To be fair, the LeHeat lost plenty of Game 1s and then roared back and won the series.
It was amusing/comical that the Bulls (with nobody and everyone playing injured) won against Miami. But, seriously, the LeHeat should win the rest of the games to clinch the series.

^^gotta agree with that.
As for the Spurs-GSW, the worst thing that could have happened for the Warriors is that the lose a game they were winning handily.
There are no more secrets to them (not that there were any well hidden ones). They may steal one or 2 but the Spurs are not Denver. The Spurs will do what they do and adjust for a game they essentially lost, and clean up those mistakes.

It may or may not be a repeat of a situation the Heat has seen before. Will they win the next 4, hell its possible, then again its very possible they won't. I find it hard that a star studded team got beat by our hobbly players/bench, 3rd string guard. The Heat performed poorly and its inexcusable for defending champions and reigning MVP to score only 2 points in the first half. The Bulls will give them a run for their money, in the end the Heat will probably win the series, but I wouldn't be so confident just yet what Nasty Nate and the rest of the Bulls squad have to offer.

Guess not.

^^It'll likely be an ass-kicking today. It should be anyways.

Seriously, Fisher makes $3.4 million this season. What about making them add to team fouls, so that if a player tries it on someone, that opponent gets a free throw if they're over the limit? Or up the fines because $5,000 or $10,000 isn't anything to these guys.

The LeHeat didn't beat the Bulls by wide-enough of a margin.
So, this win is fail.

So do you guys wanna see Rose back? I dunno...
On one hand, it would be cool to see him back. On the other, trying to work your way back to game-speed in what's likely to be the most intense series this year is bad news. He may not be in sync, and worse, you risk more injuries.

I want to see Rose back...because watching him play is really a treat...but, if he's not ready, he's not ready. So, the waiting continues.
I just hope Chicago can get him some help next year.

Rose is catching all this flak for not being back yet, but he hasn't changed his stance since day 1, medical clearance or not; he'll come back when he feels he's ready. Anyone else doesn't have a say, certainly not us armchair warriors.
Anyway, the Heat certainly said a message tonight, same with the Warriors. Klay Thompson was beyond ridiculous, and made the Spurs pay for making him foul out early last game.

I just wanna believe. Bad enough Denver suffered yet another first round exit despite a near-60 win season.

Speaking of CoTY, George Karl won that honor, and the Nuggets' GM, Masai Ujiri won Executive of the Year this morning. The Manimal Kenneth Faried won a couple community awards as well, I believe.
Denver's winning everything except the one that really matters. Fuck man, the Warriors really ruined everything. They are vicious, cold, evil super villains in my eyes.

Can't remember the statistic they showed but in 2011 & 2012, when the Heat lost the first game, they swept in the next 4.

I think he should continue sitting. As much help as he might be, I think the Heat have made it clear they know they were way too relaxed in game 1, & seem ready to sweep now.

In regards to Rose I think there's more to the story than whats let out in the media all this talk about muscle memory and getting in game shape is a bunch of Bull (pun intended). Its hard for me to believe with all the injuries and sickness his teammates are going thru right now that he would just sit back and use these excuses while his team will eventually get demolished. A 75% Derrick Rose is better than a 100% Nate Robinson.

Wow, they did not score enough in today's victory. The LeHeat SUCK. What a bunch of underachievers.
I mean, c'mon...they are playing a Bulls team with NOBODY. Even my Grandma could dunk on the roster Thibs has on the hardwood. The LeHeat should be ashamed.

It's a good win by Miami but Wade has me worried with his injury. Memphis looks really good. Great win by them. Did anyone in the planet think Memphis might play Golden State for the West.
