re: Game 5: Bulls 91 @ Heat 94 - FINAL; Heat win 4-1; Good season Bulls :bow:

The Heat win 4-1 or 4-0 against a healthy Bulls team if they really want to.

Two years ago this same Bulls team played an inferrior (compared to today) Heat team. Result 4-1 Heat.

2013 Heat >>>>>> 2011 Heat.

Yall really don't remember how close those games were, do you.

Game 1 was a Bulls blowout, and the 4 Heat wins came down to the final 2-3 minutes of hte game, and 1 OT finish.

It amazes me that Nate can't find a spot as an off the bench scorer. He's pretty much talked his way out of town the last few years, even though he still has the ability to score in bunches.

Its a pity that teh Bulls probably won't be able to resign him. Hinrich is up for another year, and Marco may be cheaper.

Still, a Nate and DRose backcourt at points during a game would've been something to watch.

I don't know how different it would have been. How much better could deng have played than butler did? How much better could hinrich have played than Marco or Nate did? Those backups played out of their minds. Rose would've helped, but the bulls biggest advantage against the heat is their size and the passing of their big men. Put lebron on Rosé and it's easier to stop their offense running through him than it is running through Noah or boozer

He would have been, at least, as good as Butler but more than likely better. So you add another Butler or better, that's huge. Deng and Butler could take turns guarding LeBron. Just having this depth would have made a difference. Nate and Butler wouldn't have had to do so much with a healthy Rose, Hinrich, and Deng. And let's face it, Noah wasn't 100% either, although you wouldn't know it because of how hard he plays.

Bottom line, add a league MVP, 2x All-Star, and a solid guard (on both ends) in Hinrich...that makes a huge difference and isn't that crazy to think the Bulls could beat them. Some of you guys act like I'm saying they would sweep the Heat. It would be a damn good series and I really believe the Bulls would win. Sure Bron could shut down Rose, but with Deng and now the emergence of Butler, they'd have plenty enough to beat them.

it's really not that crazy at all if you think about it.

Wonder what the roster will look like next year.

Frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing Matt Barnes brought in for 1 season as a backup until Summer of 2014, when the Bulls will really have a chance to make a significant move when Boozer and possibly Deng come off the books.
