Iv seen about 2 minutes of this game....but does it seem like LBJ is playing at another level? Or gear maybe? I know people have questioned his intensity before. He seems like he's gonna keep that from happening this year.

Its a wonder how this is still a 5 point game after the Heat had so much momentum in that 3rd Q.

Seems like the 3rd quarter took forever with all the shenangens that were going on.

He did this all playoffs last season, until about Game 3 of the Finals. Whether that was mental or Mavs D, not really important.

But he was amazing against the Bulls in the playoffs last season, while Wade was pretty much trash for most of the series. He just hates the Bulls going back to that CLE/CHI series in 09, I think. As good a defender as Deng generally is, LeBron consistently torches him.

The heat are abysmal on offense without Lebron on the floor.

He's so fun to watch when he plays like this. Idc if he's a dick or if people like him or not. I just want to see him play to his potential and skill level.

The bulls cant beat this team in the long haul.

The heat punked them 3 times and the bulls backed down 3 times. They're in their heads.

Not once did a Chicago big come defend his guard. Watch indianas fight tonight-- their star player got punked, and ALL 4 other players took up for him. The bulls were scared to confront bron and wade. The smallest guy on their team has more heart than boozer Gibson and the rest of them.

Agreed, especially if he shoots the amount he did last year. He was 32/98 in the Bulls four losses.

Their offense last year was Rose throwing up shots, and hoping to rebound whatever misses for easy putbacks. It worked great in G1, but once Haslem came back and the Heat focused on boxing out and rebounding the Bulls couldn't score.

The same thing is going on tonight. The Bulls are fueled by offensive rebounds. If you can stop that, you can beat them (pretty easily too). IF.

And 3's the couple times they beat the Heat this year, they went retarded on 3 pointers.

Disagree. This was a 3 point game with 8 minutes to go, despite the Bulls being outrebounded. Plus Rose is out too.

The Bulls losing tonight really isn't a surprise.

Well yea, I mean when they're lucky they all fall, but that's not the norm for them.

I just meant at their core that's why they're such a great team. They rebound and get extra possessions to make up for their inability to score. If you're able to prevent those extra possessions, they're a good team, but not great.

They are the 4th best 3 point shooting team in the league...
