just lay it in ray

I missed the play. What did he do wrong?

missed a wide-open dunk...

Hmm... so far feels like the end of the regular season games for the Cs.

Obviously. Same players, same team.

Haha, I was referring to attitude wise and the inability to put away lesser teams, but that works too.

Bulls however, look like they've realized it's the post season and have their energy levels up.

Bulls have been playing very well lately. I think the theory the C's were coasting and would step up in the playoffs was quite bizarre. I think their attitude is nice, they just need to play better, more intelligent ball.

How would that theory be bizarre? how many times have we seen teams do that? every year?

That's a myth. That's why there's a strong correlation between how teams perform in reg. season and playoffs and point diff. is a good predictor of future playoff success.

These turnovers are uncalled for and ridiculous wow

[liam]

[Chief]

The clock stopped.

[Stu]

That Nancy Lieberman has got to be the worst sideline reporter alive.

[RockinRyA]

just wow.. cant even get the last shot

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

Um....

That was an embarasment of a first half...and maybe its even more embarrasing they got booed off the floor

I dont think they get out of this round after that mess

Playoff experience is offically the most overrated thing ever...the bulls have none...the bulls are playing like they have it all and we're basically choking right now...way to go guys

[celticinorlando]

 this is just lazy unfocused basketball. one of the worst halves of basketball the C's have played....i see nothing from this team that tells me they are "going to flip the switch" now the playoffs are here....awful....unconfident and just bad basketball...

[bruinsandceltics]

I am done with this team.

At least the Bruins are some play with some heart.

unacceptable not hitting open shots is one thing sometimes they don't drop but you gotta start forcing the action and allowing lay ups all day is not a good way to make up for not hitting jumpers.

Um....

That was an embarasment of a first half...and maybe its even more embarrasing they got booed off the floor

Booeed off the floor? Seriously?

[twinbree]

They better come out with a strong 3rd quarter. They're just making it harder on themselves for the long run with these slow starts.

[yoursweatersux]

I think I want to vomit. This is atrocious ball we're playing

I'm definitely not one of those people who bail on the team the moment there's a little adversity, but this game is unfortunately confirming my suspicions that we don't have what it takes to even get beyond the Magic.

Despite how terribly we're playing, I still really really like our chances of beating the Bulls. But the Magic are a much better team than they get credit for... it wouldn't even surprise me that much if they beat Cleveland or even win the championship. Without KG, that series is looking a little bleak.
