Interesting Notes

-Although the Heat won the two important matchups both games were very close
-Miami may be the 2 seed to Chicago's 7 seed but the road records are nearly identical
-Unsure on injuries to Posey and Jason Williams for Miami although last I heard Mourning won't be ready for the series

wtf bulls were 21-20 at home this season..eww that's so gross :ugh:

but w/e they are the hottest team in the league going into the playoffs while miami have been huge underachievers and plagued with injuries so this is gonna be a long series..even tho no one in chicago can really stop shaq..i got miami in like 6 or maybe 7 not sure :neutral:

[STYLEgod]

This is gonna be great for the Heat.

Chicago's help defense has been great at containing Wade. Now that he has to face them he'll learn what they're doing and how he can get around it. I just think he forces the issue cuz the Bulls have a rep for containing him and he tries to address that issue. He'll probably average 8 dimes in this series if he figures out how to play them.

This playoff schedule for the Heat would provide them enough experience and consistant competition than they've had most season. They should be a better team if they manage to advance through a series. So I say Heat in 6.

[STYLEgod]

Heat win game 1, 111-106. Next game..

[Parth]

Heat win game 1, 111-106. Next game..
this is the only game i really watchd .. liek the end of 4th ..omg it was an awesome game
if bulls made atleast one shot after 2 min .. bc they kept turnin over the ball .. which cost them the game, atleast the bulls made all the free throws to stay in the gamee

[STYLEgod]

Haslem Thrown Out Of Game 1 For Throwing Mouthpiece At Ref.

Heat forward Udonis Haslem was ejected from Game 1 and possibly may be facing a suspension after he threw his mouthpiece at ref Joey Crawford after a no call with 4:08 remaining in the the first half.

Haslem had 5 points and 7 rebounds before being tossed.

What a waste! It's not like he got punched in the face and there was no foul.. then again that REF Crawford is the guy no players like :lol:

Udonis got upset after his fall so he got up being frustrated and threw his mouthpiece at the Ref because he didn't get a call... :no:

[Parth]

I don't know whats happening to the Bulls thou.. BGordon scored 12 pts in Game 2 and this guy who I have never heard of came out of no where!! Andres Nocioni?? A forward who played for 39 mins scored 30 pts?? 13-15 FGM-A/3-3 3pts?? Heard of him? I can understand Hinrich with 29pts but whatever happen to Tyson Chandler cause I thought he was pretty good... he only scored an ugly 3 pts in 21 mins. :no:

..........but ANocioni with 30 pts? WTF?

James Posey of the Miami Heat has been suspended one game without pay for knocking Chicago’s Kirk Hinrich to the floor, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President Basketball Operations.

Posey was assessed a Flagrant Foul Penalty Two for the incident which occurred with 3:15 remaining in the fourth period of the Bulls’ 109-90 win over the visiting Heat at the United Center on April 27. Posey will miss Game 4 of the series, which will be played at the United Center on Sunday, April 30.

:lol:

[STYLEgod]

Amazing! Now the series are tied 2-2 after the Bulls win in Game 4 with 93-87 victory over the HEATS.

But lately from what I have been seeing.. the NBA officiating has been a mess lately (on everybody and all teams). This isn't good :lol: because it is damaging it's credibility to fans.

Did you see Wade getting upset over Payton.. :lol:

Then in Game 5 its all on the Bulls with foul trouble but Shaq was having another bad night with foul trouble who just had a baby 2 nights ago. 8lbs by the way.. ahem anyway Shaq tied a team record by attempting 10 freethrows in one quarter!! (first qtr)

The Heat won the series 4-2 after Game 6 113-96 victory.
