Greatest series that wasn't a conference finals or championship series, because the all-time series have to come from those rounds, it's just like a man-law or something ... has to be the best early round battle, no other series ever had more than two games go to overtime. This one has had four, and the lead change and tie numbers TNT spit out are even crazier than the score without Game 3 stat. 106 lead changes and 65 ties in six games ...
Somebody fix me if I'm wrong, but I've read eight overtime periods in two different threads now. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and curse another Celtic blowout for pride here ... I count seven total overtimes, two single period affairs, a double and a triple. Two plus two plus three, I get seven. Not trying to mock anyone, this one has twisted my brain around too ... Just want the right number up here if any Bulls' trolls come creeping and think we're more tired than we really are.
And this seems like the thread for it, but to the young baby Bulls, before the flesh meets on Saturday, you can catch me saying it here: Well played series, from top to bottom, so much better than expectations, so much more upside than the Hawks from last year, and congratulations on a battle thus far. Now get ready for fury. Champs' hearts are not broken by the likes of Chicago this year.
