That Bulls game was ing insane!!!! The refs seemed to be trying their damnedest to Chicago over, but thank God they were able to overcome and pull out the victory... The refs in that game proved how terrible NBA refs are. Seriously the NBa would be better off w/ no refs than the hacks that call the games. On the play where Reggie Evans fouled out, they first called a foul on Deng when Evans was on top of him. Then changed it to a foul against Boozer before finally getting the call right against Evans. Lopez constantly triping over his feet and still getting to the foul line as well was a joke. Also seemed like every time Gibson came into the game the refs called crap against him when he just stood there. Just some of the many BS calls tonight. Besides the refs an amazing game by the Bulls. The majority of NBA "analysts" were saying the Bulls had no shot to beat Brooklyn in 7 due to their lack of offense. They simply don't understand that this Bulls team is built on defense, and Nate Robinson's 12-0 run w/ 3 minutes left showed that. They shut teams down to the point where they don't need to score a ton. And the people claiming they have no offense, look at their 140+ pnt performance tonight. Fun to see guys on TNT like Steve Kerr eating their words and jumping on the Chicago band wagon. As for Brooklyn, I've been saying all year that they are all hype. The team simply does not gel together and people don't realize their glaring weaknesses. Williams has been a very inconsistent player since about 09, often being a shadow of his former self in Utah. Kirk Hinrich has shown in the series that physical defense will knock him out of his rythem. Lopez is arguably the best offensive 7 footer in the game today, but his defense and rebounding are down right aweful. A very soft player, and it was a joke that he kept getting to the line when he fell over his own feet a bunch tonight. Wallace is just simply old and bad now. If this was Wallace from 5-6 years ago, hes one of the best SFs in the game. Today, his offense just isn't there and his constant flopping on defense won't get him any calls, even from these crap refs the NBA has. Johnson is also on the down swing in his career. He can still score, obviouse by the 3 over times today, but he completly disapeered in games 2, 3, and regulation of tonights game 4. But he isn't the dominant player who took over games like he was in his prime anymore. Thow in the facts that Evans has almost no offense (bar todays game), their bench sucks, and they are a very iso 1-on-1 team, and they simply can't compete with the top teams in the playoffs.

I was one of those people who thought D-Will was just as good as CP3 if not better.
Needless to say those days are long gone.

The Celtics suck so bad, the Knicks couldve used these starting lineups in the series and still swept them
SF-Carmelo Anthony PF-Amare Stoudamire C-Tyson Chandler SG-JR Smith PG-Pablo Prignoni
SF-James White PF-Kenyon Martin C-Amare Stoudamire SG-Jason Kidd PG-Raymond Felton

He was arguably just as good as Paul during his first few years in the league w/ Utah, even w/ his weight problems. Him and Boozer ran the best pick and roll game in the league and came close to making the Finals before going out in the WCF. Even since Boozer left Utah and left Derron he simply hasn't been the same player. He lacks focus and simply doesn't care anymore. He claimed he got sick of the "team basketball" played in Utah, but he didn't realize that it was the perfect system for him. Coming to the Nets, Avery Johnson used a more Iso 1-on-1 game. He has struggled in the system for a few years now. Having Iso guys like Johnson and Wallace on his team doesn't help him either.

Bulls struggled bad w/out Hinrich tonight. Robinson just can't guard Williams and as long as Johnson was out there w/ him, Thibs couldn't switch Butler or Deng onto him. Hopefully Hinrich is back Thursday so the Bulls can end this thing. Getting sick of seeing the softie Lopez trip over his own feet and still getting to the line.

Grizzlies look strong! I'm starting to think they'll be in the Finals. They're tough match up for both the Spurs and Thunder and that was before the injuries. Their front court is punishing and they have 3 excellent wing defenders and clutch shot makers to boot. I think they can pull it off, I really do.

Like I said before the playoffs, I want to see Memphis in the Finals. The team is just an absolute blast to watch.

Their front court is punishing and they have 3 excellent wing defenders and clutch shot makers to boot. I think they can pull it off, I really do. I love the Grizzlies alot but the Clippers have been way overhyped this year. Memphis, even after the Rudy Gay trade, should be expected to win this series. They have arugably the best tandem of big men in the league, but everything depends on how consistent Gasol and Randolph are offensively. Gasol winning DPOY shows how good defensively he is, but he needs to take on a more consistent scoring role like he has the first two games. Randolph is a bad defender so he needs to make up for it with huge offensive games like he has recently, but like Gasol needs to stay consistent and not hit slumps like he did for the first two games. Against the Thunder, they definatly have a chance now that Westbrook is out. As for the Spurs, depends on how healthy Tony Parker is. If he is still hurt, Grizzlies have a great shot. If Parker has recovered from his ankle injury, it'll be a closer matchup that I'd give the edge to the Spurs.

Happy that I correctly predicted the one series I truly cared about...but never did I expect the Knicks to win in 6 the way they did. Big ups to the Celtics for showing true heart and determination as they fought valiantly to try and make history while making this series VERY interesting those last 3 games, especially in the 4th quarter tonight. Knicks better damn well regroup and refocus before the Pacers arrive at The Garden this Sunday.
