bulls must win man, and hope cleveland lose, or else one of them gonna drop to 5th seed and face miami + lost home court advantage

ARGGHHH!! Bulls loss......this cost them alot man! now dropped to fifth seed adi, gonna face Miami...

is a big accomplishment for Warriors entering the playoffs. So, they might become an underdog, coz, everyone will be thinking that Mavs sure win, so they got no pressure, i think they might get one or two matches win in that series

haha, GSW gonna make some noise!

from the recap of the match, says that GSW is 6th straight win over the Mavs, haha, guess Don Nelson very understand wat opponent he was facing, coz thats the team he coached before!

great start for the GSW, but i do think that the MAVS will start picking up in the next game

well he is gonna do alright in the next game im pretty sure

this shows that playoff is really different from the regular match ups. Pistons have tonnes of playoff experience, while majority of magics dont. Dwight Howard isnt played well in this match while his teammates like Grant Hill and Hedo stepped up. They had more experience and veteren thou..

boozer has stellar performance, but jazz loss.... wth with ak47??

although rockets FG percentage is lower but they had better free throw shooting.

for endurance, spurs might win, if they can manage to hold the nuggets.

CHICAGO (AP) -- The Miami Heat climbed out of their last 2-0 playoff deficit. They'll need more from Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade to perform similar magic this time.

Ben Gordon scored 27 points and Luol Deng added 26 to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 107-89 victory Tuesday night and a 2-0 lead over the defending champions in this first-round series.

Gordon scored 11 in the third quarter, hitting three 3-pointers, as the Bulls built a 17-point lead. Deng scored 14 in the fourth as Chicago sent Miami halfway to elimination.

O'Neal and Wade had subpar performances again after struggling through foul trouble in the opener, finishing with 17 and 21 points, respectively. O'Neal was just 6-for-14 from the floor with eight rebounds. And Wade, who led a late charge in Game 1, never really got going, hitting 9-of-19.

Trailing 85-71 through three quarters, the Heat were within seven after Wade's layup early in the fourth, but they had no answer for Deng. Quiet in the first half after scoring 33 in the opener, Deng scored the Bulls' first eight points in the fourth before Thabo Sefolosha hit a jumper that made it 95-82 midway through the quarter.

The best-of-seven series shifts to Miami for two games, with Game 3 Friday night.

Home teams that have taken the first two games in a best-of-seven series have gone on to advance 95 percent of the time, but the Heat and Bulls have bucked that trend in recent seasons.

Miami dropped the first two games at Dallas in last year's finals, then won four straight to capture the championship. Two years ago, the Bulls opened with two wins at home over Washington but lost in their first playoff appearance since the Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen era.

As they did in Game 1, the Bulls beat the Heat with quick passes that led to open looks, and as a result, hit 43 of 78 shots.

chicago is looking great now! But now is too early to determine that bulls will advance. hope they get the third match too

this season suns is different already. They had Amare back on line and learnt all the mistakes made last season vs lakers.

he is big shot bob, only critical moment he will show his value, haha

-----

btw, currently Dallas lead Warriors 9 points, 8 min to play, becareful for the GSW bounce back!

congratulations to Monta Ellis!

Actually my prediction goes to Kevin Martin, but he just behind Ellis 3 points, so close.... maybe GSW had more wins so... haha

haih, rockets loss already, low shooting percentage... tough defense by jazz... and commit too many Tunovers...

well some one is worse than him before..

eg. Kevin Garnett - 7 times consecutive out in first round

pau gasol and the grizzlies - playoff --> 0 win 12 loss

i just watched the MIA-CHI match over Astro ESPN, all i wanna say is congratulation to the Bulls!! Well they were down double digits in 3rd quarter, but then they took the lead on the fourth, wat a great come back!

but at the end there, Wade put the heat back to the chase, but bulls manage to hold off. well, is their free throw to the blame... so low percentage...

sorry heat, bulls gonna advance this time!

----------

just checked kidd's stat, wow! 16-16-19!! Net's rebound king lolz, how did he do that? Well, i know he rebound all those long rebounds, but how come all drop to his hand? maybe he got magnet field hahaha.

pistons sweep orlando and advanced to 2nd round!

rockets loss again! now 2-2

omg, GSW is really making a lot of bangs! But i still believe that Mavs can come back.... they gotta win all the rest of the games... but if GSW continue to stay hot as now, well well.... MAVs gotta...

hard to believe that the two teams that make into the finals, disqualify in the first round of the next season.....

this is playoff sir!

pistons vs bulls, cavs vs nets...

pistons vs bulls gonna be very interesting.....
