2011 NBA Playoffs Thread

[Simon]

I figured since the playoffs start this weekend, that we should have a playoff thread.

Indiana @ Chicago, 76ers @ Miami (3:30PM EST ABC), Atlanta @ Orlando tomorrow.

Rest of the Game 1's are Sunday.

New York @ Boston is Sunday @ 7PM EST - TNT.

Portland @ Dallas are tomorrow as well at 9:30PM EST.

Looking forward to the playoffs - praying that Chicago, Boston, Orlando, Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, Indiana, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Dallas, Denver, Oklahoma City, Portland, New Orleans, or Memphis can pull it out.

I would like just one first round upset, since going to the 7 games they happen so rarely

Yea, the 7 vs 2 series in the east would be nice.

For the next week or so, we are all 76er fans.

In my head, I am rooting for the Bulls because they have a chance to beat the Heat, but in my heart, I really want to see Indy beat the Bulls.

Bulls playing like they thought they had a walk through today.

Exactly how many Js does Hansborough have to hit before boozer Boozer will step up on D? Just incredibly dumb.

 

[JSS2306]

Hansborough has a great looking shot. Really technically sound.

Psycho T equal to or greater than Jordan right now?

TYLER HANSBROUGH

impressive how pacers still manage to hold on to that lead...

Boozer is hot garbage. Getting wetted on and not changing your defensive approach. Getting ripped, banged on and committing a stupid And 1. I wish Boozer wasn't on the Bulls because I'm pulling for them.

This is a great game btw, I love the intensity of the playoffs (looks back fondly....sigh)...

Ya Boozer's defense is pretty awful. Hansborough is a good player but one of the worst 1v1 players in the league. He went around Boozer like he was standing still. Remember last season, Gasol absolutely murdered him in the Lakers vs. Jazz series. Its the playoffs, wake up Boozer.

Derrick Rose is kind of good.
