Chicago Bulls better clinch the #1 seed!!!!

I wouldn't worry. Rose is continuing Jordan's legacy as well as creating his own. We've been leader of Eastern Conference for a while. If we don't win the championship, we should get pretty damn close, but I have faith that we will win it this year, so that I can rub it in my friends' faces.

I would worry.
Rose is continuing to let his team down when they need him most

Rose is taking over for Greg Oden in the constantly being injured department. It really sucks for him and the Bulls. For my Celtics though this could be good news though if they get past the second round.

****.

I thought it was only a sprain, I go outside to get in the car, sky looking gloomy as hell and I find out Rose tore his ACL. f*ck f*ck f*ck. I still have faith in my Bulls. Don't underestimate the Bench Mob...

Rose, along with Rubio and Shumpert, will be back in action better than ever. Heat fans are loving this.

this year my money is on either the Heat or the Thunder.

my surprise pick would be the Spurs.

[Stuntzman]

Being a Heat fan, I think LeBron deserves a f*cking Oscar for that hard screen. Flagrant foul? Come on.

[Funktipus]

In my 40 years of following the NBA, I've NEVER seen a comeback like last night's. AMAZING win by the Clippers.

As for my Knicks, stick a fork in them. They don't have a point guard to break down the defense, they lost their best on-ball defender and our two stars aren't in the same class as Miami's two stars. Another year without a playoff win....

Agree with you, Didn't saw the game live, just saw the preview. And about LeBrons acting, If a player gets a little punch, he'll ALWAYS act, just to force a foul.

It was a great comeback, I agree, but not as great as the Dallas Mavericks' comeback in the 2011 NBA Finals.

Knicks are getting swept - that is all. Real bright move, Amar'e.

Yea, he can talk once he has rings in his mouth. So, until then, he can rest.

I hate getting into this debate. If Dwight Howard's Magic had a good supporting cast, he probably would have already won a ring. Howard has scored more points on better efficiency, while averaging more rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. The only thing Howard is worse at than Bynum is free throw percentage.

Also, Bynum's play as LA's first option is really quite poor. He's only good as a second or third option. Howard meanwhile, well he carries the Magic. People just want to crown Bynum as the best center in the league because Howard is acting like a douche at the moment and Bynum is the flavor of the month.

[Funktipus]

Say goodbye to the Knicks. Of course they set the league record for consecutive playoff losses. They're just not in Miami's class. They weren't winning this series even if they were healthy. And as long as Miami has that group, Knicks aren't winning in the near future. The talent level isn't there. thirty-nine friggin' years without a title....

Looking forward to Giants training camp...

The Knicks never had a chance. I'm hoping Miami and OKC get to the finals so we can see Durant/
Lebron.

@ Bynum: He's been playing lights out the last month and right now hes the best center in the league in my opinion.

That's not even a fair comparison. I believe Derrick Rose never missed a game before this season opposite of Greg Oden who got injured before he could even suit up for the Blazers.

I'd pick Andrew Bynum over Dwight Howard, but I think Orlando Magic is holding Dwight back and it's truly where he doesn't want to be. Once he moves on and gets his Robin, Deron Williams with the Brooklyn Nets, we will see if Howard gets a ring.

[GHouse]

Why would you believe that Dwight is going to Brooklyn?
Deron has shown disinterest in staying with the nets so what would indicate that he would stay? A lot of speculation has him going back to Dallas.
I think Dwight will follow him after his contract expires, Mark Cuban's wallet, and will to spend can be very attractive to players.
J-Kidd is on his way out, and Brendan Haywood isn't really a starting center, or at least not a top tier center.
