gpikeChicago needs a win in game four of the Eastern Finals
May 24th 2011 01:01
Miami, led by a steady stream of Chris Bosh defeated Chicago, 96-85 on Sunday night. Chicago needs to rebound with a win on Tuesday or risk falling into a huge hole. Miami doesn't have much after the big three, but Chicago is not taking advantage of this deficiency.
Bosh led all scorers with 34 points in the game. This is the forwards second 30-point game of the series after struggling versus Philadelphia, and Boston before in the playoffs. Lebron James scored 22 points, and Dwayne Wade added 17. Wade's defense on Chicago's MVP Derrick Rose is more important to the team's win then Bosh's scoring output. Holding Rose to just 20 points for the second straight game has put a clamp on what Chicago normally does offensively. Miami only played eight players in the game with Mario Chalmers, Udonis Haslem, and Mike Miller as the reserves used. This is showing what we all feared, Miami can win even against the best with only three great players and a bunch of nobody's.
Carlos Boozer had a good game for the Bulls in leading the team with 26 points. The forward from Duke also had 17 rebounds in the game. Rose needs to be more aggresive for the Bulls if they hope to advance to the next round. Luol Deng needs to look more for his shot and not be content with just taking 13 shots. Rose and Boozer need help here to hold of this raging Heat club.
Things come around for head coach Tom Thibodeau and the Bulls on Tuesday. I feel Chicago is the better of the two teams, and am not ready to write them off after losing on Sunday. Rose and Deng team up in the early going in propelling Chicago to a great start. The big three on Miami will find ways to keep things close, but this is Chicago's game to win. If Miami can somehow find a way to win game four, then the series is over.
