IT was removed for defensive purposes with 1:30 left in the game and the Bulls up 9. I enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind at all seeing the Celtics get swept.

I voted for the Rockets. If D'antoni struggles in the playoffs I'm going to laugh on the outside, but inside I will cry.

Patrick Beverly is a nice player. SIgn me up if he's ever available.

Very subtle smack left in the Celtics' forum

I forgot Lou Williams is on the Rockets. They've got a nice little team. GSW, Spurs, Rockets. Those are pretty much the only legitimate threats to come out of the West. I just don't think Russ can carry the Thunder out of the west, let alone a championship. I don't believe anyone else is a legitimate threat. I do think whoever comes out of the west is going to destroy the east's representative. *Cough* Cavs *Cough*. There's only so much magic Lebron can muster in his career. I think last year drained the magic Lebron juice tank.

The Indiana guards suck. Big time.

Teague is playing like trash. Ellis isn't playing much better. Even future superstar Myles Turner is quiet.

If Indiana had Bledsoe and Chandler right now instead of Teague and Myles, they'd be in this series.

Surprised to see C's getting so little love. That said, I went with Toronto

I don't know if anyone caught the Spurs vs Grizzlies game last night, in fact I asked myself a few times out of disgust why I'm watching the Spurs and instinctively clicked out of my browser a few times, but that was an AWFUL show of officiating. Almost reminded me of the good old days where the Spurs would have the ball, catch a bad draft from someone opening the stadium door, and automatically go to the line for a foul.

Coach Fizdale went off on the refs during the Post-Game Interviews, and he's about to catch a 50K fine for it, but he earned some respect from me backing up his team like that. Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were"-esque lol

Celtics look really bad, and bringing the series back going into Chicago down 0-2 is not an easy task, especially with the emotional burden they carry. I'm happy IT has been so successful since going to Boston, but series like this reaffirm to me that a team with IT as the best player is not a real contender. Bulls just parked Rondo in the high post against IT and Rondo picked the Celtics apart all game passing right over the top of him.

We're worried about the playoffs, and they're worried about the lottery.

Only 2 more games and you can stop 'worrying about the playoffs' Isaiah :lol:

Saw this live. What a polarizing player.

I hope gobert can come back and be effective. I think the jazz win convincingly if Rudy were in there.

Giannis really needs to learn to shoot. Most call him a superstar but imo superstar is someone who can score when the team need it the most.

Last night's game was probably the best game of the playoffs so far.

I'm officially sick of Harden and Westbrook. Want to see D'Antoni get a shot at the Spurs though.

Millsap is a crybaby

Even so, I'd love him on the Suns. Bummer he's under contract through 2020.

Anyone else still thinking anyone other than the Warriors is emerging from the West? They're almost on pace to score 50 in the first quarter.

EDIT: Ended the first quarter with 45, 72 in the first half.

Warriors/Cavs again. Nothing to see here until then.

They are way better than the rest of the league. Only a big injury can stop them from the Finals.
