Bulls slowly inching back...

 

[UnObtainium17]

Mozgov probably has the worst hands fpr a big man ive ever seen. Its like perkins tier hands.

 

[alr1ght]

Just get hurt too Kyrie.

 

[Mxrz]

Whole lot of people not named LeBron handling the ball there.

 

[alr1ght]

Groin strain. Probable return.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Great half, Go Cavs!

 

[BadAss2961]

Game's over. They're setting up Shumpert to be the hero in the 4th.

 

[Vinsanity.]

Was that Dog the Bounty Hunter sitting behind Marv and Chris?

Willis Reed wannabee.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Lol that gibson out of bounds not calles

Edit oh wait hes not

 

[BadAss2961]

Ugh, these foul calls.

 

[Tom Penny]

So what are Bulls fans excuse this game for testicleless Rose with zero FT attempts taking a bunch of jumpers?

 

[hwalker84]

We can't buy a bucket

He never gets calls when driving to the basket. Never did. No clue why.

Thibs plz. Sit the starters.

 

[Mxrz]

Pau being a bull is still so odd.

 

[Tom Penny]

You're watching different games then me if you think Rose has been driving to the basket in games 1 and 2. He playing like a bitch while Butler has actual balls.

 

[panthapanda]

Nothing to see here folks.

 

[BadAss2961]

He's driven to the basket a number of times but usually to no avail. Either he makes a layup, gets blocked, or is hacked with no call.

Since he doesn't get calls, I don't mind Rose not going to the rim so much anymore. The offense runs best when he's driving and kicking.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I know Bulls fan will say they'll be happy with a split, and honestly, they should. However, this was a chance to put their foot on the Cavs throats and make it extremely hard to come back 0-2 going back to Chicago.

Getting J.R. back is gonna be huge, Bulls better be ready these next two games.

 

[Vinsanity.]

if the Bulls from Game1 played the Cavs from Game2, who wins?

Honestly a lot more confident that Cleveland wins the series after this game, not (just) because of how well they played but because Rose/Butler are gonna get run ragged at this point and Thibs apparently insists on playing >30 minutes of Noah

 

[BlackGhost]

You would think the Cavs would at least get playoff shirts for the fans, shit looks broke as hell

They gave some out Monday night, would have been nice to have something for tonight too though

It was never going to be that easy. Cavs just showed why they're still the favorites.

Getting J.R. back doesn't really add anything, since his replacement shot lights out in these 2 games. If anything, you should be worried he steals Shumpert's shots and goes cold.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Damn Luck got dunked on

Rose is taking the most shots and they are low percentage and he was pulling them out of his ass game 1 and it's not a problem lol This series will be over in 5 if he keeps it up.

I'm thinking Shump starts next two games because LeBron is probably still pissed the fuck off at J.R. for his selfishness, but his defense and extra shooting will make a difference

 

[BadAss2961]

Niko needs his minutes.

Some Nazr wouldn't hurt considering how bad Noah's playing.

Tristan Thompson needs to get bitched. Stop letting him make a difference.

 

[alr1ght]

Cavs shot like shit in game 1, Bulls shot like shit in game 2. I don't know what to think.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Well Lebron was on another level. Just ridiculous

 

[eBay Huckster]

Cavs shot like shit in game 1, Bulls shot like shit in game 2. I don't know what to think.

If I was a betting man I'd expect the rest of the series to trend closer to Game 2, particularly if we see "shuts the fuck up and plays" JR and not "post-Love injury Game 4" JR.

Rose is gonna keep shooting like shit on 1-day rest and Pau/Dunleavy ain't gonna be on fire like they were for so much of Game 1

 

[UnObtainium17]

"game time decision." Jnc.

 

[Mxrz]

Its a game of count the former Magic players.

 

[Kacar]

Think both team shooting will level out. But LeBron should tip the overall scales the the Cavs side.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

The east is shit?

I still don't think the Cavs are good enough defensively to consistently shut down the Bulls.

 

[eBay Huckster]

I'm thinking they'll do just well enough on that end to let Thibodeau's incapability to use his bench properly do the rest

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I still don't think the Cavs are good enough defensively to consistently shut down the Bulls.

Their defense will be better with Smith back, and LeBron and Kyrie can still go super saiyan at any point.

I've felt all along Cavs would lose one of these two but I feel pretty good that they'll take it in 6 or 7.

 

[Kacar]

Big baby is an alley oop dummy on D


Wow Blake.

Smith is a better defender than Shumpert...

 

[Starphoenix]

Hey Doc, start hacking Howard or Smith.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Smith is a better defender than Shumpert...

Where did I say exactly that?

Collectly as a unit the Cavs D will be stronger. Smith has a knack for steals and would much rather have him out there than guys like Jones and Miller.

Hey Doc, start hacking Howard or Smith.

Jesus that's the last thing we need, back and forth Hack a Howard and Jordan.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Hey Doc, start hacking Howard or Smith.

Hahaha

Don't even discuss the possibility

 

[Starphoenix]

Hahaha

Don't even discuss the possibility

Well it's shown to take them out of rhythm.

 

[greatestjediever]

Hey big baby, don't drive. You can't jump and get blocked by everyone. Just shoot it.

 

[Two Words]

Wow, Corey Brewer must weigh like 80 lbs.


Edit: Good lord, these refs are acting like the Rocket's overprotective boyfriend or something.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Thats 5k on brewer

 

[greatestjediever]

Lol Blake 5/8, rest of Clippers 3/16.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Good start. Hope we can keep the lead

Spoiler

Because I've seen the Rockets lose good 1st Quarter leads far too often
