I agree. I am a huge bulls fan, and they are really good when healthy, but in a 7 game series, Miami would win the whole series 9 out of 10 times. Time to hang up the hats on this season. Rose and Deng are going to be out until at least Christmas next season, which also sucks.

I would love to see the Bulls somehow get rid of Boozer. He's soft, disappears at times, and is overpaid.

Even before the injuries I thought this team was missing something.

Not important, but I just saw Craig on TV. That was pretty neat.

this. Guy would be a starter and possibly an all star on any other team, but he seems content in his role in OKC. he's a stud.

Bulls are for sure out now. Such a shame, the 76ers got spanked in game 1 and the injury totally depleted them.

Also aside from the injuries the officiating in this game and the playoffs is horrible. The no call when Boozer got hammered going to the basket down 2 late in the game was total ********. It's hard enough to win 5 on 5 but even harder when it's 8 on 5.

The frustrating thing is, they had the $ freed up, and it was probably the right decision to get him if he was really the best available.

I will say, the no call on him getting face raked by two 76ers and then the ticky tack 10 seconds later was just atrocious today. 4 point swing in a 2 point game. They again did not play well, but that series of events was a huge WTF.

What the team needs more than anything is a second player who can make their own shot at an elite level. Deng can never quite be that guy. In terms of defense and passing they're excellent and incredibly deep. Deep enough that they should probably trade 1-3 of those defenders if they can get a guy who can create offense.

Anyone else excited about the Heat and Pacers in round 2? As a longtime Indy fan I'm biased, but I think that their depth and frontcourt size will pose problems for Miami. I'll still take the Heat in 6, but they're going to have to work harder than most fans expect.

Not excited but I'll be rooting like hell for Indy. Denver is throttling LA tonight and there will be a game 7. Ty Lawson was a freak tonight.

Very excited! I can't see them winning the series against the Heat, but I think it will be very competitive.

This entire year has been great. Having 5 or 6 guys who can go off at a given time is way better then a few years ago when the team was basically Danny Granger and then everyone else.

Its gonna be a fun series. I wonder how long it'll take Granger to get ****** off at Lebron.

It has been a lot of fun, but my concern is that their greatest strength is also their greatest weakness - no closer or go to guy. It's all scoring by committee or whoever has the hot hand. Who do they get the ball to when they need a bucket in the final moments? It's a problem that reared its ugly head in Game 1 against Orlando.

Still, I'm pumped to see the Pacers in the spotlight for once this year. For a young team that puts a lot of points on the board, the NBA has done a **** poor job of showcasing them.
