Boston late in the season and played a so-so game and won by 17. Boston was barely .500 towards the end of the season and they played the worst team in the playoffs (the Knicks).

I dont understand why Boston is some reference point for how Miami will do against Chicago.

The Bulls wins are dismissed because Miami is so awesome sauce.

Boston was horrible after the all star break. They were never the same since then.

No one takes this into consideration either.

All the Bulls wins are dismissed with a "yeah, but" attitude.

None of it matters. We could have swept the first two series and Miami could have won two 7 game series and they would still be favored. I'm glad we're underdogs because our boys play more inspired that way. Miami celebrated like they won the title after they beat Boston. Let them look past us.

The one that upsets me the most is Michael Wilbon. That little bald headed tool claims to love his hometown, but has passively rooted for them all playoffs. He won't solidly say they will win. He's got one hand on Lebron's dick while asking the Bulls for a hand job.

**** you Wilbon!

It doesnt matter, but I like to think that mentally it help us, our guys know they can beat the Heat cuz they have.

I thought Wilbon said the Bulls would win in 7? He can't be too partial because he is an analyst. He can't be Stacey King...

i thought the bulls were 3-0 vs the heat in the regular season?

 

[Glide2keva]

We were. But those were "yeah, but" wins.

Like the first games was The Bulls won the game "yeah, but lebron didn't play" Noah didn't either but that doesn't matter, the Bulls don't get the injury excuse.

The second game went like this: The Bulls won "yeah, but Bosh went 1-18" No mention of the defensive effort on him and how the Bulls frustrated him to take bad shots that were wide open.

Third game?: The Bulls won "Yeah, but lebron missed the game winner at the end." Never mind the fact that The 2 1/2 men all scored over 20 points and they still lost.

The series? The Bulls swept "Yeah, but it was only by a total of 8 points." Never mind the fact that a win is a win.

There's always an excuse that the Bulls never have the luxury of having.
