NBA Playoffs Season 2014-2015

[Who]

I like Cleveland's energy more than Chicago's. Cavs ready to roar back into this. Chicago dropping off a bit after taking an early lead.

[SHAQATTACK]

Go bulls !


Go Rose !

[Who]

Surprising lineup for Cleveland

G: Kyrie
G: LeBron
F: Marion
F: Thompson
C: Mozgov

That is a lot of size 2 through 5. Surprised to see Thompson + Mozgov together because of their offensive limitations. Then throw Marion into the mix on the wing also. Very poor spacing for LeBron and Kyrie to have room to penetrate.

If the refs continue to let them play, chicago will destroy the cavs




But they won't let em play the whole series

But they won't let em play the whole series

Whole series? They've already stopped letting them play in the 2nd Qtr.

Whole series? They've already stopped letting them play in the 2nd Qtr.

There's nothing wrong with that, though.  "Letting them play" oftentimes just means "let them get away with clear fouls", i.e., breaking the rules.

Jimmy Butler is smooth. Well rounded scorer.

I don't understand D-Rose taking a pull up 3 off the dribble early in the shot-clock.

That is not his game.

If Bulls can't beat them before JR is back then they never will. These 2 games are their best shot at controlling this series. If I'm Thibs, I let my key players rest a lot first 3Q while LeBron and Kyrie get tired, then let them play the entire 4th. LBJ will be tired at the end and has missed fts or hasn't been as aggressive when he tires at times in his career. Take advantage of all the minutes they will need to play. I'd let Brooks and bench run them into the ground as long as the score is close.

The Cavs are without their starting 4 for the rest of the playoffs and their starting 2 for two games.  The Bulls, all things considered, are pretty healthy and have their entire roster in tact.

The Cavs have the best player in the world, I get that.  But when you line up these rosters side by side, the Bulls have as good, if not a better total roster.

The Bulls should win this series.  If they don't then they need to either blow that team up, or trade a major piece because if they can't win this series, then they've clearly maxed out and will never win a title with that core.

That's an easy goaltending call, but we had one in our series that was pretty clear that wasn't called either.

EDIT: And another blown call by the refs. Just another reason for coach's challenges.

[Who]

I hate these stoppages. Awful for the game. Let 'em play!

[GratefulCs]

Thats a goaltend



But not in lebroid's nba

Agreed -- Chicago gotta get at least one of these first two games with JR Smith out.

[Beat LA]

Crap, I've missed the first half.  Did Chicago get off to a good/great start?
