anybody see Thabo in the commercial for the playoffs. It's just him guarding Kobe and getting scored on, but it's pretty cool mainly due to Jeremy Piven.

It also means we're in the finals!

[Jon]

Jermaine O'Neal is sitting out tonight against the Wizards. Foster, too.

[BigSlick]

Game starting soon. I might have switch back and forth with the Cubs game.

[ChiCubsFan]

We aren't getting help from the Bucks. We're gonna have to do this ourselves.

[Jon]

Yeah, Cavs up big early.

 

Oh for PIP. I guess the Cubs will have to get put on the back burner.

[Jon]

The Bulls have given up 4 points on easy fast breaks so far. Not terribly sharp in the early going, but it's a tie game.

[Jon]

Bulls with a terrible start offensively to this game. They can't make anything, nor can they cleanly handle easy defensive rebounds.

[Soul]

Ummm, now would be a good time to stop sucking.

 

thx

[ChiCubsFan]

This is frickin ridiculous. Let's go.

 

Duhon, you suck.

[Soul]

Damn Walton was right. Nets looking good, Bulls look flat.

 

We're gonna dig ourselves a hole we can't come back from unless we get going immediately. Down by 9

[Jon]

Bulls look like absolute crap right now. Wow.

 

And now they're down 15.

[Soul]

Down by 15. forget it, it's over already.

 

5th seed.

[Flames24Rulz]

Not really sure why people would think this would be a cakewalk. The Nets do have something to play for as well and they're looking like the team fighting for the 2 seed, not the 6th seed.

[Andy]

Hey Bulls.

 

WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO PLAY MIAMI THEN DETROIT IF YOU LOSE OR YOU GET NJ/WASH THEN TORONTO IF YOU WIN.

 

Thanks, andy

[Soul]

Thanx for ruining my evening, Bulls. Christ.

[ChiCubsFan]

Down by 15. forget it, it's over already.

 

5th seed.

 

They haven't looked good. But I wouldnt say that.

[da bears]

Just what we need. Carter to actually play basketball. Pick it up Bulls.

[ChiCubsFan]

Thabo please!

[Soul]

Down by 15. forget it, it's over already.

 

5th seed.

 

They haven't looked good. But I wouldnt say that.

 

Just look at 'em.

[Jon]

The Nets are shooting over 50% from the floor right now. The Bulls aren't. Edited April 19, 2007 by Jon

[da bears]

Wonderful the Nets are gonna shoot unbelievable. Frickin jerks.

[Soul]

Judging from the shooting, I'd say they know how important the game is and they're pressing.

 

Vince Carter, geez. He's just raping us. Total rape.

[Andy]

Nine down at the quarter. Considering how freakin awful they've looked, I'll take it gladly.

 

Now buckle down and kick their ass like you should.
