Yeah... I'm not gonna say anything about that.

I see no reason for the Suns to lose more than one more game to Portland. They're garbage.

the cavs better start playing some defense in a hurry. they gave up way too many easy layups and dunks to chicago

Oh, so that's how you get the disenchanted Celtics fans back on board fully. The Heat were awful, but the Celtics haven't played a game that dominantly since November.

Thunder!!!

*guitar strumming*

Thunder!!

yeah that was more like it cavs

Good night, travel well sweet German prince

Even though I picked the Celtics to win in a quick series over the Heat, I really liked how intensely they played. That's something that had been missing the last three months or so. If they can continue to play that way (and they'll have to) I like their chances against the Cavs.

Cavs over Celtics in 7
Orlando over Atlanta in 4/Milwaukee in 4

Lakers over Jazz in 7
Spurs over Suns in 6

This, although Atlanta may go to 5.

If the Hawks win, I'll be 7-1 in the first round, with the Nuggets being my only downfall.

My adjusted 2nd round pick:
Lakers over the Jazz in 6

And then Suns over Lakers in 7 for the next round.

The Black Mamba is the deadliest creature known to man

Australian snakes would whup the Black Mamba's ass. The Deer need to trade Bogut to the Clippers asap so we can watch this happen.

Good game Mo Williams!

Not looking too good. And the Cavs got lucky in game 1. If they keep playing like this they will lose the next two in Boston for sure.

Yeah, the Celtics for some reason just stopped playing in Game 1 like they thought they had a massive. It's kind of hard to believe, but they should really be up 2-0 right now. Oh well, they did what they needed to do overall and that was win one in Cleveland.

And there were the Cavs. They brought their A-game tonight. The Celtics seemed like they didn't even try and play defense after the first half of the first quarter.
