    Huge break for the Spurs, Denver was clearly the more deeper team and the best home team in all of the NBA.

    While the Warriors wont be easy, its not the same as going against the Nuggets who people picked to go to the finals.

    because of all the series ending early, there's only one game for tomorrow: Nets/Bulls

    Deng is doubtful

    I haven't got to watch most of the Nets vs Bulls series, but I will def be tuning in for Game 7. I expect a great game. I don't really care who wins, but I think Bulls are more likely to upset Miami if they are healthy than the Nets. I fear the Bulls, however.

    Bulls could pull the upset with Rose.

    Rose doesn't want to play though.

    So I actually think the Nets pose a bigger threat to Miami.

    Bulls have nothing left, half the team is injured or sick.......especially on the road. Nets blow them out tomorrow. Nets will give Miami a decent challenge I think.

    I am rooting so hard for the Bulls. They probably don't have a prayer of making the finals, but seeing them get there, then seeing Rose selfishly come in and watching them lose to the West would be awesome.

    Depends. IF healthy without Rose Bulls are probably a bigger threat to Miami. Currently though, the Bulls are not healthy. The Nets are struggling to get by this Bulls team, so little confidence in them.

    I would enjoy Nate's shenanigans vs Lebron/Wade but I really have no rooting preference with CHI this banged up

    Tune in, the series, besides the 1st game, has been tense. I won't say it's good basketball, but it's been close most of the games

    LeBron James remains the best basketball player in the world.

    The Miami Heat forward will be named NBA MVP for the fourth time in five seasons, a person familiar with the voting told USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt. The person requested anonymity because the announcement is scheduled for Sunday, with the presentation likely before the Heat's second-round playoff opener Monday.

    Most people knew he was the best player in the world before Kia paid to say so.

    Could be argued he should have gotten it instead of D Rose.

    I'm glad nothing stupid happened this year, clearly the best player in the NBA

    I don't think the Rose-less Bulls could take a series from Miami.

    I don't really think the Nets can either, but they are more talented.

    I don't think either can also, but I do think a healthy Rose less Bulls is a bigger threat than the Nets.

    We'll see after this game 7 tomorrow. Heat are in a win-win, get a tired team and either a Nets team that struggled against Nate Robinson and the Bulls, or a banged up Bulls team coming off 7 games.

    See how Crawford needs to make a big production out of everything...

    The dude is a fuckin embarrassment to officials in sports.


    Just make the fucking call. He stops everything makes everyone look at him, stops the other officials, waits for him to have all the attention and get a crowd reaction.

    Fucking Douche... I hope him and Stern disappear...then I can try and enjoy this game I used to love so much..

    ZBO/Blake getting into it. Blake grabbed ZBOs head, ZBO and Blake falls and ZBO pushes Blake into the ground, Blake throws his elbow into the back of ZBO on the ground, ZBO chokes Blake Griffin on the ground or tries to

    I understand that, but I'm talking about the way he makes the calls.....

    He's been doing this for years. It's nothing new.

    But I agree. I don't like Joey Crawford as a ref.
