Mare Bear's back. She doesn't much like anybody who plays her Chicago Bulls. You know this. The Bulls now this. And now, the Lebrons know this. Here, Mare breaks down the 21-point Game 1 victory with Wooden-esque nuance and insight. Example:
"I was there ... booing LeBron ... when he got his two ... FOULS put on him. Well my God, it was like we booed LeBron right off the court. And I was in heaven."
Then, she compares Chris Bosh to an ostrich "with the neck he has. ... And the big mouth."
