    I'll be OK with that if it happens. I want the Bulls players to experience a game 7. Losing today would have been a huge disappointment.

    I think the Bulls have the edge. after 7 OTs played, the 7th game is like the 8th game. The Bulls have young legs.

    I hope the Bulls win it, but it just has that feel where everyone is now expecting Game 7 to be crazy good and then a blowout happens. :(Hope I am wrong.


    I called Noah a bust when he was drafted but he is proving me wrong. Turning into a very solid player. I couldn't stand him at Florida but I like him now that he is playing for the Bulls.

    Brad Miller hasn't played this good in ages . . 5 years.

    Kirk Hinrich hasn't been this good in ages . . . 2 years

    Ray Allen hasn't been this good in ages . . . since he left Seattle and been even more clutch than last year against the Lakers

    John Salmons hasn't been a non-factor, as I thought he might've been...

    Derrick Rose hasn't even touched the iceberg of his potential, yet

    Johakim Noah and Glen Davis have never and will never be this good again.

    LOL, Barkley was like Y'all forgot how Jordan and I went up against each other in the finals in the best series conversation.

    To me that series was the best.

    For as great as this series has been, it has also been an exercise in crunch time ineptitude. The fact that I had to miss half of the Rockets game tonight officially has me hating both teams right now.

    Best playoff series by far. Rose is unreal and the young Bulls are taking the Celtics to game seven. Ray Allen with one of the best shooting performances I have ever seen.

    Agree. Exciting yes. Quality, probably not. Either team will probably be killed the Rockets for making than many mistakes.

    This has to be one, if not the best, first round playoff series I have seen game for game.

    That Last play by Noah was amazing. Not only was it a big dunk, but I was surprised by how fast he ran.

    Rose needs to work on his shot a little more. It's a good, but not consistent.

    I really think Bulls will win game 7, they have younger legs. You know the series is over when Paul Pierce can't even catch up with Joakim Noah

    Very entertaining and a great series too in my book.

    But I'll take Orlando in 5 or 6 against either team.

    Bulls @ Orlando Magic L 93-96
    Bulls v Orlando Magic L 94-113
    Bulls v Orlando Magic W 120-102
    Bulls @ Orlando Magic L 107-79


    Thats the season series so far. Keep in mind however this was their season against Boston:

    Bulls @ Boston L 80-96
    Bulls v. Boston L 108-126
    Bulls @ Boston W 127-121

    The latter half of both series included John Salmons and Brad Miller since they were both post-trade additions. I think if the Bulls played Orlando, it'd definitely be a fast, fun, series which could potentially go 6 games. I could see the Bulls pulling it out because I feel they have better defenders and more scoring options. With Orlando once you get past Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis, everything just falls into a "eh" state.


    Also, when the hell did Glen "Big Cry Baby" Davis get so damn good? This guy's out there playing like a gaurd, hittin fadeaways, jumpers, the works!
