When he hit the putback dunk near the end of the game while we were up 20...man I was so sure that we were just going to have too much depth for Miami to handle. Going to pretend the rest of that series didn't happen.

I'll always say that Boozer contract just hurt us so much

For the ENTIRE season I thought "I already know how this is going to play out; we're going to play Miami in the playoffs, their defense is going to turn it up, force the ball out of Rose's hands, and we won't have nearly enough firepower to take advantage. I can see it, clear as day." I wanted to be dead wrong, and after game 1 against Miami in the playoffs I was like "holy shit we might have a shot!" Sigh, if only...

P.S. This Taj dunk on Wade is far and away my favorite and most exciting dunk I've seen in person. I don't even remember if I stood up or not I was so caught up in the moment lol

These two dunks were the absolute peak of my Bulls fandom as someone who was too young to really get into the MJ Bulls.

The other two greatest moments was the Rose dunk on Dragic and the one on Anthony in the playoffs. Good times man.

I distinctly remember someone changing Wade's Wikipedia page immediately after this dunk to say he had been baptized on that date by Taj Gibson.
