Gotta love how a new guy steps up in almost every Bulls game so far. Nate Robinson, Marco Belinelli, and Jimmy Butler all knocking down huge shots down the stretch to steal game 1 in Miami. Huge win for them.

Wow...what a game for the Bulls. This should wake the Heat up. Before I had the Heat in 6 but now I have them in 5 because they will "turn it up".
That 3 by Wade with a minute to go was the game. I am not sure what he was thinking there given that there was enough time on the shot clock and he's probably the worst 3 pt shooter amongst their top players (not counting the bigs).

Still calling Thunder winning the west.
Obviously Heat are favored for the finals.

I honestly think Chicago at full health is better than the Heat. All their strengths are MIA's weaknesses and they play extremely hard. Thibs has gotta be Coach of the Year. If only they can get that offense figured out, they're a perennial championship contender no question. It wouldn't shock me to see them win the series, though its extremely doubtful considering LeBron is probably going to have the eye of the tiger for the remainder of the series.

Watching Curry go to work is incredible to behold. I can't believe we might get two big upsets today against heavy favorites.

Motherfucking Spurs. I was gonna turn the game off but stuck with it. I think they should pull this out in OT. I really-really wanna see Spurs vs. Heat in the Finals.

What an exhausting game to follow. So many inexcusably bad errors by the Warriors, this was their game to steal. I don't think they'll go up by 16 against the Spurs again.

What I found shocking was the Spurs coverage on the high P&R. Curry was getting open look after open look from the top of the arc and it took the Spurs a long time to even make an adjustment where they forced Jack (also a good high P&R guy) to be the primary ball handler.
The Spurs missing Tiago Splitter was exposed last night with Bogut rebounding the way he was. Splitter is a smart passer and can play at the high post, which would drag Bogut outside the lane. As a result, we saw very little high-low sets with big to big interior passing.

The Bulls are the toughest team in the league by far! I don't understand why people felt this series would be easy for the Heat. The Heat historically struggle against teams with size and the Bulls have a lot of size. It's not a coincidence that the Heat have a losing record vs the Bulls since 2011. This series will be a tough six game series. Nothing will come easy.
I also agree that the Bulls are the better team when healthy. Unfortunately, I don't know if they have enough healthy bodies to get it done three more times in this series.

I was very surprised by the bulls win in Miami last night. Very good job by them. I didn't see the game because I thought Miami had it for sure. They may give Miami a run for their money, but at the end of the day, Miami still has this series, though I would like to see the Bulls take it.
And what a game and comeback between the GSW and Spurs. This it going to a be great series. I say Spurs take it though. The playoffs just got interesting folks.
