Score One For The Deathstar

  You learned something tonight, Bulls fans.  You can shoot thirty four percent and miss
wide open shots against teams like Indiana and Atlanta but you can NOT do it against a
team as athletic as the Miami Heat.  Tonight, the old saying was never truer; great
players make shots.  The King finally awakened and single handily delivered the
haymakers that finally sent the Bulls to the canvas.  Though part of me fears that this
may be the genesis for the Heat's superior talent overpowering the will of the Bulls,
I am consoling myself with a simple eye test.  The Bulls did not hit shots.

And if you don't hit shots, you will not beat anyone in the NBA.  Especially the
Miami Heat.  Indeed, the numbers don't lie.  34 Percent from the field, 3 for 20
from behind the arc.  You felt the air seeping out of the UC when Kyle Korver
missed a wide open three with the game in doubt.  You hope, as a Bulls fan,
that this isn't a game that the Bulls will regret not stealing.  When it was tied at 73
and Miami was struggling to cover up, you felt that it was within reach.
But with every missed shot, opportunity slipped away, and you were just waiting
for Miami to finally deliver that one punch to get separation.  Then..... Three Ball
by the King.  Miami was finally in control.  In the final analysis though, 

I think that the truest words may have been spoken by Danny  Bernstein from
The Boers and Bernstein Show.  Playoff Basketball is all about the ebbs

and flows, each game differs.  It's the drama of the NBA Playoffs, the by product
of the chess match between opposing coaches.  So now it's onto Miami.
The chess match continues, the drama gets even higher.  Let's just hope that
Coach Tibs has enough moves in him to overcome the firepower of the Deathstar.
