Taj's dunk was...

I probably watched both Gibson's dunks like 50 times each no lie lol. They were so sick!!! Game 1 tonight between the Mavericks/ Thunder. Should be a great series, but I'm going with Dallas in 6. I just feel that Dallas is so deep at every position its going to be too much for OKC. Also NBA Draft lottery tonight as well

taj sure did posterize d wade with that dunk. looking forward to game 2 tho as i expect LBJ to bounce back from a thoro a$$whipping he took in game 1. Although i'm pulling for the bulls, i do hope this series goes all 7 games. this is one series and maybe even a rivalry that is just getting started for a few years to come.

This has been one hell of a post-season.

The Knicks get swept. King James literally bowled over the Celts starting line-up. The 8th seed Grizzlies went past the first round (and gave this year's first game-7). The Lakers didn't just lose, but they lost via 0-4 30-point blowout with two ejected players.

I'm hoping the Finals will either be Thunder-Heat or Bulls-Mavs.

as much as i want the Bulls to win the east, my guts tells me it will be Heat vs Mavs in the Finals.

Wow, this loss really hurts

Wasn't even remotely fair.

Midway through the second quarter, the free throw count was 13-4 in favor of the Heat. And it didn't shrink.

..and Rose was 7-23 from the field. i'm expecting a huge game 4 from him.

Well... that (likely) match-up is going to suck. It could be Lakers/Magic from '09 again; the team that made their living from beyond the arc suddenly cools down and the bigger team just methodically takes them apart.

The Bulls need more consistency. Wade will always keep the Heat in the game; it's a bonus if James or Bosh or anyone else gets hot (which is likely if Wade continues to produce). Chicago has great numbers all three games from Deng and Gibson, but they're not going to be equal to Wade.
