Nice. I love the artest is already causing trouble. Wait till the kings see what he has in store for them. He is useless when it comes down to crunch time, and is about a bad a teammate there has ever been. Good Luck with him boys, your going to need it

Did you even see the incident? The league is suspending him JUST in spite of his past record. If Haslem gets a suspension for THROWING something at a ref, then Artest's action deserves a fine if ANYTHING at all. Ginobli and Bowen have had their share blows. I find it quite extreme.

The first round will end MAY 7TH. That is absurd.

Change it back to 5 games.

I think certain games should get five cause I don't even see the Bulls doing a darn thing. If they win, they'd definitely surprise me. Ya'll watching the game now? Man is Walker and Williams killing us. Shaq and Wade are taking it easy and we getting busted. Hopefully they make their 3rd and 4th quarter run. I'm not even sure I'll be watching the Clips vs. Nugs. Dang, that game on Saturday was classic.......

BTW, why is Wade's head bald? He trying to "say" something??


Got that young MVP on my mind.

Him and Wade giving ode to MJ:y4:


Seriously, that was a nice spin move and lob pass from D Wade to Shaq for the dunk.

I was hoping for at least a close game but where is the Chicago D?

It's in the regular season. I personally didn't want them to freaking get in so we could have had 2 top 10 picks this lottery. Could have sold one to someone for next year when one of them big men would be dropped. They've been so iffy on defense. Sometimes, they're amazing stopping players like Vince, Lebron, Kobe, but then they just sleep on Antoine Walker and Jason Williams. Their intensity is questionable. Heck, they need something to happen cause they're making Miami look totally more fantastic than they really are.

Refs are letting a lot of calls ride on one end too since they're in Miami. Not saying which side.......

Close game? You're kidding right?

From what it was looking like Saturday, I thought they'd be mopping them on defense at least. I mean, they're doing decent with Shaq. Sweetney is stronger than I thought. Just that they're not mentally making the right decisions. Saturday was the best game they've played in the playoffs. Today was the worst. I hate to see what happens in Chicago.

Re: ***Official Running Commentary of Every Single 1st Rd NBA Playoff Game Thread***

Chicago doesnt have the interior defense, and the same with perimeter as well. Hinrich is decent. I dont think Ben cares as much about D as he does offense, and Nocioni isnt exactly Mr Sticky fingers himself either.

Deng can be good on the perimeter, but isnt consistent enough, and the other problem is rebounding when Tyson isnt there. Shaq causes problems not just because of scoring, but because he sees the floor well and can pass the ball very well.

Dont get me wrong though, CHI is scrappy and , and Skiles wont let them quit, but they're overmatched this time. Last year they had more and played a team who really didnt play much if any D at all in the Wiz.

Walker just traveled so far he landed in another country.

Re: ***Official Running Commentary of Every Single 1st Rd NBA Playoff Game Thread***

I personally think that because they let Adrian Griffin go, that changed a bit of their defensive scheme. They did so much better when he was there because he always put his little grubby hands on everything. I mean, look how he's playing in Dallas. They should have tried to play Eddie Basden a little since they putting so much worth into him. I'm curious to know what the heck they plan on doing in the draft cause they have a few positions they need to fill up. Plus, wasn't Al Harrington suppose to be hollering at the Bulls?? Not enough spots.

Re: ***Official Running Commentary of Every Single 1st Rd NBA Playoff Game Thread***

Al, who knows at this point.

Sure i think the Bulls just like any other team needs two solid perimeter defenders to keep things honest on the outside.

I dont really like this years draft too much, but Paxson has this team at heart and im sure he's planning accordingly.

In their case i think they took a step back to take a step or two forward.

Thing i like about him is, he isnt shortsighted and thinks about the future than being stuck only in the now. Patience pays off.

Re: ***Official Running Commentary of Every Single 1st Rd NBA Playoff Game Thread***

Yeah, still the GM of the year for me. He really did some great things. On the real, I was just thinking about all this flopping in the league. They should call unsportsmanlike conduct for things like that to reduce all that gay nonsense. You think they'll ever try to reduce that crap? Watching so much of it. I can see if it's a charge somewhat but not for real.
