Masud I got your playoff avatar ready. Remember when you bet that The Knicks would have homecourt advantage in the upcoming playoffs? Remember?

Hey motherfucker, do I need to ban your ass for spoilers just days before the playoffs or are you gonna watch your mouth from now on?

Do their hundreds really smell like maple syrup? I really want that to be true.
Pacers in 5
Heat in 4
Raptors in 5
Bobcats in 6
Spurs in 4
Thunder in 5
Clippers in 6
Blazers in 7
How can both the Heat and Bobcats win?
The cHeat is that good.
Carmelo, half-jokingly asked why he was wearing a red hat: "Red is my favorite color."
Melo on his future: "I want to come back. I want to come back. But I also want to win."

I love seeing All-NBA ballots with 5 players from 48, 44, 43, 40, and 38 win teams on it, but zero players from 62, 54, 50 and 49 win teams.
Does that mean you're down?
Oh I'm down. Which is where your team is going.
Down.
To the losing place.
That's part of why I feel so good about this matchup. I'll let you in on a secret: All those games were on the second night of a back to back for us. Back to backs killed us all season long.
They don't have those in the playoffs.
Not secret: that first Nets win was pre-Rudy Gay trade, so it doesn't count.
Also not secret, the combined mileage on your team dates back to 4004 BC. Every game is like a back to back for them.
Do their hundreds really smell like maple syrup? I really want that to be true.
The answer is that everyone swears that they do, but the Bank of Canada says they don't add any scent to it:

Also not secret, the combined mileage on your team dates back to 4004 BC. Every game is like a back to back for them.So the Nets players literally roamed with dinosaurs?
Oh I'm down. Which is where your team is going.So if Nets win the series, I change your avatar until opening tip next season. If Raps win the series, same in reverse.
Down.
To the losing place.
Deal?
What the hell am I looking at?DPOTY.
So the Nets players literally roamed with dinosaurs?Nets made dinosaurs go extinct. Soon they will do it again.
and Kawhi's hands are always worth posting

Why bring the teams into this? Why not say that you're pissed that LMA isn't on any of the All NBA teams?
Anthony Bennett finishing his year the same way it began, swimming in food.
Or the better point being that apparently John Wall is better than Tony Parker. Or that Dirk Nowitzki isn't playing at an All-NBA level this year. Or that Marc Gasol. Or Tim Duncan.Berger's All-NBA ballots

I don't even need to bring LMA into this, but yes, him being left off for Paul George or picked over no-defense-ass-playing-on-a-shitty-40-win-team Kevin Love?
Plenty of things that is wrong with that list before I even get to LMA.

Carmelo, half-jokingly asked why he was wearing a red hat: "Red is my favorite color."If the Bulls could somehow manage to keep Taj, that would be great.
Melo on his future: "I want to come back. I want to come back. But I also want to win."
If the Bulls could somehow manage to keep Taj, that would be great.Your only path to doing it is a sign and trade, right?
I don't suppose they'd consider trading Rose?
Nets made dinosaurs go extinct. Soon they will do it again.
No, that was catastrophic climate change caused by asteroid impact.
Nets just kind of hang there and get dunked on.
Man, I know the Bulls deserve all the credit in the world for being such a try hard, watch my hustle, fuck your talent ball club these last two years but people have the blinders on in respect to them. Let's not pretend that we're talking about a team that took Miami to 7 with pure heart and hustle last year or something. We're talking about a club that beat a bad Nets team in 7 games before stealing 1 from Miami and taking 4 straight L's in the row after that.
We've beat them 4-2 over the last two seasons but they are beating us in 5? When half the season we were missing a combination of Beal or Nene while making Eric Maynor, Vesely, and Seraphin a core part of our bench?
You know what I'm done talking

Sign and trade since Melo would want max contract. I don't think anyone wants Rose and his contract with his two injuries in two years.

- Nets had 49 wins last year, they weren't "bad".
- Record over the last 2 seasons means nothing. Bulls have the (I believe) best record vs. the Heat in the regular season since the Big 3 came together, means jack shit in the playoffs.
- Nene is still on a minutes limit. Jimmy Butler can handle Brad Beal.
- Randy Wittman is your coach.
Good luck in the series, I still think Bulls in 6.

I agreed to this like 50 posts ago. What, do I need to sign a contract with KG's liquid amphetamines or something?
Vegas has Raps -3.5 btw. Good luck, underdog.
I want to sweep the fucking Wizards. I still remember them beating the Bulls in the playoffs who were without Deng and Eddie Curry. Prime Arenas was pretty good that series.

The odds are that good? Maybe I should place some real money bets.

lol, we're both stuck with our injury prone players.Going forward I think that Lopez will be best suited as our 6th man, giving us scoring off the bench and occasionally joining the starters against teams like the Pacers. He would solve our problems against those huge defenders. He won't have to log as many minutes that way and Plumlee fits the Kidd system better.
On the other hand, if we had Rose playing alongside Deron, with Livingston off the bench, I think Kidd might cream himself.
You're not getting Rose, Forever. The whole point in getting Melo would be to give the Bulls that second scorer to supplement Rose. Even then, if you look at the Heat model, they are still short a third scorer really. But I think the Bulls aren't winning any championships with this current group and you need to take chances.lol, we're both stuck with our injury prone players.Going forward I think that Lopez will be best suited as our 6th man, giving us scoring off the bench and occasionally joining the starters against teams like the Pacers.

Good point. This year, Hinrich, Noah, and Gibson are relatively healthy going into the playoffs. Augustin isn't the ball hog or defensive liability that Nate was.
Bulls are definitely a better team heading into these playoffs than last year. Whittman is Carlesimo tier and will be destroyed by Thibs. Bulls in 5.
West:
San Antonio Spurs vs Dallas Mavericks: Spurs hurtling towards their Conference Finals destiny against...
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies: ...OKC. I expect the Grizz to play them tough though.
Los Angeles Clippers vs Golden State Warriors: This should be a fun, high scoring series, but LAC has the star power to take this one pretty quick.
Houston Rockets vs Portland Trail Blazers: This one's a close call, but I think the Rox are more built for the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised either way though.
East:
Indiana Pacers vs Atlanta Hawks: Indy's not what they were, but neither are the Hawks. ATL will be lucky to win two games.
Miami Heat vs Charlotte Bobcats: Charlotte's a tough out, but we know Lebron's no first round knockout.
Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards: Wiz will be a tough matchup because Wall can run all over their backcourt, but Noah's hitting that Dwight Howard level. Bulls get this one.
Toronto Raptors vs Brooklyn Nets:
