Noah is terrible.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Alright now please Clippers just end the Rockets. Save us from watching more of this embarrassment

 

[statham]

Nice job Cavs, finish it in game 6.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Both teams are limping and the Cavs have the best player in the league. Not really a surprise at all.

LeBron was 10 for 30 the last game the Cavs won, the other guys are hurting the Bulls just as well.

Shumpert actually resembles an offensive basketball player.

I guess the Knicks were holding back his talent.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

All that time left and down 2. Why go for 3??

They've been hitting clutch 3s all series, and all quarter. Can't say I blame them.

 

[grandjedi6]

That's the bottom line but here's the kicker:

They haven't played consistently ALL SEASON LONG.

They can beat Golden State in their home turf but can't put away the Bucks in the playoffs. SMH

 

[Banana Aeon]

I can't believe the Bulls are seriously about to lose a series to this limping Cavs team.

Thibs best prepare his resume.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

If the Bulls could just play more consistently this series would've been wrapped up already.

If they could just make open shots this game and last this series is done. But they can't, so they fall.

 

[alr1ght]

Cavs tried their hardest to give that one away. They can't just take off long stretches of games.

 

[blackaroni]

Alright now please Clippers just end the Rockets. Save us from watching more of this embarrassment

Ugh, agreed. Rockets are at home, so they don't have to worry about flying back or anything.

Edit: Why are we always cursed with hearing Reggie fucking Miller? We're already terrible...we don't need this shit too.

 

[Mxrz]

That washing machine Phil got has a racing stripe tho.

Two more games of this shit. There will probably be an OT in there just to spite us.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Welcome to My Hell.

LeBron was 10 for 30 the last game the Cavs won, the other guys are hurting the Bulls just as well.

My point still stands. The Cavs are expected to win this series. The moment Gasol went down thwy became the favorite.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Nice job Cavs, finish it in game 6.

Yep Yep! Get all the hurt guys that extra rest would be great

 

[SyenceLabb]

I'm hoping for a D. Howard meltdown if they lose big.

 

[J2 Cool]

Haven't been in this thread but goddamn that taj call

 

[alr1ght]

So...will McHale do the same shit this game?

 

[BadAss2961]

LeBron was 10 for 30 the last game the Cavs won, the other guys are hurting the Bulls just as well.

It's always the role players that beat the Bulls more so than LeBron.

Anyway, Gasol has to play game 6. Don't care how bad that hammy is.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Cavs tried their hardest to give that one away. They can't just take off long stretches of games.

After the whole Delly-Gibson thing, Cavs took noting but 20 foot jumpers for like 6 minutes. It was fucking stupid. I agree they can't do that anymore.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

My point still stands. The Cavs are expected to win this series. The moment Gasol went down thwy became the favorite.

Gasol was the key piece getting the Bulls over the hump and it's sad to see that we won't even know if he'd matter.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Dwight with his first personal 20 seconds into the game.

lmao gtfo rockets

 

[MetalFearSolid]

20 seconds in and Dwight picks up a foul. This dude will never win shit.

 

[MechDX]

Welp.....rockets game over

Dagger

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Haven't been in this thread but goddamn that taj call

Don't fret, dude!!!

The absolutely pointless transparency report will show that it should have been a technical on the chihuaha and that he SHOULD have been sent back to the kennel.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Gasol was the key piece getting the Bulls over the hump and it's sad to see that we won't even know if he'd matter.

I'm sure Kevin Love feels awful for him.

 

[Mxrz]

Maybe the Rockets will trade Dwight back to the Magic for cap relief.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I'm sure Kevin Love feels awful for him.

Kevin Love under this coaching staff is basically James Jones.

 

[friskykillface]

All that time left and down 2. Why go for 3??

Thibs

that Butler fade away 3 when down 2 was amazing, so dumb

 

[shwimpy]

This is some ugly ass basketball.

 

[SyenceLabb]

Kevin Love under this coaching staff is basically James Jones.

Relax.

 

[timetokill]

This game is fucking ugly as shit so far

 

[eBay Huckster]

Kevin Love under this coaching staff is basically James Jones.

Kevin Love under Thibodeau would have been out for the season with an ACL injury sometime in March.

His shot distance isn't too different from 2013-14, his percentages on 2 days of rest aren't too different from 2013-14, but you watched 5 Cavs games with him all season so you're an expert.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Harden needs to take the freaking easy bucket. Drive in and draw contact.

 

[Mr. Sunny]

Between games 4 & 5 I feel too disgusted to even watch game 6. If the Cavs somehow fuck up and lose, I might consider watching game 7. For real though, I just want this series to be over already, too stressful. Be gentle, Lebrawn........finish us

 

[blackaroni]

Thank you Reggie for that knowledge right there.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Thibs

that Butler fade away 3 when down 2 was amazing, so dumb

Only thing I can come up with is that they were trying to "steal" the game and/or go for a 2 for 1.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

well that was much more exciting than it needed to be but very glad for the win. If CHI can be us 2 straight I'll tip my hat to the better team.

Was hoping for a 15 point win but then I realized it doesn't matter how big the margin is against Chicago. They're not the Rockets; they're a very resilient team mentally. If nothing else, Thibs is good for that.

 

[Tekniqs]

lol Blake traveling all over the place

There's a reason the Cavaliers are genuinely concerned Love will bolt after the season.

Spin it like LeBron, he's not happy there no matter how much the fans pretend how much they love him.

 

[eBay Huckster]

There's a reason the Cavaliers are genuinely concerned Love will bolt after the season.

And the latest "reason" you've latched onto is Adrian Wojnaroski's Sheridan-tier speculation.

He would actually have to be mentally deficient to sign elsewhere after this season (2016-17 is a different story) and I'm not worried about that.

 

[TheSadRanger]

all these bricks in this game

 

[alr1ght]

New CBA goes into effect after next season. Nobody is opting out after this season. Maybe his agent is a dumb dumb, though.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

And the latest "reason" you've latched onto is Adrian Wojnaroski's Sheridan-tier speculation.

He would actually have to be mentally deficient to sign elsewhere after this season judging from every other team's cap situation, and judging from the amount of money he'd be giving up in anything but a trade followed by an extension.

I expect him to stay with the Cavaliers, he'll be content with being the third(or fourth or fifth) wheel if he gets money and has a chance to win.

I just can tell he's not happy in the situation but he chased after championships without considering anything else so I can't sympathize.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Sager looking good. Hope he makes a good recovery.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Sager looking good. Hope he makes a good recovery.

I heard his cancer came back, is he doing well again???

 

[eBay Huckster]

Believe me, he's the third wheel when healthy.

Spoiler

The issue is that he never was this year.

We're acting like he wasn't a 17/10 man, tho. If/when he finally finds a more confident place in the offense and leans how to play efficient ball off LBJ and Irving, he'll get to enjoy the easiest points of his fuckin life.

 

[alr1ght]

They just interviewed him at the Rockets/Clips game. I guess he's starting his new round of chemo tomorrow.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Dang. Craig looks really thin . Poor guy.

 

[lovely ladies]

I bet Drexler thinks the Rockets are up 3-1 in this series.
