Memphis surprised this year?
I think that almost everyone was expecting it from them.. girt, great defense, bullying and pounding the ball on the paint
The Clippers started hot, but they cooled down on the last quart of the season

Boston is too banged up to win the series, they are already without Rondo and Garnett isn't healthy.
Houston has no chance, but it should be fun to watch Harden shooting the lights out in one game

Chicago Bulls Derrick Rose Lawsuit

CHICAGO – A 25 year old Peoria Illinois man filed a lawsuit Thursday against Chicago Bulls Superstar Derrick Rose. Matthew Thompson, a self-described long-time Bulls fan, and electrician claims Rose missing the entire 2012-2013 NBA regular season has caused him to have mental breakdowns and emotional distress, which ultimately led to obesity issues.

The former MVP is still recovering from an ACL surgery which has caused him to miss the entire season, his status for the playoffs as of Thursday is still unknown.

According to reports, Thompson claims Rose displayed negligent behavior by refusing to return to the court, despite having been cleared by team doctors. He blames his health issues on the MVP’s refusal to return.

No word if Peoria County Officials will take this lawsuit seriously

:lmao

The regular season record isn't always a good indicator for of how a playoff series will develop.
Yes, the Clippers beat Memphis 3-1.. but 2 of the wins were early in the season when the Clippers were on a tear and before the Gay trade. Memphis improved the defense and the attack after the thread. After that they played 2 times, a 11 point win for Memphis and a close 4 point win for the Clippers.
That's why I think Memphis is the better team. They are more experienced, they have an old school game and a great defense. I think that the Clippers will need to relly on their bench(that's clearly superior) to win this one

am I alone here?
everything is going as expected.. I'mean, almost everything
I wasn't expecting the GSW to be ahead of Denver..

and the lakers game last night... the worst backcourt in the story of the playoffs
and MWP will be out for the next game too, a proper ending for this terrible season

I wonder if they're still thankful they hang on to the playoffs after that terrible performance at home. Oh well, good for the Spurs, let them end it tomorrow and let's look forward onto the next round. I don't really care if they face either the Warriors or the Nuggets, both teams are almost evenly matched up what with the great Game 3 in Golden State.

And what's with the triple OT in Chicago. I didn't watch the whole game but seeing the highlights, the Nets were up as high as 9 in the last 2 minutes of the game so props to the Bulls. And I hate to say this but Robinson played great in the last quarter of the game. Also expecting the Bulls will wrap this series up next game but you never know if the Nets will play like they did in the first game.

And I forgot to comment...
The Bulls got an awesome victory yesterday.. the team is depleted and they fought their hearts off against a more talented team in a game 7 road game.
