Dwade and Lebron are killing it..

But,

The two of them together are both too dominant for their team. They've nearly eliminated Chris Bosh, and the rest of the team is hardly ever mentioned, which is sad. Tonight the bench only scored 12pts while lebron and dwade combined scored 67. Its also sad that their dominant personalities and the me-against-the-world attitudes are preventing many from rooting for such an exciting team. People loved and rooted for the Bulls when Micheal dominated, and people even love the Lakers and Kobe.

I've noticed that Athletic Capricorns usually become their best in solo sports. Which all brings me to wonder why it seems hard for us to be likeable team players, in general? As far as the miami heat, I can't say they will win the championship, but if they do so many basketball fans and basketball players will hate it when it should be a celebration. *shakes head*

Also, Dwade and Lebron have really bonded since joining together. They do everything together, which is because of that Capricorn understanding, I'm sure. However, I wonder how the rest of their team really feels about them. I can tell that Chris Bosh keeps a bit of a distance. In the end, if they do win, I just don't see it being much of a thrill behind the scenes for anyone other than lebron and dwade. I'm convinced that Capricorns are not the best at balancing or creating a positive flow of energy to those around. Why, why, why
?

None of this matters, since they'll have to go through Chi-Town. 😉 *Crossing Fingers That the Bulls Clinch Tonight*

As far as Capricorns being better solo athletes its like when I think of basketball, the team sport, I think of micheal jordan who is/was the most dominant face of the game. When it comes to solo sports like boxing and golf, Cappies like Muhammad Ali and Tiger Woods are the faces of the sport.

Even if lebron didn't go to Miami and won championships in Cleveland, I doubt he would be as likeable as a Kobe Bryant. Kobe could shine while the attention of how good derek fisher, shaq, rick fox and whoever else was one their championship winning team wasn't taken away. Even if Miami wins a championship, who from their team will be able to shine and get recognition for that ring along with them? Nobody on their team really steps up, but even if they did their efforts would still be completely overshadowed by Dwade and Lebron.

It makes sooooo much sense now if Dwade is a scorpio moon. He defintely gets his little revenge but he's still always so cool about everything. He got kevin back for pushing him by blocking one of his shots right after.

I thought D wade was an aquarius

true..i'd attribute woods and ali's abilities more to a cap's drive for excellence rather than a conscious effort not to be a team player.

i agree that the team should always get recognition but most of the heat players are complementary..fair or not, it's a star driven league

Conscious effort not to be a team player? That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm sure they take their work very seriously and are very dedicated to their teams. I just notice that the athletic Capricorns who stand out the most are not part of a team. I don't think it's a conscious effort to be dominant, that's just a natural trait that I think Caps like Lebron, although a great player, will struggle with being dominant, yet not eliminating the rest of the team.

i misspoke, i didn't mean that either. examples are subjective. ali hasn't boxed since the early 80's..and typical cap tiger hasn't won anything since he cheated on his wife (cappy beating himself up? 🙂and there's probably a host of athletes of every sign including cap so i had trouble finding a clear association..you could be right about lebron as he hasn't won anything yet..i guess time will tell

No Ali hasnt boxed since the 80s and yes Tiger is on a loosing streak, but they are both two of the best at their game. Nobody will dominate boxing like Ali, just as no-one will probably dominate golf like Tiger. That's why I used them as examples. They reached the top and are faces that are instantly associated with the sport.

Also, speaking of Tiger. I just feel so bad for him. I believe he is beating himself up and definitely broken within. Its so sad to see him take himself out because nobody is being as hard on Tiger as Tiger is being on himself. I can pretty much guarantee that. I just hope he gets it together and re-build from within, which will probably be a long process, but hopefully he's working on it.

BULLS!!!!!

The Bulls are a defensive team, first. The Heat won't be runnin and gunnin against the Bulls. BULLS IN 5!!! I hope. 😄

The Bulls became The Legendary Team it is thank to a certain Virgo..The Master of Masters: Phil Jackson 😉

Shaka, you know that makes no sense at all! HaHaHa! The Bulls have always been legendary! Even though the current coach is a Cappy.

