I'm gonna make a bold prediction and say warriors get the w again tonight

This game will be epic. I hope the Warriors win but that's a thin prediction. Jermaine Oneal is the xfactor

Memphis game is going off right now. Perkins with the clutch shot 

[Ernie McCracken]

I will agree with you on one thing no team no team in the East stands a chance vs the Western Conference elite INCLUDING Miami. BUT you can't just throw My Raps ,Washington, Chicago ect under the bus like that. Indy isn't the only top team that's been struggling Miami barley played 500 basketball down the stretch and I don't care if Lebron's minutes were reduced bla bla bla San Antonio rested the big guns down the stretch and finished 17-2.

I can't say with confidence Miami is going to streamroll any team in the second round like last year.

I'll watch those teams and appreciate them in the regular season, but in the playoffs I don't see the point in watching them.

Seeing Miami this vulnerable makes things even more frustrating. But since Indy is struggling even more and the rest of the field isnt good, they will still most likely make there way to the finals. And it probably won't be a smooth ride for them, but they will get there and then will probably turn it on for the finals. Miami really only has to show up and bring their A game for one series and thats the finals. It would be much more entertaining if they had to go through a grueling playoff run in the west and play real competition.

Miami is in the best position to make the finals. So many secret weapons even Bosh shoots 3s now. Shooting..defense. superstars,, bosh it's a 1 way train to the finals.

nah, i consulted with my balls.
dubs just let em win, they were tired of blake squirting tears so they let him get his good day badge.

[abraham linksys]

my god clippers/warriors was a fucking garbage game. game 3 better be good.
this is the number one series to watch but that was the absolute worst game in the playoffs by far even tho there has only been only like 10 games.
I don't know if it can be topped unless the heat beat the bobcats by like 65 points and I fall asleep.
shits embarrassing down by 40 it better get nasty, dubs should went detroit bad boys on em
but at least I got this chicken wing out of it I guess.

[tangar]

Big Baby Vagina. I know the warriors played bad the first half (but that didnt stop them game 1) but if you look at the scores in the 3rd and 4th quarter it doesnt look that bad, only got outscored 6 in the 3rd and 8 in the 4th. i just hope the warriors play as physical and poised in games 3 and 4 as they did in game 1. GO WARRIORS! FUCK FLOP SHITTY!

[abraham linksys]

I think the washinton wizards will win again tonight. john wall and bradley beal went 7 for 25 combined in game 1
and I doubt that'll happen again. also blows my mind guys like nene and gortat are huge factors lately.
toronto raptors will hold it down tonight and get the W if demar derozen decides to show up and play tonight.
indiana pacers will win tonight. game 1 was ridiculous and a wake up call.  someone needs to step up whether it be paul george or lance stephenson since they'll be paying for it on the defensive end all game with dumpy slow roy hibbert in there watching jeff teague blow by.
I have no interest in seeing ATL going any further but watch it somehow go 7 games.
If they somehow lose tonight at home again frank vogel better dust off that resume.
lets see summa dis tonight PG!

[Big Skatefase]

good game in chicago.

you can see that john wall and bradley beal are starting to mature. pretty funny to see nene give the dpoy joakim noah that work.

That's when you know your series is over. Your fringe player should never be jermaine oneal

It's been the same story all season with these bulls. Can't find ways to score in the final two minutes of game. Time for thibs to open mouth insert foot. Should have eyed the draft instead of the playoffs. A strong defensive team isn't an elite one. If they don't get melo in the offseason then these guys will play out their contracts in vein.

Nene is to straight up dominating the Chicago bigs

fuck melo going to the bulls and fuck tanking. the bulls don't play that shit. last night was an incredibly unfortunate game in which the bulls couldn't find a way to finish. theyre still making it past the warriors, stats be damned

[bentmode]

It's not unfortunate if it's a constant. Chicago seems to find a way to stop scoring in the final minutes. Maybe because your first option is DJ Augustine. Even if d rose was healthy they still need another scorer to push them over the top. Insert melo. I'm not talking about tanking either. I'm saying looking at the macro it seems like thibs is just worried about his legacy in the nba. Odd for a coach to think like a player in terms of stat padding. Although I'd consider him a top 5 coach at this point his selfishness and stubourness it's what's costing that franchise real success.

Also of you're a real bulls fan, chillout, why would you be opposed to an addition that would only improve your chances of winning a title. Is title winning shit that the bulls organization doesn't play? Last I checked they had 6 of them fuckers.

What do the warriors have to do with all this?

[EPetrov]

Bulls:The defense was lacking.If they played like this throughOUT the season they would not have made it this far. Also, how does Noah make freethrows but Heinrich doesnt. Some bad calls forsure

It was a good time at the united center though. Kind of trippy how quiet it is while theyre playing. cant here dribbling,or their shoes screeching across the floor or any of the usual "basketball" sounds you do on TV.

heat will win obviously but I hope the bobcats put up some kind of fight like game 1.
when the heat were down that was the quietest I have ever seen their arena and I still think charlotte can win at least one game.
dallas mavericks steal one on the road tonight and monta ellis will have a big game.
portland/houston game 1 was full of bullshit calls but I think portland will win another close game. fear no beard

my bad, I meant wizards and typed warriors, dumb mistake haha. melo is a selfish player and it would take a miracle for thibs to turn him into something that would work for the bulls. and I refuse to think that thibs thinks farther than the next game, but maybe im kidding myself

over 40 points so far in both games. he's goin HAM

Only the 3rd player to post back to back 40+ on the road in the play offs.

post games reaction
I think the miami heats luck is going to run out eventually.
obviously not this series but lost by only 4 points and I saw at least 5 fouls plus and 1s not called on miami.
the mavs got the grapes to beat the spurs in this series and devin harris is back from the dead off the bench.
I hope portland sweep the rockets. L-TRAIN CAN NOT BE STOPPED putting up numbers like he's playing 2k14.
and damian lillard even with bad shooting night still finds a way to kill it. they fear no beard yo!

[Ernie McCracken]

oh how great it would be to see Dwight and the Rockets get swept in the first round.
