lol Dan Steinberg posted about that on the Bog this morning. I love this:

Let's be real though, the Wizards beat the Bulls that weren't at 100% and did much better than anyone expected of the Bulls, given they lost Rose for the season and traded Deng away. Plus, we got some good players and players that stepped up.

The Bulls were odd though. We lost one game to the Heat with Rose, beat the Heat without Rose, lost to the Heat without Rose and LeBron, and beat them without Rose but with LeBron. Like, what?

However, we did not get swept.

 

[Hardy]

They never are 100% and Rose is always injured. F@ck it dude, if he can't stay healthy half a season don't even say ¨we weren't 100%¨.

 

[scav]

who's this Rose you're talking bout? does he play in the nba? never heard of him

 

[M3J]

They never are 100% and Rose is always injured. F@ck it dude, if he can't stay healthy half a season don't even say ¨we weren't 100%¨.

But it's true. Not our fault Rose plays like an idiot even though his knee can't support that style.

 

[Hardy]

It is your fault, it's your player after all. If you depend on him so much, then get that shit fixed.

 

[M3J]

If he lets us. Apparently he does not want anyone else to usurp his spotlight as one of the best, but I dunno how true that is. If we get Mirotic and Melo though, we should be dominating.

Rose only played ten games this season. He has only played 49 total games over the last two seasons. The Bulls have been to the playoffs twice without him. Trading Luol Deng probably had a bigger impact. Neither are the reason they lost. the Bulls were favored going into the series. The Wizards beat them in every faze of the game, including the Bulls specialties, defense and rebounding.

 

[Hardy]

I know, and that's what I mean. Saying ¨we weren't 100 %, Rose was injured¨ is such a bs excuse. You got outplayed, the other team was better, done.

It's a valid excuse, given the Bulls have done much better with Rose.

lmao D.Antoni resigned

 

[M3J]

Also, there's no doubt the Wizards outplayed the Bulls, especially given that the Bulls were doing pretty decent during the season.

Good, D'Antoni sucks. Maybe the Lakers actually have a chance now.

 

[scav]

dang those playoffs are so intense. game 7 everywhere lol, doesn't look like a first round

 

[M3J]

Well, most of the big teams haven't done well at the beginning. The Thunder, Pacers, and Spurs should have been dominating like the Heat. Sadly, people will deny the Heat don't have talent when they're the only team who swept.

 

[scav]

Well Dallas is playing good bball atm that's why the spurs are struggling. Pacers are just playing bad and it's garbage time for Hibbert. Memphis are doing ok and Durant choked a bit, he didn't play like he used to during the season. But he had a big game tonight.
apparently it might be the first time in nba history that we gonna have 3 game 7s in one day and any of the west series could go to game 7 that's how insane those playoffs are.

 

[M3J]

Says more about the West though, since they're more evenly matched than the East. I miss cable, haven't been able to watch any of the games but the ones on ABC on Sunday.

Spurs- Mavericks in a nutshell

Against the bobcats without their best player, I think that the 8 teams from the west would have swept that. I even think that the wolves and phoenix would have swept that.

3 games 7 tomorrow. It never happened before in NBA history. 3 games 7 the same day.
My preferences: Atlanta - Golden State and Memphis.
