I'm pissed the Bulls play game 1 against the Heat today and i'm going to miss the ENTIRE game cuz of work anyways, make your picks for the first round...
man the warriors match up PERFECTLY against the mavs! a 1-8 upset would be crazy but i'll still take the mavs, what did they lose like 13 games this season? that is NOT easy to do.
my list...by the way, i dont follow basketball too closely Pistons Cavs Nets Bulls Warriors (Warriors went 3-0 against them in the season) Suns Spurs Rockets
btw if the lakers somehow find a way to beat the suns (practically impossible) and the warriors beat the mavs (it can happen), then lakers have a shot at winning the championship.
lakers did well against the spurs, rockets, jazz, and denver.
awwww yeah Bulls up 2-0 against the Heat not getting over confident since the heat ran off 4 straight against the mavs in last years finals after being down 2-0, but still, things couldn't be going better for us.
We match up nicely cuz we're overloaded with talent at the guard position so we got multiple young, athletic, defenders who can take turns limiting D-wade. Now we just gotta take a win in MIA and we should be moving on
wow chad i officially hate you, lol even with caron and gilbert we'd still make a clean sweep lol, we got it easy man, we sweep the wizards theb got nets or raptors=easy win, then looks like we got bulls or the PISSED ONS, i think my boy bron gon take em to tha ship
no offense man but i think the Heat, Pistons AND Bulls would all CRUSH the cavs depending on who they play...I'm a Lebron fan don't get me wrong, dude is sick but their second best player is who? Larry Hughes?? Gimme a break, he wouldn't even be a starter on half the other teams in the NBA. Good player but they have no 2 for a 1-2 punch.
im pretty sure whoever plays the pissed ons will take them to a 6 or 7 game series and make the winner tired as hell when we take NJ or TOR in 4 or 5 games. The winner will be bulls or pissed ons and will be tired and we will take them in 6 games if CHI as we will have home court advantage n 7 games if DET. N by the way the only person we have besides the greatest f****** player in the league is larry. First off are you kidding??? or are you just that stupid cmon pitbull . Drew has been solid in the playoffs and can expect him n Z to be a big presence in the low post for us. Larry has been put in the pg position throughout the series and thru the regualr season and has we have like a 10-1 run with him at point guard. N by the way Larry is averaging 15 pts. 4 assists. and coming off a major injury from last season I think hes doing alright. Started like 68 games and played in 70 with no major injuries this season he is lebrons sidekick and will be a vital point to our winning the Championship.and usually a "good" player dont score 27 points in a playoff game with the best player comig back after an ankle sprain.
do you honestly think the cavs can win the title this year? No chance whatsoever. LeBron WILL be the "greatest f****** player in the league", but he sure as hell isn't now. He's top 10, maybe top 5. Maybe if he stopped doing so many sprite commercials and spent some time learning to hit his free throws in the clutch the cavs would be doing better. And Larry Hughs aka "juelz santana" (anyone ever noticed they're like twins?) is a joke, if he was on a better team his stats would go way down and he might not even start. Put him on the bulls today and he's not even the sixth man he's the seventh....Ben Gordon is our 6th and any gm or coach in the league would take Ben Gordon over Larry Hughs.
But if you seriously think the cavs can win it all this year, it's a waste to debate anything with you because you need to be admitted to a psychiatric ward you phuckin loon i'll just say i told you so when your cavs crumble against the winner of the Raptors/Nets series just like they crumbled against the pistons last year.
I'm a lot more realistic about my team, if you'd of asked me a week ago about my bulls i woulda said conference finals if we're real lucky, but hey we're up 3-0 on the defending champs, and if we can beat or even SWEEP the defending champs, we're capable of beating anyone. I don't care how fresh or rested your cavs are, cuz they aren't even on the same level right now as the bulls/heat/pistons.
"when your cavs crumble against the winner of the Raptors/Nets series just like they crumbled against the pistons last year."
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha wow u serious man u juss made 2 stupid comments in 1 sentence, first off crumble like we did against the pissed ons? did u watch the playoffs last year we went 7 games against them and lost because of a tip in, (hardly considered crumbling to the nba champions) and we crumble against the raptors/nets? haha is it just my imagination or did the bulls have the chance to be the number 2 seed and lose to the nets in the most clutch game of their season? i think so.......
yes crumble, you had a series lead and blew it. You were up 3-2 having won 3 straight, all the momentum in the world and y'all couldn't win 1 outta the last 2.
