    Watching this game after Warriors-Blazers..it feels like they are playing a different sport.

    Suprised IT is playing. Small man but big big heart. Kudos to him and prayers to his family.

    Boston looks like it doesn't have any business being the 1 seed.

    Bobby Portis looks great. I wonder how he would look on the Rockets...... oh wait we got Dekker a few picks earlier. :/

    Refs bailed out IT with the 3-point foul

    My main concern with this game is that it doesn't go into overtime so they can switch to Rockets coverage as soon as possible.

    Man I was hoping the Bulls get destroyed so that Butler would demand a trade to the Rockets.

    Bulls are so much poised than the Celtics.

    This Celtics team is hot garbage. It's almost like a watered down version of OKC (one really good player in Thomas/Westbrook, a couple of solid players, and a whole bunch of scrubs who can't get their own shot)

    Like the Raptors, the Celtics are also pretenders. The east is garbage.

    While I agree that the Celtics are pretenders, I don't think they need to panic yet against the Bulls. The Bulls have been trash all year. Things will sort themselves out over the series.

    i'm trying to remember the last time i saw the bulls lose. they could beat the warriors 73 wins record based on when i watch them play. i only caught starting at the end of the 3rd and it feels like they've scored almost every point outside of the paint. just an array of wade jumpers, butler contested 3's, and portis 3's and somehow they're pouring it on. and yet they were .500. i've heard of teams not getting up on defense for bad teams, but not getting up on shooting? do they just purposely brick against the nets and sixers? such a horrible team to watch and they won't go away.

    That was alot of hoping against one of the weakest #1 seed teams in history.

    i hate these replays where the defensive player slaps the ball out of bounds and they try to watch a super slo-mo to see if maybe it touched the offensive players fingernail last. if the offensive player is holding the ball and the defensive player provides all the impetus for it to go out of bounds, that's out on the defense. we're using replay to overturn decades of how this play has always been (correctly) called. now if the ball is slapped off someone's knee? ok, that's out on the offense (AS I'M TYPING THEY RIDICULOUSLY OVERTURN IT!!! and i want boston to win). but who's finger it touches? stupid. the defense slapped it out. it's out on the defense. end of story.
