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.

wow, what a bunch of tremendous over reaction to 1 game. So many burials of the Heat. The NBA playoffs change from game to game. Dont be so quick to crown your champions

I like this one bettah:


A true sage, soothsayer and prophet, right on analysis KG. Wonder what happened to the bull are going to sweep talk?





And when name calling, you fail in a colossal way once again in stealing another posters original name call.



This is called being.."stupid."





Yes...."stupid."

Well, if you didn't make any predictions yourself, isn't that kind of cheap?

It goes without saying that I'm wrong all the time so if you want to pound on my mistakes you will have plenty of fodder. If you want anyone to engage with you though, you will have to put your picks and opinions out there as well...before the event takes place.

I am on record in saying the bulls will win game 5.

I gave up picking sporting events about 20 years ago. I will put up some horse pics in advance though. I have noticed in the past history of NBA playoffs usually what will happen is the opposite of the game before. So based on that, Bulls have a shot. I would say they will need to get very hot on their threes again to take some pressure off Rose

I have found that Mr. Swift will not answer these types of leading question as the answers may tend to vaporize him.
