Captain Hi-Top 791 Report post Posted May 5, 2013 Particularly pleasing to see the Nets fall last night, on their own court, to a severely depleted Bulls team. Almost as pleasing as seeing the Lakers get swept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I definitely agree, must confess I had mixed feelings regarding the Nets loss ... not because I favored them in any way but, because I thought that if they made it pass the Bulls, that in itself would have been even more bitter for D Coward ... because they would have made it while he didn't; because they would've made it without him ... arrogant as he is, he's probably thinking right now "they would've made it if I would've been there" ... "I would've been the deliverer" ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Audi 60 Report post Posted May 5, 2013 Yup - So good to see these two teams go down in flames. Too bad the Rockets didn't advance I was pulling for them as well (Parsons in particular). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike1989 68 Report post Posted May 5, 2013 Glad the Spurs and Bulls got past the Lakers and Nets. I wanted to see another Bulls/Heat series, should be interesting to see how competitive they can be against the Heat, and whether or not they can cause the upset of the play offs. And as for the Spurs, would be 'nice' to see them win another title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as for the Spurs, would be 'nice' to see them win another title. Very glad to see the Bulls get by the Nets for the same reason. They are big and lengthy and that is a struggle for the Heat. I think Memphis and Indiana are the only ones with a real shot at beating Miami. Youth+Size+Depth. If Westbrook wasn't hurt, OKC would be the favorite of those 3 to beat Miami. I do like the Spurs too, but I don't know that they could beat Miami 4 out of 7 games. I'll be rooting for the Grizzlies for the rest of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets not pretend we dont have one heck of a long way to go to be relevant again. True, but I think it's evident we won't be in the bottom for very long. Take a look at Phoenix- they also lost their star player to LA and were terrible this year. However they have long term money lined up for Michael Beasely (cancer), no real promising young players, coaching situation up in the air, one of the worst owners in the league, and our old friend Gortat was quoted towards the end of the season as being frustrated with the team as a whole for just giving up or something to that extent. Though I'm sure it will be a couple more seasons before we are prominent again, just be glad we're not in a situation like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ditto with Redick. He could have chosen another way that netted fruitless wins. The next two summers are critical! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
