Damn that's huge. Fortunately for the bulls they won the first two, but if I'm a Celtics fan I'm feeling pretty optimistic right now.

One dribble from half court and...dunk

Exactly......fucking kill to know what that is like to do. How many people on Earth can do that?

 

[KingSpeed]

Sucks about Rondo. He was playing so well.

 

[KingSpeed]

If he starts leading his team deep into the playoffs I'll become a believer..right now I'm not sure he's more than just a freak. LeBron is on a different level

i said after LeBron retires

 

[Sarni]

Chicago being absolutely destroyed so far.

 

[PDXFonz]

Fun watching the fans come out for the first playoff appearance in a while. You can tell these Jazz fans are glad to have playoff basketball back in Utah.

 

[KingSpeed]

Holy shit. Hayward had 21 in first quarter!

Holy shit. Hayward had 21 in first quarter!

7-8 3-3 from downtown 4-5 from the line

He's definitely getting max money this summer, the question is which team will he choose? Utah seems to be on the come up, so I'd bet he stays there.

Hahaha, crawchuck and fatass felton coming off your bench. What could go wrong?

Utah crowd chanting Beat LA

Utah fans are hyped right now. I'm impressed. I keep catching myself on borderline utah fandom, but then i remember its just because i hate the Clippers so much.

 

[KingSpeed]

Damn. Westbrook chokes but Houston doesn't make him pay.

 

[KingSpeed]

CP3 and Iso Joe playing like All Stars

 

[MickZagger]

I wanna trade for Joe Ingles.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I can't remember who I debated with a couple of years ago about Derrick Favors.....but this guy does not impress me at all.

 

[H.C.]

I thought he's playing through an injury, but yeah he's never really impressed me either. best thing about him is healthy I'm told he's a good defender.

 

[SIeepwalker]

The very definition of overrated. Drive you to the dance, then stand by the wall playing Magic The Gathering instead of dancing with you.

Can't blame em, MtG is way more fun

Was it @BonesJones? He's always bringing up Favors. I keep bringing up the fact that Derrick Favors is always injured.

 

[handiman]

I'm not sure the comparison is perfect, but Favors reminds me of a Mark Bryant type player. Solid, plays a role, slightly above journeyman level, worth keeping around but easily replaceable. He's always had a bit too much hype around his name from being a high draft pick.

Sometimes Playoff Refs get TOOOOOO involved

I'm hardly ever bringing him up I don't know what you're talking about haha
