Chicago Bulls (39-39) @ Miami Heat (45-32) 4/7/2016 GT

Come on let's get that 3rd seed. :applause:

[WadeStan]

Dragic has really been on point the last few games. But our defense has really regressed since the ASB.

[DoctorP]

The Heat had little energy in the 1st half, Wade is trying but when he has to do too much Heat lose. If they don't pick it up this will be a L.

[PJR]

Pau is eating Ama're alive

Pau is eating Ama're alive

Pau is still elite in the post. Amare just dunked though

[bdreason]

Gasol can still control a game. :applause:

[WadeStan]

Dragic with a great play in the halfcourt. We'll need more of that in the coming months.

[PJR]

D-Gawd and Isolation Joeseph

[WadeStan]

Unintentional but they should review that. Flagrants have been called for less.

[Smoke117]

Even as a Heat fan calling that a flagrant pisses me off...jesus christ what a ***** call. It's just a perfect example of how soft the league is now ugh.

[bdreason]

I have no problem with the flagrant 1. He didn't make a play on the ball at all.

Yeah bad call but I'll take it :lol

Whiteside hooked McDermott's arm as they fell to the ground.


Made it look worse than what it was.

[bdreason]

That's gonna make Sportscenter.

[PJR]

Josh Richardson is the heir apparent bruh

[WadeStan]

Richardson :eek:

[r0drig0lac]

sheeet

[WadeStan]

Josh Richardson is the heir apparent bruh

Yep. Playing with the kind of swag Rookie Wade played with. Promising on both sides already.

[Crimsonrain777]

god damn Dat dunk.....

[WadeStan]

The great thing about Wade turnovers is that they always initiate a fast break. :banghead:

[PJR]

Max Wiltside

[WadeStan]

Thank you Miami

[LakersForlife]

miami gonna bouce the cavs

[D-Wait]

Whiteside = Goat

[WadeStan]

What foul, refs? :facepalm

edit: ok nvm

[ballinhun8]

We are pathetic with our energy but the amount of over the back that Whiteside gets away with is disgusting





But this is the story of our 2015/16 season. No heart and us fans trying to rationalize why we suck with this much talent.....even with injuries.

[bluechox2]

wade back on that hgh

[WadeStan]

Richardson is so polished, man

[LongLiveTheKing]

Richardson is legit.

[WadeStan]

Heat once again sending Da Bulls fishing... how many years is that :roll:

Only fair since we used to do it back in the day.


What. A. Time. that was lol

[bluechox2]

bulls bout to land that #1 pick

[jrong]

Josh Richardson is the heir apparent bruh

This has been my impression for about a month. He had a couple rough games mixed in there (if he gives us anything in LA, we don't dump to the Lakers and have the #3 seed now), but he's bounced back nicely.

He's fine as a PG now, but that's not his ultimate destination. He's the SG of the future when #3 goes into the rafters.

[Papaya Petee]

The two games that will decide the 3-5 seeds will be Atlanta vs Boston and Miami vs Boston. Hopefully Miami wins at Boston. Great game today.

I would say I'd rather have the #4 seed because I'd rather face the Cavs than Raptors in the second round. But, I want to play the Celtics even less than the Raps. Boston is the one team I absolutely do not want to see, preferably at all or till the ECFs. I'd be willing to tank for the #6 seed to avoid them in the first round if necessary.

While I don't want to play Boston at all, I would much rather verse Toronto than Cleveland in the 2nd round. Look, I wanna watch Lebron vs Wade as much as you do, but realistically we have a muchhigher chance of winning vs Toronto than Cleveland, and I want ECF more than anything.

Yeah, for a while I was debating if it would be better to get the 4 seed and get the Cavs earlier. Now I definitely want the 3 seed. I'm with you in that I'd rather have a better opportinity to go deeper in the playoffs and make the ECF.

As for tonight, very solid win against a team fighting for their playoff lives. I was worried about Wade after the neck and back issues (I was thinking "not again"), but he's looked healthy and sharp these past 2 games. The team looks focused and energized.

I can't speak for everyone, but I've been giving him a lot of praise since the all star break. He's done a great job of adjusting to Bosh's absence and he's also been a big part of the development of the young players. His game to game adjustments have always been solid, but this year he's improved his in-game adjustments. This season has been his best coaching job to date imo.
