As is Miami. Not the greatest team I've ever seen.

they gave miami no trouble in the playoffs with rose completely healthy. i really don't think it is realistic.

I don't know.

The series ended with Miami winning easily but I think it could have been a much tougher series if one of the first Miami wins had tipped in Chicago's favor instead.

Miami has a tendency to steamroll teams if you give them a running start (literally and figuratively). But there are moments early on where you need to get traction against them, push them (literally and figuratively) and then get them into a longer and tougher series.

Kind of like how OKC won that first game but couldn't get another one of the next two to go up 2-1. Had they done so, series winner might've been different and length/toughness of the series would've definitely been different.

The Bucks and Bulls need to handle our light work in the playoffs.

Deron, The Blueprint and Prophylactic drove Jay into ownership retirement.

Back to the Orange & Blue, Mr. Carter. Wish Dolan would cut him in.

That would be fun. Too bad the Bull suck and there's no way Rose is coming back (even if he does, he'll be ineffective). Good to dream though.

Are the Pacers tanking for the 3rd seed? Wizards and now Cavs.

ijag23 · Post #851 » by **ijag23** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 1:41 am

Cavs are so bad they won't let Indy tank. What a collapse.

Quick Kick · Post #852 » by **Quick Kick** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 1:51 am

The Pacers shot 44 MUTHAF**KIN FREE THROWS!!

That game was fixed and cant NOBODY tell me otherwise. Cleveland sucks, I know this. Blowing a lead to a smoking hot Miami team is one thing; blowing a 20 point 4th quarter lead against an offense-challenged team like Indy is INEXPLICABLE. Vegas wanted that game and they got it.

Lin gets the win but not a strong game for him. Dragic wins the battle.

Rubio 0-8? seriously?

bfpri · Post #857 » by **bfpri** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 4:28 am

Rubio may be the worst offensive starter in the league.

Quick Kick · Post #858 » by **Quick Kick** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 4:31 am

Hes still young as hell (like, real young....not 25 young). He'll be a top 5 PG within 3 years.

Quietly the Rockets have inserted Greg Smith into the starting line up and it's paying off. Adding mid range jump shooting PF who has the fundamentals to compete. Rockets beat the Suns...

Nah, Neither him nor Lin will ever go anywhere near the top five.
