Bulls - Heat Telling Trends

[A Chosen Bullet]

In all four games they've played each other: Miami’s scoring output from 1st half to 2nd half in every game has dropped. In contrast, the Bulls scoring output from 1st half to 2nd half in every game has risen. Trends don’t lie. Bulls depth wears down the Big 2 ½ over the course of 48 minutes game in and game out…

Let the trend continue three more times!

Also...a team that swept an opponent in the regular season has never lost a 7 game series.

All these statistics really do not matter in the game of basketball, all games and series are different and they all take different twists and turns like thibb said
In the end it will all come down to who plays better

Its the truth breh, it all comes down to which TEAM is mentally prepared for the game and task at hand...clearly the bulls were ready and focused sunday night.

As they have been every time they've played Miami.

I think its when they have played 3+ times, remember the Jazz swept the Bulls one season and we all know what happened in that 7 game series

I heard the Heat have only scored 40 or more in the second half in only 1 of their 4 games. Im gonna guess game 3.

We all know the Bulls are a second half team but i dont want it to come down to halftime adjustments. I want the Bulls to outplay the Heat from tipoff.

The Heat must be confident in their game 2 adjustments because theyre going with the exact some lineup/inactives.

Ive actually been the one citing that stat all over the place. Actually, it was the first game (where LeBron didnt play). It went 43, 36, 37, 34.

I would like a clean game too. A big way to get that is cutting down on turnovers in the first half. But I look at the second half as the time when the the cream is supposed to rise to the top. Its generally assumed that it should be Wade and James asserting themselves in the second halves. At a certain point, you have to wonder if the Bulls defense is stronger than their offense.

I didnt read it anywhere, i heard it on the radio this morning.

I completely agree with the TOs. We only had 1 in the second half, 9 overall i think. Not sure if we can do that well but as long as we arent reckless, we'll be ok. Ive really liked the ball movement the past 3 games or so. That was one of our biggest issues during the first two series.

I love how our defense adjusted in game 1. The Heat only had 4 points in transition after that initial TO fest. But they did beat us in paint points, which is no good considering it was just Bosh for the most part.
