I really can't see Chicago beating Detroit, 'cuz the Pistons can put Billups and Hamilton on Gordon, and throw Prince on Deng. If they shut down those two, the Bulls still have a good team offensively, but nobody who can even start to "take over." I hope that I'm wrong, but I just don't see it happening.

Nevertheless, watching the Bulls is a lot of fun. They're one of the only teams in the NBA that actually shoots jump shots--mostly by Deng. It's not all dunks & threes--basketball's equivalent of home runs.

lol @ the Heat shooting free throws.

also, does anyone else think that Antoine Walker bears an uncanny resemblance to a frog?

Woohoo! The bandwagon's got plenty of room, folks.

Watching the Nets/Raptors game right now, and this is just brutal. Toronto looks so terrible right now. The Nets don't even look that great, but Toronto just looks atrocious. They're losing by 30 halfway through the 3rd quarter.

my mistake. forgot the bulls sweeping the heat. so the bulls, cavs, and pistons all look like easy 1st rounds for them, while the nets look like they will have no problems with toronto in game 5. clearly, new jersey is starting to show their playoff experience swagger against the raptors. the raptors are a young versatile team, but at the end, the nets are proving their amount of playoff experience in the past is going to help them in this playoffs.

a nets-cavs series and bulls-pistons series doesn't sound too bad. by the way the nets are playing, i think they have a nice chance against the cavs, and the bulls-pistons is going to be one ugly battle. i wouldn't be surprised if we see a couple of fights break out in this battle, but it wouldn't be like those old school bulls-pistons series with the bad boys against jordan.

as for the lakers, they're done. they have no answers for any of phoenix's weapons. fortunately, san antonio has the right equipment to put the clamps on nash and crew. nash with 24 assists this afternoon.

If the Bulls can get past Detroit, I really think they can play with anybody, but that team just matches up with them so well. We shall see, though.


oh, and how could I forget--Ben Wallace hitting 7 straight free throws to end the game

I was literally laughing watching that. Talk about a sign of it just being your series.

imo, the starting 5 for the bulls matchup almost even to the pistons starting 5. hamilton-billups have a slight edge over gordon-hinrich. hamilton will take away gordon's game. billups can clearly outmuscle hinrich anyday. wallace-prince-webber have a slight edge over wallace-deng-pj brown. webber can force wallace and brown out of the painted area, because if they don't guard him in the perimeter, he can hit those easy 15 to 17 foot shots at ease as we saw in the past. the matchup i am most forward to seeing is prince-deng. i love prince's game, and the way he puts out 110% on both ends of the floor. easily a #1/#2 scorer on anyone of the 29 nba teams. deng is a force to reckon with these past couple of months since the all star break.

major factor is the bench. duhon-noicini-thomas-malik allen are going to be keys to how chicago can survive detroit's defense. detroit's bench isn't that bad(delfino-mcdyess-mohammad-murray-hunter), but chicago's bench has the slight edge here.

i can't choose who is going to win this series.

Holy shit. Anybody watching the Dallas/Warriors game? The Warriors have been down for a while now, then they tied it up right before the half, then Dirk got an and1 with one second left...followed by a Baron Davis halfcourt shot to end the half tied.
