NBA Season 2021-22

Lavine is talented but man his decision-making leaves a lot to be desired.  Haven't seen a lot of Bulls fans with positive opinions of his BBIQ either.

The Bucks are finding out the Bulls are no cakewalk.

Terrible decision. Good game by Chicago though, they fought well

Yeah, these refs may be even worse than our refs. Of course, they have Tony Brothers, too. SO many questionable calls and non-calls going Milwaukee's way. That over the back foul on Giannis was egregious. Hopefully that was within two minutes to see what they say on the two minute report.

Bulls top three players are a combined 21/70.  That's... not going to work.

The flip side is that they're right there in this game and their best players have all sucked.  Maybe that bodes well for the rest of the series.

Bulls/Bucks game was a lot better than I thought it would be. Hopefully that’s a long-drawn-out series…

If DDR had a respectable shooting night the Bulls might have pulled that one off.

Let’s go, Pels. Make it a game.

BOSTON — A Game 1 win over the Brooklyn Nets wasn’t the only good news Marcus Smart got on Sunday. The league revealed finalists for six individual awards including the Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year. The one player who made the cut was the Celtics point guard.

Smart was announced as one of the three finalists for the honor, along with defending champion Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges.

Smartacus really deserves this one.

The Suns caning the Pels right now 59-42

[Moranis]

3 close games out of 8 among the game 1's.  I'm sure that won't be indicative of every game, but collectively some pretty dominant performances and thus boring basketball games.  C's game was obviously great, the Jazz/Mavs game was good, and while the Bucks game was close, I never felt like Chicago had a real chance to win, but the rest of the games were basically over at half time.  Blah.

Big run from the Pels 79-71 going into the last quarter

CP3 has shut the building down.  Old man still got it.

Christ DeMar, don't jinx yourself. You're starting to sound like a certain player who shall not be named in the 2019 playoffs.

Also I would like to say that I was totally right in thinking DeFrozen was gonna choke in yet another playoffs series.
