Bulls force a game 6. Let's see if they have what it takes to tie the series in Philly...

Lakers and their fans probably have Bynum to thank. I heard he pissed the Nuggets off, saying it'd be an easy game during a pre-game interview.

He's still one of my favorite players, so I'm glad he seems to be a rotation player in the league, but we'll never know if he really had the talent to be one of the top PGs in the league.

^^Jesus H, that just hurts to talk about any knee injury.

Lakers, lol. Thanks for that Bynum. Kobe made it look possible to win it. He's still crazy good. Now we get Metta World Peace back for the next round at least.

Javale McGee I'm not worried about. Andre Miller is freakin savvy man. On an interesting note, I played him in high school. He was a freshman, I was a benchwarming senior. He looked exactly the same, still never dunked, but was pretty good. My cousin dropped 35 on him though, lol.

Closing out the series is... ughhhhhhhh... actually pretty easy...

On the same day, Chris Paul was asked the same question and said "closing out the series is always very tough" or something like that.

I WANT CHRIS PAUL ON LAKERS!

I think the Heat victory in game 5 was a forgone conclusion. It was just a matter of the margin of victory.

The Knicks had a crazy season, with several iterations despite (or because of) the shortened season. Let's see if we can pull some offseason moves to get better for next year.....now onto my Mets.

I follow this guy that he's like a Knicks blogger or something on Twitter and man NY did have a crazy year. With all the injuries, drama, firing MD, fire extinguishers and Linsanity that they even made 7th feed was probably a success in its own. If they can get a good healthy point guard (don't think Lin is the answer) they can easily be top 4.

Did you guys hear the Heat PA announcer say that Amar'e got extinguished instead of ejected after fouling out?

Heard JR Smith is gonna be shopping the market soon as well. He's gotten wind that NY fans don't want him there and threatened to do so.

Here's hoping my Bulls and Nugs force Game 7, and Celts close out for some rest!

heard rumors that lakers wanted to stretch out the series so that they'll have metta world peace back when they face okc. if they can finish it in game 6 then they'll have a fresh MWP to get all up in harden's face.

nonsense. Kobe & Pau aren't young any more... stretching the series just for Peace is a stupidest move ever.

No excuse, Lakers didn't play well.

To anyone who believes that rumor: Do you honestly believe someone who's dangerously competitive, like say .. Kobe, would allow that shit to happen?

Nah, they'd never do that. They aren't tanking.

MWP back is a side benefit, you really think they want to be in Denver right now when they could have finished it?

I keep hearing that Pacers is going to give Heat a ton of trouble... I doubt it...only team that could give Heat a trouble is themselves. If they play like they are against the wall every game, no team out there could beat them.
