Wonder if it will be the rematch 20 years in the making in the NBA finals????
Bulls vs Lakers?????

[hankamania83]

Im a huge Nba fan, and im a huge Lakers fan. Its tough for me to say whos gana make it in the east, I predicted a finals rematch with the Celtics, but they aint looking so hot sense that trade. Bulls playing hard and good but I just dont think they can match up with Celtics or Heat in a 7 game series. Im gana stick with my prediction Lakers vs Celtics and I say Lakers in 6.....go Lake Show Babayyyyy

Lots of people is comparing the Bulls to that of the 90s......
I am a Bulls fan, my brother like the Lakers.... then my nephew likes Miami.......Hoping for the Bulls myself if it the Lakers in the west hope history repeats itself like it did 1991..... so really don't care who comes from the west....

[hankamania83]

I would compair the Bulls more to the 09 & 10 Cavs, I dont see any resemblance to the Bulls dynasty. I dont hate them or nothing I just think their lack of depth will show in the playoffs.
But I cant wait till the playoffs start its ganna be the best playoffs of alltime, all these top teams are so equally matched. Their will be some classics mark my words.

Yeah, but remember they have just added Boozer to the mix so it takes a bit for them to gel and they have done that very well extremely fast. I really think Rose should be MVP he has been ridiculous this year.

Oklahoma should get much better too.

I think Dallas has a shot in the West.

[thejman93]

Sadly I'm a Sixxers fan; they're going to the playoffs but only to be chrushed by Boston/Miami/Chicago.

I'm a cavs fan. The only thing we got going is two top ten picks. Hopefully we end up with J. Sully and Jimmer. A man can dream...

They have no chance in hell.

[thejman93]

They have no chance in hell.

If they can defend the perimiter they might have a chance vs. Miami; they've played the C's tight 3 times this year and beat them once so you never know.

[HCollins-TNA1]

I'm ready for Bulls and Spurs in the finals!!!!!
But will take the Lakers too so it can be a repeat of 1991 but with Phil on the opposite side!!!!!

[IPEEINTHESHOWER]

Yeah, its kind of strange. Usually I'm a fan of Ohio sports teams but after years and years of disappointment from the Indians and Browns I don't have any more love to give to the city of Cleveland. It's hard being a Cleveland fan but like we always say "there's always next year."

[thejman93]

but like we always say "there's always next year."

That's our motto in Philly too...

[jwt15]

The Knicks cant win because Melo cant play Defense. Lakers/Bulls in te finals or Thunder/Bulls

[hankamania83]

Im still sayin Lakers ~ Celtics in the finals but this 2nd round is going to be awesome to watch.

[HCollins-TNA1]

Looking good for my Bulls as long as they fall to the Hawks like almost always..... The past few years they either struggled or lost to Atlanta when they play them in the playoffs....

[KJ PUNK]

Round 2 baby!!!

I'm rooting for whichever team comes out of that series. It's nice to see young teams succeed during the playoffs; that gives me hope for my 6ers next year.

[WWTNA Mark]

Heat 3

Boston 1

Lets go Heat!!!

Yeah it was! I've now got two "Growl Towels" that they give at the playoff games, one white and one gold. Hopefully I'll end up getting a baby blue one and a Beale St Blue one. ;) I didn't get home until 4 and it was well worth it!

So much for 20 years in the making..... But my Bulls is still alive and my favorites.....

[HCollins-TNA1]

Why am I so happy oh yeah..... My Bulls beating Miami last night.....

[Moe21]

Why am I so happy oh yeah..... My Bulls beating Miami last night.....

All I could say last night was Da Bulls!!! I hope they sweep the heat and Rose plays like he did last night through the series and the finals!!

[chunkkynutzzz]

I'm calling it THUNDER VS BULLS IN THE FINALS...BULLS ALL THE WAY TO THE SHIP...(knicks are my team but what can ya do!)

[North Vegas Benny]

I'm calling it THUNDER VS BULLS IN THE FINALS...BULLS ALL THE WAY TO THE SHIP...(knicks are my team but what can ya do!)

Thunder have to beat Dallas first and the way they handled the 2x reigning champs I don't see that happening. But I'm also saying Bulls all the way.

I'm sorta thinking Bulls and Mavericks myself!!!!!

[hankamania83]

i have never been so far off on all my NBA predictions in my life....dont mean to toot my own horn but, from 2000-2006 i picked at least one team that made it to the finals at the begining of each season, in 07 i was wrong with the Cavs and the Spurs going, but i was right with 08,09,10...but i was wrong this year....and it seems every other side prediction ive had is way off...i want Dallas to win it all now, but i dont care who wins as long as it isnt the HEAT

Yeah I was thinking myself it was going be the 20 year rematch of Lakers/Bulls..... But was wrong.....
Right now I'm siding with Bulls/Mavericks ..... But the past few years been to predictable in the NBA, until last year and this year after all the trades and etc... things changed big time....

[HCollins-TNA1]

Now the Bulls is out and Oklahoma lost the other night....

It Dallas and Miami..... Would pull for the Heat, but also like Dallas..... So I just going enjoy the series when it starts....

[el gabo]

Is this a great NBA Finals or what?!

[el gabo]

Sediously. No one is watching this series? One of the best finals I have seen.

[North Vegas Benny]

I watched it and yes this is an exciting finals !!!!

[HCollins-TNA1]

I'm really don't care who wins... Would like to see Dallas finally do it.... But would like to see the Miami with the pay off of having James, Wade and Bosh......
More then likely pulling for Dallas.....

[Moe21]

Im definitly pulling for the Mavs!! Lebron can go straight to hell! If he wasnt playing for the Heat then I wouldnt care who won but he does so go Mavs!!!

[WWTNA Mark]

Is it me or does Lebron seem to not have his head in the game? Just curious because on Thrusday's game, he wasn't playing as himself tbh.

[el gabo]

The guy gets too much heat (no pun intended) for his game. Game 5 he got a fucking triple double, and not a 10 turnovers triple-double and still gets the blame for losing. I get he's not dominating as usual but, the Mavs defense is not easy. He's opened up the court for others to play.

I also don't get the hate man. You choose to work where it is best for you. Loyalty can get you only so far. He wants a ring. Poor planning by the Cavs. A la TNA I would say. You should always have a back-up plan. So I don't blame Lebron for the Cavs fuck up.

That said he's not playing Lebron basketball. He's not being aggressive and driving to the basket as he normally does. But, he has still made up for that in ass. and rebs.

Mavs in 7. Dirk deserves it more than Lebron and Lebron will more than likely have his turn in the near future. Can't wait to see my countryman JJ Barea with a ring too.

I think Kidd deserves it more than anybody out there !!!! He has played great basketball his whole career (17 years) and has played more playoff games than anybody in the league but has no rings.

Yup. 38 years old and still killing the competition. Congrats to him and the Mavs.
