Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Someone explain to me how that last foul on Lebron wasn't a foul? Did Dunleavy flop?

He flopped but there was contact. I'm not really mad that it was called a foul, but the other 90% of the time that it's not called would need to be called as well.. LeBron didn't lower and ram into him, his shoulder grazed against him. I think it can be justified as a foul, but they don't usually call it on those plays so it's odd that they decided to in the 4th quarter of a playoff game. I'm cool with it being a foul.

The Noah no call was worse that that. That's the call I didn't agree with.

And I didn't really agree with the last second slide in when LeBron hurt his ankle as a charge. I might need to see the replay again on that one but it looked as if he was definitely late even though he did get a chance to "set".

The last 4 teams of the NBA playoffs could be Cleveland, Washington, LA Clippers, and Memphis. Following the NBA for 20+ years I don't ever think it's been that bad.

You mean this competitive and even balanced? Since I've been old enough to really understand the game I don't think I've seen the league this competitively deep.

Yes, he did flop, because he acted like he got hit in the mouth when he clearly didn't....but there was contact by LeBron in the body....that's what drew the whistle

I'm trying to figure out the contact by Noah wasn't a foul....

Bulls just aren't good enough offensively to win this series. Today showed that. They can't beat a Cleveland team without Kevin Love, an ineffective Kyrie Irving, gimpy LeBron James and JR Smith at home, they are done. I think Cleveland wins the next 2, but it may go 7.

Both teams have struggled offensively this series, its no where near over, would of been over we we left down 3-1. Im not ready to call this series done after this game.

three of those teams won 50 plus games this year, and Washington won 46.........why exactly would that be a bad thing?

let me guess you are one of those that wants the 90's back. Sans Injuries it's been pretty good.

Uhhh what 1 of those teams has the best player on the planet, another the best Point Guard, one of the best Power Forwards and a defensive behemoth, another has two absolute post up bullies and arguably the best perimeter defender in the league, and lastly one of the best young back courts and a guy who always hits the big shots. Tell me how is that bad.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

I'm talking about established dynasys in the NBA boys. The play has been very good and the series are hella competitive.

You would have a broken Cleveland team, who most likely are on their way to becoming a dynasty, a Washington with old Man Pierce who plays like he's that crafty 40 year old guy at the Y then you're not sure what he's doing but he somehow gets it done (without Wall btw), an LA Clippers team that has a few question marks around it, and a Memphis team that everyone outside the diehards say "who".....

If my scenario happened that way. There's just no established organizational star power there.

How about if I just point to total number of NBA final experiences among the 4 in the last 20+ years = 1?

What kind of sweatshirt is LeBron wearing on post game interview? Looks sick
