It's that time ladies and gentlemen,
the 2015 NBA playoffs!!!!!!
This is going to be one of the best playoffs in NBA history
Here's my predictions for these playoffs.
It's literally been the hardest playoffs to pick, i don't know if Toronto will beat Atlanta but I know no matter what as long as Cleveland beats Chicago they're making it out of the east. The West is a lot harder to pick mostly every series with San Antonio took me 3 minutes of running scenarios and match ups in my head. They could literally be eliminated in the first round against the Clippers or run and take it all if they make it out of the west, against the in-experienced Cavalries.
Do you know how many times the rockets played zone defense against GSW in the regular season? Do you know how easy it would be for steph to get points in that? Notice how when he's played man to man and occasionally double teamed he desperately needs offense from his bench. Andrew bogut is streaky and Harrison barnes can't drive to the basket with Zeebo and Marc gasol there like are you kidding me? What the hell would they do against dwight howard in man to man? Rely on Klay. With that said I don't think Klay can guide them either, it's 50/50
Also comparing regular season games to playoff games is ridic. If you really think all teams play the same in regular season to playoff you're crazy. Coaches change strats almost completely
Rose can't lead the bulls past the Cavs, and neither can Jimmy. Bulls do not have enough offense that's consistent enough

i don't know or care about past games, and i don't know why he's not getting calls, i just know that in game 2, he was getting hacked and received no calls

this is the third straight game, meaning back against the bucks he didn't shoot a freethrow. What are you telling me, the refs just have a vendetta against rose? Is that it?

another bad nba post from you. nearly everyone though rose had been getting hacked all night, even rose, someone who doesn't really care enough to talk about this kind of stuff had to stop himself from talking about his no foul calls, and coach thibs had to hold his tounge about it so he wouldn't get fined.

i watched the game, i don't recall seeing any plays where rose got fouled in the act of shooting to even go to the line, he just wasn't playing aggressive enough and as a result he didn't go to the line. freethrows aren't just given out. He shot 6-20, he fouled kyrie irving 2 times from behind the 3 point line.
Expecting him to just go to the line because he's rose is a long shot.
Superstars expecting to be bailed out by free throws in general is embarrassing there's earning a trip to the line and there's expecting a trip to the line. Not bashing Rose more just bashing how soft the NBA has gotten
i just find it odd that kyrie had 12 trips to line while rose had none. im not using that as an excuse but that needs to be looked at more often. a former mvp that drives into the lane constantly and doesn't get a chance to shoot a free throw in a game is just embarrassing.
the series is tied at 1-1 and it is going back to chicago. they lost badly in game 2 and now all of sudden they just lost the entire series already. really? how does 1 game determine the rest of the series? the bulls will come back stronger than ever and i think they will win game 3. defensive changes will definitely be made and thibs needs to figure out a smooth offense.
im really interested in the grizz warriors series, i mean grizz probably have the best defensive backcourt, up against the best backcourt in the nba. Its really gunna depend on how frontcourt goes
Devante, as a fake black man, why do you value the NBA so much and not other sports? Also, do you actually consider yourself black, given that you live in Canda?
rose is a good defender, i wouldn't shame him but... There's really no one in this league who can guard kyrie irving, when kyrie is really rockin i would say the best pg defender is cp3 and i don't even think he could do it.

all im gonna say is if this series even goes to 6 games all buls fans should write thank you letters to the celtics, and thank Kelly Olynyk because with KLOVE in the series would have been OVER. Bro, can u fathom how they'd match up?
cleveland would have a field day, but even now they'll still win i guarantee it. i stopped betting on basketball since miami lost me $50 last season, but i would put a lot of money on this here series
rose was off today but he is an underrated defender. ive seen him go head to head against other elite point guards such as cp3, kyrie, and wall. he defends them really well. i just hope he gets enough rest so he can step up his game on friday
that's why pau gasol has to step up and literally destroy the cavs frontcourt in the post. he also needs to box out Tristan Thompson and not let the cavs get second chance opportunities. the bulls also just need to dictate the pace and play basketball they way they do. i would want their defense to get settled and prefer a low scoring game (hopefully in the 80's)

well rose proved this game that he can't really guard kyrie, so once again u got kyrie and lebron. when lebron is attacking like he did today they have to help defense which he then kicks out to one of the 3 point specialists on the team.

I think the Kevin Love injury, as bad as it was was probably good for this series here, you got Tristan Thompson now playing extra minutes and getting you a bunch of offensive rebounds, hogging up the paint he doesn't score you buckets but he sure can get you a bunch of extra chances. With JR Smith back this should be good, they can play him at the 5.
