Yeah the Knicks probably could have beaten the Pacers simply because they have Melo and I think he is much more trustworthy to deliver. The rest of the guys on the Pacers just don't step when the need to. Beating Miami in the regular season doesn't mean shit if you can't perform against everyone else.

If the Wizards can beat Chicago and and not get worn down in the process I have to give them a really good shot against Miami, especially if Miami has to go through Brooklyn and they make it a seven game series. I just feel like Miami will lose this year. The East was weak compared to the West but Miami has already been to 3 straight NBA finals and Lebron has already competed in the Olympics during this stretch as well. Just like Kobe and the Lakers did when they won 2 straight. Getting back to the Finals 4 straight times is hard and not many teams can do it. I predicted before the beginning of the season that the Thunder would win and if not them then a Western Conference team would.

Although I'd like to see someone new come out of the East to represent them.

Never expected the Wizards to win Game 1, especially with how shitty Wall and Beal shot the ball. That's going to be a great series.

Just as I suspected, the Bulls will have issues against the offense of the Wiz. The offensively challenge Bulls doesn't stand a chance when the Wiz gets it going.

The Bulls shot worse and Thibs rotation has been the same all season long. No changes, even when necessary.

I told you not to sleep on the Wizzards! They have a really great team there. Very solid frontcourt that can dominate absolutely everyone in the East and a backcourt that though inexperienced, is the most talented in the East as well. They also have veterans helping push through crucial moments like Miller did today. Just a very good team. If they mesh well and Beal and Wall finally start playing the way they should - the sky is the limit for them. But today they have proven they can win a game against a top team even with these two guys struggling, which should give them a lot of confidence. Miller was pure gold with his post moves on Augustin :)

LOL it was a matter of sleeping on them. I just assumed that Chicago would have played better. They had the best record in the East since January, Noah was playing like an MVP candidate and everything just seemed to be going well for them. But Washington played pretty damn good considering two of their best players had off nights. I still think this series is going to 6, if not 7, but it should be a great one.

Well the Bulls have a tendecy to underperform when they are up against a young and athletic team. The Wiz seems to fit the bill and unlike the Raptors, the Wiz has front court experience in Gortat and Nene.

And oh Chuck! XD

The Warriors-Clippers and Portland-Houston series will be tasty!

Holy Crap! I missed the game because I'm at work but the Clips totally NUKED the Warriors on Game 2. :O

Warriors are at a huge disadvantage without Bogut. They're going to have a hard time guarding Griffin without him.
