Bulls-vs-Heat Game 3 Discussion

[nwfisch]

It isn't straight BS. Miami was getting fouls, while they weren't calling fouls on the other end. Atleast 5-8 missed calls.

But I do agree that the better team is winning right now. The Bulls themselves shouldn't be using fouls as an excuse. They need to play tougher and also show up in the 4th quarter.

When you lose by 10+ pts. each time, you really can't blame the refs before looking in the mirror first.

Let's stop pretending. This series is over. This team cannot play efficient on offense against the heat unless we drain 3s.

And yes the officiating is straight trash. Those who say dont complain about the refs, get off ur high horse. Bulls didn't sand a chance against a wade/James team.

I agree. I dont even see how we win another game. We'll become to he first team in NBA history to blow out the opponent in Game 1 and then not win the series, let alone win another game. We'll also become the first time to sweep a regular season series and not win the playoff series. This is the first time since December I have absolutely no confidence in this team to win.

We play like absolute crap. Derrick Rose is completely neutralized and has done nothing in the 4th quarter the past two games. That is why we're not winning these games. We're a 1 man squad right now because no one else can step up on offense except Boozer and well, we know what his problems are defensively.

The refs were rather horribly this game, and its not likely to get any better in Game 4. That said, smart play and guys being aggressive can allow you to overcome refs, but we're not going to be able to overcome that. Tonight we won the rebound match-up and 2nd chance points and we still cant win. We're also allowing Miami to shoot over 50% from the field. That isn't going to get us wins either. Miami has the perfect defense for us, and Thibs seems lost on what to do about it.

Bosh and Lebron were free agents, Allen and KG were traded.

Also, he didn't really take a pay cut to go to Miami because the taxes in Florida are lower when compared to Illinois or New York. When you are making $20 million as compared to $23 million, that makes up for the "pay cut."

um..i know that allen and kg were traded...but that doesnt mean they couldnt have handled the whole trade thing irresponsibly...

as for the second thing...idk if the taxes make that much of a difference..but w/e

basically i'm leaving it at

lebron is hated for his handling of his decision, not necessarily where he went

and

that his hate is a wee bit blown out of proportion

but that doesn't mean its wrong to hate him because he was irresponsible and cocky..but its nothing new

and im done

fWe don't have the FIRE POWER OFFENSIVELY!

I think our weakness is finally being exposed especially the last 2 Games, Miami is not going to let Rose beat them obviously and with them focusing on him and with us really not having any other player that can create his own shot, that makes it extremely tough to score...plus Miami plays pretty good defense

Boozer finally stepped up but...NOBODY ELSE DID!

Need more FIRE POWER OFFENSIVELY, PLAY RASUAL BUTLER!!! He can shoot and defend! Unlike Korver who can shoot but is a Liability Defensively! I am done with with Korver by the way, that guy does some stupid stuff Defensively

All of this ref talk is straight b.s. The better team is winning right now. I don't think the refs can be blamed. Unless Rose plays more of a disciplined game...they have no chance at all...

So why is it that our starters have more fouls against them? Miami doesn't get penalized when the clock is delayed or they have 6 men on the floor? Houh to pretned like the refs have nothing to do with some of the Heat's succees is just ignorant I agree that the Heat are scoring better and we aren't but some calls are just bad like Noah getting called for a foul 5 seconds into the game or Haslem still moving while a charge is called

I don't see anyone blaming the refs, but it is certainly a valid point when people call them on missed calls.

2.5? After the way Bosh has played thus far in this series they are a big 3. He has really stepped up and i really didn't think he had it in him.

Well when you're being set up by Lebron James for easy shots then getting touch foul and1's, you sure as hell better score 32 points. I know he made some tough shots, but his shots were all bunnies pretty much. Speaking of bunnies, funny how the Bulls can't get any. What the heck happened to our offense? Clearly we can't draw fouls for whatever reason unless it's so obvious that the refs have to call it just to appear impartial. Booze got robbed a couple times at the rim by Lebron though. Still, 12 ftas to his credit. We need more of that from him and for Rose to start playing like the MVP. Rose has just been hard to watch. Nice to see he cut down on the 3s, but he's missing layups he HAS to make. All in all, the refs are mugging us, but we have to knock down the shots that we can get.

Them outscoring us is just them out scoring us. We had no answer for Bosh again and we could really score on the other end. But like I said before to prentend like the Heat aren't being pampered is down right stupid, until I see us getting away with 6 men on the floor or a moving charge in this series you can't really say otherwise

 

[Shakes]

Can't blame the refs the last couple of games when Rose & Noah have both played like shit. You don't win too many conference finals games when your best two players play badly.

When did Noah become our best player and Rose will get neutralized when the 4th comes around because no ne else will step up. By the way Noah had 5 fouls so what did you want him to do?

 

[FuninDaSun]

I'm speechless........ The refs were really one-sided, but the Heat were playing a good game too.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

lol noah did have 6 assists or something....

Pay him no mind, he's secretly rooting for Miami.

I haven't seen the Bulls use fouls as an excuse...I see you doing it...we should just admit that Miami won the game legit and come back next game and hope for something different to happen.

I said the two best players, which is generally considered to be Rose and Noah by virtually everyone. And despite the fouls Noah was on the floor for 29 minutes, he wasn't very good while he was out there. Regardless of whether you think the refs were harsh on him early he compounded it himself with a stupid over the back foul on a rebound Gibson probably would have gotten anyway (costing the team a bucket in the process).

You don't see me doing it, because I'm not. Learn to read.

It is one factor amongst many on why it is a 2-1 series.

No they weren't because several members just said do, I don't care if you're a heat fan or not. Heat played a really good game and Bosh has stepped up big time

 

[Glide2keva]

Miami hit great shots, but damn if the refs didn't set the tone early (Noah foul 5 seconds into the game?), and then allowing the heat to maul the Bulls and no fouls being called, but the Bulls breathe lightly on the heat and there's a foul called. Free points.

Miami won this game as much as they had help.

Noah is not our second best player.
