Rihanna is pretty quiet at the games.

some guy in the toronto media compared Kyle Lowry to Doug Gilmour
I have no idea what the Toronto media is talking about. Kyle's smile is way better than Gilmour's.
Kyle would have to lose at least 6 teeth before we could even entertain a comparison with Doug Gilmour.

if the Raptors make it out of this round there will be all this building enthusiasm
and it's gonna be sad watching this motley crew get steam rolled by the Heat.

Yeah I kinda want the Nets to win cause I think they'd put up a better fight. Like yeah 4-0 in the regular season doesn't mean much in the playoffs but at least it shows they can compete with the Heat.

It means absolute jack. Remember when Chicago was 4-0 against Miami then got crushed 4-1 because in the playoffs the Heat play defense?

iirc a bunch of those games were close. The match score doesn't tell the whole story in terms of how good the series was.

Do the Bulls count on Rose coming back for real at MVP level and not getting hurt next season or do they go in rebuild mode an try to build something around this season's best?

Somewhere in between. Their roster without Rose is still too good to get a lottery pick, and they wouldn't be able to get full value if they attempted to trade Noah/Gibson, so they hope that Rose can stay healthy, (hopefully) amnesty Boozer, and somehow find a free agent acquisition that can actually play offense.

Valanciunas is soooo lucky that was cross-court.

Would've been bonehead play of the year for the goaltend there.

Rose wasn't injured in the series I'm talking about. Lebron just shut him down defensively.

If you're talking about 2011 Rose was also double-teamed for a lot of that series cause our starting SG was Keith fucking Bogans.

I'd be more worried about getting passed Toronto first!

I can't keep track of every season the Bulls lose 4-1 to the Heat.

Magic Johnson seems like he could be a bit of an a-hole.

the troll post written by Len Roberts about how lousy the Nets fans are on the Brooklyn Nets official twitter account..

has received an official clarification from the Brooklyn Nets organization

go home team.

where is disgraced former NBA referee Michael Donaghy and his predictions of the refs fixing the series because the NBA doesn't want playoff games in Canada?

LOL.

as per todays "Tim & Sid" show...
PG at the end of his contract , Kyle Lowry knows TO THE PENNY the salary of Deron Williams.

3 elimination games tonight. Who makes it out alive? I am fairly certain Warriors will be eliminated. The other two are harder to predict, but I think the Pacers and Thunders will force game 7. Wouldn't surprise me if they didn't though. Pacers have melted down ever since George's sexcapades and the Grizzlies are probably the best 7 seed ever.

Glad to see the Pacers came out with a sense of urgency...

Also, Hibbert in 7min, already 2 PF. No rebounds or shots ofc.
