Instead of locking at 100, I'll stop it now so that all playoff post can be in one thread.

Go...

The Nets have been our sons for an extremely long time. Gimme BK

I'd say BK because of how we played against them earlier, but D-Will is a completely different player right now. I just dont see Wallce being able to slow down LeBron at all. Lopez will get his, but Bosh will stretch him out and let Wade/LeBron go to work. Plus the Bulls always give us problems and I cant seeing little Nate hit shots against us.

Brooklyn. Just like Boston, Chicago turns into a different team when they play us, very annoying.

Thoughts on Gasol's DPOY? I thought Duncan should have won it.

I think both would of been good choices. I think Gasol is a little better on switches with PnR though. My guess is Memphis is better overall defensively than SA, and that probably was the deal breaker. Similar to say MVP the year Rose won and having a better record than Lebron. Wouldn't have issues with either one winning though.

6th man award is less interesting though. I think J.R. was the right choice probably, even though I hate him as a player. Some hilarity in the GB though. Knicks fans get so salty when someone doesn't want their player's pipe as badly as they do. Think some of those guys would like to give Melo MVP, JR 6th man, Martin/Chandler co-DOPY, and Shumpert MIP.

Nets team looks good. In a way, I would rather face Bulls. We already know Bulls, we know what they can do and can't. BKN is a wildcard & they have players that can win a series; Joe Johnson, D-Williams-Lopes...

Brooklyn presents some matchup problems such as Evans, Humphries and Lopez in the interior similar to the Bulls do with Boozer, Gibson, and Noah in the interior.

However, Brooklyn isn't much of a defensive team. They are all offense, while Chicago is the opposite.

It is pretty much a wash. I don't think the Heat are losing either way, but the Nets are the less physical team, so there are less chances of the Heat being worn out or injured against the Nets than against the Bulls.

Bulls actually play defense and the Nets can't do anything... lol

they did something really stupid though, they had a 3 vs 5 AND TOOK A 3 instead of going to the basket

let the bulls and nets beat each other up, hope that series goes 7 and the nets win.

Deron went 1-9.... lol

I think that is why the Nets won't win the series.

They are incredibly soft. Aside from Evans and Wallace, the team is filled with a bunch of softies. That is also another problem, their toughest players and are also not very good all-around players, although Wallace just sucks at everything now a days.

What an awful trade too, trading their 2012 #1 pick for Wallace.

Nets shot selection was so bad... so much 3's. I know they couldn't do anything in the paint, but atleast draw fouls. Let Chicago hack you, Noah had 5 fouls, he could have easily gotten his 6th. But no one gave him a reason to even foul anyone in the paint.

Well this series got interesting, I am not sure if Nets could even win in Chicago. Chicago despite the record plays well at home

lol@Rose, everytime I saw him on the bench cheering all I could of was "sit yo ass down".

they basically traded lillard for wallace lol

i think it will be close, nets missed soooooo many shots tonight. bulls struggle scoring. i still think nets will win the series in 7.

Nets are genuinely the better team. Supposed to win this series and probably will. Have to keep playing fast like they did in the first game.

Chicago's defense was top notch tonight. Good bounce back win after being blown out in Game 1. Series tied 1-1.

TheChosen618 · Post #19 » by **TheChosen618** » Tue Apr 23, 2013 3:04 am

Bulls have already adjusted by putting Butler on Deron. Butler is the best perimeter defender on the Bulls in my opinion and if I were the Bulls, I would actually look to trade Deng in the off-season.

A lot of people complain that PJ is a garbage coach, so I doubt he'll do much.

The nets can score, the bulls can't. That should be the end
