Just beaten by a freak and their own lack of poise down the stretch. For such a good free throw shooting team to not even get to the line in the last 5 minutes enough times to ice the game is a shame for them.


Still not over though i suppose. A young team with a never say die attitude. I can see them getting the next one then its all back on again


The only certainty in basketball is uncertainty. You just don't get that far in front so close to the end without being good enough. Durant draws a few fouls, gets to the line and even Dirk can't save the mavs. But I think that was demoralising for OKC. Probably fired their best shot, at home coming off a home loss and to cough it up is massively disappointing for them. Dallas will want to finish it off at home and sit back and relax while Chicago and Miami slug it out.


Yeah true, I would like to see the fight back to make this playoffs continue to be the greatest I have ever seen, we have had it all so why not a comeback from 3-1 down lol.

Bulls and heat is such a different series, bout to tune in and watch pre-game with my pick being the heat by under 5 with no team topping 85 points

Big game today, almost a knockout game for the Bulls. If we don't win today it is all over.

I just saw why the Bulls have the best record, that was an amazing closing.

They finished the quarter well but they still played pretty poorly. Too many turnovers for my liking and we can't afford to get early fouls in every quarter.

arent the next 2 in chicago?
i think chicago wont lose 2 in a row at home again.
and this win would give them alot of confidence going into those games.


im not saying its a definite its just my opinion

No it goes 1-1-1 so Chi-Mia-Chi.

Chicago need a big 4th here. Yet again turnovers are killing us, Miami have scored a lot of points of our TOs.

Losing Asik is massive as he gave good cover for Noah and is an excellent defender.

Turnovers been poor for both sides. Either side could have had a healthy lead if they'd protected the ball and taken advantage. But that's what pressure does.

I was surprised Asik played at all today. Chicago could probably play 1 game without him and get Boozer, Noah and Gibson to play some extra minutes but they now might have to play extra minutes for the whole rest of the series.

Rose has been getting into better position to protect the ball on his drives so far, something he didn't do in game 2 or 3.

Our offense turns to crap under pressure. Korver offering nothing as usual, he has done nothing this whole series.

We have no real cover with Asik out, him and Taj play great tandem D but it has meant more minutes for Noah. The guy will be knackered come the end of the game so might struggle to run it out.

He landed on Rose's foot last game and twisted his ankle, about a minute after coming on today he couldn't run so it was obviously no good.