The Bulls never had the legendary status they have in the world right now if it werent for the 90's Bulls Team led by Phil Jackson and MJ.

I think Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen would have something to say about that. Everyone here knows that you can't have a championship team without Jerry Reinsdorf and Jerry Krause. Phil Jackson was a decent coach with a plethora of talent. If MJ and Pippen weren't on the team he'd never have coached the Bulls. Look at the Lakers, not legendary with him there, are they? Not only that, the Lakers had more talent per position than the Bulls ever had with him as coach. Not legendary with Phil at the helm. Don't give him so much credit just because he's a Virgo dude. When MJ retired the first time, Phil Jackson didn't win jack squat. When MJ retired the second time, along with Pippen, Phil Jackson ran like a lil bitch and he got barbequed in the media here for it. Michael Jordan made the Bulls "Legendary" because they had a "Legend" on the team, and his name was not Phil Jackson. WTF? Phil Jackson is the most overrated NBA coach of all time, if you truly want to go there. He can't bring out talent, he can only coach players who don't need to be coached. That's the truth.

Tom Thibodeau is FAR better than Phil Jackson. He took THIS Bulls team to the conference championship his first year.

Phil Jackson had a mentor by the name of Doug Collins (Leo) who people in the know, knows that he was the one who coached those teams and taught Phil Jackson everything he knows when Phil was just a bench coach.

By the way, how did those Lakers end up this year? 😉

Coaches aren't leaders, they aren't on the floor. Players play, coaches coach. MJ led all of those teams dude. Ever heard of a book called "The Jordan Rules"?

You're wrong. Even MJ acknowledges the genius of Jackson, and yes he LED the Bulls into those magnificent consecutive championship wins. As The Bull's coach, the methods he brought into the art of coaching were unprecedented for NBA's standards at the time, also tactically-wise he was responsible for introducing revolutionary playing systems.

The whole of the NBA acknowledges what Im saying, MJ does too, so why should listen to some random dude called Geminimind?

And if Jerry Krause is responsible for anything, that is for the demise and falling apart of the Bulls Team of the 90's (probably partially for the retirement of MJ too). Pretty much everybody in the team hated the guy throughout the years, the situation became unbearable.

Jordan is a diplomat, and you've yet to prove me wrong on jack. So, please, pretty please, with a cherry on top. Don't listen to this random dude called GeminiMind. I like you just the way you are. 😉 You're still wrong as all hell though, and I'm right about my knowledge since I watched the Bulls up close and personal up until now. Carry on, Virgo. I guess we all need a hero. HaHa! For the record the Triangle offense is the offense the Bulls used and the Lakers use now. Phil Jackson had NOTHING to do with it. Sam Barry and Bulls assistant coach Tex Winter were the creators. All Phil did was sit back, give the players a book on Zen, and collected the rewards. Everyone HERE in Chicago knows that. Just because you don't, don't hate. If you're going to backup someone, have your facts straight. Done, and done.

Phil says the same thing about his teams to, for the record. Read "The Jordan Rules". Maybe you'll gain some better knowledge about coach Phil, seriously. He ain't all that Shaka. :/

Actually Jordan has been known to be exactly the opposite of a diplomat and to lack tact in his speeches (which is a great thing IMO) so your argument holds no ground.

people still watch the NBA? that stuff is rigged

Its not the best NBA, but its all we have.

Shit's about to get real in the NBA though.

Good luck with that!

The game is about to be on in about 30 minutes. I'm nervous for Miami for some reason.;

Fans from both sides are nervous. :\

Both Lebron and Wade are playing passively tonight, and I know what that's about. Although they lost to Chicago during the regular season, they still don't respect the Bulls how they respect Boston, the Lakers etc. They are underestimating them and feel they don't have anything to prove against them. That will be their downfall if they are not careful. If this was a game against the Lakers right now they would be hustling their butts off just how they hustled against Boston. They are doing the total opposite.

I'm noticing that it may just be a Cap thing to give 100% when we have something to prove or are pissed.

