Mhmm I don't think so... It doesn't even matter because Chicago won't make the playoffs and if they do it will be as the 8th seed and they would end up playing Cleveland lol.

They are currently the 8th seed, 1 game behind the pacers who are inconsistent. The bulls are making the playoffs and they can definitely make sure they stay a 7th seed.

If Toronto Chicago match up happens we bet 100 dollars I take Raps you take Chicago we'll see how it goes down.

When you lose you're money I'll even give you a shot to win it back when Toronto plays Cleveland in the Conference Finals.

Sure, I'll pm you the contract with details if it happens.

Lol Boston is so bad teams getting exposed this time of year.

I'd be down to have a friendly bet on this too^^

They're missing Jae Crowder who is pivotal for them both on offense and defense.

*on whether the Bulls make the playoffs or not, and if you want on whether they'll reach up to the 8th seed

Why would I bet on that? That's retarded.

I got that impression from the conviction you said this with. My bad if I misinterpreted it, I guess

Cleveland is soooooooooo garbage

 

Cleveland is soooooooooo garbage

They always struggle in Miami. They just couldn't make shots, hence the score.

Shiiit toronto can actually come first now... I wouldn't mind cleveland Finishing second and Miami coming third for a heat cleveland second round that would be nice

"just"

making shots is the whole idea of basketball, yes

 

[briantir]

Spurs did it they contained curry and won.... let's see if they can do it over a series though I think that will prove to be much harder.

SA to Golden State - get the fuck outta ma court.

The playoffs should be interesting, thank god Golden State didn't blow them outta their home court like they did with every other team. This season was getting boring.

 

[uJesternWind]

Honestly that sort of just confirms that GS will blow out al the other teams in a playoff series at least for me. Curry/Klay going a combined 2/19 behind the arc, Bogut missing, 2nd night of a back to back, and still the Warriors almost took it.

What purpose does this comment have?

You can have conviction about something and not bet on it. The bulls aren't my team so I'm not going to bet on something trivial in support of them. If you want to bet on a bulls vs raptors matchup if it happens (highly plausible), then I'd agree to that.

They aren't blowing out all other teams in the playoffs. If the playoffs started today, they would be playing Mavericks who play competitively against them and haven't been "blown out" in a series this season. After the first round, the likely hood of them blowing out anyone dramatically decreases. They may sweep a particular team, but how they win won't be easy.

To highlight the absolute ridiculousness of it. Saying they lost because they didn't make shots is like saying a soccer team lost because they didn't score goals. What's the point of making that comment in the first place?

Fair enough, even so I don't see how it would be "retarded" to bet on something you're pretty sure of, regardless of whether they're your team or not but it doesn't really matter, whatever. Yeah I'll take you up on the Bulls/Raptors bet if/when it happens, always will take a chance to support the home team lol even if its the Leafs

Well this season they've lost to GS by 23, 20, and 18 points, no matter how competitive it is fact remains that at least for the first round they will sweep, at very least drop only 1 game. In the 2nd and 3rd round (assuming Clippers and Spurs) of course it'll get more competitive, both of these teams have played very well against the Warriors. The game yesterday was not the Spurs' best show of what they could do though, and have to be better in the playoffs when Bogut is healthy and LMA can't go grabbing every board. What annoyed me that game is that regardless of injuries the Warriors work so well together they could probably have gotten open threes if they didn't burn thorugh the clock and barf up 35 footers every possession. But hey it is what it is

How is that ridiculous? Logically speaking, if one team can't score, and the other team can't miss, the team that can't score will most likely lose the game. Cavs usually lose, mostly by a large margin, because they either can't make shots, or struggle defensively. This was a mixture a both, but more so offensively, disregarding Lebron of course.

I'm not going to bet on something trivial as a standing position, that's retarded. A matchup is more plausible by and large. I'll bet $100 that the bulls beat the raptors. I'll send you the contract as well if it happens.

This season, they only loss to golden state twice so far. The latest game between them was very competitive due to Mavs going small (no zaza), but the game pretty much ended with golden state continuously going to the line, even though it was a 5 point game for the majority of the 4th. Again, my point was they won't blowing out teams in the playoffs.

I think Chicago will finish 7th and toronto will match cleveland but be first because toronto has the tie breaker I see raptors either playing Detroit or Indiana I would hope for Detroit but we should take any of those teams because the raptors haven't lost consistently this season they won't falter during the playoffs this year and once the team is 100% healthy I believe they going to the finals
