The bulls apparently have fucking forgot how to make a FG. Game two isn't looking any better than one, gonna be another fucking disgrace =\

Refs aren't fucking helping either~

they're getting swept. I didn't think the Bulls were that great, I just thought Miami sucked. Pistons/Spurs final. Spurs in 6.

*_* The bulls attempted 52 FT's and the pistons attempted 23 there was alot of bad calls that should have been no calls but still they shot 30 more free throws i'd say the refs helped the bulls.

The refs are the least of Chicagos worries.

Ronne · 05-08-2007, 08:18 AM

Yeah, scoring points should be a chief concern at this point~

I really don't think the Bulls or Detroit have what it takes to beat the spurs though.

Kolle · 05-09-2007, 03:15 PM

i'm enjoying 3 of the series in this round so far. pistons vs bulls is barely watchable so i hardly bother. i will still check in on it when they play in chicago just to see if they can make it a decent series, but meh.

The way things are going I dont think either will have to worry about the spurs..

manslayer · 05-09-2007, 08:57 PM

Yeah because splitting in Phoenix and gaining home court is horrid. Oh, except that's about as good as can be realistically expected. Blah, blah they lost game 2 pretty decisively for sure, however it isn't like they won't make any adjustments either. I'd be willing to bet that Parker and Manu won't be shut down like they were in game 2.

Kolle · 05-09-2007, 09:09 PM

jazz vs warriors is a great fucking watch

darksensei · 05-10-2007, 01:26 AM

The Spurs have the talent to adjust, and if the Suns are going to take game 3 they must anticipate the adjustments and at least shut down either Manu or Parker. Duncan is gonna get his 30 points or so, but if we can lower his rebounding totals and really crash the boards Suns might pull out the win.

For the Suns I keep expecting Marion to have a breakout game. For those that don't follow the team he is an emotional wreck. Constantly feeling slighted and under appreciated and as a result he plays worse. If people start hyping him up a bit, and Nash can get him rolling offensively his whole game improves.

And yeah, Jazz vs. Warriors is must see TV atm. I'm personally shocked Utah is able to beat GS at its own game, but we'll see how homecourt effects this series.

Blumpster · 05-10-2007, 02:55 AM

Both teams played equally terrible tonight. Jazz had way too many turnovers and GS was tossing up the triples like candy. Utah's passing game needs some work, especially against the Warrior's defense in the lane, which is impressive seeing as they have no big dudes. GS made a good amount of the threes, but holy shit, they need to get some ball movement going and stop tossing up rushed three pointers.

Suns/Cavs in the finals.

I think a lot of people are shocked that the Jazz can run simply because they have not watched them this season and they only think about the Stockton-Malone style basketball. Most people who followed the Jazz know that they are capable of playing both high-scoring basketball (v. GS), as well as post-up, grind-it-out basketball (v. Rockets). I think Chuck Barkley was the only guy that got this right. Dick Stockton just sounds like an idiot who hasn't watched Utah all season with his insistence that Utah "needs to slow the tempo." I guess he isn't aware that Utah was like 5th or 6th in the league in offense.

That said, this series feels like a reversal of the Utah-Houston series. Utah barely winning on their home court, and presumably GS blowing away Utah on their court, with GS eventually stealing one on the road to win the series, just like Utah did with Houston.

I say its going to be a Spurs v. Pistons finals, and I'm not going to say who will win out of those two, because those East teams seem to pull off the unexpected -- probably because the West team is exhausted after fighting through the brutal road to the finals in the West.

I REALLY hope its not Spurs and Pistons in finals, both teams are a fucking bore to watch for me.

Agreed. I'd much rather see Bulls/Nets (since both can run) versus any Western Conference team except the Spurs. I've still got my fingers crossed for a Phoenix/GS conference finals matchup...in which we'd see which we'd likely see some scoring records challenged, and finally find out if it's possible to score 20 points in under a minute. (I'm guessing yes)

As a Jazz fan, I hope they beat GS, but biases aside I think any lover of basketball would agree that a Suns/Warriors conference finals would be awesome to watch
