The man cannot be stopped.

I hope the Bulls can pull the upset.

Shouldn't be lost that Rondo is playing pretty damn well too.

But Rose is at another level right now.

Yeah, Rondo is also really stepping it up. With the big 3 on that team he gets overlooked sometimes, but he is a very good player as well.

Terrible call.

I think the Bucks various failures are starting to ruin my enjoyment of NBA basketball. Watching Rose as a rookie be the best player on the court versus the defending champs, all I can keep thinking is: why can't the Bucks ever get anyone this good?

Wow... Him getting hurt would be awful.

Another terrible call.

The Celtics are getting every possible call to go their way. Pierce is getting away with whatever he wants when he sets a screen. Just another day of Bennett Salvatore doing his thing.

When I watch games where the officiating is this bad I realize why some people really, really hate the NBA.

I could see CP3 in the top 3.

Have you ever watched Derrick Rose play?

I thought we were talking about Malik Rose.

That wasn't a foul? Holy crap.

Ben Gordon, the British, right-handed, shorter, cheaper, Michael Redd.

The Celtics have to get to at least the second round. Stern's rules.

Eddie House traveled on that 3.

SupremeHustle · Post #35 » by **SupremeHustle** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 6:43 pm

Jesus, Malik.

Wow, geat D by Rose, unbelievable shot by Rondo.

SupremeHustle · Post #37 » by **SupremeHustle** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 6:52 pm

Miller needs to cut to the hoop on that TO. Standing flat-footed doesn't help.

Newz · Post #38 » by **Newz** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 6:54 pm

Chicago isn't going to be able to win this series. They get called for ticky tack crap and the Celtics get to hack the crap out of them without being called for anything.

What a crock.

Reminds me of that Bucks/Pacers serious from '99 or 2000? The one that went to 5.

Is Ben Gordon going to just jack up a bunch of garbage and hope to get hot now?
