Pacers were the only team in the Conference to dump the Bulls this season. Bulls take this in 5.

sweep, maybe 5....maybe

 

[Bear Pand]

Sweep.

Pacers got like the worst attendance in the league + with them being so close to Chicago a ton of Bulls fans gonna be in there. No HFA at all. Plus Pacers only losing team in the playoffs.

ILLUSIONS OF GRANGER

bulls in 6

 

[Rush]

Derrick Rose and the holy triumvirate will rape and pillage.

 

[Woy]

The real MVP, Tyler Hansbrough, leads the Pacers to the next round.

 

[Hasselbeck]

It's nice to see Indiana back in the playoffs, but I'd be shocked if they won more than 1 game.

Bulls in 5

 

[zack54attack]

Derrick Rose puts the team on his back though...

 

[Gonzo]

I can't say I'm happy about the loss...it was a very disappointing way to lose...

But all things considered, these guys really surprised me. I was shocked to see them maintain a lead late into the second half, proud even - but that meltdown in the final 3 minutes was ridiculous. Anyways, solid performance for 45 minutes, Hansbrough looked GREAT, even after getting shaken up.

 

[manchild24]

listened to the game on the XM on my way to work and I didnt get to see it because the Direct TV was out with the massive storm we had all day. had to watch score refreshes on my phone.

Derrick Rose is a real fucking nigga

 

[guchi45]

Rose is a damn baller, that aint going to be a faller. He shoots 3s and he get's Bs. He fly solo while he a fucking a chick on a polo. Fast dont lie but he always wear a tie. Rose always gon get them hoes. So at the end of the day, nothing more to say, just let it be, Rose is the MVP!

After game 1, there's no way the Pacers take a game after still losing while playing their best basketball.

 

[manchild24]

Did anyone see in the second period, there was 5 yes 5 and Im not counting the refs on the court at one time. Dont care if two were foreign.

Off-topic, but you were a Cards fan just a year ago and now you have that disgusting Cubs icon under your stats...what gives?

 

[Bear Pand]

Interested in seeing what happens in game 3. Do the Pacers just give up now? What % of the fans will be bulls supporters?

Still think it'll be a sweep.

A sweep would be nice, but Id like to see us lose 1 after we are up 3-0 just to know us down a peg and a little reality check
