WEST SIDE STORY Report #6....the THRILLA in the Miami HEAT VIlla...BULLS throw NO ROCKS at the 305 BOYZ Throne...HEAT up 1..ZIP

Before I get into the REPORT...look left and take that HEAT faithful

17-4 BULLS vs the 14-5 HEAT at STAPLES West.....was a knockdown drag out.....ALI vs FRAZIER....MARVELOUS vs Sugar RAY duel that came down to missed free throws and poor execution from the 2 BEST Teams in the LOGO.

ROSE missed 2 crucial Free Throws and King JAMES followed and the BULLS couldn't even get the rebound. The funny thing was the BULLS NEVER led in this one and if they had they probably would have WON.

To the HEAT's Credit they kept the BULLS at bay with very tough HALF-COURT Type WINNING TIME D and the BULLS turned the ball over quite a bit. KING JAMES looked like KING KONG for at l;east 3 quarters then he did his disappearing act that the BLUEDUDE is accustomed to see in 4th Quarters from that DUDE. And there was a reason that COACH SPO of the HEAT had WADE COUNTY sitting there the whole 3rd quarter...to keep him fresh at the END and let KING JAMES do what he always do...for 3 quarters.

the BULLS received a great effort from their MVP Derrick ROSE but again it looks like ROSE has some HELP but he is doing way too much. It is cool to be humble and take the BLAME for your teammates but let them also make some plays not necessarily the SHOT but a play or TWO.

The BULLS D, the best in the NBA coming in ONLY giving up 87 points per, gave up a robust 58 at halftime to the HEAT and JAMES was eating and carrying the HEAT Load on O and D. KING JAMES had 35, 11 BOARDS, and 5 Helpers. ROSE matched him with 34, 6 and 6 but again those 2 Free Throws and NOT BLAMING POOH ROSE but those were HUGE Misses but miss them in JANUARY and NOT late MAY and early JUNE 2012.

The ONLY real good thing to come out of this is BULLS should-be 2012 ALL STAR Luol DENG was out with that WEEK to WEEK wrist injury. But make NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT...there are no MORAL Victories in the LOGO...NONE....take that L and MOVE on and that is what the BULLS will do as the HEAT to.

BULLS won't see the HEAT again until March 14th and by then the CREAM of the EAST will have risen to the TOP and hopefully the WEST SIDE Report by then.
