He DESERVED it. Just for that screen he set. Congratulations Portland. I am just glad Kobe didn't take the final shot because just think what would have happend if he had made that shot.
A win is a win. I don't like the "injury" excuse anymore. We've been playing without allstars for years; other teams should be used to it.
Who are you going for? I'd much rather see the Raptors in the playoffs than the Bulls. However, if Bosh is committed to winning, and his team doesn't make the show, he may be more inclined to leave via free agency. It's a toss up for me.
Bulls definitely because if Bosh doesn't make the playoffs it'll give us a better chance of picking him up in the off season.
Would rather the Bulls because: 1. Bulls have a better record than the Raptors against the Cavs during the regular season, though not by much, 2-2 compared to 1-3 2. Bosh may not even play the first few games of the playoffs because of his injury. I want to see competitive games, not blowouts. 3. Noah-Lebron mini-rivalry 4. Bulls and Rose are more exciting to watch than no defense Raptors. 5. Bosh more likely to leave, higher possibility of going to the Rox.
Bulls-Rap game couldn't have been scheduled any better. Two teams fighting for the same 8th spot with the loser virtually eliminated...
Haha! Seattle fans can now say that karma is a real female dog when Portland won against the Lakers. Now the Thunder have to either win tomm. against Portland or hope the Spurs lose to the Timberpups tomm. to avoid a 1st round matchup against the Lakers. And the Bulls-Raps game will be interesting. I hope Chicago makes the playoffs so there is a higher chance that Bosh leaves. I really don't want either the Bulls or Raptors to make the playoffs because both really don't deserve to make it. I wish that for this season only that the Rockets would move to the Eastern conference and bump both teams and make the playoffs because if any team deserves to make the playoffs, its us!
I would love to see the Bulls get Amare, their front court would be REALLY good. Noah Amare/Gibson Deng Hinrich Rose They could easily challenge the Celtics and Hawks for the 3/4 spots in the East next year.
That frontcourt would be scary as hell! Or what if Wade decided to come back home? Rose Wade Deng Gibson Noah
I don't know if anybody is watching the OK City vs. Golden State game, but Westbrook just threw a ball into the backcourt and there was no call which lead to a FG in a very close game. Turiaf went ballistic and he looked like the Predator with his mouth open. Someone please make a gif of that.
oh man are the officials trying to give the Thunder the game? Did not call a very obvious back court violation.
OKC proves once again that when they get a big lead and lose their focus, there is almost no way they can hit reset and win a game. Once their focus is gone, it's gone for good. They were so bad on defense it was a shame. Their defense has been in complete shambles for quite some time and it's hard to believe they were an elite defensive team earlier in the season. They deserved to lose tonight. Blowing a 20-point lead to a dead-duck Warriors team is inexcusable. They better win in Portland tomorrow or they will finish 8th.
