Western Conference Finals, Game 3

Dallas 93 Oklahoma City 87

Dallas leads series 2-1.

The Mavs bench responds to OKC in Game 3 and gives Dallas a huge lead, but the Thunder comeback falls just short.

Eastern Conference Finals, Game 3

Chicago 85 Miami 96

Miami leads series 2-1.

The vaunted Bulls defense had no answer for Chris Bosh, who had a monster game, scoring 34 points, while LeBron James added 22 points. Carlos Boozer came alive for the Bulls, scoring 26 points, but Derrick Rose had another subpar game, scoring 20 points but on only 8 for 19 shooting and only 5 assists.

Bulls lack of a serious 2-guard is killing them. Aside from Rose, no one can get his own shot. Rose has to set everybody up - tough to do against this Miami defense.

During the off-season, they should go after Wilson Chandler with a vengeance.

Wonder if they could use Ben Gordon?

The Bulls were 2 busy paying Kirk Hinrich 2 pay Gordon.........so he walked and they got nothing in return. A year later they gave away Hinrich 2 clear cap space. What bunch of clowns in the Bulls fron office. Executive of the Year my a@s.

Dallas will need to step up their game if they want to win this series!

Let's face it game 1: OKC was just off. they lost game 2 and barley held on in game 3.

I would not be at all surprised if OKC took this series in 6.

OKC got pounded on the boards, committed 26 turnovers and couldn't close the deal late in regulation. They've got the talent, but not the experience. Dallas has the battle-tested veterans in Kidd, Dirk and Marion.

Western Conference Finals, Game 4

Dallas 112 Oklahoma City 105 F/OT

Dallas leads series 3-1.

The Thunder led by 15 points with just under five minutes to play before James Harden fouled out of the game. This would lead to a monumental collapse, as the Mavs stormed back to tie the game and send it into overtime. Then Jason Kidd hits a huge three point shot to put Dallas ahead for good.

What a comeback by Dallas. Beig from Houston and a Rocket fan, I hate the Mavericks. But out of all the teams left, I guess I want them to win more (don't really want them to win though they broke my heart in 2005.)

Yep, the old guys getting it done. Kidd's 3, Marion's defense on Kevin Durant, and Dirk playing like I've never seen him.

Rose looks worn down. As I've been saying since Ben Gordon left, these games will come down 2 having a real NBA 2 guard that can hit some shots...............and guess what, that has happened.

Miami has and will continue 2 contain Rose, but unlike Dallas and OKC, Rose has not a single player that he can rely on EVERY night. The Bulls do not play entertaining basketball. It's ugly 2 watch and quite frankly they don't deserve it 2 be in the Finals.

The Bulls style of play can win in the regular season but when teams can adjust 2 that style it won't work long term. They have struggled in almost every game of the playoffs. That should tell u something and it's LOUD and clear.

I just hope that Gar/Par don't get overly in love with that Executive of the Year award as anyone with eyes can see that this NBA roster has more holes than Swiss cheese.

The Bulls need: a real NBA 2 guard, a low post scorer, a power forward who can finish and a small forward who can dribble and get his own shot.

Better luck next year. (the Cubs motto)

Im-PED-iment: As for the Bulls' other controversy, CBSSports.com reported ESPN The Magazine stands behind its representation of Rose's answer to a question about performance-enhancing drug use in the NBA.

The magazine told the website that a "contributing writer" asked Rose six months ago to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 how big the problem was in his sport, with the magazine reporting Rose said "seven." Rose said he did not remember the interview and claimed he must have misunderstood the question.

Why the hell are they talking about this now if it happened 7 months ago?

Yeah I didn't know what the hell kind of plays he was setting up. Miami caught that mistake over and over again.

Right, it was like they were just throwing anything that stuck. And I don't know what type of shots Derrick Rose was shooting. confused
