Ugh how did Memphis lose game one after being up by over 20 when I last saw the score? Unbelievable! On a bright side, it looks like Atlanta should have an easier game 2 with Rondo out.
Heat will have a relatively easy time winning the east now that rose is out. I give the knicks five games, indiana six games, and then chicago six games. Heat vs thunder finals

Losing Shumpert essentially lost the Knicks any chance of a respectable showing in Rd 1.
I think they'll win Game 3, and if they can rob Game 2 or 4 they can even make the Heat sweat a little. But in reality, unless Melo has the complete opposite game he had in Game 1 for 4 straight games, the Knicks have no chance of even winning one.
Oh, but Jeremy Lin could come back! All is well! Until people remember that Lin looked like a 6 year old in headlights the last time he played the Heat.
His majestic flop in Game 1 was a sight to behold. Just absolutely brilliant. Chandler made solid contact with him on that screen, but LeBron started flopping and wailing like he got shot in 3 different places. Just embarrassing.
Yeah, I likened it to collapsing like Chandler had just taken a baseball bat to the back of LeCon's neck.
Between that and his "omg he ran into me so hard I couldn't POSSIBLY keep my balance and stay inbounds" flop made me lose all the respect Lebron had earned back form me this year. He's still not likable, but I can respect a guy who comes out for 82 games and plays his ass off all in the face of thousands of people who genuinely don't like him, but do it like a man. LeCon continues to behave like a petulant child, and the pandering of refs and media alike to get on his good side is vomit-inducing.
The Knicks should have signed Charles Oakley for this series. The Oak Man would've watched that flop, tapped Mr. Potato Head (Mike Woodson), gone into the game, and then beheaded Lebron with a clothesline while muttering "...no that's how you flop, mawfucka...." before sauntering off the court to hop into Jordan's underground poker game that's likely being played under the rafters.
To be honest, I don't think the Rose injury completely ruins their chances. The Bulls for the most part played very well without him this year- their fantastic coaching, defense and rebounding are still there without him. I know they've already beaten Miami once without Rose, and just beat them by ten a few weeks ago in a game in which Rose shot 1-13 and scored 2 points.
Of course, Miami should probably be the favorite now to come out of the East and if I had to bet I'm sure I'd pick them, it's just I can't help but feel Rose is slightly overrated (and by that I mean he's easily a top 10 player but probably shouldn't win MVP ever as long as LeBron is playing like LeBron) while the rest of his team remains underrated.
Well looks like Amare is out for the next game. Pretty sure Heat can just sit Lebron the rest of this series. As much as I dislike the Heat, I do not see them losing to anyone.
Might want to rethink that award with the latest Amare news.
No, Amare still comes in behind Rondo.
Taking your anger out against a fire extinguisher, while still incredibly dumb, is smarter than taking it out on an official, he will be on thin ice for the rest of the playoffs, and when he faces suspensions in the future, this won't help his case. Also, the Celtics were not a huge stretch to make some noise in the playoffs, the Knicks never really had a chance. If Boston loses tonight, which I expect them to, I don't see them climbing out of an 0-2 hole against Atl.

they are both equally stupid IMO.
their idiotic actions will lead to the dismissal of both NY + BOS from the 1st round.
my guess is they both would've eventually lost the series had neither of these incidents occured and they weren't suspended.

So...uh...who's ready to watch Thunder vs. Heat at the sports bar on the farm? I thought the Thunder might be a year away from making the leap, but it looks like I was wrong. Unless Bynum completely blows up next round, it looks like it's happening.
Go C's, they're the only team that has a shot at beating the Heat.
I think the Pacers have a much better chance than anyone is giving them.
In March I sat in the Garden while Steve Novak lit the Pacers on fire, ate the hot coals, then pissed on the ashes he crapped out. Any team who lets Steve Novak face f*** 'em like that isn't legit in my book.
Basically, my entire issue wit the Pacers (who are a great team in every sense of the word)....they don't have "the guy." Danny Granger is not a top-tier elite star, as much as my fantasy team had hoped he would be. They don't have a guy who can say "**** it, there is NO WAY we're losing this game." C's have Rondo, Pierce and Garnett (a healthy Ray-Ray might be on that list, too) who can all win a game. Pierce is the crunch time cold-blooded killer, Garnett is the wiley veteran (and top 13 player of all time) who can dig deep and pull that old ability out in dire situations, and Rondo is just a lunatic.
Rondo is the key to beating the Heat, they don't have anyone who has a prayer of staying in front of him (unless they want to dedicate Wade to that role, which will get Wade a bunch of stupid fouls), and Rondo could be the best player on the court any given night. The Pacers simply don't have that ability. They're starting with the 3rd best player on the court, at best.
I can't believe I have to convince a C's fan of all of this, and I'm choking back vomit picking the lesser of two evils right now.

Lakers look like shit, although the chances of the Thunder hitting that many jump shots again is unlikely. The Lakers have a nice size advantage but they are too slow to get off the screens quick enough.
Boston-Philly is probably going to be a great series.
As expected, Irving wins Rookie of the Year. Even in Cleveland this guy played like an All Star, can't wait to see his game continue to grow. Plenty of naysayers thought Derrick Williams should've been the number 1 pick, but they were made fools a couple of weeks into the season.

other than my missed prediction of chicago making it to the conf. finals without rose, i'm impressed with my predictions. just sub out chicago for boston. or sub out chicago for philly and swap it to five games.

In the West, I have: Spurs, Clippers, Lakers, and Thunder.
Western Conference Finals: Spurs vs Thunder
In the East, I have: Bulls, Celtics, Pacers, and Heat.
Eastern Conference Finals: Heat vs. Celtics
NBA Finals: Thunder vs. Heat (Heat wins in six)
Nice job with the predictions! Who would have thought the 76ers could win, even against a battered Chicago? Personally, I think Heat win it in either 5 or 7. I for some reason cannot imagine them winning game 6

Thank you sir for your kind words. I still had Chicago over the 76ers because I figured if they could beat Miami twice without Derrick Rose, then why couldn't they beat Philadelphia?
I wonder if this makes me the Official 2012 Inforoo NBA Pick Em Champion?? That would be awesome if this were so
