Because it is not happening. Miami better hope they even get to the ECF's this year. They aren't a lock.
Neither are the Bulls.

Heck both can get swept in the first round.

Keep thinking that. Bulls are not getting swept and they WILL be in the ECF's. Have some belief in your team man.

I think they'll get there, along with Miami.

I just think it's silly to say that Miami is no lock to get the ECF when the Bulls are just as likely to not make the ECF.

I want Miami to get :sweep:t in the first round, but I don't think it's likely.

Hopefully the Heat get knocked out in the 1st or 2nd round.

NYK has an outside shot at it.

Having belief and having an opinion are different. Do I believe the Bulls can win it all? Yes. Is it a solid opinion? No. They have their strengths and weaknesses just like any team. Anything can happen to them at any point.

Until the Bulls beat the Heat in the playoffs, the Heat are the favorite to win. They are the defending Eastern Conference champs. The Bulls are also likely going to face a very experienced Boston Celtics team in the 2nd round. Will they beat them? Yes, but it will be a very tough series.

A Bulls-Heat series is a series that will be decided by a couple of bounces as I have said most of the year. If the Bulls get a couple of calls their way late and make their free throws, they can win (This of course also providing Derrick Rose is still playing). If they continue the trend that they have done all year of not making their free throws in the clutch, its going Miami's way again (The same can be said for Miami as they have missed some clutch free throws as well).

As far as the Finals, thats even more difficult to say. If its the Spurs, I think the Bulls win that. If its OKC, I'm picking OKC based on the better overall value that Durant and Westbrook provide to the team than Rose and our supporting cast does to ours. OKC has a good supporting cast too and better star power.

Thunder over Heat if Harden is healthy. Otherwise, Heat over Spurs.

weren't you the one who was trashing people here for "guaranteeing" that Miami was gonna go to the Finals? Now you're saying that Miami beating the Bulls is not going to happen?

it could easily happen. I think it will happen, obviously. I just don't see what's funny about it.

It's funny to me. I don't see Miami winning it this year and I don't see them as a lock to even make the ECF's.

No...you just laughed at him...as if your way of thinking is fact and divergent opinions are...to be laughed at. Never mind the plausibility of the argument...its the Bulls, so they can't lose, or you get laughed at...because this is a Bulls forum.

I f*cking hate Bulls fans who don't think we can win it all if you don't think the Bulls can win it all you need to GTFO. Why even watch the Bulls play if you don't think they can go all the way. :dunno:

I laughed at what he said, no he himself. I thought what he said was funny.

As if your way of thinking is fact
Pot, meet Kettle. You're both black.

and divergent opinions are,to be laughed at. Never mind the plausibility of the argument.
And you didn't get any sense of irony as you typed this?

It's the Bulls, so they can't lose, or you get laughed at, because this is a Bulls forum.
As opposed to thinking the Bulls can't win and it's cool. And last I checked, this IS a Bulls forum. Are we not allowed to be homerish here? And what's the problem with picking the Bulls, if that is their objective opinion?

You seem to have a problem, not me.

I've got an OKC-Miami finals with Miami beating OKC in Game 6.

If James Harden isn't cleared to play or is playing at 50% I've got San Antonio and Miami.

Let's hope Harden feels better.

I'm sick of San Antonio finals. The least fun team to watch in sports.

You are allowed to do whatever you want to do...the point is you shouldn't be hypocritical.

If you have a problem with me and others who bash or alienate or laugh at or belittle opinions you have because they are homerish...don't get act the same way when others are objective. Your wrong isn't justified...by your own standards you are still doing wrong.

If you are going to browbeat people who you believe don't respect others opinions...try leading by example.
