Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread 1st Round

We'll see.

I expect to see the Sixers win by about 10-15 points again tonight. If the Bulls are as talented as you seem to think they are, then they should make it a close game, maybe even win.

Honestly win or lose tonight by however much isn't going to change the fact that this Bulls team minus Rose is miles ahead of LeBron's Cavs minus LeBron.

That said, I still don't see the Sixers shooting damn near 60 percent from the field for the game and 65 percent in the second half again.

On another note it's kinda funny to me that we didn't believe the Sixers could erase a twelve point deficit in a minute and a half because of the Bulls D and how bad the Sixers offense is, but now the Bulls D is bad enough to allow Philly to shoot out of their minds for the remainder of the series.

I don't see why the Celtics couldn't beat the Heat if Ray Allen is healthy.

Me either. but he's gotta be healthy IMO. for them to have a legit shot.

Rondo is talking so much **** right now it is not even funny

“The end result is all that matters,” Rondo said. “If there had been a different result, it would have been very difficult. But since we won, it felt like we won the series already.”

“I don’t have anything to prove,” he said. “Why would I have anything to prove? I just want to win. That’s it.

“I’m confused about why you guys would think I have anything to prove. I mean, it’s a game I’ve been playing my entire life. The world knows what I can do. Like I said, the world knows what I can do. I’ll continue to go out there and play and do what I do best and be the best point guard in the NBA.”

Haha I like Rondo's demeanor. He really doesn't give a **** about P.C.

He always has that quiet confidence and borderline arrogance..

"I feel like we already won the series"

Hahhaah

I love for my players to have that kind of confidence as well.

I just hope he can back up it now because like they say, "If you can talk the talk, then walk the walk".

Yeah sounds like he tested it out and it was too sore. Ray Allen otoh finished his warmups and looks to be good to go.

Yup. I think Ray Allen went with his usual routine & wasn't limited at all from what I've been reading. That's great to hear going forward.

Nope, he's absolutely brutal. One of, if not the worst refs in the league. Shouldn't even still be there, but Stern is an idiot so of course he's one of the longer tenured guys there.
