[Muser]

Sweep, IMO.

[bostonguy]

Cavs win easily tonight and wrap it up Sunday afternoon.

[oh crap]

rooting for the bulls to pull one out. that said, this series is most likely a sweep.

[JoeTait75]

The Bulls have pride. This game won't be easy IMO.

[Express-News]

Bulls win ...... and the Queen gets exposed.

[hitmanyr2k]

The good old days when the shoe was on the other foot :lol

Cavs had their chance at beating Chicago in 1988 and '89. By '92 the Bulls were physically dominant over them. Chicago KILLED the Cavs on the offensive boards in that ECF.

[Ethan Hunt]

Let me tell you what's gonna happen tonight. The Cavaliers stayed in the Drake Hotel last night. Someone on that fucking team is a mole, and will have a piss poor performance on the floor tonight. By the end of the night, their team will be DEAD!

[An Unbiased Fan]

Bulls win tonight, if Deng shows up.

[AussieFanKurt]

Cavs to be given every call and sweep or maybe 4-1 so it doesnt look too suss

[hitmanyr2k]

Bulls win tonight, if Deng shows up.

So far, so good.

[hitmanyr2k]

Rose has come to play tonight. Lebron is ball-hoggin which plays into the Bulls hands...no one else involved for the Cavs.

[BanditHiro]

Bulls win ...... and the Queen gets exposed.

he will never get exposed he will always play great but his role player are still not that great when it comes to the playoffs.

[hitmanyr2k]

The hell is wrong with Murray? He should have dunked on Z's head. You know he's not gonna jump.

[oh crap]

wowza.. bulls up by 16

[hitmanyr2k]

The Bulls need to keep running and have a speedy tempo. They're not going to keep knocking down jumpshots all game. Gotta get some easier buckets.

On a side note TNT needs to ditch the fuckin shitty camerawork where they switch to a closeup a half second before the dunk.

[hitmanyr2k]

And for fuck's sake why did we have to get Reggie Miller and his crackly, prepubescent voice?

[ffadicted]

On a side note TNT needs to ditch the fuckin shitty camerawork where they switch to a closeup a half second before the dunk.

Agree completely, I'm still pissed at the fact they did that in that beastly Rose dunk a couple games ago

also, LMAO @ the Lakers not wanting to trade Adam Morrison and Derek Fisher for Hinrich :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon Deng, at least try a pumpfake and drive. It's all jumpshots with him.

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol :lol Thanks Shaq

And what the hell is with the Bulls and all these long jumpshots? No one is going to the rim anymore.

[TheManFromAcme]

:lol @ shaq missing dunk

[djohn2oo8]

Watching the draft, but i looked at the boxscore, WTF is going on?

[ffadicted]

lol Shaq looked like he travelled there tbh

[oh crap]

bulls looking good but need to keep a comfortable lead

[TheManFromAcme]

Miller time

[TheManFromAcme]

bron rejected!

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Man, this series has two of the ugliest big men in the league today in Noah and Varejao.

[oh crap]

seeing lebronze's cavs choke is almost as fun as watching the mavs lose last night

[hitmanyr2k]

Jamison looks like he's shooting with his eyes closed tonight :lol

[LoneStarState'sPride]

lol @ Noah fixing his hair in the middle of game play. Does he always do that?

[hitmanyr2k]

lol @ Noah fixing his hair in the middle of game play. Does he always do that?

Yes. He reminds me of Steve Nash always wiping his hair out of his face. So feminine :lol

[ffadicted]

Despite the boasted roster, Cavs aren't looking like half the team they were last year. Funny how bball works lol

[mogrovejo]

Shaq is statuesque.

[hitmanyr2k]

Despite the boasted roster, Cavs aren't looking like half the team they were last year. Funny how bball works lol

Lebron played stupid from the start. He was jacking shots left and right trying to put on a show and that played right into Chicago's hands. They don't want the whole Cavs team involved in the game. Since Lebron started chucking right away (ala Kobe) no one else got into a rhythm. If we can hold on tonight I hope he doesn't wise up in Game 4.

[Brazil]

Go Bulls !

Rose with a monster game so far and Noah with already 11 rebounds !

[hitmanyr2k]

Hinrich always commits at least one bonehead foul a game.

[ffadicted]

tbh, can someone elaborate on why they wear headphones when reviewing plays? How does that help seeing where the foot was? :lol

Or is it just noise canceling cuz of the crowd? Which also wouldn't make much sense..?

