Joe johnson was fighting a foot injury throughout that series.

And Joakim Noah was doing what with his plantar fasciitis?

The Bulls have so much heart, it's just unbelievable to watch. Guys throwing up, dealing with the flu, injuries of all kinds, and they can still go out and win games on the road just by playing good D. As someone who plays ball competitive, it really is inspiring to watch them and Memphis. Blue collared and relying on each other more than anything else.

fail state warriors

They've been trying to lose games going back to the Nuggets series. Mission accomplished.

from personal experience, plantars fasciitis sucks ****, it ended my track career, it's really painful and a lot of the time, i can't even walk straight from it and to make matters worse...there is really no way to get rid of it

psh...joe johnson is a bum

That's what teamwork is all about. When one man goes down, another man has to step up & give his all to will his team to victory.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Bulls definitely have more heart than any other team in the league (not sure if Rose can be put in that category as well though).

Forgot to make my Round 2 predictions but I don't have time for descriptions cause I have a big test tomorrow:

Heat vs Bulls: Heat in 5

Knicks vs Pacers: Knicks in 7

Thunder vs Grizzlies: Grizzlies in 6

Spurs vs Warriors: Spurs in 6

Theres a hot rumor around my city (Chicago) saying that pooh gonna play G3.

Since my childhood friend & pooh both went to simeon high school together.
Yes, i knew derrick wayy before he left to memphis.

Pooh is like the chillest person ever.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I feel sorry for whoever's missing this Heat/Bulls game right now... Most physical game I've seen since the Big 3 era!

 

[theeboredone]

Leave those poor Bulls alone! The Heat are so mean!

D Rose after last night's game:

 

[theeboredone]

It would've been a blowout no matter what, but to see the refs not give T's to Wade after he threw the ball at Belleneli, and when Birdman shouldered him out of bounds is rather pathetic when the refs were being trigger heavy with the T.

 

[theeboredone]

Worthy of its own post. I lost. Courtesy of Zigsta.

 

[Coolwhip]

This series isn't over, by a long shot.

and for the so-called "experts" that's picking miami to win in 5 games are so stupid to the point where it isn't funny.

Bulls gonna be seeking a little something called retribution, and will rip it out of miami's chest.
We're gonna show miami how physical we can get.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

cant get any more physical than the last game

 

[Linguini]

bulls about to get bodied. drose iz *****

 

[Jane]

i'm feeling another 7 game series coming! hopefully the refs wont be as ******** throughout.

 

[SharkAttack]

Game 3 for both the IND/NY and MEM/OKC series are on Saturday? Feels weird not having a playoff game tonight. Oh well, at least all four teams will be fresh. I think they've all played every other night over the past week and a half.

 

[theeboredone]

The woman who flicked off Noah after the game...

"She's embarrassed, but she is being a good sport," Tobias' daughter, Victoria Racanati, told the newspaper. "She was having fun just like any other fan. All she has to say is that people need to get a life."

So I guess having fun means shoving your middle finger up someone's face? Jeez, some fans are just pathetic. The fact her daughter tried to defend her is even more asinine.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I thought she was probably drunk when I saw that pic. lol

These Rose jokes are just killing me man...

Linguini....your intelligence level must be very low. #SMH

 

[Linguini]

apparently not, seeing as how you lost last night.

[theeboredone]

So...who saw KD missing two straight free throws in the clutch?

 

[Jane]

i just watched the highlights. dont get me wrong, i love KD, but that **** was hilarious. crazy how bad their offense is without russ.

 

[theeboredone]

Even though KD missed his FTs, I'll defend him on other things.

1. He was tired. I watched the whole game, and he was far more explosive, running up and down in the first half. 4th quarter, he was gassed.
2. Because he was gassed, I think his shooting motion became a bit different. Less lift, release not "feeling" right. Happened to Curry in Game 1 vs the Spurs.
3. This is really shutting up the WB haters. Not only can WB wreck havoc by going to the hole and getting shooters open, but it spares KD's legs as well. Furthermore, Conley has emerged, and I consider WB a to be a good if not great defender.

Also, Ibaka is proving himself to not be a "cornerstone" player. I knew this would happen. Dude just doesn't "resonate" that will to be great. Still young, but now he's thinking too much to the point he's missing lay ups and dunks. I remember having a discussion about this with someone on here a while back about who to keep. I knew trading Harden was the wrong choice.

 

[mood4food77]

that knicks offense was freaking amazing last night -_-

at least iman shumper showed up to play

 

[The Real Gamer]

In hindsight that Harden trade was awful. OKC is likely to not even make the WCF because of it. Harden was one of their primary ball handlers and the other got injured.... what a shame. Still trying to figure out why they kept Perkins.

Not very surprised the Knicks are down 1-2 at all. They haven't been playing consistently good basketball since JR party all night Smith got ejected that one game. That entire series with Boston just proved how mentally weak this Knicks team is. Highly doubt they would have beaten Boston if Rondo was back. But nevertheless I still think they'll win this series in 7 but only if their players start playing as well as I expected them to.

 

[mood4food77]

roy hibbert is such a monster in the middle for the pacers
he's seriously the MVP of the series so far

 

[theeboredone]

"I don't need to flop," James said. "I play an aggressive game. I don't flop. I've never been one of those guys."

 

[Masmasher@]

dont really care if lebron flopped
he was in the right cause Mohammad tied him up, fell and then pushed him for something that he initiated
too bad dont lose your cool like that


and i said way back
i watch thunder games and theres times when durant goes cold and he needs westbrooks spark
he may take less shots but sometimes its good because he picks his spots very well

yeah he may need to be more aggressive and get more shots over the season but his stats get blown up larger because he makes them but he got the ball in REALLY good spots each time he got it.

 

[mood4food77]

oh god...that heat-knicks game 1

jeez were those refs lopsided

 

[Coolwhip]

apparently not, seeing as how you lost last night.

Who said i play for the bulls?

Yeah, you are from florida w/o question. #Lmao

Queen flop james.

 

[mood4food77]

2 years in a row, the defensive MVP makes the 2nd all defensive team

wtf NBA? stop drinking

 

[Jane]

I guess there's a conspiracy regarding some refs and miami

 

[The Real Gamer]

Heat are helping the Bulls set more playoff records (biggest margin of victory and lowest FG% in a quarter)... They should be thankful.

 

[Linguini]

lol.....like it says in my location

anyways 3-1 lehgo. haters step aside!

 

[Jane]

ok did perk just do a barrel roll and then cry for a foul? anyone else catch that? hahaha

 

[theeboredone]

Can't really blame the Bulls for not scoring much when your best offensive player is a 5'8 inconsistent shooter.

OKC looked so smooth in the first half with team play and then went to "hero ball" in the second half with KD. That was their downfall once again.

 

[The Real Gamer]

The West just gets more and more interesting every year. I thought we'd have a Heat/Thunder repeat for sure but now it's looking like both Memphis and Golden State are the up and coming teams that will challenge the Thunder's dominance. Then you also have great teams like the Nuggets, Spurs, and Clippers that you can't overlook... WC is stacked.

 

[theeboredone]

Clippers won't be so great if CP3 leaves. He doesn't get involved in management, but so long as they have VDN, and Griffin/Jordan not developing quick enough...they'll be first round exits.

More Rose jokes XD
