Tonights games
Game 2- Chicago @ Boston - 7pm on TNT

Game 2- Dallas @ San Antonio - 9:30pm on TNT

I can't wait to see Rose's follow up game to his great debut. Especially after Perkins had this to say about him afterwards.

“Everybody has their night,” Boston center Kendrick Perkins said Sunday. “I know it won’t happen again. He’ll never have another game like that against us.”

If the Bulls can get a little bit more out of Rose this fourth quarter, they could take this game too. Gordon has been making his usual crazy jumpers. Miller and Noah are having very efficient games. Salmons is scoring though not at a very good percent. Win or lose, very impressive showing on the road by the Bulls to start the playoffs.

I'm just shocked (although, I really didn't want to play the Bulls in the first round). They've got Boston looking old and out of shape. Which is strange since I still think that Chicago is a pretty easy team to defend.

Chicago is down by 2 with 20 sec to go in the game....

Wow what a game. Huge shots by Ray Allen and Ben Gordon. Tremendously fun to watch, even though I was hoping Boston lost. Two great games, I almost can't wait until they play again. All tied up.

Damm it!!! ray allen hits a 3 at the last few sec to help boston get the win.... :nonono:

Ever since Garnett won his ring, he has been one of the more cocky players in the league. It is kind of pathetic. I guess karma is a bitch.

No the sad part is that he has always been like that we just never saw it because he was in Minnesota. When the Wolves were winning and he was doing good and being compared to Timmy he was just like that. But when they were losing and no one ever saw them because they were in Minnesota he was as quiet as Greg Oden his rookie year. I used to love KG so much but I have lost some respect for him.

The real sad part is that it is rubbing on the young guys like Kendrik Perkins, who was quiet as a mouse sitting behind Al Jefferson, and Big Baby who was nothing like this in college.

The same thing can be said about Ray Allen. He is supposed to be the class of the league and has been considered the most respectable playr in the league but as we saw with the Varajao groin incident maybe we just didnt get to see enough of him in Seattle and Milwaukee. Another player who I loved and have lost respect for.

What happen to sportsmanship?

I respect those that i fight side by side with as well as those I fight against.

Lebron go for the jugula, dont hold anything back because there is no respect.

Yea I almost dont want the Celtics to lose to the Bulls because I want the Cavs to be the ones to teach them a lesson. Oh well, I guess them losing in the first round should be humbling enough.

And that is why I want us to pursue Ben Gordon this off season.

Orlando pulls even with Philly tonight. I hate games being on NBA TV btw. Miami looking much, much better than the last time out. D-Wade is killing it with 21 in the first half on 7-13 shooting.

It amazes me how Chicago and Philly could have been up 2 games as underdogs in the first round. This is why I love the playoffs.

I can only pray that utah can make a series out of play the lakers...

I still think that the bull are the stronger and better playing team...

Right now it's looking like the Cavs are going to get the Hawks instead of D-Wade and the Heat. Crazy how each game has been a blowout for the home team. Hawks up 13 at half right now. Conference SemiFinals also starting in the West today. Can't wait to see if Chauncey and the Nuggets can keep rolling as impressively as they did in the first round.

Denver vs Dallas
LA Lakers vs Houston
Orlando vs Boston
Cleveland vs Atlanta/Miami
