Could potentially go down as one of the best in recent memory. Has it ever been a playoffs where both #1 seeds could potentially be eliminated in the first round? Nobody gave Atlanta and Dallas a chance, but they have played those #1 seeds toe to toe. You can't even tell whose the #1 seed when watching the games. OKC is catching hell from Memphis. Houston is getting the hell beat of them by Portland. Every higher seed except Miami could lose their series. I'm not saying it will happen, but that's pretty freaking amazing.

Ever since Atlanta played Indiana in their last regular season meeting, I knew that they'd cause trouble for the Pacers. They blew them out then in Indy and will close them in the next game in the ATL.

We all knew what the Bulls weaknesses were. I'm surprised they haven't defended well in this series. But, I'm actually not surprised by anything else that has happened. With the way the roster is constructed, I'm not surprised when they win or lose.

Seems like they get tired at the end. They had Washington down by at least ten in the second half of the first two games but blew it at the end.

Man, the city is crunk. I am not a basketball fan but I hope they can make it to the East Conf finals.

They have a great chance if they can finish the Bulls off and get pass the Hawks in the second round. They match up well with the Heat

Unless the Wizards have LBJ's twin out there, I don't see how they matchup well with Miami.

When comparing them to other teams in the East, yes I do. Lebron is going to get his. That Nene and Gortat combo will put in work on Miami's big men and it appears that Wall and Beal are growing up. I'm not saying they'd beat the Heat but they wouldn't be a pushover.
 
My son agrees with you about the matchups.....watching the game tonight I think you have a point.

Yeah he may be on the firing block if they bow out. Although he just signed a new extension last year I believe.

They have a decision to make. I like Westbrook but I think they need to make a deal with somebody. Rondo would be a better fit for a guy like KD. They need to ship Westbrook out. They also need some attitude on that team. Toughness. Getting a good spot up shooter when Durant gets doubled. Westbrook or Jackson will not be there next year. They need to make some roster changes for sure though. Getting a different coach may help as well.

I don't like Rondo for Westbrook. Who scores besides Durant in that scenario?

Jackson is going to get paid next year! He's capable of being a starter in this league if not with OKC
 
People blaming durant for this series is unbelievable... He is playing at an elite level but I do not think his coach is elite. Scott Romo can win, just not win the big ones. If you are looking for a scorer, although my favorite celt, Rondo is not the guy lol. I want to see what happens with this clippers situation. What if the clipper players can be free agents if Sterling refuses to sell? Cp3+kd smh lol lawd. Russ is good, I swear he is but he needs his own team IMO. Damian, Chris, he'll even somebody like t Ty Lawson would do but Rondo is the best bet because I'm sure he sees that our Celtics don't have it together right now and he is not crazy about shooting like Russ is. He is a great facilitator. The big problem is the coach.

Somewhere LeBron is reading that while playing a small violin.

Lamb will have to develop or they pick up a shooter. For some reason Westbrook and KD is not working properly in the playoffs. Maybe it is Scott Brooks. I don't know. OKC is the team I would like to see win it all. But something is wrong with that team. Memphis does give them fits with matchups. But it just seems like they are missing something. I like Rondo because he would defer. Maybe you can do a sign and trade with Jackson to Boston for Rondo. May have to add something else in the deal. Then move Westbrook to the shooting guard. Rondo would control the rock vs Westbrook. Or they need to let Jackson start and move Westbrook to the 2 guard like D Wade did in Miami.
