The Basketball Diaries - False Hope

Chicago Bulls 102 Detroit Pistons 87

This might be considered blasphemous to some, but I kinda wish the Bulls had lost yesterday. They aren't going to win this series but now there's that thought in my head: "What if?" What if the Bulls win Game 5? Then they come back to Chicago and win Game 6, and it's winner take all in Game 7! It's not going to happen, but now I'm going to have to watch one more game thinking we have a chance. They don't. It was nice to see that the Bulls have some pride and kept themselves from getting swept, but really it just seemed like the Pistons took the day off yesterday.

Utah Jazz 115 Golden State Warriors 101

Right now the Warriors are Christopher Moltisanti and the Jazz are Tony Soprano holding his nose waiting for him to choke on his own blood. Much like I said about a week and a half ago, their 8-man rotation is catching up to Golden State, and they're getting tired. They can't stop Carlos Boozer, and they can't rebound. All they can do at this point is keep chucking up threes and hoping they'll go in. Yet even when they do, they can't really pull away from the Jazz. It sucks, because I wanted this series to go seven games, but it's going to end on Tuesday in Salt Lake City.
