We have beaten Chicago at half strength so i would rather play them although im also convinced we could beat the heat. people forget every time we have played the heat we have played them at half strength whether it was melo,shump,lin,or amare being injured

I believe we lost to them in Miami with all of them back.

Oh yeah that game was similar to todays game. although melo was like 60%,lin was exhausted,and baron just came back so he was like 50%

They trapped Lin all game, MDA did not adjust, and Melo took all the blame.

Lin's weakness is a defender that gives him constant pressure. How MDA did not have someone handle the ball and just let lin drive off a pass instead of leading the Off is lazy coaching(trying to be nice). They would leave him alone in the backcourt with a guy hounding him and then get pissed that he turned it over.

Whoever we play, we won't win if we don't rebound the ball and make our free throws. If today's game against Miami told me something is that we can beat them, but we need to be healthy and keep our compossure during the whole game. IMO, both Miami and Chicago are dangerous for different reasons. Miami doesn't have a strong bench but any of their big three guns can get on and make life misserable for you. We would've gotten a good lead today over them if it wasn't for Bosh.

Chicago actually seems to play better without Rose because their offense is spread and they don't rely on him for all the shots. Their bench is their winning hand, along with their rebounding.

I want whoever we get in the end. Of course, if I can get to #6, I do it.

Their frontline/size is insane.

Not really. Still no PG. And thats our biggest problem

Tough choice. I would certainly enjoy a Miami upset miles more.

That is something that I've been going back and forth on. The next best thing to winning the whole thing would be to take out the Heat

Like Alan Houston's shot to beat the heat. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM that was soooooo good.

Unless we get Lin back and Amare v2.0, I don't think we can go very far. Beating the heat might be our championship.

With Derrick Rose in and out of the lineup, Bulls are going to be a little tentative and not clicking on all cylinders.

Boston and Magic are totally impossible to catch at this point. You don't make up four games with 6 games to play.

Bring on the Bulls!

And this way we can beat Miami in the ECF! *keeps dreaming*
