EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: (3) Chicago Bulls vs (2) Cleveland Cavaliers

[crc21209]

Noah with the double bads. What a dumb ass player..

[crc21209]

LeBron dicked down the Bulls and Noah tonight..

[hitmanyr2k]

Why is Noah touching the ball. It's like Thibs wants to get fired.

[Killakobe81]

Almost a perfect game by James

[Splits]

:lmao Thibs

[Splits]

Those have to be two of the worst executed plays I've ever seen.

WTF is Noah trying to throw a lob to Butler with James on him? :lmao

[davethedope]

basket case bulls choke up another one so the kang can go to yet another Finals...

but honestly there's no team left in the east except the cavs that would even make the finals moderately competitive so the bulls should just tank 6 and have a nice summer

[hitmanyr2k]

Gasol better come out and play Game 6. Either way I expect the Bulls to take that game to force Game 7. Hopefully Rose's stinger is just that but I'm starting to get the feeling it's not. That shit has been going on for 2 games now.

[Banzai]

Bulls been playing shitty at home..Cavs going to finish in 6

[ElNono]

Bulls need MVPau back urgently, tbh

[Banzai]

Pau has a hamstring injury? He needs to man up or stfu

[Clipper Nation]

More evidence that Rose, just like Kirby, can't win a damn thing without MVPau holding his hand.

[ffadicted]

Some of the worst play calling I've seen in a long time with those last 3 bulls possessions lol

[Chillen]

Speechless really, talk about giving a series away. Win game 6 or go home.

Hopefully they'll be flying back to Hopkins alone.

Bulls no longer the favorites. My (non Bull) fan buddies are all expecting Game-7 and a meetup party.

Gasol setting himself up for MVP or skeleton


- We watched the game at a Sports Bar - Butler hit a couple treys late but overall he let us down. James scoring so much is a reflection on his defense. Where the Fk was Snell?

I've been watching the series at my local sports bar as well. A lot of Bulls fans here in Pittsburgh. And casual Pittsburghers hate everything Cleveland so they root for the Bulls anyway :lol

What a fkn let down yesterday

Haha my Bar had an obnoxious Lebron fan (James shirt, no Cavs gear). But I congratulated him after the game and told him to make sure he shows up Sunday for Game 7

Has Tom T regressed? I've always backed him 100% but this is the first series where I'm questioning some of his decision making.

If there are Lebron fans in the sports bar they stay quiet when watching the games here :lol I'm not a Pittsburgh native so I'm not really into the Penn/Ohio rivalry but I know they can't stand any sports team from Ohio here. I'm sure Cavs/Browns fans stay in the closet.

I feel bad for Thibs. The guy hasn't had a healthy roster since his rookie year as coach. He's had some G.E.D coaching moments (like giving Noah offensive touches or letting him handle the ball at the top of the key) but overall he's a good coach and I would hate to see the Bulls let him go. I think the Pau injury may very well cost him his job.

Ya I'd prefer Tom T to stay. I dunno, maybe the rumors have gotten to me. I've always been 100% behind Tom but I don't understand not playing Snell with Pau out. Leaving guys in the Bucks clincher. The inbounding plays have steadily declined in creativity. He doesn't use timeouts to spell our droughts or Cleveland runs. We have gotten destroyed on the glass for 16 straight Quarters. He has to be more than just a motivator.

I've always admired how all Pittsburgh teams wear Yellow & Black. I can't think of it occurring in any other city. My buddy was just mentioning how well Sid Break is treated in Pittsburgh. But I was aware of his career with Pirates.

[Infinite_limit]

Hypothetical Game 7 would be Sunday @ Noon?

My GFs ceremony was moved from Friday to Sunday afternoon. I'm fkn stunned!

[Silver&Black]

:worthy: MVPau

[Splits]

MVPau to the rescue

[Arcadian]

If Lebron is in God mode again, the Cavs will close out.

The Bulls need epic performances from Rose and Gasol to have a chance.

Na, they just need to keep throwing bodies at James and not leave Butler with 2 fouls early in the game on him

Butler needs to have a better game offensively as well. Rose and Gasol don't need Epic games. If they do it will be a Bulls blowout

[hitmanyr2k]

Noah has become a complete offensive liability. Can't even catch a fuckin pass on the break now. Thank God Pau is back.

