Grizzlies SHOULD'VE won game two versus Clippers, but they threw it away. The reason I said "Mavs are up 3-1 in my head" is because they had game one, two and four in their clutch, and it sucks to see such a good series only go four games. On another note, the Bulls are looking at a 3-1 uphill battle if they don't shape up, shame how the playoffs have turned out so far :\ Shame? How? New York never had a chance, everyone knew that (except Knicks fans). Clippers vs Memphis was always going to be a close series, and Dallas getting swept by OKC wasn't all THAT surprising. The only real shitty thing about the post season so far are the injuries Chicago has suffered, but that's pretty much what Chicago has been dealing with all season so you can't really say it's something unique for the playoffs this season. | ||

Yep I agree with this. Still, its really unfortunate for Chicago, the way things went. | ||

The fuck are you talking about? I'm obviously talking about the Bulls-Sixers series and how the Bulls went from a contender to a possible first round bust.. how did you not get that?

Because you said "how the playoffs have turned so far" instead of "how the Bulls's playoff has turned so far". You have to admit that it was confusing. | ||

That doesn't qualify as a shameful post season to me. That's a single team going from contender to bust, in other words exactly what happened to the Spurs last season. Aside from what's going on with Chicago the playoffs have been really good so far. | ||

also, you can tell Deng's wrist is killing him, he wasn't then same after he tore it in the regular season but especially after he landed on it early in this game :/ | ||

I'm not buying it They wouldn't need to tank to Game 7, only game 6 for Artest to be playable in game 1 against OKC. Which I would be ok with really but with Kobe playing 40+ minutes in the game 3 loss, that kind of defeats the purpose if your goal is to be 100% prepared for OKC. | ||

I think he meant how it was turning out for the Bulls and the Mavs. Mavs didnt have enough weapons the needed and their defense missed the final piece. But I can see why its confusing, I could easily have thought he meant the post season as a whole. Bulls have like no offense but honestly theyve had the worst luck Ive seen in years. A healthy full roster gets to the Eastern finals easy, maybe some trouble from Boston. Not quite the same with the Spurs missing Manu, Memphis was just really good. This is a bit different. Knicks about to get schooled for the final time this year. | ||

It's an arrogant idea sure, it takes all the credit away from Denver as a legitimate opponent, which after the way they played in game 3, they definitely proved they are. | ||

Not sure if serious... only three of the series have been "good" so far in my opinion. OKC/DAL, MIA/NY, SA/UT, and IND/ORL have all been pretty terrible honestly. Grizzlies vs Clippers has been the most competitive match-up probably, so I would say that has been the best series. | ||

Well they missed Noah today a fair bit and a 100 percent Deng. Lets be honest the CJ Watsons and Rips were never going to get it done in the playoffs. I dont think anyone whose ever seen a playoff series would believe that. As for Rose, Manu and Garnett dont have their teams built around them as important as they are. Dont know why anyones entertaining the idea the Lakers lost on purpose. Its absurd. | ||

The fact that Dallas got swept doesnt mean that the games weren't close (they were) and competitive. | ||
