The only question left is: Will the Jazz pick "The Jimmer" with their Top 3 pick?

I mean...we all know that they always draft the best white guy available.

mavspwnage · 05-17-2011, 08:03 PM

#1 and #4 pick. Hell yes. LOL

fluid.forty.one · 05-17-2011, 08:48 PM

david kahn needs to STFU its not like they got the 8th pick they got the freaking second pick

LonghornDub · 05-18-2011, 07:48 PM

I'm still at work so I'm only watching the game via gamecast, but it seems like a bad thing when you're 7 minutes to the game but only up 3 despite shooting 57% and the other team shooting 13%.

FINtastic · 05-18-2011, 07:50 PM

The legendary "Cold Game" is already underway.

What is "face-guarding" ?

€dit: Already figured out

I think they are talking about the tactic that Battier does on defense quite a bit. Instead of going for the block when guarding a jumpshooter, you put your hands in front of the offensive player's eyes in an effort to block his line of vision.

j0Shi · 05-18-2011, 08:12 PM

Thx ... Kidd also does that a lot I think. Never heard that term before.

Deng with the buzzer beater from mid-court. It's really going Chicago's way right now. This could be a defining series for Spoelstra. He's getting a lot of heat in the playoffs. First he did change the starting lineup way too late when the numbers suggested it so badly and now his lineups scream "I have no clue how to beat them."

I think they are stealing that term from football.

mac222b · 05-18-2011, 09:16 PM

LeTravel walks alot

mac222b · 05-18-2011, 09:33 PM

Thought Thibodeau stayed w/ the starters too long in the 3rd.
And Jamal Magliore is a worthless fat turd out there.

mac222b · 05-18-2011, 09:38 PM

OMG did anyone else just see Lebron dribble pick up the ball for 3 seconds, look around and then dribble again with NO CALL! never seen that before

p.s. thats an example of why i dont want the Mavs to face the cHeat

dalger · 05-18-2011, 09:39 PM

I don't like that Haslem is getting back on track...

mac222b · 05-18-2011, 09:48 PM

Thank you Erik Spoelstra, for leaving Haslem(esp)&Mike Miller out here way too long.

neither do i but he's gassed and Spoelstra leaving him out there has allowed the Bulls to get back in it.

mac222b · 05-18-2011, 10:02 PM

Deng is not underrated or an All-Star like JVG said last night. He's exactly what he looks like he is. A guy who's ok at alot of things but great at no one thing.

TripleDipping · 05-18-2011, 10:07 PM

Yes, Miami wins superballs now.

fluid.forty.one · 05-18-2011, 10:08 PM

Screw it. I want Miami. Revenge time.

j0Shi · 05-18-2011, 10:09 PM

Only one game for Haslem. Mike Miller also had a good game or two when he was back from injury. That's not the definition of being "back."

I thought I saw him do that, but I wasn't sure because I was watching from the backboard cam on the online feed, and it didn't provide as good of an angle.

Maybe that's what it was and I just doubted my senses.

This. I'm on board.

mac222b · 05-19-2011, 01:52 AM

So has anyone else noticed the 3 day gap between Games 2&3 in the East Finals and find it odd? I know they want the Heat to play on Sunday, but they could've played Friday and still done that. The West Series is every other day the whole way. Why is it done this way? Is it Oprah?

rmacomic · 05-19-2011, 05:21 AM

Wasn't too impressed with the heat win. Chicago just couldn't make them pay for packing the lane. Seemed like all the bulls wanted to do was try to dunk every time down the court in the fourth. Looked to me like less of Lebron outscoring them and more of the bulls playing a one dimensional offense. But, I don't work for espn, so I am probably wrong and the heat are the best team ever.

You're right, the win was there for the taking. Rose, Deng and Noah were terrible. The offense was stagnant. And they still could've won. Asik and Gibson were clearly better than Noah and Boozer and Thibodeau stayed w/his starters too long in the 3rd. Rose looked tired. The Bulls bench is good, Thibodeau cant be afraid to use it.

Agreed. He's a good defender. I'm just not buying the whole "underrated" thing. He's a nice player. He is what he is. And if he's your 2nd/or2a option offensively you're going to experience some long scoring droughts.

Agreed, he is a good player but he isn't a top tier SF, he should be a third option on a good team. I think his weakness is his ball handling but that could just be me. Good off of curl cuts struggles to create good shots in 1 on 1 situations.

mac222b · 05-22-2011, 07:35 PM

so apparently no else found it odd that there was a 3 day lay-off in the Eastern Finals? Go Bulls?

mac222b · 05-22-2011, 07:43 PM

I swear i havent seen Bibby make a shot the entire playoffs. Deng cant finish. Boozer is a shell of his former self.
The refs are really letting them play.

mac222b · 05-22-2011, 07:45 PM

Noah has gotta play smarter. 2 fouls already.

mac222b · 05-22-2011, 07:46 PM

Asik is the new Mozgov. Boy can ball.

Always has been and always will be the definition of an overrated and annoying (verbal flopping) bitch.

Watching Miami play makes me physically ill.

I second that wholeheartedly.

btw:
Everytime Lebron goes left, he takes a jumpshot.
