So far Western Conference has been a disappointment compared to 2014 Western playoff.

Other than Clip vs. Spurs, all others are just boring....

Some of these series are getting really interesting. Could the Clips take down the Spurs?

Nice to see the Bulls shape up after a terrible Game 5.

Is it true Thibs left in the starters for a long time?

Clips/Spurs going 7!!! Did Blake really interfere with a 3 ball?

yup. Except the guy who controls the clock messed it up at the end.

It would have been epic if Spurs pulled off the last second dunk.

I am not a lip reader but i knew exactly what the assistant coach was yelling at the guy.

All I care about is that the Bulls can get past the Cavs.

well with KLove out and DRose still intact, they are half way there, all they need now is figure out a way to not let LBJ go LBJ on them.

Let's not forget Irving is not a bad player also. The Cavs are no cakewalk with the best player on the planet and the supporting cast they have.

I am going with some homerism and say Bulls in 7. Mirotic, Gasol, Butler, D-Rose, Taj, and Jo is quite the depth...and scoring options...

The problem with bulls has always been lacking firepower in the 4th.

I Hope they are different this year.

As long as LBJ does not get a ring, i am ok with Anyone winning this year.

The problem with Irving is the same as Westbrook. Crazy player, but inconsistent. Starting doing stupid shit when panicking or under pressure. Hope LBJ can put a leash on him when things don't go the way they wanted, or not...

Well, the Bulls generally have not been stone-cold this year as much. They now have options...Gasol, Mirotic, and especially Butler now provide the scoring depth Chicago had lacked in prior years.

So, we'll see...LeBron will likely draw Butler on defense and so, it will be very interesting to see how it turns out. LeBron is LeBron...he will get his points but if Butler can limit him somewhat, Bulls have a great chance to go to the Conference Final.

Let's assume that bulls will get past Cavs.

Would you rather see Bulls vs. Houston or GS?

Houston. Cuz, I still think Dwightmare is a dumb@$$ for his shenanigans a couple years ago.

Personally, I think Houston matches up better for Chicago...given the speed of the Warriors, it would drive the Bulls batty.

But, again...I just need to wonder when the long-range shooting will go dry for San Francisco...like, it defies logic!

I thought GS's shooting will be affected too in playoff, so far it seems their shoot is not not by luck but pretty consistent.

Let's see how they do in the rest of the round 2. If they still continue to shoot like that even with Memphis's defense, then i dont know if anyone can beat them.

Yes. LA should rest CP3 until Houston proves to LA that they need CP3.

And Butler needs to do a better job guarding LeBron in Game 3...he wasn't very good in Game 2.
