Wade just got posterized. I’m going to have to change my avatar after that one.

DAL-OKC and CHI-MIA predictions?
I’m sticking with the team I picked at the beginning of the year OKC to win the west and I think Heat will beat the Bulls in 6.[/quote]
Going with my teams, DAL v CHI final.
DAL in 7, CHI in 6.
Gonna be interesting at work. My manager is a BIG OKC fan haha I’m gonna have to listen to his ass the next two weeks exactly why OKC is a better team than DAL.

Yeah that wasn’t his best moment, but I loved how the game started with 2 open floor dunks for Miami.
Glad I made it back in time to catch 2nd half CHI MIA
Seriously can’t believe Spo is letting his bigs sit out and going with his bench bigs.

He wanted a smaller lineup and the heat are paying for it. They’re getting killed on the glass and Rose is still getting his baskets.
Miami’s offense in this game making me nervous on my pick, but I think given a full series Lebron/Wade will ‘solve’ it and get theirs easier than they are in this one.
Observation: are these the 2 best teams at playing tight defense WITHOUT giving up fouls? So much play inside the paint with no whistles(good no calls, not just ‘letting them play’).
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Chicago’s Brewer-Asik-Gibson unit is just unfair defensively, regardless of who the other 2 are on the floor.

Yah I got that.
I thought it was a dumb move. Actually had Miami to win G1 but as soon as I heard Z and Dampier inactive, thought no way this going to be a Heat win. MIA are a better team IMO but you can’t put your lower bench guys on Noah and Boozer combo. I don’t even think they match up that well to Gibson or Asik.
Bulls crush the Heat in game 1. Great game.

what now bitches
It was just rust.
Dwayne looked out of sorts.
OMER!!!
CHI in 6
DAL > CHI in 5
I love how DAL beats LAL and now everyone likes them to win it all, a week ago they were an afterthought.
Blew my mind they were a 2:1 favorite against OKC in the WCF when I checked the lines. I think that series is hella even.

Westy deserves some serious props for that triple-double in a Game 7
Anytime you can add your name to a list that includes West, Bird, Worthy and Pippen – wow
edit - maybe that should’ve read as “a list solely comprised of…”
I had a dream that this is how its gonna go down: Dal in 5, they lose game 3 in OKC. Miami in 6 over Chicago, Bulls grab game 4 in Miami.
Finals: Dallas over Miami in 7.
Dallas is going to play matchup zone vs OKC and totally shut Westbrook down. They did this in the regular season and he averaged like 14 ppg on 30% shooting. They’ll let him drive the lane right into Chandler/Haywood. Marion will hold Durant to 30% shooting. Dirk will average 28 points and 11 rebounds and I expect atleast 10 beastly lob dunks from Tyson Chandler.
Durantula is too sick.
You guys think he’s better than Rose, right?
Miami got owned in the second half last night… but Chicago was en fuego from the field in the second half. They wont be able to keep shooting like that every game though.
I think Dallas beats OKC. Dallas has had lots of good squads over the years but managed to somehow to choke in the playoffs. I think this will finally be their year to play up to their potential… Unless Wesbrook puts up double digit assists throughout the series I dont see them pulling out the series.
