Can the Bulls beat Miami??

[cman88]

its pretty clear this year that there are 2 legit teams in the east(IMO) and everyone else is a step back...barring some upsets I see the ECF being Miami-Chicago again.

I just cant stand seeing Lebron go to the finals, but I just wonder with very little moves made, does Chicago have enough in the tank to get past them??

I feel to beat miami they need Boozer to play like he did against us for a whole series, and Rip hamilton to play like he did in the past..

I dont think so.  Theyve had lingering injuries all year and I dont think they're going to get it together in time.  They're going to need a big series out of Rip to win it.

Miami won the series last year but focusing all efforts on Rose and I think the same gameplan will lead to the same result

Of course they can.

Here in lies the problem with doing that though. Bulls still do not have a consistent second scorer outside of Rose. If Chicago had someone like Ray they would stand a great chance to knocking off Miami. Heat are still the team to beat.

Their star players need to do more against Miami than they have done in the past.

The supporting cast is doing their job. It's their big name players that are letting them down.

I still think the Heat are a bunch of head cases, if they have any doubt about whether or not they can beat you it can grow real quick during the course of a series. Unfortunately for the Bulls the Heat have no fear whatsoever of playing them in a series.

How much do the Bulls' chances improve if they trade a late first-round pick to Boston for Pietrus?
