It truly was a Shawshank redemption

Couldn't see on of these so thought I'd create somewhere to talk about the remainder of the Play-Offs. Who do you think will win? Best player so far? Biggest dissapointment? I think now that the Thunder are without Westbrook, it's very hard seeing anyone seriously challenge Miami. I think the Spurs won't be able to handle their speed and athleticism for an entire series. The Grizzlies would be an interesting match-up and one that could handle them defensively. Their only problem would be their lack of shooting making it harder for them to score on a very good Miami defense, and I'm not sure Gasol and Randolph can win them 4 games. Now if Conley could step it up to another level, that'd make it a much more interesting series. |

Ey!! My dubs into the 2nd round doe! And yeah I agree, been saying since the beginning, continue now, the Miami Heat WILL repeat as champions They just won't lose. I think the Clippers had the star power, depth, and defenders to throw at LeBron, but they never had a chance to make it out of the west. The OKC would have been an interesting match-up, but Miami has something that OKC just can't beat and they look very shaky without westbrook as it is. My dubs are gonna have a tough time making it past San Antonio. Hate to say it, but they're not ready to seriously contend for a title, especially against Miami. Grizzlies have the length to punish the Miami inside with Randolph and Gasol. They have a perimeter stoppers to throw at LeBron and D-Wade. And they have a rising point guard in Mike Conley. Unfortunately..they just don't have the star power or offensive firepower to beat them. So it all falls on San Antonio to put up some kind of resistance. They have a big in Tim Duncan (two when Splitter is healthy) to punish Miami inside. They have perimeter stoppers to put on LeBron and D-Wade. They have an offense spark off the bench with Ginobli. They have a brilliant super star point guard in Tony Parker. The only reason I say they cannot beat Miami is that they can't "flip the switch" and turn it on to another level like Miami can. The east is going to be a breeze for Miami also. Knicks are too reliant on threes and Carmelo, but Miami defense stops threes and LeBron can stop anyone. Pacers are intriguing, but like Memphis, they just lack the offensive firepower to beat Miami. And they are going to sweep the Bulls, so yeah lol. |

It sucks that my Celtics got knocked out in the 1st round, but I expected the Knicks to win anyways. I'm worried about who can take on the Heat in the East. I know the Pacers and Knicks can give them a tough time, but the Heat are better than ever. The Pacers are inconsistent on offense and I don't think the Knicks are mentally tough. |

Yeah I agree I think the Heat will win the East, if the Knicks get passed the Pacers second round, you know Carmelo will be taken away from the offense, so someone else would need to step up in that situation. |

Can't wait for tomorrow night. Hopefully the Spurs don't come out flat after their long layoff. I'm also excited for the Bulls-Heat series... I think the Bulls can give them a run for their money if Deng, Gibson and Robinson are healthy. |

My dubs against your spurs! Gonna be damn exciting indeed! Let's see if the Warriors can get there first win in San Antonio since 1997. Also, I don't see the bulls putting up much a fight against Miami myself. Maybe with D-Rose, but he's been ruled out for the playoffs, so that's that lol. |

If the Bulls had Derrick Rose they'd be a legit threat to the Heat. |

Nate is nasty. The Bulls got their road victory, now just don't blow one at home. |

Bulls win game one, but I expect the Heat to turn up the heat in game two, and take control of the series. |

The warriors game still hurts D: But I was wrong about my dubs. We are legit title contenders. It's unfortunate that Curry has to log so much minutes. You can tell he was tired in the OT's and even fourth quarter. |

Ginboili making shots when needed again. It was a great game though. |
