IGT: Bulls vs. Heat Thursday 04/12/2012 7:00 p.m. CT

[RC_Skinny22]

What I don´t get is how many here in this forum don´t be happy about a big win.

Of course it´s only a regular season game. But is that a reason to say "Wait for the playoffs, wait for the playoffs!" What kind of attitude is that? I´m happy for every single victory. And I want the Bulls to win every single game!

Sure, I will be sad if the Bulls lose in the playoffs. And then I will think about why we didn´t win. But as long as it´s not all said and done, I´m happy and looking forward to the playoffs!

Just imagine the Bulls somehow win it all. I know I was happy after this game and will be after they win it all. And you will only be happy after that but you will be known as the guys who always didn´t trust their team and said why it should have been impossible.

Question:

Do the Bobcats quit playing because they don´t have a good chance to win a game? No! they start every single game and try to win. That´s what sports is all about!

Well...sorry if I didn't join in the revelry.

It would've been nice if you did man. I know you don't care to ingratiate yourself to other fans, but to let your hair down after an exciting game would've been nice.

But the problem is, I was minding my own business, and I stated that I am mostly concerned about Rose's health.

Yeah, he did look out of sync. I'm not worried about it though. He will be fine.

People could carry on with their victory celebrations. I didn't bust in and say "look at you idiots acting like its June!"

I didn't like how they called you out like that. It wasn't needed.

I thought it was a good game to watch. I didn't think too much was learned from this game. The Heat bench sucks and the Bulls' bench doesn't?

A lot was learned. It's not just about the Heat's bench, but more about how strong this Bulls team is. People have stepped up and it's showing.

Last year that was shown.

Actually, it wasn't shown last year. The main reason that they lost was because Rose had no other reliable scorer to count on. Boozer, Korver, Rip, Deng, Lucas, Taj have all stepped up to the plate in that arena.

Did the Bulls get "much" better? Hell no...they still have some of the same issues. Much better how? They still need another star in my opinion.

You want another star, but they don't NEED another star. They got much better because everyone is contributing consistently. You can't deny that. Internal improvement is just as important as external improvement.

You watched that game and can tell me that with the Heat having all of the big 3 in and all of them having good games and Rose not having a good game and they still lose the game and you don't see improvement from this team?

Come on man.

Opinion.

Opinion.

Just like what you you think is an opinion and not a fact.

Houheffna is wrong the Bulls don't need another star to win it all. Every game from last year's ECF was close except when the Bulls blew out the Heat in Game 1, the problem was that Boozer was playing hurt and Rose tried to do it all by himself but ran out of gas. In order for the Bulls to beat the Heat everyone has to be healthy, also Rip is a big upgrade over Bogans and that I believe will put us over the Heat.

For the record, they only played the Heat 3 times last year and won all three. They won Game 1 in a blowout and lost the next four in close games, including one where the Bulls gave up a 12 point 4th quarter lead. So let's not act like they just completely dominated the Bulls. They won, but it wasn't a slaughter.Miami isn't as much improved as some would have you believe.

Thank you!

 

[MSOADE54]

Yes because division titles are awesome!!!! They count for so much!!!

I'm not a big fan of Jim Rome but he just said on his show that LeBron will not win 5, 6, 7 or even 1 championship and I remember he picked the Heat over the Bulls last year. Also he said the Bulls BIG 3 BENCH Asik, Watson and Korver > Miami's BIG 3 James, Wade and Bosh.

Chauncey Billups just said on ESPN NBA Countdown that the Bulls team will be scary once Rose and Rip get clicking.

Thats a big if right now.

Thats a big if right now.

Not really because Rose just needs a few games to get that rust off.

So you think...the other issue is the two of them constantly getting injured this year...thats what I'm worried about..another injury.

If I made a joke about his last name, and the word Special person....would it be unoriginal/played out?

Yes, but Dan the Bastard would work.

Ok..and your point is?

Stop shitting all over people just because they have a different opinion than you.

Lebatard is saying basically what I've been saying that no one is giving the Bulls credit for. That this Bulls team is a LOT better than last year and Miami isn't as much improved than they were last year.
