NBA: 1st Rd: [1] Boston Celtics vs [8] Chicago Bulls

[Robz4000]

I think Cleveland tanked to get away from the Bulls.

They couldn't of known they'd see the Bulls in the first round as the one seed until the final game of the year. Cavs just got lucky to draw the Pacers.

IT is a 91% FT shooter and shot 7-13 from the line today according to the box score.

Didn't really watch the game. Is his sister's death noticeably affecting his play?

nah, just rondo playing with a purpose.

[Robz4000]

How did BOS get the 1 seed? I mean, they play hard, but man, they struggle against gameplanning.

It's exactly as you said: gameplanning. There's none of that in the regular season.

Before making a push for Butler/PG, Celtics first move in the summer should be shopping Horford for a legit rebouding/bruising center...

[TheGreatYacht]

Could've had Jimmy and PG13 but drafted busts instead.

Man, what a shame that the East can't produce a single team capable of challenging the Cavs even when they're having a relatively weak season. In a competent conference, this Cavs team would be under serious threat, but the goty East lets them off the hook again.

I always say, just cancel the god damn East playoffs. ing waste of time.

Past East #1 seeds

2001 76ers and 2002 Nets look like world beaters compared to 2017 Celtics.

I think the Bucks and Bulls have a chance to beat CLE in the playoffs this year, assuming they advance far enough. The rest of the teams out east are just choking pretenders. Nobody trusts the wizards, craptors or any Atlanta sports franchise when it matters tbh.

Rondo out indefinitely with fractured thumb

Well , that could completely change the series.

[D-Wade]

Bad start for the Bulls in Rondo's absence but Wade + the bench bringing them back

[Robz4000]

Boston having their own choke job

[Robz4000]

Butler needs to stop ting down his leg.

[D-Wade]

What a ing block by Three

[spursistan]

It is going to be so Bulls if they get backdoor swept after winning the first two on the road..

That Rondo injury was a killer..Need Butler to go full Harden as defacto PG and handle the ball and playmake on every possession..

[spursistan]

Bulls much better in second half..Feels like this game is the series for both teams..

[Robz4000]

No Rondo = no more wins for the Bulls

[spursistan]

Outside those few shots in 4th Q of Game 2, Wade has looked way more washed up than Tony Parker these playoffs..

Indeed

[DD]

Hoiberg is 100% correct tbh

[Boston Pancake]

Lookit, sticks, the Boston Fahkin Celtics are reverse sweeping these fahkin cahksuckahs from Chicago. We have fahkin Bill Russell and Larry Fahkin Legend on our side, there is no way we lose in disgrace to the 8 seed. The King Of The Fourth, Isaiah Fahkin Thomas will go wicked hahd in the paint as he rams his little 5'9" fist right up Jimmy Butler's pooper.

[pookenstein]

Celtics in 7. Home team wins every game.

Good call so far.
