Houston fans can gripe about the calls in game one in OT, but both teams had their main guys fouling out in that game. If houston would have put together some sort of offense and hit their free throws down the stretch, the Blazers wouldn't have caught up to send it into overtime.

Game 2 painted a better picture of where these two teams are at physically and mentally. There weren't many botched calls, I count maybe two out of bounds balls that fans were booing about, but those were early on and not detrimental to the horrible 2nd half by the rockets.

I can't help but imagine if Brandon Roy was still healthy and you guys took Durant instead of Oden...Portland would have a NASTY lineup right now!

The players play. The league dictates whats a foul a what isn't, so I wouldn't be as hasty to blame players. The league you grew up watching didn't have the athletes that are in today's game. Colin Cowherd interviewed Bill Laimbeer a week or so ago. Laimbeer said today the guys are bigger and faster. The only reason why the game was more physical back then was for TV ratings...

Those are the words of one of the 80s biggest badasses, not mine.

I didn't specifically mean you. You're clearly a Chicago fan, who are you rooting for?

Man...I still remember when it was released that Roy tore his meniscus, and was deciding whether or not to keep playing in the playoffs. I knew that if he played on that torn meniscus he was done. Sad, because if he would've not played, he'd still be playing right now.

Bulls...lol sorry about your team my bets for east to beat heat are Pacers and Wizards...if the wizards can play well in the playoffs they beat the most top teams in the season serieses

For the west I'm going with Thunder/ Spurs and possibly the Clippers if they can get their shit together No team with Dwight Howard can win in the playoffs he refuses to get serious when he needs to be serious

They blew that out of bounds call on Jeff Teague's lucky 3-pointer in Atlanta that straight killed the Bulls' momentum.

Anyway.......Dallas Mavericks all the way!

You mean pacers

MokSpeed · 04-25-2014, 05:23 PM

^Yes my bad. The East teams are so bad, with exception to the Heat, they're all starting to look the same to me.

luuser75 · 04-25-2014, 07:54 PM

Seriously...PACERS DYNASTY WHERE YOU AT?!

Haeb · 04-25-2014, 08:00 PM

Big market teams might be favored...but look where the two biggest are- Lakers and Knicks - compared to one of the small market teams, the Spurs. Big market...small market...somehow the Spurs just do what they do. Now if only the Kings could get back to their days of winning....sigh
