    Portland looks like a great team that lacks a true veteran leader at the point guard spot. I don't even know if I'd refer to Steve Blake as a point guard, and I kind of feel the same way about Jerryd Bayless. They desperately need some leadership at that position. I'd deal Aldridge for a PG if the opportunity hit... he's got all the talent in the world but man is he soft. I suppose that will be disguised by Greg Oden if he ever develops into the player that he has the potential to be, but even on that note... I know they'd flip the musical chairs and go for Durant instead if a time machine hit eBay at a decent bid.

    They definitely aren't playoff ready, though. Talented team that lacks guidance and leadership. This is a pretty embarrassing series for them, IMO. Down 3-1 to Houston with home court? Ouch. Portland is without question the superior team in terms of talent. Hats off to Rick Adelman.

    houston has a bunch of babies at PG as well.

    Blake played great this year.

    The Blazers are losing because Nate McMillan is reacting to Houston's rotations paying too much attention to YAO. The Houston shooters are getting waaaay too many good looks.


    The Portland 3 spot is straight up booty. The Rockets are dominating that spot. Outlaw should jump off the roof of the rose garden.

    it is a shame though....they would stretch the Lakers.

    oh well...free pass for the lakers to the finals.

    So sick and tired of watching Boston get every call and the benefit of the doubt on every no call.

    Witnessed it the entire playoffs last year; here we go again. Let them earn it. God.

    I think Paul Pierce has shot from that spot on the floor all year.

    I would put a landmine in that spot on the floor.

    over and over and over....shot after shot..from the exact same spot.

    WHO teaches defense on the Bulls staff?

    Rondo was a total ***** to Miller there. That should be a bigger foul than what it was.

    Chicago choked.

    12 point lead with 5 minutes left in the game... to Brad Miller missing FT's in OT.

    Second game they've handed Boston in this series.

    Should be over.

    Yup. But it's Boston.

    I really hope they make it to the ECF just to see Cleveland completely walk all over them.

    Because it's the Boston Celtics in the NBA Playoffs. No way they put Chicago in the position to win the game.

    Refs can't save Boston against a team like Cleveland, though (if they get by Orlando).

    I love Basketball. I just love it. second favorite sport.

    BUT.

    I would rather set myself on fire than watch another Spurs/Mavs borefest.

    it's as if these two teams forgot how to play basketball.

    Right. They have gotten every call this series. :rolleyes:

    What was the first game? And lol at giving Boston zero credit for winning.

    This has been the best series in the playoffs where are the more exciting games?

    Yeah Paul Pierce is the thug between the two teams.

    I guess you haven't noticed that Chicago's Coach is completely incompetent.

    the ****ing guy loses track of how many timeouts he calls.

    if they gave Vinny Del negro 35 Timeouts per half..the Bulls would win 60 games.

    well...there looks like there will be a game 7 in the ORL/PHI series.

    Dwight Howard is probably gonna be tossed for game 6.

    (intentional elbow to Dalembert's face)

    Don't worry, he got suspended, and it was pretty stupid. You don't do stuff like that, in the playoffs especially. Causing your team to risk losing a game for losing your temper is no excuse.

    I hope we play Atlanta in the first or second round next year and Wade is healthy.

    God that team does NOT deserve to advance.

    You should hear me at the Dolphins games.

    In week one last year I stayed after the game until like 5pm still screaming the nastiest things possible at the referees for calling pass interference on Ted Ginn on the game losing lob. And the funny thing is, it was a great call... :lol:
