Miami away

Bulls fans may have thought that the last Bulls/Heat game was as brutal as they come, with Thabo tossing away an inbound pass and then Marion getting an easy dunk to close us out in OT. Well, it was even worse this time as Wade put us away with a running toss in 2OT.

There were a lot of similarities between the two loses. The Bulls guards were good and the big guys were rubbish. The Heat got a lot of easy layups and dunks due to poor defense. Wade wanted it more than the Bulls did.

Gordon was almost the hero again, getting red hot in the fourth quarter. Salmons was also playing pretty well, as was Rose. Hinrich was mostly good while he was in but was clearly still hampered by injury.

Our big guys are so bad that it is scary. If we have any thoughts about long term plans with Tyrus and Noah, please, please, let them end now. These guys stink! Tyrus was so awful and so out of control that he was embarrassing. Vinny couldn't even play him with a short bench for much of the long game, and Vinny gives him lots of rope! Noah is the most uncoordinated player in the league. Don't the Bulls have a "walk and chew gum" test when they bring in potential draft picks? How could they possibly miss the fact that Noah has little control over his arms and legs? How did they miss the fact that Tyrus has the brain of a pea and is borderline psychotic?

Wade has flaws in his game and he blew as many big shots as he made, but he still has more guts than the Bulls combined. He deserved to be the hero and the Bulls deserved the agony of defeat. How they can let a team get so many uncontested dunks in OT is absurd. At least get close enough to foul the guy! We really look clueless in stretches on defense and if Vinny can't solve that he's going to have to go.
