I'm so sick of NBA (More specifically ESPN) announcers. The Indiana vs Atlanta game was especially terrible. Not trying to sound sexist, because I'm not, but I don't want to listen to a masculine chick announce NBA games. Eff that.
The Pacers are in trouble. They look listless.
I think the Clippers will win the series against the Warriors. Blake Griffin wont be in foul trouble like he was in Game 1 for every game in the series.
The Nets are a bunch of dinosaurs, but their experience is what beat the Raptors and what will help them go to the next round.
Thunder look good. KD and Westbrook, enough said.

And Miami pulling away in the 4th. It is kind of amazing how little the first three quarters matter in the NBA.
On one hand I see where Brooklyn is a concern for you, on the other Chicago has had the best win % vs Lebron Miami and it's meant jack squat come playoffs. I'll watch my undermanned bulls play solid D till they get bounced, otherwise wake me up for Miami vs okc or San Antonio
I would like to miss Brooklyn if possible, but I don't think they can win a 7 game series with Miami. They will give the Heat a good run though. This Miami team has a lot more flaws than the previous two year's teams did. They still don't have a set rotation as no one on the bench has stepped up. Allen and Battier look every bit their age, Cole has struggled shooting, Beasley and Lewis are inconsistent and you have to hide them on D. There's only so much LeBron can cover up, but with the mess that is Indiana right now, I can't see anyone in the East beating them. The Bulls could make them work but they just can't score enough.
I think the Spurs would beat them if they both get to the Finals again, but I think Miami would handle OKC.
Shaq and Charles having a Bulls bashing session. Hopefully the Bulls will be serving them some crow to eat.
Had a 13 point lead in this game. Looks like blackhawk playoff troubles have been caught by the Bulls.
You have to overcome it, but they completely unraveled after the bad no-call on Hinrich's layup in the 3rd. 11 point lead at that point. The swing of the play and tech, then just gave up the lead so fast from their.
Until the team gets shooters who can get their own shot they're going to struggle. I might go insane if they can get Napier with one of their picks and take a different guard because of his size. Heck, a player like Napier is exactly what they need. Even with Rose and Deng it would have been an issue, without them it's a huge obvious issue.
They have such a prototype player they want defensively…and I'm afraid the will continue to follow that to a fault. I love Butler but they don't need another Butler or Snell type…we need even a poor man's version of Steph Curry. Just sucks year after year watching this team that go through stretches where they can't score.
