I think they've been much more consistent against better teams than Chicago has been. Miami played some close ones against Philly but my impression is that they were in control and just didn't put Philly away. I thought Indiana outplayed Chicago in at least three and maybe four of those games. I thought Atlanta did whatever they wanted to do and the reason they didn't win was because they are Atlanta, not because Chicago took it from them, except for the last game.
I think the Heat overreacted to Rose in game one and left shooters open when they didn't need to. I think from here on out, they will do a better job of staying on the shooters and boxing out on the boards and if that means that Rose gets to get free a little more in the lane, so be it. I think that with this team, you take the same rules you used to take against Jordan, Iverson, and Bryant and that is that you let them get 50 or 60 if they can but don't let others hurt you. Overall, I just don't think Chicago has the talent to beat Miami in a series.
