GT: Chicago Bulls (37-22) vs. the Los Angeles Clippers (38-21)

Gotta give it up to Paul, proving that he's still elite since BG's gone down. Disappointing loss, but Mirotic's play is a good sign. **** Gasol and Hinrich though.

Good effort but with Butler, Rose and Taj out we had no shot against a very talented Clippers squad.

[Fudge]

How is Aaron Brooks still in the league? Dude is fcking awful.

[Young X]

Doc is gonna wait until the Clippers bench goes down 10 to bring their starters back in. No way LAC is winning this.

I was wrong.

[J Shuttlesworth]

What great games by CP3/Jordan. Jesus

Curry is obviously having the better season, but I'm still taking Paul over any PG today.

I need to see what the other PGs do this postseason before changing my mind.

Bulls are not going to win any games shooting 31% at home. And people acting like Rose didn't make a difference...

Yup. Without Rose CHI seems destined to be the #4 seed. The Bulls won't be able to keep up with CLE or TOR. Fortunately, the Wizards are flaming out and that should at least preserve HCA for the first round.

What has Paul done in the playoffs so otherworldly to earn him that distinction despite having a worse season? Curry outplayed him last postseason, and would've beaten him if Bogut wasn't out. And Westbrook outplayed him and beat him in the 2nd round. CP3 is pretty clearly top 3 right now but he hasn't done anything to warrant being a benefit of the doubt #1 even when players are outplaying him a la Lebron last couple seasons or Kobe before that.
