First rose, now shumpert. Both knee injuries. Not a good day for point guards.

Maynor, Rubio, Shumpert, and Rose all out with ACL injuries this year! As a Bulls fan, I feel very saddened


I blame David Stern for being money hungry - 66 games in the time frame of 50 games is crazy!

West: OKC do not have the experience yet, so i say spurs
East: Heat

Winners: Lbj gets his revenge from '07 and his ring, Heat WIN.

I hate the Bulls but you just gotta feel bad for D Rose. It looked like he found his rythme and now he gets injured. Hopefully when he recovers he will be able to play at a high level again. Also a lot of people are saying the Bulls are done but they are still a tough out. I don't think they will win a ring but I know they won't go down easy.

Lebron Reg season MVP, Finals MVP and gets his first def. not last ring. Lebron haters wont have shit to say....

I almost cried when rose went down (but then cried tears of joy when Durant made that shot) but people seem to forget he missed half the season and the bulls still finished second in the east. With solid bench play, the bulls will give whoever they face in the second round a run for their money. They won't win it all but they're not out yet. I really want OKC to win it all but their inexperience and poor shot selection is going to kill them. I have them getting eliminated in the western conference final. Final should be San-an and Miami, with Miami winning it (I really hope Miami loses though lol).

God the east is such a cake walk now. Rose is out, dwight out, ray Allen out, rondo might be suspended for bumping the ref.
Only competitive team is Miami, maybe NY
The west on the other hand has okc and San Antonio, followed by LA. Not to mention Dallas that can give okc a run for their money and Memphis that has the potential to beat the any team.

 

[Gurbir23]

who just caught the clips game.....FUCKING...RIDICULOUS!

 

[Love]

Memphis with the biggest choke job ever

 

[bhangrathug]

holy shit. anyone see the grizz n clipps game?? nuts, watch highlights if u didnt/

 

[crimsonNcream]

Clips-Grizz mayne!......Games like that totally worth only getting 4 hours of sleep

 

[Jacquizz Rogers]

celtics played like ass and still kept it really close vs the hawks. if rondo doesnt have a suspension, they will be a dangerous team and are probably the only team in the east that can beat miami in a 7 game series. but if boston doesnt make it through, heat will easily be in the finals. i originally had okc in the championship but i think L.A. will be there because andrew bynum is dirty right now. having a good center is a luxury in this league and the lakers are taking advantage of it.
