bit LTTP on Noah there, PD. He's been playing like this for a good 3 years. He's one of the most coveted big men in the whole league.
Well, I may have to eat some crow here
I thought the Heat's D was at least as good as Chicago's but the Bulls definitely looked stronger. It was like watching waves break against a cliff. Everything just got thrown back at the Heat, or picked off by the Bulls. I knew they would play balls-out but I wasn't expecting it to work this well on LeBron and Wade. Possibly there is some emotional hangover after finally beating the Celtics that is affecting those two, but if so, they deserve the loss. I'm not expecting the Bulls to score that many easy baskets going forward, but you never know. Their offense really feeds off the D, and I'm betting it feels REALLY GOOD saying no to LeBron and D-Wade
Shame about the Grizz but Durant and Westbrook figured them out at last, it seems. Still, they made an incredible run for an 8th seed and I'll be back on their bandwagon next season for sure.
