Damn Cleveland is looking really good. Bulls is just totally outmatched. Outside of Derrick Rose, they're just outmatched in any part of the game. Position, low post, perimeter, scoring, shooting, passing, size, length, defense, rebounding, shotblocking, physicality, athleticism, coaching. Man.. you name it.
The Bulls' second best player is probably Noah and for the Cavs, he's basically Varejao. That's how outmatched they are.
I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago got swept. Cleveland in 5 at most. No way this series going to 6.

I have to say, Shaq will still be able to score in this league when he's 45. The league has gotten small in the past few years especially at the Center position. Shaq may not be athletic anymore, but he's still bigger and stronger than anyone. He'll always be able to score in the low post even if he doesn't run at all for the whole game.
Watching Noah and Brad Miller trying to guard Shaq is sad. They can't even move Shaq out of his spot.

The Cav's absolutely dominated that game, I thought it was gonna be a closer game than that.
The Bulls offense is just terrible. Outside of Rose they have on one that can create for themselves, they have no outside shooting and they have no one that can score in the post. The Cav's defense absolutely ate the Bulls alive.
I do really like Noah and Taj Gibson though. They're both guys who can play good defense, grab a lot of rebounds and they both play with a ton of energy and passion. If Noah could add a few low post moves into his game he could be a really good center in the league, but he needs to ditch that awful midrange jumper.

Varejao IMO was the player of the game. He was absolutely all over the place. All hustle and energy that boy. I watch that game and find myself saying "Damn" because of Varejao over and over again.
Derrick Rose has no help whatsoever in Chicago. His numbers are nice, 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 10 assists. He needed 28 shots to do it, he only got to the line twice, and he had 7 turnovers. Chicago really needs to have more shooters out there. And that pick and roll with Noah is almost pointless. They sag off Noah forcing Rose to give it up to Noah for a midrange jumper that he won't make or shoot.
You watching Bucks vs Hawks?
That game is even worse. Atleast with the Cavs-Bulls series, they have one advantage in Derrick Rose. Bucks got nothing on Hawks. Not even one thing.

Damn.. I take that back. Brandon Jennings doesn't have the playoff jitters at all. The kid is attacking and shooting with great confidence. He really looks like Nick Van Exel out there. I'm not exactly a fan of his shot selection thou. But if he's making it, who can complain right? Plus, he's the only one in Milwaukee who can create his own offense (jack up shots). Hawks has a 22 point lead in the 1st half thou. Bucks got nothing outside of Brandon Jennings.
Jennings have 20 points. The next highest scorer for Milwaukee? 4 points.

God damn... Brandon Jennings with already 28 points with 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. He got 4 of his shots blocked already (mostly by Josh Smith I believe) and he still keeps on coming back. I'm quite amazed at this kid.

Basically if it's not blocked, it's going in. That's what is happening in this game. Too bad I think his monster game will go to waste. No way Atlanta is gonna lose this game. Jennings is not gonna beat Hawks by himself even if he goes for 55 again.

Man I wish Bogut didn't get hurt. This could've been a series.

Garnett suspended for G2. Q with the $25K fine. I think KG got robbed on this. Q was in the wrong for stepping over PP. There was no need to do that. KG's actions were not admirable, but Q shoul'dn't of been there in the first place.
Lakers with a good win in G1. They really limited Durant. Kobe wasn't great but they still pulled it out. This series could be over quick.

Q didn't step over PP.
Artest completely shutdown Durant. Total Lockdown.

I think you either watch the wrong video or something. Look at it again. Q didn't step over PP. Q came over to the sideline (no stepping over PP) and started having words with KG and KG shoved him off with his hands then things escalated.
Read the articles if you must and I don't think you'll find anything about Q stepping over PP.

I watched the right video. I think someone just might be splitting hairs a bit. Whatever.

A quote from KG:
"I saw Paul grab his shoulder, as a stinger or whatever, so I just tried to immediately call [Celtics trainer] Ed [Lacerte] over," Garnett explained after the game. "I tried to give him some room and I just saw [Quentin Richardson] standing
over him talking nonsense.
Quote from Doc Rivers:
“He had no business over there. We had a guy laying on the floor injured. There was no reason for him to be there. Then, going by all reports, it was more than just the crowding. It was the taunting. When you’ve got a guy injured on the floor, I don’t think you should be standing
over him, telling him to get up. I can’t even use the words he used.”
I guess you claim to know more than the people involved in the game, right?

You do know STANDING over and STEPPING over is different right?
If you're saying he's STANDING over pierce, then yeah.. that's totally true.
But STEPPING? What game are you watching?
Ask anyone and they'll tell you the difference between standing over and stepping over. Then watch the replay again and see if it's standing over or stepping over.
English isn't my first language, but I'm pretty sure I know what Standing and Stepping means. Anyone here cares to explain to me the difference? I could be wrong.

Oh wait, so you're debating "standing" and "stepping"?
Sorry. Again, in the future I'll get you to check over my posts before I send them.
Again, my sincere apologies.
