I don't expect this again in the series and in that I mean keep Lebron and Wade from getting theirs. The Bulls were amazing last night but to keep those superstars down like that for four games is gonna be tough. At some point they will get theirs and the Bulls gotta be ready to weather the storm. Game 2 becomes so important since they play so well in Miami and splitting could be very dangerous for the Bulls. Losing game 2 could give the Heat the chance to go up 3-1 and Chicago has to bring that same energy and solid basketball to game 2. Just don't let up.

The Bulls did what I said would be a huge stat. Keep the Big three under 80 and they knocked it out of the park by holding them to 63. If the Bulls can keep them in the low 70s they should win this series. The game plan was to load up on Lebron and Wade and let Bosh get his. Thats why he was open so much in the paint and in the 18 foot area. Thats fine as long as you hold Lebron and Wade. So far so good. 

I will say I was pretty nervous once the game started. Two fast break dunks to start the game. Derrick Rose being careless with the ball. I thought "oh great, the two things that will bury us" but the Bulls cleaned it up and kept the Heat in a half court game. The turnovers(9) were kept in check after the sloppy start. 

Not gonna see that much. Deng out played Lebron for 90% of the game and was on point on both ends of the court. Deng getting some nice credit this morning on Mike and Mike and on ESPN which is well deserved since he is always the unsung hero. I know he may not shoot as well as he did last night but he can just stay in the realm of that. I expect Bron to come back and try his best to get to the rim and line. Deng will be ready.

Taj had two dunks that were some of the best dunks of the year(not named Griffen). Taj seems to be on this peak right now(great time) and I hope he can keep it up. He is just flowing with mojo right now and some of his defense last night was outstanding. To hold Lebron one on one is pretty much a huge plus for the Bulls for their four and five men on switches. Asik did pretty decent too when stuck on Bron a few times. He as well just keeps plugging along. I never get sick of seeing those two handed hammer dunks and I saw him giving some looks to the heat players after his And One baskets. Hes building swagger which was something he lacked just due to always thinking while playing. Not anymore. 

I was pretty much dead wrong about the Heat bench. I figured they would use them more. I thought they would figure they had to play them to win. Jones and Chalmers were the only two to see a lot of time with Jamaal of all people getting 10 mins. Miller,House and Haslem would see less then 10mins combine. I am guessing Haslem just sin't there yet since I figured to see more of him. Miller? I dunno why they refuse to play him but their is zero trust in that bench and the Bulls bench is light years better. So yeah I was wrong...