And the Bulls don't deserve to be a 5 seed that's obvious....look at their record, the NBA playoff format is retarded and everyone knows it. Winning a division should only guarantee you a playoff spot not a top seed. Calling our final regular season game "the most clutch game of the season" is the dumbest sh!t you could ever say. You wanna talk clutch, how about the 3 consecutive games we just won against MIA? IN THE PLAYOFFS...WHERE IT COUNTS.
If you wanna fantasize about your over-rated team winning the championship on the back of ONE spectacular, but immature and not completely developed player, be my guest.
all i have to say is that the way the things are going, its anybody's championship. lol. can't believe the mavs are struggling with a 8th seed. i know i know its all about the match up but still.
lol aight chad there you go, but i dunno bought that lakers comment, im not a fan of basketball playing white woman raping head cases... haha but truthfully i dont think the lakers have as much of a bench as the cavs, im juss not a lakers fan lol, i am however a bulls fan too PB juss so ya know lol ever since the jordan/rodman days hahah, plus imma big uconn fan Ben Gordon but my loyalties are to the the wine and gold
"im not a fan of basketball playing white woman raping head cases"
lol! I AM!!! Kobe is like the one non home team player that i'm truly a fan of. People can hate on him all they want...say he's a ball hog even though the shots go in...say he's an egomaniac even though that's what it takes to be that dominant (ask phil jackson or scottie pippen what Jordan was like, kobe's ego x 5). If the Lakers could pick up a great point guard so ppl could quit b!tching about Kobe not distributing the ball enuff i think they'd be great.
No one and i mean NO ONE in the league since Jordan could score as dominantly as Kobe and most importantly hit clutch game-winning shots. He's not yet quite as good a defender as Jordan was but he is under-rated on D and hasn't had a team nearly as good as Jordans since shaq went to miami. And ppl who say Jordan won titles single handedly are nuts, scottie pippen is a top 50 all time player, wayyyy under rated.
plus when they had mah boy dennis, which arguably is top 5 all time rebounders. no one will be another michael and take 5 titles because no one will have a team like michael did. lol i was juss messin kobe is a good player, though i do hate him lol
"no one will be another michael and take 5 titles"
it's 6 titles not 5 91',92',93',96',97',98'...and it woulda been 8 if Michael didn't freak out and decide he needed to play baseball for a couple years.
give lamar some time. he will improve. i know its not a comparison right now but in a year or two he will improve. that is if he is still around. phil jackson has confidence in him.
hey i think lamar is pretty good too, but scottie was totally under-rated simply because Jordan always upstaged him. at this point lamar is like 1/10 the defender that scottie was.
And walton is deveoping into a nice player but i don't see the comparison...kukoc was a spot up shooter, walton's got some pretty nice ball skills passing and setting guys up.
I think golden state has one chance to finish the series, game 6 at home. Dallas will win game 5 in texas and if it goes to game 7, dallas will have homecourt AND the momentum AND golden state will feel like OMG we could blow a 3-1 lead.
80-59 warriors right now....still plenty of time but damn...Golden State is playin like a pack of stray dogs trying to get a meal, Mavs are playin like spoiled housedogs. I'm sure the mavs'll make a run in the 4th but it's gonna have to be a huge one.
but lets focus on the positive. How about the 2 AWESOME series' to watch right now in the west!??! Warriors/Jazz feels destined for a game 7, and Amare Stoudamire called the spurs a "dirty team". I see a brawl in the spurs/suns series in the near future!!
I feel ya C Lee. I dunno what to expect from my Bulls though at this point. After game 4 i was like , "well it was a good season, we swept the defending champs, and at least we aren't getting swept by Detroit." But then we go to Detroit for game 5 and DOMINATE THEM AT HOME!?!?!??! WTF were we doing the first 3 games?!?!?
Coming back in a best of 7 from being down 3-0 to win 4 straight has NEVER happened in basketball! Red Sox did it the only time in Baseball and it's happened a couple times in hockey, man if we make history like that it'll be soooo sweet.
P.S. sorry bout your warriors nothing to be ashamed of they had a great end to their season and made the playoffs really exciting!
