I don’t know about you, but I cannot get enough of this Bulls/Celtics series! This is a first round match-up, and I feel like I’m watching game seven of the championship series every time these two teams take the court. It’s phenomenal Basketball.
A couple of posts ago I gave my NBA playoff picks, and I had Boston beating Chicago to move on to the second round. I have to be honest: I’m really pulling for the Bulls to take this round. I think that this Bulls team is the embodiment of why people love sports. They have the will, the desire, the heart, and the skill to take on the role of underdog, and eliminate the defending champions in the first round. What a story that would be. Chicago has not been an NBA contender since the days of Jordan and Pippen; and I think that this season marks the beginning of a new championship era in Bulls’ history.
People say, “Oh…well what about KG? If he were playing, Chicago wouldn’t have a chance.” To those I say, “Who cares.” The reality is this: Kevin Garnett is not playing, nor will he. On top of that, I don’t think that one player makes a championship team, and if Boston can’t win without him then they don’t deserve to make it past the first round. Championship rosters are deep, and when a star player falls there must be someone in that locker room to step up his game, and fill the void.
So, major props to the Bulls, and I am looking forward to the Bulls / Magic face-off (though if I were the Magic, I would be far more worried about matching up against Chicago than Boston).

I agree with this statement in reference to the bull's ,I want them to beat the Celtics.s. The magic have got their hands full with Philly,but Di Leo is now crying about Howard camping out in the lane.
ReplyDeleteI hope the NBA don't suspend Dwight for game 6. The elbow was accidental..If Philly wants to win the series they need not complain to get help from the Refs .Just play basketball
