Hardwood

I had the Wizards in 6, but even that seems optimistic, at this point.   

Anyone else watching the Bulls right now?

headbutt.gif is coming sometime tonight

I know you've watching the Brookyln-Toronto game but come over now, it's over.

Pacers game is pretty good right now.

Washington is so much better than us in so many ways.

Butler missing that layup, just now, was pretty much the perfect way for this to end, should it in fact be over. Says it all.

i still old out an irrational hope that vogel benches hibbert the entire game on thursday, pacers go small and ride cope/watson/george/hill/stephenson outside shooting to an un-pacerslike 120+ offensive explosion. repeat for game 7, move on to the wizards and return to smashmouth pacers basketball.

Agreed, the lack of scoring should be how it ends. What disgusted me was the lack of hustle at the end. How many offensive rebounds did Washington get in the 4th quarter? Death by back-tap.

All these upsets & road wins were fun at first, but we're setting up for some pretty boring later rounds, particularly in the east. It's looking like Miami vs. the 5/6/8 seeds. Heat vs. Wizards conference finals? zzz

If the Rockets, Warriors, Thunder, and Spurs all exit the first round, I will have been robbed of my most anticipated NBA playoffs ever. Of those four, only the Spurs look like they can survive.

At this point Miami has the east locked up, and whoever they face in the west will be decimated by a few long series. Miami over Clippers for a three-peat? Ugh.

Hope I'm as wrong about all that as I usually am.

Oh, man. Miami wins the Finals, for sure. I thought it would at least pretend-competitive, going into the playoffs, but I now expect them to lay waste to any and all comers. Gonna be like that 2009 shit all over again.

gonna watch the pacers and drink (possibly heavily) this evening. join me, brothers!

Just take deep breaths, CoE.

all these game 7's on saturday, hooooo boy

Not to mention, three game sixes tonight!

If the Nets, Mavericks and Houston all win tonight, we'd have three more game sevens on Sunday.    

I watched like 60 Bulls games this year plus 5 playoff games.

As a result, I know very little besides the obvious about most of the teams that are still alive. Houston seemed like a good team to root for -- solid bros, no real bandwagon to speak of -- but alas.

I'm not excited about rooting for the Pacers but I want to believe that the regular season isn't totally meaningless.

Why does the basketball thread have more posts this offseason than the hockey one? I've watched two basketball games today and it is painfully boring. This sport sucks.

Switching back and forth between this Toronto-Brooklyn game and the Hawks.  Toews just scored, and it's a three point game with like 22 seconds to go.  I can barely handle this shit.

Houston is definitely a fun team to watch, and I love their analytic approach, but a first round exit is what I deserve for rooting for Dwight Howard.

Oops. But I still know more about basketball than Jon Barry.

screw predictions, i'm just hoping for something like 28 games out of round 2.
