[20:15:39] <@CaptKirby> hahahah
[20:15:46] <@CaptKirby> why are they interviewing Scalabrine
[20:15:50] <@CaptKirby> what the FUCK is happening hahahaha

since the game turned into a blowout, the most notable thing about this game is them interviewing Scalabrine at halftime and how hilarious it was
 
WOOT. 10 seconds left Celtics are up 109-99. Let's just end this already, so I can get my dream series of Magic vs Celtics.

And as far as going to the Finals to LOSE to the Cavaliers haha thats funny. Darkie pretty much summed up everything I would like to say. Nobody can stop the Lakers NOT the Cavaliers haha. The only team that can stop both however would be Orlando, and seeing Orlando vs Cleveland and then see Orlando vs LAL right after that would be pretty awesome. Either way I think we can all agree the Eastern Conference finals are bound to be good.

Cleveland vs Boston or Orlando. :D
 
That was a disappointing game if you're a Bulls fan. Nothing would go in for them mid-4th quarter. They had so many opportunities to cut at that small lead but kept taking bad shots/drives. Great series, props to Boston for winning it without Powe and Garnett.

I don't see them beating the Magic unless Garnett comes back.
 
And so ends a great series on an anticlimax *Sigh*

Sure gave em a hell of a shakeup though! Now to Magic vs Celts.
 
I kind of agree with you Zero.

Honestly though I'm questioning what everyone else may be questioning.

Do the Magic play better without Dwight Howard? This has been under some close speculation for the fact that when Howard was suspended for Game 6, everybody thought the Magic were going to lose yet instead what happens is the Magic's biggest blowout of the 76ers of the whole series. So this makes me question, was this just a one-time fluke kind of thing and the 76ers played bad or are the Magic really better off without Howard?
 
I was kinda disappointed when the Bulls lost, my dad and I kept rooting for them since they were the obvious underdogs.
 
My poor Bulls. They didn't deserve it at all, but it would have been nice to see them win.

I'm not gonna lie, it felt great seeing Rondo on the floor when Miller dragged him down.
 
Birdman scares me sometimes.... Great game overall. I know the Mavs are gonna come with fire the next game. They should have had more Bass in their diet so their inside hustle game could pick up.

I believe the ratings would have fallen too much had Rondo not been there, and the battle of the PG's thing was too good for Stern to pass up. Bastards.
 
Being a Celtics fan, that win over the Bulls proved one thing to me:

We have no chance at beating the Magic or Cavs.

I guess I can look forward to a good match-up with Magic vs. Cavs Eastern Conference Finals.

I would really like to see the Magic win it all. But I doubt they would get past the Lakers..
 
What darkie said. I mentioned that earlier in the topic as well. Denver vs Dallas is looking to be a great series, Dallas will come back Game 2 with more on pace and should even it up.
 
I went 2 of 4 in the west and 3 of 4 in the east for predictions last week, not bad.
Round 2 Predictions
Rockets over Lakers in 7
Mavs over Nuggets in 7
Choosing the lower seeds here, I truly think that Houston can beat LA

Cavs over Hawks in 6
Magic over Celtics in 6
Both of these are pretty obvious who will win based on regular season performance
 
Lakers over Rockets in 6
Nuggets over Mavs in 5 - Yeah they're playing like crazy now.

Cavs over Hawks in 5
Magic over Celtics in 6 (potentially 7)
 
West:
Nuggets vs Mavs: Nuggs in 6 games
Lakers vs Team Rockets: Lakers in 6 games

East:
Cavs vs Hawks: Cavs in 5 games
Magic vs Celtics: Magic in 7 games
