NBA Eastern Conference Finals Matchup And Prediction

The Celtics handled the Heat rather easily during the regular season going 3-1. The Heat won in the second game of the season while the Celtics took the latter three, but with one of those was a meaningless contest at the end of the season when playoff seeding had already been set.

Johnson: Without Hamilton, Bulls May Need To Make Trade

A shoulder injury threatens more games for the 34-year-old, and the Bulls may be forced to make a trade before the March 15 deadline.

After Game 5 Loss, Rose ‘Cut Himself Off From The Outside World’

For most fans, the pain of the Chicago Bulls losing to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals in May has long since subsided. But for Derrick Rose, getting over the 2010-11 season hasn’t been a quick process.

Kerr: If Bulls Play Their Game, They Have ‘Great Chance To Win’

After Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, Bulls fans were ready to welcome either the Mavericks or the Thunder to the United Center for the NBA Finals. But panic seems to have risen among some of those same fans after the last three games.

Bulls vs Heat – Keys To Game 5

The Eastern Conference finals took a dramatic turn for the Chicago Bulls following a 21-point rout of the Miami Heat in Game 1. Over their next three games, the Bulls would struggle in the second half and found themselves coming up short to the Heat.

Muller: The Bulls Magic Number: Nine?

After watching the Bulls do everything in their power to lose another game to the Heat in Game 4 of the conference Finals last night in Miami, Florida, the number nine–not three–is the number that popped into my head for the Bulls…not three.

Down 3-1, But Bulls Believe Series Is ‘Not Over’

In their biggest game of the season, the Chicago Bulls had a chance to end the game in regulation. And in that situation, there was only one person head coach Tom Thibodeau wanted taking that final shot.

Bulls ‘Not Taking Advantage’ Of An Ineffective Wade

So far this series, the Miami Heat’s Big 3 has really been the Big 2. LeBron James and Chris Bosh have had big games all series, but Chicago-native Dwyane Wade has struggled.

Sam Smith: Bulls ‘Had Their Shot’ In Game 4

Without facing elimination, Game 4 was about as close to a must-win game for the Chicago Bulls as you can get. Trailing 2-1 in the series, the Bulls could either come home tied or facing elimination.

Heading into Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau will be faced with some tough lineup decisions. The Bulls have a roster filled with players either talented offensively or defensively, but few who are both.
