Today we have another four games on tap (I love weekend playoff basketball ). I expect the Cetics to win, The Cavs to sweep, The sixers to take another close one and the Blazers to even up the series.

Celtics vs Bulls 1:00 eastern (ABC)

Cavs vs Pistons 3:30 eastern (ABC)

Magic vs Sixers 6:30 eastern (TNT)

Blazers vs Rockets 9:00 eastern (TNT)

Thoughts? Predictions? Comments? Who's Watching?

Portland has to win this game or they are in trouble. Im rooting for them to pull it out.

Tyrus swats Marbury's lay-up away to end the first quarter.
The game's pretty close so far.
Almost this ( :arrow: :grouphug: ) close.

Dang, the Bulls are on a tear!
They're on a 16-2 run!

If the Bulls would just get back on defense once in awhile, they would win this game easily. Apparently that's too much to ask of professionals though.
Rose looks like he might be finding a rhythm like he did in game one.

The bulls weren't put together with their defensive abilities in mind.

Good game so far with bulls battling this time. Oh and KG is on the bench sticking out his mug again and yelling and screaming (I love it )

Pierce stepping up!

Re: NBA PLAYOFFS CHAT GAME's THREAD DAY 9!!!!!!!!!!!

This Davis/Miller issue is crazy. I don't think it's a flagrant on Baby and it's certainly not enough to eject miller.

Good reverse of the call

And the celtics are blowing this game

Hinrich stepping up big time, especially on defense. He was invisible for the first three games.

You don't need to be a good defender to run back on defense :lol:

No, but going from your past posts of NBA players being lazy I was saying the bulls knew who they were getting when they put the team together. If you want a team that's going to get back on defense you build it that way. A GM should know that a guy like Noah will get back a lot more than a guy like Thomas.

Exciting game so far.
They're tied with 1:06 left in the game.

Re: NBA PLAYOFFS CHAT GAME's THREAD DAY 9!!!!!!!!!!!

That is either a no call or an offensive foul on that drive by Rose. No way in hell was that a blocking foul on Scal.
