With the impending JR suspension, I'm actually expecting to see more of the Corpse Crew than I ever wanted to.
(I'm gonna lose my shit if Love pulls a 2012 Bosh and comes back halfway through the ECF, assuming Cleveland actually gets there.)
No Love, no ring for Lebron, though he should have no problem getting to the finals.
If he gets less than 5 games, then the Cleveland to the finals fix is in.

JR suspended for two games, Olynyk for one and Perk is fined $15k.
Yet they still only gave JR two games. Despicable.

Pretty much everyone called JR getting off easy.

Fix status: confirmed.
If it was the regular season JR would get 5. Nobody wants to see the champs determined via injuries and suspensions.
Yeah, losing Olynyk for next year's regular season games does nothing. He should get 5.

I call on all of you to boycott the playoffs. 2 games for JR is a slap in the face of decency!

If they make it to the NBA Finals, he might be able to come back.
Kevin Love isn't garbage, but the Cavs have made Kevin Love look like a joke.
As for Bosh, his first year with Miami was one of his best years with the Heat. You could argue he had the second biggest impact for Miami in the NBA Finals that year, only behind D Wade.

"without any detailed basis"
So did I just hallucinate Bosh complaining about not having enough post touches toward the end of that first season (which is more than All-Star Kevin Love has done in calendar year 2015)?
He had no priors so the league showed leniency.
Unreal. What a joke league.

Yep, called the two game suspension for JR. Hurts the Cavs a lot as they could potentially lose home court without him.

From the games I have seen, the Cavs barely run any offense through Love, and they keep him on or near the 3point line. I also watched them keep him on the bench in the 4th quarter of at least one close game.
While Bosh was misused and disrespected, it's nothing compared to Kevin Love. If he has any sense of pride, he will be out of there at the end of the season.
It's hard for me to call Bosh mis-used when it led to two championships and 4 finals appearances.
Excuse me, sir. This is NBA GAF, where we only allow unsupported opinions.

Fuckinf Pero is a liability on the offensive end. Has been all season.
Problem is with Sefo out he's gonna play like it or not.

He's used as a floor spacer with occasional postups. Cavs have two of the best penetrators in the league in Lebron and Kyrie. Pick and roll, drive and kick is what they do. If Kevin still thought he'd get his 25+ a night with Lebron and Kyrie, well he should have thought things through.

Jarrett Jack is so much better than D Will at this point it's comical. It's also comical that the Nets coaching staff doesn't see it and still start Williams over Jack.

As a Nets season ticket holder let me be the first to say Fuck Brooklyn fans.
I would rather see Moose over Pero.

Is that official? JR Smith gets two games while Olynyk gets one game?
Okay, the Olynyk move is a basketball move. It had an unfortunate outcome, but I wouldn't ban him for it. It's a move that happens all the time. If you want to give him a game, though, I can understand that. That seems appropriate given the circumstances even though I wouldn't personally punish him in any way. But to sit there and give him one less game than you give JR for intentionally, maliciously clocking a dude in the fucking jaw and injuring his knee in the process is fucked up. You can't sit there and adjudge them to be similar levels of offense, particularly with JR's history. Fuck that.
Edit: Also give Perkins a game. What the Hell is wrong with you?

Y'all mad.
But I am surprised Olynyk got a game. I don't think it was clear-cut to be malicious. Maybe a fine.
Speaking of... Perkins, keepcashing writing them checks.

Not a knock on Jr cause he's the homie, but I get 1game for pushing someone! Let me take a swing w/a closed fist. NBA picks & chooses #joke
Give Barnes a game for this tweet while you're at it.

I don't know the Bulls well so I can't answer the other questions, but in my opinion the Cavs and Bulls series will be physical and the refs will allow it. Noah and them have a history with playing Bron that way and given how lopsided their frontcourts are in Chicago's favor, it's to their benefit to keep it physical. Perkins, as much of a joke as I think he is, will give the Bulls some back. It'll probably get pretty heated especially as the Cavs start losing.

I really hope we get a replacement for Pau in the offseason. He has been nothing but worthless this entire series.

This Bulls team really plays below their talent. I feel like Lebron, Kyrie, Mozgov and two guys slinging nachos from the stands could beat them right now.
I feel the same about the Cavs. It's gonna be a good series.
I'm a Knicks fan. 94' Knicks stand up. Fuck you Starks. You killed a 9 years olds dreams.

Man I'm done with the bucks lol. You can't make a pass with these long arm fuckers sheesh. If the Bulls win tonight cavs defense is going to be like a breath of fresh air.
