------------------------------

Rose, Deng, Boozer vs. Wade, Bron, & Bosh. This is a nice matchup for the Eastern Conference Championship. The Bulls swept the Heat in the regular season and put up the best regular season record in the league. To have any chance in this series, the Heat will have to take 1 of the first 2 games in Chicago. Derrick Rose will shine brightly in this matchup, but I still think King & Wade will find ways to win games over this club. Miami in 6.

[GritsRgreat]

Go Dookies!

I mean the Bulls.

[Kevin Greene]

Should be a great series. Home court ultimately prevails.

[Panthers128]

The Bulls will win the series. Miami doesn't have the depth or chemistry. They'll have their turn next year once they add a couple pieces and have a year under their belt together.

I thought Ilgauskas was from Lithuania.

[Eazy-E]

Hate the heat but have a feeling they will win this series. Heat over Bulls 4-2.

[HeatCheck]

Cheering for the Bulls but think that the Heat will win. I say this series goes 6.

[Darth Biscuit]

Heat in 7.

[TruCatzFan]

GRITS.. U got pie for your sig...

Heat in 6... Although my heart says SWEEP!!!

Edit: I don't care what anybody says, It's still WADE COUNTY baby!!!! 305 til I die!!!

Time to take them slippers off Rose... You're done son!!

[HeatCheck]

Rose already has 2 turnovers. Can't allow Heat to get out on that fastbreak.

[HeatCheck]

Wade has missed two layups now

[HeatCheck]

OMG!!! Gibson posterized Wade

[C47]

OMG!!! Gibson posterized Wade

Fight on Taj!!!:cool::biggrin5:

[HeatCheck]

Bulls second chance points are really keeping them in the game.
