Derrick Rose will win this game for his mother.

 

[BigP50]

I think so too. Im expecting a win tonight and then we close the series at home game 5.

 

[NealKleren]

The rest of our starters will have to step up a bit more than last time. If that happens I can see a win.

respect we usually have the early game but LA is on first

Its not really respect. The early game is on ABC, nationally televised everywhere for those who do not have cable.

however its just going hand in hand with this "torch passing" if you want to call it that........i think la will fall in 6 & i see boston falling also finals bulls v thunder/grizzlies

 

[BigP50]

uggghhh I wish the Bulls had the early game.

 

[WindyCity7]

LA will fall today. There's no way that series goes 6. And the Thunder or Grizzlies are not beating Dallas. They have been without question, the best team in the post-season & are the Championship favorites imho now.

I love the confidence you guys have in the Bulls. I'm just afraid comrade Stern will give lebitch and co. a title this year. Hope Boston can still take them out, but I'm worried about the Heat should we play them next.

But for now I'll just take things one game at a time. I think Rose will show up big once again tonight and we can hopefully close this series Tuesday night.

 

[BigP50]

I would not at all be surprised with a Celtics comeback. I believe they win game 4. From there its a 3 game series and the Celtics have all the confidence.

Why niot have faith in the Bulls? Best record in the NBA, 1 seed, MVP, Coach of the Year.

As a Chicago fan, I've seen my teams disappoint me too many times to have total faith. That and the fact that the media and comrade Stern love lebrick and his followers.

There will be plenty of time for LeBitch to get a title. If I were Stern I'd allow that team to get some better role players.

And when our team has won 62 games in the fashion which they did, we should be confident in our guys, even if they didn't play their best ball most of the Indiana series, nor Game 1 of this series (And did not play it offensively in Game 2).

You are definitely right. I know bron-bron has time, but I hope he never gets a title. :lol:

I too have had little reason to have any faith in my team. However, I have faith in this team. If this were the Bears, much like it was this past season for the Bears, I would have absolutely no faith in them.

The only thing is history is against the Bulls in all of this.

-The last several championships have had multiple All-Stars. We only had one.

-Not many championships have had an SG as bad as ours. Mario Elie is the only one that can compare to Bogans in reality (1999 Spurs)

-The MVP has not won a championship since Tim Duncan in 2003.

-#1 seed in the East has won the title just once in the past 12 years (2008 Celtics; before that the Chicago Bulls won three straight titles as a #1 seed).

Me too..I hate that guy with a passion.

 

[Diddy1122]

14-4 against the teams remaining in the playoffs, including our 2 wins against ATL thus far (ATL, Miami, Boston, Dallas, OKC, Memphis). I didn't include LA but that would make it 15-5 if LA didn't implode 2004-style & get swept out of the playoffs already. 14-4, that should give every Bulls fan confidence. Oh & having the MVP, COY, & the best D should also help.

Hawks going with big lineup. Jason Collins at center and Josh Smith at small forward. Marvin Williams out. Deng on JSmooth.-kcjohnson

ATL going big to battle us for in rebounding.

That's the only way they can get Horford going if we play like we did in game 3. Horford on Boozer = 30pt performance from Horford, and lucky for Bulls fans, that means Boozer will be on the bench quick with foul trouble.
