Earlier this season Dirk said there were no teams in the West to worry about, let's see if he and his team can live up to that

The Act and Sat almost killed his college career. Which in today's game he he ended his career with an torn ACL.

If Ron Arrest can change his last name to Meta World Peace then Rose should change his last name to Handle With Care.

And like that, there goes any chance for a Title for the Bulls.

Just how it works out. The Bulls still have a very good team without Rose but there's no way they can win a 7-game series against the elite of the NBA.


Seriously, the LeHeat has no one standing in their way at this point.

Durant got a good shot off, nothing more to say. Still proud of my team for fighting & not letting them get walked over like the Knicks.

Feel so bad for Chandler right now.

In all honesty im not going to give shit to you, or any bulls fans.(well mostly you), but I don't wish that type of injury on any athlete.(well Delonte West is getting to that point. i hate that guy with a passion, but still) Hope he has a full recovery and hope he is better next season.

Accident prone Rose out for the playoffs?? Of course!! Just give Miami an easy route to the title...or at least conference champs. If they do (miami) take it all, they will be *asterisk* champs like the '99 spurs.

Go Lakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they are solid team w/o Rose.
They were 19-8 w/o Rose, so still a good team.... but you are right about making it to the end.

No Olympic for him, and might miss early 1/3 of the season next year.

Yeah, it just all-round sucks. Chicago had as great of a chance to with the Title this year as any elite team and it's all gone in smoke now.

Too bad Rose can't buy a break this year. Just hope the Bulls go down fighting...I know they can at least still make some noise in the playoffs...just how far? I think the Conference Finals at best.

And I think the biggest worry is if Rose will get his explosiveness/speed back from such a catastrophic injury. Of all injuries, a torn ACL was probably the worst for a guy who counts on his speed above all else.

If anybody to blame it would be the owners and trying to have all these games to salvage what money they lost.. Even if the NBA had to redo the scheduling for all the tv airs it could've been worked out.

it was intentional... the step BEFORE was a little trip, but it was the step AFTER the trip where he makes a forward motion for intentional contact. It doesn't help that he was mouthing off when it happen

Never thought the Knicks had a chance against the LeHeat.

If there's a sweep, that's the series. And I'm not even snarking about the LeHeat's supremacy.

Clips getting beat bad, but to be honest, I'm enjoying some good basketball being played by Memphis.

Clippers didn't look ready going into the post season.

Almost turned off the TV but the Clippers kept chipping away, made the run down from 27 points. When the Clips took the one point lead you can see the Memphis fans stunned and deflated! Zach Randolph not the same player from last year since returning from his injury.

Man I feel bad for Rose and Bulls fans Not only is he out for the playoffs, he'll miss early next season and might not be 100% the whole year. If our paths met I was hoping for another series between both teams full strength. No excuses.

Good fucking god, these 1st games has been intense and fucking heartbreaking at the same time.

- Rose goes down with ACL
- Shumpert goes down with ACL
- Bynum ties the blocking record for the playoffs
- Rondo, fine and possible 1-game suspension for ref contact
- Did not expect the Magic to even put up a fight against the Pacers
- Durant's game winner
- Tony Parker showing that MVP skill
- And of course, one of the biggest comebacks I've ever heard of, Clippers overcoming a 27 point deficit to win it

These are only game 1s!

Loving the play-off action!

Clippers game was awesome!.... too bad I turned it off in the 3rd quarter...

And tough loss for the Mavs. I know Durant's clutch and all, but that last shot was a lucky bounce in.

Excited for the games tonight. Except if LeBron does another "flopping act", I will officially call him Vlade Divac.
