    Naw it wasn't that bad, he only grabbed his arm with both his hands and cranked on his shoulder to stop him. Happens all the time.

    Good game in Brooklyn.

    If these playoffs have showed me anything, it's that the East isn't nearly as bad as people claim, and the West isn't nearly as good as they claim either.
  • Mulva
    The Hawks have been pathetic.

    Lol you say that every year

    Because the west is over hyped every year by the media. Most of those teams don't play a lick of defense, which you have to do in the playoffs.

    Giannis is so damn long.

    DRose getting it done again when it counts, dude has maybe the worst tunnel vision since Iverson.

    How do you prove they aren't playing a lick of defense? The west doesn't but the Raptors and Celtics did? The best team in the conference just gave up 120 points to the worst.

    Watch the damn games for starters. Most of those teams aren't good defensively, they play up tempo and are fun to watch and are good offensively.

    Wow these Bulls are sure as shit world beaters. I'm really shaking in my boots. LOL

    Well when you have any type of logic or statistics to back it up other than you've played and watched a ton of basketball for 75 years and that trumps everything else, let me know.

    10-41 combined for Rose and Butler, oof

    It's just an observation, if you can't tell a difference between watching the Bucks vs Bulls and the Rockets vs the Mavs then I don't know what to tell you.

    Don't forget to leave out the 6 TO's by rose.

    The Warriors are a top 3 defensive team from what I watched this year.

    Just cause you play fast paced doesnt mean you dont play defense.

    Talking about as a whole, yes GS is a good defensive team. Memphis is as well as the Spurs. My point is that the West is overhyped, mostly because of the style they play imo. Doesn't translate to playoff success typically imo.

    Two assists too! Rose has never been the guy that the media wants/makes him out to be.
  • Mulva


    The West went 263-187 against the East this year. 58.4%. But you probably couldn't tell that by watching the games.

    Good post, but that doesn't have anything to do with a style of play translating to the playoffs.
  • robj55
    For the record I'm not saying the West isn't great, it is, but it's over hyped by the media and the East is consistently undersold. The West is the better conference with better talent.
  • Footwedge
    Yeah Rose is a very over rated point guard. Cavs will be a huge favorites in the next round...at least 4 to 1. Even w/out Love and JR for 2 games.

    Offensive efficiency top 10: West 6, East 4
    Defensive efficiency top 10: West 5, East 5

    I don't think there's any such thing as a conference style of play. The west has 4 of the top 5 teams in pace, but also 3 of the bottom 5.

    I'm not saying I'm right, just an observation I've had over the last few years.
