Coach Donovan made a controversial decision to test his squad in the season finale 3 nights back - the game went to OT! - but I reckon he knew what he was doing. Bulls can draw a lot of positives from the season they've had. Hawks poised to blow it up this summer.

I wonder if he knew his team would get an extra days rest, unlike the West conference play-in. I'm guessing he did.

don't know yet, looking at it, bulls at home are a hard bet no advantage
if you're going to blow up a team what better time to get a new contract or trade than when millions are watching you for the first time all season. motivation
just playing devil's advocate no play right now

Bulls have been shit at home but the hawks have long been weak on the road -they split the games in Chicago this season.
Sixers not looking good. Embiid losing heart already. He will blame his knee, but in reality the game is not fun for him when he's not torching some lottery team.

yeah sixers are not playing professionally
miami stole the ball an incredible 9 times in the 1st half. i can't remember that in an nba half. they're standing around waiting for something or somebody instead of playing
sixers were 3-18 from 3
with stats like those they should be down 25+
still thinking about the 2nd game

I'll take the hawks ml in game 2 +125
I'm not taking the bulls at home. granted atlanta worse on the road but if they come to play they have more talent
fade or follow all good. gl fellas

Batum helping the Sixers back in it. Vastly underrated player. Clippers will miss him this year! -him & Morris.

Both these teams look horrible to me. If there's a team to beat the Celtics it's not one of them.

agree embiid just doesn't look the same. i thought he'd be ok, he was touching his knee brace all game been around a long time, if a basketball player is wearing a brace that's bad news
tough loss almost had it. congrats nash on the crazy over

There's playoff Jimmy and then there's playoff DeRozan. Playoffs DeRozan regularly shits the bed... big fan of Caruso here though. He;s the defensive guard Pat Beverley dreams he could be.

White & Vucevic as well. If White doesn't win MIP something is off. He was a terrible player not so long ago. Now he's a borderline star.

with the brace he's a different guy
I've worn braces they don't work. when i quit using them my knees got better. especially bulky braces like he has are bad. he wears it because these docs do a sales job and make money off that garbage

Not for me. That's 12 games they've got to win while avoiding injuries. Bucks appear to be a matchup problem for them also.

yeah agree. i love the price which entices me, but i just don't think it's worth it
You're right they don't have anyone to match with Yannis or a big center. Porzingis is not stopping Yannis. They depend on the 3, if they're not hitting they can lose big. And Tatum has a way of disappearing in the playoffs, and Brown has a way of doing the opposite shooting too much when he's shooting bricks
Of course when they're hitting 3s they're unstoppable, but that's probably true for every team
i'll keep looking. thanks

Hawks just keep coming. Losing Caruso has hurt the Bulls defense obviously (penetrating Drummond collided with him -that guy scares me when I have a bet on his team).

I mentioned the Hawks not being good on the road... these bad spells that they have are just horrific. They really know how to dig.

you were right they quit. they were in it down 3 in the 3q then stopped playing
i was wrong that chicago home court wouldn't matter. these idiots are going crazy over this game
and i don't know the hawks and bulls well. paid for that.
i couldn't be more wrong.
so, it's an ass kicking and a learning. 0 2 for the night

defense is effort. if you don't play defense like tonight it probably means some of these guys are playing for points and contracts
