The real Chicago Bulls showed up last night a dominated the Atlanta Hawks from start to finish. The Bulls finished their series, winning 4 games to 2 and advanced to the Eastern Conference final round for the first time since Michael Jordan's last season with the Bulls 1998.

There was no court celebration like there was the night before when the Heat closed out their series with the Celtics though. Some Miami Heat players have suggested the celtics were their only competetion in the Eastern Conference, and many thought their wild celebration after beating the Celtic was a bit disrespectful toward the Bulls. We'll see.

Most of the national media talk is about how great the Miami Heat are playing, and how the Bulls can't beat them. But the Bulls won all 3 games between the 2 teams during the regular season. So can the Bulls beat the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals?

wonder how the Heat did this season against the Bulls? -- even tho the Bulls were without starting PF Carlos Boozer for 23 games
and were without starting center Joakim Noah for 34 games.

Not sure if serious, but I'll answer your question in case you don't have google. The Bulls won 3-0. All of the games were close. The first game was without Lebron. In the second game, Bosh went something like 1-18 from the field. The last game was where the Miami players were crying in the locker room following the loss.

I haven't seen any media outlet say that Chi can't beat Miami, but Miami is definitely the betting favorite to win the series. Chi definitely has a good shot at them. Although Bos lost 4-1, they played Miami close despite essentially missing a center and a 1-armed PG. Chi is playing 9 deep right now. 2.5 vs 9 is a match-up I love.

Thanks, I'd upvote you if vBulletin let me.
 
I'd have to say the sentimental favorites will be The Bulls to knock off The Heat. Around here only The Lakers are more despised then The Heat and I bet you around the country The Heat and LeBron and company are public enemy number one.

Absolutely they can. I believe this is a coin flip series and really think the Bulls can win it in 7. They actually matchup up pretty well with the Heat.

My prediction after the first round was Bulls/Thunder for the title, and I'll stick with that.

Game one ratings broke some records. And there might be a few Bulls fans in Cleveland until the end of May.

I think there are new Bulls fans all over the country. No one wants to see the Heat win anything after The Decision, followed by the pre-season celebration. If the Bulls impress, as they did in game 1, they just might be able to pull in a ton of new fans with their young and exciting style of play.

I believe you are right! I know in my gym most of the people I talk to want The Bulls to clobber The Heat at least.
 
Not really an NBA fan, but I would like to see the Heat win, if nothing else to shut up the Bull fans who are bitter that the decision didn't go their way.
 
None of the Bulls fans I know care that LeBron and Dwyane didn't choose to come to the Bulls. But a few are upset the way Dwyane played the Bulls and pretended to have interest, so he could hurt the Bulls' chances of signing other free agents, and benefit his Heat team, who he intended to re-sign with all along.
Bulls fans are happy the way things worked out, and why shouldn't they be, the Bulls are the best team in the NBA!

+1. And I lost all respect for him after he and his agent played the "good father" card about wanting to play in Chicago to be close to his kids and their mother.
 
I thought the Braves were the team that gets homered at home by the refs, but this is a lot of bad calls against the Bulls here in the 2nd quarter.

Thanks refs for BLOWING this game for the Bulls tonight! :mad:

I guess the NBA "powers that be" did not want to allow the Bulls to take a 2-0 lead. But the Bulls shooting let us down tonight too.

Miami up 84-75 with 29 secs left. 11-2 run for Miami now.
 
I think much of what went wrong tonight was the fault of the Bulls. Everything that went well Sunday, did not work tonight. Rose shot poorly, Korver couldn't make a shot, Boozer was invisible, and Deng played good defense, but was off on the offensive end. It didn't really look like the Heat defense was any different, I think the Bulls just stunk tonight.
 
I though the Heat competed a lot harder and were contesting a lot more shots and rebounding better. I did think the Bulls weren't very patient on offense and when they got the open outside shot they couldn't make them. Korver, when he's not making the outside shot, is a liability on the defensive end and the Heat took advantage of that in the last half of the 4th quarter. The Bulls need to tak 1 of the 2 games in Miami because I don' think they can beat the Heat 3 straight times.
