    I really thought Cavs were done after Love went out. But I think we'll win the East no problem. The West is gonna be where it gets real hard. Although if it's the Warriors, even though they are dangerous, I'd say our defense is more suited to protect the perimeter even more so now that Love isn't in and we can play a bit smaller.

    Who do you guys think will make it to the finals from the West? And what kind of matchup you see if they play the Cavs?

    Really hope Grizzlies can keep that series alive tonight, it'd be awesome if we had 2 or 3 game 7s this round.

    Anyone know if Grizzlies/Warriors game 7 and Rockets/Clippers game 7 would both be on Sunday?

    Replay of rockets/clippers on NBATV starting in about 50 minutes (9 am pacific) for anyone that missed the comeback. The game's condensed into an hour so it shouldn't take too long to get to the comeback.

    Terrible game last night for the Bulls. The Cavs beat us in every way possible. There's just no way you can beat a great team when you score 30 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters combined. The game was again there for the taking in the beginning of the 2nd half, but the Bulls came out even flatter than the Cavs. Too many jumpers. We were in the bonus 6 minutes into the 3rd quarter and barely shot any free throws.

    If you would have told me LeBron would s---t 40% for the series, Love would be out, JR would miss the 1st 2 games, and Kyrie would be slowed down by injury for half the series, I would have bet my life savings on the Bulls to win the series.

    I feel we may have a lot of coaching & roster changes in the off season. I'm confident Rose, Butler, Gasol, Mirotic, McDerrmott, and Snell will all be back next year. Thibs finally got a deep roster, but had no idea how to utilize his bench, which was puzzling all season. In 2011, our bench was not as strong but was a big part of our success.

    Anyway, congrats to the Cavs, they beat us with a total team effort.

    Can't believe the Rockets won last night. I could easily see them winning this series. I think the Clippers would be a much tougher match up for the Warriors though.

    I counted the rockets out since game 5. Can't believe they won. And it wasn't by a few points it was mind blowing

    Bet Bulls fans would have loved their chances last night had they known Kyrie would get hurt and Bron would struggle lol, it's amazing they still lost by 20 or whatever it was.

    Seen this Seraphin guy play a couple times before and he always seems to play hard and give good minutes, surprised he doesn't play more.

    Kinda expecting a 4th quarter Wizards rally here to send the series to 7.

    0.1 seconds earlier and we'd of been going to overtime. Paul Pierce is a machine.

    Figured it was late when I saw it live, not sure why he waited so long. He could have easily shot it earlier, frustrating way to begin your offseason I'd think. OT would have been nice there.

    So if the Cavaliers make the NBA Finals, LeBron James and James Jones will be the first players since Bill Russell's Celtics to make it to 5 straight NBA finals.

    Curry with the 62 footer to end the 3rd, really killed some of the momentum the Grizzlies had there.

    Lowkey wanted the Wizards to beat the Hawks so they could play the Cavs. Pierce vs. Lebron playoff battles have always been great and hilarious. Pierce said he wanted to be the one to gurard Bron and Bron went out and scored 50 points on him :hov:

    I thought for sure when the Rockets were down by 20 that they were finished. Woke up and saw that we came back, dropped 40 in the fourth quarter, and Josh Smith went off, I nearly s--- myself. It's moments like that that show what a team is made of, and the Rockets prevailed. I really hope we win game 7. In regards to the Eastern Conference Finals, I hope the Hawks win that series, I'm so f---ing sick of seeing Lebron James in the finals.