BULLS!

At this point I'm about to start rooting for the Bulls too LoL.

"too fast, too big, too strong, too GOOD!" - Stacy King

I'm a big bulls fan and I just saw a few comments about MJ and I am going to quote Stacy King again when he compared MJ and DRose...."The difference between MJ and DRose is that MJ will tell you how good he is, but DRose will SHOW you how good he is..." I love how humble he DROSE is 🙂

Shaka, you know that makes no sense at all! HaHaHa! The Bulls have always been legendary! Even though the current coach is a Cappy.

oh wow he's a CAPPY? No wonder he's so serious all the time!

I agree. This is my first time really watching DRose play, but from the little I've seen he's a very humble kid. It's like you can tell he loves playing the game, and he hasn't let the hype get to him yet, which is good to see.

Wow@ the Bulls coach being a Cappy. That makes me feel a little less bad if the Heat lose this series to them.

Btw, I was very disappointed in Lebron and Wade tonight. They both played horribly, and it's almost like they literally fuel eachother. If one plays good then the other is right behind him, but if one has a bad game, then so does the other, and the whole team lose. They've got to do better.

Tonight they got humbled quick though for that big unnecessary celebration after winning against the Celtics. They figured since they knocked one of the best teams out that everything else would be smooth sailing. News flash! Yall got a ways to go! They better get it together.

Is their coach really a Cappy? He has a sexy speaking voice. I saw him worked up tonight about a foul on one of his players.

somebody forgot to tell the Heat who had the best record in the league and the league's best player..
lebron had that deer-in-the-headlights look again. wade's gotta stop trying to guard rose and letting taj gibson dunk on him. bosh is softer than a pisces

There it is!

Yeah, the heat bench is horrible. Charles was telling the truth when he said their technique it to get the ball and hurry up and pass it to lebron or wade.

Another thing is that the success story might as well continue for Rose. To say he got the mvp and won the championship only seems right for him. I'm thinking lebron just missed his opportunity.

Offense win games but defense win championships.

BULLShit! 😛 😛

Offense and defense win you legendary status 🙂

Shaka, you're obsessed with the word "Legendary". HaHa!

Let's not get cocky already chicago .........


I am sure the Capricorn Duo won't take kindly to getting their egos smashed into oblivion and will mount some sort of comeback .

Either they are going to go ALL the way in, or they are going to check all the way out, basically how they did Sunday. Cap has an all-or-nothing type ego. If they don't get in their minds that The Bulls are a team to beat then this will play out real ugly. It may click to them that DRose and that team is their biggest competition right now, but hopefully not right before it's too late.

Also, yall see what I mean about team work? Chicago's bench did a GREAT job. It wasn't just DRose alone, it was him and the team. You will probably never see full cooperation like that with Miami.

As far as Miami has gotten this year, they still haven't built a solid team around Lebron and Dwayne because again, the two of them are too dominant imho.

A solid team is built around Rose.

Now we have a series!

the biggest pussies in the NBA is caps thou (lebron, crybaby wade, and "big baby" glen davis), while you got pisces like rondo who played with a dislocated arm..

Lol at the mention of glen davis.

Chad ochocinco(football) is a Cap too and he's extremely whiny. I'm just wondering if this has to do more with them being on teams than just being caps. Its like if they have others to depend on then they will take the easy route out, but if its just themselves then they will go all out, if that makes sense. Chad is another extremely talented and athletic Capricorn with no ring.

That Rondo is adorable. I was so proud of him for getting back in the game after that foul move from Wade. I remember that pisces quarterback playing with a broken nose. They can definitely be tough and handle physical pain well it seem.

Wow! The Heat pulled it off. Congrats!

btw, Dwayne looked like he's been crying. I hope everything is alright with him.

oh gosh here comes the bandwagoner

LOL@the chicackers bulls though

$ tern will make sure jabron gets a "ring"

Now I gotta root for Dwade and Juwon Howard, the Chicago connection. Congrats Heat fans.

who else would i be?

loyal since 2010 huh lol
