So how KG get bat so easy?  Man forget how to jump or wa? 
I find Miami were getting a little cocky just because they make some highlight plays.  It too early for that, the game was never far from Boston's reach.   
The next 2 games are the real test.

Go Heat!

Ah feel the best type of team tuh beat the Heat is an athletic type who will push the ball on dem and can score consistently. So I hope the Bulls get them selves together and Rose shake off that sprain ankle. Celtics making it rell easy for the Heat with their predictable, slow sets.

Incorrect... the Heat thrive on the running game.  The Celtics (and Lakers) play the ideal style (halfcourt game) of basketball to beat the Heat.  The Heat have a minimal inside presence to prevent opposing bigs from scoring and rebounding.  On offense they struggle in the halfcourt to find a rhythm and get into their sets (lack of a point guard)... the offense usually bogs down and becomes a 1-v-1 with either Wade or LeBron.  The Heat's best option is to get into the running game where their superior athleticism trumps every other team currently in the playoffs, with the exception of perhaps OKC (and Memphis, to a degree).  The Celtics are just old and slow and getting exposed against a younger, hungrier, more athletic squad.

Addendum... ANY team that can score consistently will more often than not beat other teams.

While you may disagree with my OPINION it does not mean my OPINION is incorrect as you stated and YOUR OPINION is correct or a fact. The Bulls are younger, just as hungry and way more athletic than the Heat; they also have the type of players who can and have matched up against the Heat and won.

Your "opinion" is lacking in basis... try dat on fuh size.  The Bulls may or may not beat the Heat, if they even survive to meet them in the Conference Finals, but FACT is that a running team only plays to the strength of the Heat, therefore isn't the best suited style for beating them.

[sinned]

not sure how anyone could say "way more athletic than the heat". lebron and d-wade are among the most athletic players in the league. at the point guard and center position you could say the heat are not athletic, but like bakes said, i think a fast-paced open court game actually plays into the heat's favor. although i think their defense can still be stifling in half-court but their offense could struggle if wade and lebron have to settle for jumpers.

overall, i think heat will be tough to beat

Brutal game 2 (to watch) between the Hawks and Bulls... both teams shot poorly from the field and the game never seemed to developed any flow.  Nice game by Jeff Teague though... if only they could get him, Crawford and Joe Johnson (two of my favorite NBA players) into a flow at the same time they'd be tough to beat.  Nice low-post battle between college team mates Noah and Horford... back at Fla. Horford was the man, but Noah more than holding his own... much as I don't like his ass too much.  Hawks only have to hold serve on their court now and it's game, set, match.  Easier said than done though.

Ironically enough those are the only two positions at which the Bulls are athletic... Rose and Noah.  Name another "athletic" player on that roster... I dare you.

Stoiakovic boy

Stojakovic??  Allyuh better figure out how to stop Nowitzki.... and flip Gasol over while yuh at it, because de side ah him dat was guarding Dirk done cook.

i think we can reach the east finals but the bulls can't beat heat as yet in the playoffs.  bulls need a scorer so rose can focus on being a true PG.

Luol Deng. But I right there with you that the Bulls are not more athletic than the Heat.

Ha ha.. yuh mean allyuh need ah PG so Rose could focus on being the scorer he is 

Luol Deng. But I right there with you that the Bulls are not more athletic than the Heat.

Him being the only other remote possibility I dun figure out dat answer long time.  Deng not athletic doh... when last yuh see him break somebody ankles or put ah man on ah poster.  He not de "jump out de gym" type neither.  I mighta say Gibson... but he so awkward that it hard to use "athletic" in the same sentence with him... reminds me of Drew Gooden.
