Keys to Game 3 for Chicago Bulls

ENERGY!
It was the tale of two games for the Bulls in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Everything they had going in Game 1 was nullified. No energy. No sense of urgency. Those 50/50 loose balls were all going Miami's way, as they seemed to "want" it more.

Keys to Game 3 ... Luol Deng and Joakim Noah.

Period. I've been saying this all season. Deng is your offensive spark. His aggressiveness in going to the basket sets the pace for the Bulls offense. His slashing style creates open shots for his teammates, promotes ball movement and spacing and makes Derrick Rose even more dangerous!

Noah's feistiness and Rodman-like energy on the boards provides that spark to get the Bulls going defensively! Get the damn rebound and move the ball up court!

Rose is the MVP, but he can't do it alone. As go Noah and Deng, so go the Bulls. Game 3 should be a doozy - which team will show up? Game 1 Bulls or Game 2 Bulls?
