Bulls vs. Heat Game 2 Recap

Well this one wasn't close at all was it?

Aside from the lack of a Tyrus Thomas highlight, this was quite an enjoyable game for Bulls fans. Ben Gordon was hot early when Deng was cold. However, when the 4th quarter rolled around and Miami threatened to close the gap, Luol pretty much took over and scored at will.

The Heat looked flat and without any sense of urgency whatsoever. They simply got out-hustled. It was plain embarrassing to be Pat Riley tonight. Nocioni was his usual self prompting Steve Kerr to refer to him as a "Grabowski". In Chicago, that's quite an honor.

The Heat complained about the officiating in the last game. I think, although not perfect, the calls have been decent and fair with neither team really being favored. If the Heat are feeling sorry for themselves then these refs don't appear empathetic.

I really don't have much else to say on this one. Game 3 Friday in Miami. I expect a very physical game in a must win for the Heat.
