I only missed the Nuggets/Warriors myself.
Western Conference:
1) OKC Thunder vs. 5) Memphis Grizzlies
2) SA Spurs vs. 6) GS Warriors
Eastern Conference:
1) Miami Heat vs. 5) Chicago Bulls
2) NY Knicks vs. 3) Indiana Pacers
If Memphis beats OKC, the Spurs are going to dread it. The Grizz knocked out the Spurs in the first round a couple seasons ago and I still think they can do it. They're too tough on the inside for almost any team and will beat you up. This year the Spurs have better outside shooting and no Rudy Gay on the Grizz but they can definitely take on any team in a series.

I've never seen the bulls run some of these offensive sets and curls. Awesome stuff.
It's tough getting good shots against miami, but they're getting them. Just gotta cut down on the turnovers trying to thread the needle.
Yes, it's also odd when Noah handles the ball into the lane.. so out of control..:biggrin:
I don't know how much non-bulls fans can appreciate this, but this is some of the best coaching in the history of the game (maybe an exaggeration )
The heat are not fun to watch. I'm sur ethey're rusty, but they're a bunch of pieces and parts. This team wins because of Lebron, point blank, they wouldn't be in the playoffs. The dude made a point to not score in the first half, trying to get his team involved.
This game is so close and the Bulls are playing with scrubs!
Just maybe.
Heat are missing wiiiiiiiiiide open threes (rust) and the officiating is, uhm lets call it uneven. You know the biggest difference between Jimmy Butler and Lebron? Butler attacks the basket more and is unable to be defended without fouling when doing so. Or at least the FT disparity between the two players will have you believe.
It isn't often you see a home team (always gets the calls) come up short in the FT dept when they attack like the Heat are. The Bulls are deluding themselves if they think they will get a better shake than tonight.
If they don't win this they get swept.
Only Lebron is fun to watch, and he is fun to watch on any team.
i'm not a bulls fan, but it is. the bulls are playing with absolute scrubs, no other way to put it. 3rd string PG starting/etc.
