The common knowledge was the Bulls struggled mightily against the Pacers and Hawks, and though perhaps true, they were brutally efficent against ATL in games 5 and 6 thus showing an upward trend, while Miami was definitely on a downward trend in the BOS series. Chicago's game 6 against ATL was the best playoff game by any team so far this year. Miami peaked in game 1 against BOS and has been steadily declining since.

Thus far Derek Rose has two arms still. Miami can certainly come back but I liked what I saw in game 1.
