Nets with a chance to even the series against ATL. With the way Washington's playing, there's a chance Atlanta might not even get to the ECF.

Mayo's been extremely physical on defense all series and he's more or less gotten away with it. It's not hard to play lock-down defense when you can get away with physical contact.

Sweet, now I can go watch the Bulls game without interruption.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 05:15 PM) Kevin Love ruled out for the 2nd round, not sure if that helps Bulls any.. I'm interested to see how many games JR Smith will be suspended. If they lose JR and Love for more than 2 games, it gives the Bulls a good chance at winning the series. Without JR and Love, they won't be able to stretch the floor as well. The Cavs' crazy 3 point shooting has helped them win against the Bulls this year.

So there's 600 fans in the park and it's an hour before game time. Yeah...they shouldn't play.

It's hard to make a decision on how good someone is defensively when we're only 17 games in. The sample size is way too small. That said, Avi is awful in RF.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 07:53 PM) Nothing official yet. But I'm hearing/reading Love could miss at least two weeks. This combined with what will no doubt be at least a 1-game suspension for (what a f***ing idiot) J. R. Smith gives the Bulls absolutely no excuse not to beat Cleveland. Depends on how dislocated his shoulder is, but most dislocated shoulders heal in 4-6 weeks.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) J4L's life Random Thursday Night *watching TNT* *X player has great game* "X player is best player in the game today" Next Thursday *watching TNT* *Y player has great game* "Y player is unstoppable, he is the greatest in the game ever!" Next Thursday *watches Bulls game on TNT* *Butler has great game* *silence* "The 90s were terrible!" Sounds about right.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 10:39 PM) and fastballs So you're saying he can't hit anything?

In other news, Flowers is still susceptible to off-speed pitches.

Screw you and your bunts Robin.

Alexei's trying to go yard.

Madson's thrown two absolute cookies and all we did was foul them off. Sigh...

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 10:28 PM) I'm happy Abreu didn't shatter his ankle. Great defensive game by him. I was a bit worried on that really dumb steal of second as well. He had to hook the back with his foot and something bad could have happened.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 10:21 PM) He actually played a good game in Game 2 as well. Even though his shot wasn't falling, he had 9 assists and 7 rebounds IIRC to go with 15pts. Yeah he didn't have a good shooting night, but his overall offensive game was decent.

Nice job by Jose.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) Ventura vs Trout, Ventura vs Lawrie, and now Ventura vs Eaton. Ridiculous At least he picked a fight he can possibly win this time around. Trout and Lawrie would make sure he's on the DL for at least 2 weeks.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) Yahoo Sports Update on my phone: "Five ejected as Royals get involved in yet another brawl" lol At this rate, it can be the other team's fault and the Royals would still be blamed. They're a brawl waiting to happen.

Why do we swing at so many crappy pitches?

I don't think there's enough evidence to overturn.

Good to see Rose play well in 2 out of the 3 games. Milwaukee's defense is actually decent too. Good signs.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) Exactly, and since he incited the whole thing, I'll be mighty pissed if Shark gets a longer suspension. Shark was being an idiot by instigating a fight with Cain. He deserves at least 6 games. Ventura deserves the same.

Oh come on Melky...you're supposed to be good at hitting ground balls to the left side.

Ventura needs to be disciplined somehow. He gets into it with someone every time he's out there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 02:14 PM) It amazes me that people are giving more credence to 3 starts versus the first 3 years of his career. I'm worried he's hurt. His velocity's been subpar.