[LoneStarState'sPride]

aaaaaand here come the cavs.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

come on bulls

[cobbler]

tbh, can someone elaborate on why they wear headphones when reviewing plays? How does that help seeing where the foot was? :lol

They are talking to the guys in the booth and need to hear them. Telling them which view... when to rewind... slow mo etc.

Not sure... but they also could be talking to the off court official as well.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

JESUS what a sick move Deng just put on Mr. James!

[Spurologist]

:lol

Lebron just got owned by Deng

[ffadicted]

LMAO Deng just took the LeKing and the Crabaliers to school

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Bullllls!!

[mogrovejo]

Lovely crossover from Deng.

[Brazil]

omfg deng !

[Brazil]

Noah against James... lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

james johnson looks so fat lol

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Marv Albert more than making up for Reggie Miller's utter inability to commentate authoritatively lol

[Hank the Tank]

lmao at taj gibson falling down when he goes over to help up rose.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wtf? they yelling MVP for rose?
lol

[ffadicted]

LeChucker going into full Kobe mode here

[mogrovejo]

wtf? they yelling MVP for rose?
lol

Well, they were yelling it for Kobe the other day.

[D2Procon]

As soon as Derrick Rose sits, the bulls player becomes the most ignorant humans on the face of the earth....

[Spurologist]

STFU Miller......

[hitmanyr2k]

As bad as Cleveland is playing (and missing a ton of free throws) I can't believe they're within single digits. Bulls need to start going to the fuckin rim. Stop this jumpshooting bullshit.

Edit: unless Hinrich is shooting the jumper :lol


And GODDAMMNNNNNN @ Lebron.

[D2Procon]

Glad Im watching this game on comcast hearing stacey king because reggie miller needs to really shut the fuck up. I'd mute it just because of him

[scampers]

Reggie Miller reminds me of Barack Obama when he tries to talk like a black guy.

[hitmanyr2k]

Reggie Miller reminds me of Barack Obama when he tries to talk like a black guy.

Obama at least sounds like an adult.

[ffadicted]

Fuck Bulls, come oooon

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Deng is a mother fucking bum

[mogrovejo]

Reggie Miller reminds me of Barack Obama when he tries to talk like a black guy.

He doesn't say as many stupid things as Obama though.

[hitmanyr2k]

Fuck!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fucking noobs bullls

[hitmanyr2k]

fucking noobs bullls

Can we borrow Duncan and Ginobili for about 5 minutes?

[hitmanyr2k]

This small line up is ass.

[ffadicted]

2 point game...

[hitmanyr2k]

Rose!! I love his herky jerky style.

You're not stopping that speed Lebron. Give it up :lol

[Hank the Tank]

Rose is the fuckin truth.

[ffadicted]

DROSE TIME BABY!!

Killer instinct

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol is james pushing for a triple double? i mean he had a lane drive to the bucket and he forces it to jamison...

[Chieflion]

Derrick Rose is phenomenal.

[D2Procon]

I love Rose's one handed jumpshot

[oh crap]

what a game... close it out, bulls

[hitmanyr2k]

lol is james pushing for a triple double? i mean he had a lane drive to the bucket and he forces it to jamison...

I don't know but he's been picking us apart this entire quarter. FINALLY someone anticipated the pass and got it.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[Brazil]

Come on bulls win this shit

[oh crap]

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon. Dagger time.

WHooooooo lol. We got away with that one. Should have been a blocking foul on Deng :lol

[Brazil]

Thats a clutch offensive rebound Noah !

[ffadicted]

Huge board for Joakim

[Hank the Tank]

Lebron Charge!!!!! Unbelievable!

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Bulls hanging on by their toenails right now.

HUGE offensive foul call on James.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

UGLY airball from Rose.

[ffadicted]

Rose, buddy, you gotta take that shit to the hole man

[Hank the Tank]

:lol at Lebron stripped

[mogrovejo]

Noah with the OR and the steal in consecutive possessions and that's game.

Bad day for conspiracy theorists with that offensive foul called on James.

[Brazil]

[mogrovejo]

What were the Bulls fans chanting?

[oh crap]

game time, baby. lol cavs. lol lebronze losing to a team that had to fight for 8th in the east

[Brazil]

What were the Bulls fans chanting?

[LoneStarState'sPride]

What were the Bulls fans chanting?

Sounded like "cleveland sucks"

[oh crap]

rofl @ all those who said the cav's would sail to the finals with out losing a game

[hitmanyr2k]

[Hank the Tank]

Rose having Memphis flashbacks

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Bulls doing a SERIOUS choke job right now.

[Brazil]

[Chieflion]

Still a game.

[oh crap]

[Banzai]

41-41 for a reason.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fucking wild..

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Chicago, if you blow this shit...............

