Haven't they been outscored by like 50 the first two games? If they win one game it'll be incredibly lucky, probably by less than 4 points. You Chicago people need to see the light... your team is completely burned out of this thing...

Tell that to the Miami Heat...who won a championship after being down 2-0 in the finals.
Tell that to the Redsox who were down 3-0 in the ALCS but won 4 straight and eventually the World Series.
True fans dont lose faith untill the clock says 00:00.

I appreciate your optimism, but I definitely don't see you sweeping us the next two. I see us splitting and then we finish it at home.

... Miami's combined loss total for the first two games in the Finals doesn't even match the differential for Game One... I guess you can keep trying to ride the "we believe" train, but most of the time, it's for teams that are actually pretty good to start with. Boston was easily a Top 3 team in the league, so them coming back from a 3-0 deficit against the top seed is much more feasible than a 4th or 5th seed (whichever one they are) in a weak conference against the top seed... Miami had the 5th best record in the NBA as well...
I'm not saying there haven't been huge upsets before and that they don't happen, and I support your whole "don't lose faith" thing, but it just kinda looks pathetic for you to seem so cocky that your team will win, after the way they've played.
Do you care to explain how the defense will transform from giving up the same amount of point total in 3 quarters that their offense got the entire game (as in Game 1) into a powerhouse that doesn't allow 3 20-point scorers per game? How exactly do you plan to not shoot 32% from the field? Will you guys discover a new successful style of play where you win while getting out-rebounded by 20, or is that something that's just going to magically fix itself...

Wow. The Bulls went from worldbeaters in the first round and first half of game three to a pathetic excuse for an NBA team. And your fans....they were dead tonight, some of the worst fans I've seen in a while. I'm shocked. 19 point deficit disappears. I didn't think it was possible...but I'm calling the sweep now.

Yeah that was brutal to watch.
Its not that we have bad fans its just demoralizing to see what has hyappened thus far after sweeping the defending champions. The Bulls consistantly sold out games even before making the playoff's three years running...
And amyone who says a team that makes the playoff's isnt pretty good is just plain stupid you dont make the playoffs because you're a bad team... the fact of the matter is the Pistons are better than the Bulls, and have 2 Championship runs more of experiance compared to a lineup that consisted mostly of players who have never seen the second round of the playoffs.

I'm not saying the Bulls are bad. I was saying they suddenly turned into a pathetic looking team against Detroit. It's obvious they have talent.

I think he's talking to me, because I said they were a decent team in a sucky conference...
Anywho, it's good that you've finally woken up and realized what you're up against, and hopefully you've come to the realization that you will not win the next 4 games...

Yeah I wasn't talking to you DB. It was aimed at Buff's "I guess you can keep trying to ride the "we believe" train, but most of the time, it's for teams that are actually pretty good to start with." comment...
I'd be content if we atleast made the Pistons work for the series, 2 of the next four would be ideal.

Anyone catch the golden state game- the warriors dominated the whole thing but still it was entertaining to watch. Baron was off the charts and when he posterized AK-47, i jumped out of my bed and nearly yelled 'oh shit!'
that dunk could be dunk of the year and if u havent seen it, u need to!

dammit, the Warriors are down 3-1. I think they can pull a win or two but winning the series looks impossible. It's sad too because this is the only team i enjoy watching right now but hell, they had an amazing run and revived basketball in the Bay Area.

Looks like Golden State ran out of magic.
They beat Dallas, which is all I wanted.

Wow, didn't realize Golden State was full of cry-baby thugs... looked pretty pathetic out there, which is why I'm glad I don't watch Thugball any more...

Cleveland takes 3-1 lead on the Nets.
Is it just me, or does it seem to you guys that if Shaq or Yao was a Cav, the Cavaliers would be scary good?

Shaq or Yao makes their teams scary good instantly becasue those are the two dominating centers in the league.

So apparently Robert Horry isn't Mr. Respected Elder Statesman of the NBA...
I didn't know you could bodycheck in basketball.

Thugball at its finest... Nash looked like he flopped a little bit too though (but obviously it was a blatant flagrant foul... just kinda thought he exaggerated a bit, even though none was needed)

Obviously he flopped.
But that hit was harder than anything the Flyers did this year. No lie.
