Well, the Heat are a higher seed than the Bulls but they don't have homecourt advantage. Therefore, they must win a road game to win the series. The phrase "But aside from that..." makes it seem like their will be no other road wins but you believe that the higher seed will win 'em.

Ah yes, I did forget that one. I have the Bulls in 6. Thanks for reminding me about that one.

yep, looks like.
 
go warriors!! i don't see why everyone's so down on them beating the mavs.. yeah, the mavs are the better team, but the W's have beat them 6 times in a row now.. last i heard, you only have to win 4 of 7... and yes, i understand a 7 game series is different than 7 individual games, and yes, i knwo the playoffs is a whole different animal than the regular season.. but dude, avery has to adjust the mavs line to suit the 8 seeded warriors?? there's some problems there...

they can start damp or diop if they want and dirk just can't handle the speedy small guys doubling him up.. the warriors have beaten that lineup... i'll go on record that the W's will upset the mavs
 
seriously we need to STICKY THIS THREAD

I watched the Warriors game last night, I wasn't rooting for anybody but the way I saw the warriors ended that game, I'm on their side now! 🙂 Amazing
The either underestimated (playing nonchalantly) or overestimated (changing the starting lineup) the underdogs

I had a feeling the Nuggets would pull through. Nuggets in 6.

The Spurs played like absolute sh!t, and still had a chance to pull it out with 20 seconds left. They will win the series 4-1.

Yeah, I'm sure the Spurs will be polished come Tuesday. Where was Manu??? Horry stepped up big for the Spurs, surprisingly. I guess he was saving it for the playoffs.

Faking a fall most likely 😛 I have never seen anyone fake flounder as much as that lovely human.

Yeah...haven't seen that before. I really hope the Pistons don't get to the finals...Cavs or Heat.

unless uhh some center of theres happens to call a timeout in game 7 when they are down by 1 and theres 10seconds left on the clock😉
 
t-mac is playing amazing...he's seriously a better mvp candidate than kobe. the yao/mcgrady duo is going to be lethal. same with the ai/melo duo. man, i'm loving this 😀

the NBA r0xorz

even tho i'm a huge AI fan, i'm rooting for the spurs cause I know they can play their style against any team they want. thats whats most important to win the championship, moreso than the cliched "defense wins championships"

west definitely tougher by leaps and bounds...rockets reward if advance past 1st round? mavs who are very deep/talented, or warriors who's style of ball causes lots of trouble for rockets defense.
 
Rockets looked really good last night...when T-mac is feeling it he's scary. Anyone see that pick and roll near the end of the game where he just tossed it up to Yao? Heh, Yao barely jumped and he threw it down with authority.

Wade needs to get to the FT line at least 12 times tonight if the Heat want to have a chance. Hinrich will play a lot better than he did in the first game (as if that was hard to do) and I think the Bulls are just a better team right now.

And hopefully the Suns can take a 2-0 lead. I'd like to see the Suns get out to a fast start, at least 30 in the 1st quarter, because you can't keep having slow starts in the playoffs. Good teams won't let you come back in the 4th quarter. Can't wait to go to the bar with friends, drink, and enjoy great basketball. People hate on the NBA all the time, but it doesn't get better than the NBA playoffs.

thats important cause he's their best perimeter defender and he's going to be covering wade. he's given wade a hard time before and with wade injured, he should really give him problems. also, even tho he's a streaky shooter, no slouch offensively...he can create and knock down shots.

Only problem I see with the bulls is that they are too dependent on jumpers...that could give them problems if they're not hitting.

Sephalosha (sp?) did a pretty good job bothering Wade on defense. Also, isn't Duhon a more noted defender than Hinrich?

i dunno...but when ever hinrich is on the floor, he's usually guarding wade. (this is from watching a couple of reg season games) i'm sure they'll throw other defenders at wade too

Blame Raps Crappy management.
And the editing of the TV producers of his interview.

The biggest bitch are the fans of toronto that can't get over it.
