This is a type of guy that I hope Danny Ainge gets for Boston soon. Barea is one heck of a guard. Even Nate Robinson wasn't that effective last season for the C's. Barea looks small but he's actually listed as 6'0".

Including shoes and 3 pairs of socks I bet.

Tommorrow (tonight for you guys in the States), I'm excited to watch game 2 between the Heat and the Bull's. For once, I'm excited in a non-Celtic playoff game. Let's see how Spoestra frees up James from Deng. And if Wade will tire out after guarding Rose. There will be adjustments on the Heat camp. They still feel they have one more chance to steal home court, and head to Miami feeling pretty good. One game can spell the difference. If Heat wins, they have the comfort of being able to lose one and win one a home and have the series still tied. But then again, they wouldn't have home court come game 7.

I didn't watch any Bulls vs. Mavs games this year, but if there is one guy in the league who is tall enough, quick enough and excels in defense it is Noah.

Unfortunately Bob. I feel the Mavs will close out the Bulls in 7 if Dirk remains hot. He has been totally unstoppable with that fall away one foot jumper over the defender's head

Home court advantage in the Finals goes to either Bulls or Heat and that 7th game with home court can prove huge
Heat defense shores up. Bulls not shooting well.
And a guy named Haslem comes out to spook the Bulls.

Haslem was the difference in tonight's game IMO
Too bad for the Bulls as I thought they were going to go 2-0

Yeah, Steve. Haslem was the x-factor, a man whom the Bulls never got prepared for. He was scrapping for rebounds and making key shots to keep them close and even lead. He was a member of the 2006 championship team that beat Dallas so he knows pressure and winning. Time for Coach Thibs to re-adjust for game 3. Rose was missing free throws, throwing forced 3's down the stretch, something that he normally does not do. They seem rattled by the tight defense of Miami as well. And of course, James is showing why he is the main attraction as a free agent by hitting those 3's and 2's down the last minutes, something he did in the Boston series as well. Boozer disappeared altogether.
It looks tight in the east. 7th game is like a normal expectation unless Miami wins 2 straight at home to make it 3-1. From there they should move into the Finals. Haslem is one of the few who became a hero after a serious injury, being on the DL for such a long time, and blending well at that. In the meantime, in the 'whatever happened to _______' category, whatever happened to Eddie House. Big time sniper down the stretch for the C's in '08, I don't even see him on the bench.
Only consolation for me is that the Bulls can't play any worse. Miami's D was obviously good, but Bulls stopped running any kind of offense. No pick 'n rolls which worked very well with Boozer in Game 1. Should have tried w/Korver in game two. Also, with Miami extending their defense so far out to trap, either the middle of the floor (top of the key area) or baseline cuts are open, but the Bulls didn't respond well w/ball movement.
I agree. Very early on, Bulls were missing their outside shots, unlike in Game 1 where everything they threw up basically went in. Bulls missed 10 free throws, which could have sent the game into OT. Too many overdribbling instead of short snappy passing to the inside man. There was even a 4th quarter 3 point shot of Korver that was inside the hoop but rattled out! I knew they were not going to win this game. Same as when Pierce missed the final shot on regulation in game 4 that sent the game to OT, I knew inside the C's would lose the game. Lady luck simply was not smiling. Another note is that the Bulls did lose game 1 at home to Atlanta, so it's nothing new. It's a 7 game series so they have to prove they can win on the road to advance to the Finals.

What amazed me is how completely opposite the Bulls played yesterday vs game one
The series will IMO all come down to whether Bulls can win one (hopefully 2) in Miami

Near halftime and this OKC-Dallas game is looking like yesterday's Heat-Bulls game, close and tight.
