The Chicago Bulls are a team that is celebrated for playing "playoff basketball" in the regular season. They are scrappy, they are intense, they defend hard. Unfortunately, when the playoffs come EVERY team plays that way. So the Bulls without their star guard Derrick Rose have problems. I think this year will be no different. When you add in the fact Bulls center Joakim Noah is not 100% I like Brooklyn chances a lot. Brook Lopez and gang should be able to take this series in 6 games. PJ Carlisemo came in mid season and got the Nets playing better, they will be rewarded with their first playoff series win in ages.

I'd like to see the Bulls win this series, purely to set up an intense rivalry series against the Heat in the next round. I'm waiting to see if Rose plays, and if he does, what impact he makes. If he doesn't then I feel the Bulls in 6 or win the decider.

That being said, I think the Nets might have too much for the Bulls if Rose doesn't return and Noah is still sidelined. If Lopez, Williams and Johnson play to their potential it will take a lot of big performances from the Bulls to stop them.

Brooklyn blowing Chicago out by 26 points with 6 minutes left in the 3rd. Told yall that "we play playoff basketball in the regular season" stuff wasnt gonna help Chi when the playoffs really do start. Everybody picks up the intensity so you gotta do more. Who is gonna step up for Chi? Boozer? Noah? Puh-leeze.

Instant classic right there. Brooklyn should be ashamed of themselves. Made the whole borrough look soft with that choke job. A team with D Will, Brook Lopez, & Joe Johnson shouldnt be losing to a team featuring Kirk Hinreich and Nate Robinson. This series is over, Bulls will see Miami next round. Nets are a mess.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By Basbear · Posted

      Im not firm on many things football, but this statement or belief or strategy I am 100% for. Full Offseason the goal is to make the playoffs. Week 1, 1000% I want to win. Weeks 2-10,  1000% I want to win. Until the math stats 0.000000000% chance at NO playoffs, I want to win. *Once* there's no chance at the playoffs, I want to 100% lose every game until the end. You are still loser at 2-15 or 5-12, I want to never lose like this again. I want the best value for losing and suffering. Again the only goal is playoffs. Once in the playoffs anything can happen, I want to win the whole dam show. If you happen to lose in the first round, that's perfectly fine and lets work hard this upcoming off-season to get another chance to make them.  This is the ONLY way to play in the NFL. Anyone not understanding this method of strategy, please call your doctor for a visit...

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Purdy's good but at the end of the day you're paying first class money for a business class seat.  It's a big problem with the salary cap.  QBs take most of it whether they are Pat Mahomes or not.

      Purdy saved the 49ers from that three 1st picks for Trey Lance. People forget that. People also forget he should have MVP votes for the 23 season. He's been any where from the 8th(his best/23) to 14th ranked QB, he's legit and guys around top 10 get paid as QBs.....guys in 28th get paid too, he's 4x the QB Trevor Lawrence is and better than BY by miles as well...even without CMC, Samuel(whos a RB playing WE), and half the OL.    *BUT*    You non-believers missed this ultra important mistake that honestly made me reconsider all the praise I gave him. https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/49ers-qb-brock-purdy-throws-blind-40-percent   That's is damming to my case and reset my thinking of his. That's nuclear scary now and I need some time.  too honest for me to overlook.
