Old one at 30.

Monday, May 6th

Chicago Bulls at Miami Heat – Game 1, 7:00/4:00 PM, TNT

Golden State Warriors at San Antonio Spurs – Game 1, 9:30/6:30 PM, TNT

And

Kirk Hinrich (bruised calf) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 1 in Miami.
Luol Deng (illness) won't play in Game 1 and the Bulls are "hopeful" that he'll join the team in Miami on Tuesday.

Bulls aren't doing half bad. Hope they can keep it up.

The Chicago Bulls are poised to inherit the 'Tough team that doesn't say die' mantly the Celtics once had. You don't beat this team. You survive them.

Only reason is because the Heat are rusty. The team should be up double digits by now with the way they've been getting looks.

And it looks like the guy who didn't vote LeBron the MVP is happy right now, because LeBron had a horrible first half.

Maybe they should have been practicing more?

With that much of a layover between games, I'm not surprised the Heat started off ice cold.

[Unocal 76]

Part of this is the Bulls.

I couldn't have seen Brooklyn exploiting Miami's layoff rust this well.

Somebody needs to tell Golden State that they're about to face a team that's going to kill them and they need to stop dancing around.

Wade is still a baby.

If the Heat don't respond soon to how crappy they played against the Bulls tonight, you can kiss any hope of the Heat repeating goodbye.

The Chicago Bulls make me sick.

[vm88]

Hate to double post, but I don't think the Heat are surviving the Bulls. I had hopes that Heat were going to win the series, but my worst fears just came true after tonight. And I know it's just game 1, but the Bulls are tough to beat at home.

Because they have more heart than the Heat?

YOU CANNOT KILL THE CHICAGO BULLS!

NOTHING CAN STOP THEM!

The Miami Heat allowed Nate Robinson to score 27 points on them?!



Seriously, the Heat just got schooled by a Deng-less and Hinrich-less Bulls team.......

Now granted the Heat were rusty, but still, they need to shake off that rust quick. They lose Game 2.......well....um.....things get real interesting real quick.

After the Heat's performance tonight, I agree.

The Heat NEED to wake up and realize their hopes of repeating as NBA Champions are slipping away.

Healthy Bulls vs. Healthy Heat would be NBA Finals-caliber. These two teams always have tough battles.
