I assume that all series but the one between Wizards and Hawks will end Game 6.
 
i think bulls have a shot...... gasol back and cleveland no world beaters gonna need a perfect performance from bron born... kyrie still hurting... think both East series goes 7
 
Rose looked injured and badly. His wrist, his knee...
If he will play in Game 6, as he played second half of Game 5, Bulls are done.
 
Been awhile since there's been a Game 7 in the 2nd Round. Looks like both aforementioned refs are a go.

Have a lean, will wait for the line to improve.

Hasn't been a Game 7 in this round since 2012 (Celtics v Sixers).
 
Yup. Foster should give the rockets a win. Somehow. Someway. It'll happen. Then game 7 it'll be a fair battle and the better team will be allowed to win. That is the conspiracy angle. Foster is a puppet for whatever the league wants to accomplish.
 
Both series end tonight. Clippers win by 10+, Cleveland win - don't know how, but win. Via Under probably...

You admit the Dubs are a bad matchup for the Grizz now or you still buying that Memphis is built for the playoffs crap ?
 
2 of the 3 lowest scoring games (incl. easily the lowest) have been played in Chicago this series, and that was with a fully healthy Rose at the Bulls disposal.

Games between these 2 teams this season -

winner scored 100+ = 4-1 to Over
winner scored 99 or less: 3-1 to Under.

Add in the elim angle, and the only way I see an Over here is if one team doesn't care/plays lax and gets the doors blown off themselves (a la Cavs 98-113 loss @Chc Feb. 12th), a non-event type game leads to free & easy scoring. Frankly don't think that kind of event is on the cards in this spot. Under for me.

Why one comes instead of the other?
I believe that GSW are terrible match up for the Grizzlies and the fact that they won two games, shows that Memphis are really a playoff built team.
I thought it will be a sweep or 4 - 1 at best (though I thought that Conley won't play).

How are they a bad matchup? The Grizzlies don't have Tony Allen so how do you expect them to play their style? They cannot get into the 100s. The Warriors are making their 3s and getting comfortable. And a lot of that has to do with the officiating.

my stance has not changed one bit.
 
Going to play Houston tonight n probably regret it. Last yr they lost game 6 on buzzer beater by lilliard. Hope they show some fucking heart. But we will probably see Dwight all smiles on the court.

You have the right refs going tonight that's for sure.

Leaned Clips but the ref situation will keep me off.
 
I'm on the Clips here in various bets (parlay, teaser, ATS, TT Under on the Rockets). I'm not a big believer in the Rockets today...
 
That's just absurd. Mozgov got murdered in Game 5 at home several times and the whistle stayed silent. Now, first contact and he goes to the free throw.
Not complaining, but what happened in this league with home team friendly refs?
 
Teams think it's ASG game and not Game 6 of the second round of the playoffs. Zero defense or close to it...
 
LBJ foul issues though. If they give him a 3rd early in the 2nd quarter, we'll know what's up.
 
Both fouls were the right calls...

Took a bit on Under 208 points. Doubt teams will continue this scoring pace.

:shake:

How many ppl would of thought the series would be 2-2 a few days ago
 
Bron is 1 - 6 after 9 minutes of game...


He has been brutal all series except for Game 5

PPL sucking him off for the game winning three in game 4...he was 1 of 18 from three point land prior to hitting that shot


Here was LeBron's stats before Game 5


LEBRON JAMES

GAME FOUR: 10 OF 30 SHOOTING / 33 % ( and somehow will get sucked off for hitting the game winning shot that was gift wrapped by the refs )


GAME THREE: 8 OF 25 SHOOTING / 32 %


FOR THE SERIES:

40 OF 106 / 37 %

2 OF 19 FROM THREE / 10 %
 
I know... been saying it here many times that Bron sucked all series but for last game.
 
LeBron now 3 of 23 from 3 point land for the series

If Bulls win this game the leaugue owes them an apology for fuking them out of a game 4 win with that bullshit

What bullshit ? Refs missed a pair of calls on the Bulls that would have sealed the game for the Cavs.

Are you kidding me ?

giving them a free timeout to set up a play with the review.

Total shitshow.

Gave them an extra .3 too many on the clock and gave LBJ time to hit the shot

Here is video of Blatt trying to call a time out...Isnt that a Technical ???

https://vine.co/v/emDVlBtrJO2


And if you wanna claim LeBron was fouled on his drive , go back further and watch LBJ push off with his off hand the entire time down the court on Butler

Nice free timeout and an extra .3 seconds refs

This after trying to fuk the Bulls in Game 3

LeBron fouls Butler..no call..next time down the floor a gift / bullshit foul to put LeBron on the line <!-- / message -->

That was all after the fact of the 2 missed calls on Butler and Noah. NBA is what it is.
 
Refs were a bit friendly to the Bulls in Game 4 no doubt. Nothing serious though...
 
Huge possession for the Bulls.
Bron have yet to lose a playoff game, when his team lead by 15+ points in second half...
 
Bulls probably make it interesting. Not writing them off to win SU either.

Bron with a really dominant SU record when up 10+ at the half though.
 
LBJ needs to step up, he stinks right now. If he contributes anything offensively the Cavs win.
 
LeBron as of right now:

48 of 119 in the series for 40 %3
of 23 from three for 11 %

No Love , Kyrie hurt...amazing how they are gonna win this series

Goes back to the Mozgof , Smith , Shumpurt pick ups

All that means is that whoever he meets in the ECF's if he gets past the Bulls is screwed. Dude will put up hella-numbers next round.
 
This was a coming back from the grave series so far, so not writing anyone off, but Bulls appear to be done.
It was the feeling since early in Game 5 for me.
Cleveland are not that far behind.
Both teams are very tired and playing on their last drops of fuel, but leading by DD in elimination game sure gives a bit more jump to their feet or at least it appears to be so.