[Brazil]

I think I jinxed the bulls

[hitmanyr2k]

Overtime is coming. I can feel it. Lebron will nail a 35 foot 3 pointer.

[resistanze]

Retarded.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Good foul.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

nice foul!

[hitmanyr2k]

Thank GOD Brad got that rebound because Lebron was in perfect position to get it for a layup :lol

[Brazil]

good foul and nice Noah Defense

[Ghazi]

41-41 for a reason.

injuries IMO

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Wow, Noah got away with hooking his arm across LeBron's face on that attempt. Big missed call.

[DPG21920]

Noah fouled bron

[Spurologist]

:lol

That was almost a disaster.....easily could've been a foul on Noah

[resistanze]

Lol you ain't getting that call lebron

[himat]

Come on Brad hit these...

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol hows that not a foul on noah :lol

[D2Procon]

Payback Lebron

[mogrovejo]

LBJ was fouled there.

Noah does that to Kobe and is called for a flagrant 2.

Garnett does that to anyone and is suspended for a game.

[redzero]

I saw Ron Howard!

[oh crap]

yes, miller!

[hitmanyr2k]

Wow, Noah got away with hooking his arm across LeBron's face on that attempt. Big missed call.

That's normal contact under the rim when boxing out. I think the huge call that went our way was Lebron being called for the charge. It should have been a blocking foul on Deng and a 3 point play opp for Lebron. We got a break on that one.

[lil_penny]

Brad fuckin miller

[Brazil]

now I think it's over

[picc84]

Is this a game the Bulls were supposed to win?

[Spurologist]

:lmao

EPIC FAIL: Brad Miller trying to do a rehearsed handshake

[himat]

Okay...NO Fouls!

[hitmanyr2k]

God hates us :lol

[lil_penny]

Holy shit

[LoneStarState'sPride]

How many 3's can the cavs hit? OMFG

[Brazil]

LBJ was fouled there.

Noah does that to Kobe and is called for a flagrant 2.

Garnett does that to anyone and is suspended for a game.

:lol

Noah Defense was correct

[ffadicted]

I can't believe what I'm seeing lol

[picc84]

Amazing. Everyone on the Cavs can shoot. No one on the Lakers can shoot. Disgusting job by the FO.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Omfg

[himat]

WTF??? Come on Bulls. Dammit!

[oh crap]

motherfuck!

[Brazil]

lol I have to stop posting

[hitmanyr2k]

Give it to Brad. I'm not sure I trust anyone else to make the free throws.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Man, this is like a pick-up game down the stretch. People just throwing up shit and it going in. Damn.

[himat]

Do Cavs have another time out?

[hitmanyr2k]

Do Cavs have another time out?

Nope. Half court heave time :lol

[Spurologist]

Lebron for the win???

[oh crap]

bulls, yes

[LoneStarState'sPride]

DAYUM that was close.

[oh crap]

lol cavs
lol lebron
lol losing to a team that fought for 8th seed

[picc84]

Anthony Parker calling his own #.

[hitmanyr2k]

With the way the Cavs were hitting shots my heart came up in my throat on that last shot :lol

[Chieflion]

Congratulations Bulls.

[himat]

Nope. Half court heave time :lol

:lol Fortunate. If they had a TO I swear they would hit another 3.

Bulls escape...I'm hoping they can use the homecourt in Game 4 to win again. Screw you Cavaliers.

[oh crap]

lol title favorites
lol people saying they wouldn't lose a game till the conference finals

[hitmanyr2k]

Anthony Parker calling his own #.

He really had no choice. He had no time to think really.

[Hank the Tank]

good win by the bulls...i wish they still had the same roster as last year though. gordon, salmens, etc...

i am surprised by how much trouble the cavs are having with these bulls though. before this series, i thought it would have been an easy sweep.

[picc84]

He really had no choice. He had no time to think really.

You dont think. You give the ball to Lebron.

Lebron 40 foot shot >>> Parker 28 foot shot

[hitmanyr2k]

You dont think. You give the ball to Lebron.

Lebron 40 foot shot >>> Parker 28 foot shot

By the time he found Lebron on the floor time would have run out :lol

[JoeTait75]

Good win for the Bulls. :tu

Don't know what you can do when Hinrich is shooting like that.

[hitmanyr2k]

Good win for the Bulls. :tu

Don't know what you can do when Hinrich is shooting like that.

It's funny. It seemed like the Bulls did everything right tonight and got great shooting games out of Hinrich, Deng and Rose. The Cavs couldn't do anything right, missed a lot of free throws and somehow were still in the game at the end. It shouldn't have been that hard.