[~O~]

That's a smart play by gasol that most centers don't have the iq to be able to do. Keep the ball high after receiving the pass and finish with a dunk. Players for similar to Taj Gibson for example like to bring the ball down or dribble it and step into a dunk.

Na, they just need to keep throwing bodies at James and not leave Butler with 2 fouls early in the game on him

Butler needs to have a better game offensively as well. Rose and Gasol don't need Epic games. If they do it will be a Bulls blowout

One thing Butler really needs to start working on is his ball denial defense. Maybe it's because Pippen spoiled me but I can't stand it when I watch defenders just allow someone to catch the ball on the block in their sweet spot without fighting for position.

[hitmanyr2k]

Dunleavy has been a bright spot this entire playoffs.

[D-Wade]

Dunleavy has been a bright spot this entire playoffs.

Best he's played since his Indy days tbh

Yeah you're right, I meant that if Lebron plays the way he did in game 5, then they would need epic performances to overcome it. If they just play a solid team game and limit Lebron, they can win that way.

[~O~]

Joakim Noah would have been the NBA's version of Khal Drogo if he was stacked.

[hitmanyr2k]

Thompson has been a goddamn beast. No one and dones for Cleveland with him on the floor.

[IronMexican]

Why boo LeBron. He's only going to play even better that way.

[hitmanyr2k]

I wonder if Lebron getting that 2nd foul means he can't play against Chicago's 2nd unit to start the 2nd quarter. If Lebron does start the 2nd quarter Thibs has to put a better offensive unit on the floor. The Bulls have gotten killed in that situation.

[~O~]

Bulls have a terrible time holding leads. Their execution completely halts.

[hitmanyr2k]

The only guy I want to see shooting threes right now is Dunleavy. They need to start taking it at Thompson to get that dude some fouls. He's killing the boards.

[Infinite_limit]

I wonder if Lebron getting that 2nd foul means he can't play against Chicago's 2nd unit to start the 2nd quarter. If Lebron does start the 2nd quarter Thibs has to put a better offensive unit on the floor. The Bulls have gotten killed in that situation.
Nikola - ok
Brooks - sure
Kirk - no

[~O~]

There goes Kyrie irving. He'll be back. Don't think it was serious.

[hitmanyr2k]

Yeah, that didn't look too serious.

[Infinite_limit]

Irving out

Come on, Thompson and Mosgov. Should win handily

[davethedope]

Bulls defense being killed by Jones...

[hitmanyr2k]

Pau is making a huge difference but he's laboring to get up the floor.

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao JR Smith

[Infinite_limit]

Brooks is probably the biggest disappointment. Snaps our streak of finding adequate replacements for Rose

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon Jimmy. You can post Shump up. Stop staying outside so much.

[~O~]

Gasol has been killing the Bulls offense.

Mirotic isn't a bitch but the bulls still aren't playing hard enough to win this game.

Mirotic isn't a bitch but the bulls still aren't playing hard enough to win this game.
Yup. I think offensively/shots falling this is as good as it's gonna get AND yet we are still losing

[hitmanyr2k]

Kirk is seeing way too much time on the floor. Where the hell is Dunleavy?

[Infinite_limit]

This shouldn't be coming down to 3point shooting but it currently is

[~O~]

They might just get blown out right here. Wouldn't be surprised. They aren't answering. They're biggest answer to Cleveland should have been to be up 15 right now with a suffocating defense.

They're at home too which makes it even more disappointing.

[Venti Quattro]

Gasol has been killing the Bulls offense.
MVPau

Cancer Survivor

etc etc

[Bynumite]

Lebeta getting calls reversed by request :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

This shouldn't be coming down to 3point shooting but it currently is

Rose isn't shooting threes tonight thank god. He's pretty much staying midrange and attacking the rim.

[~O~]

That' was bulls ball. Its too bad the Bulls don't care enough to contest the call or look who its' going off of after the play.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Bulls just can't catch a break lol. They're losing all of the hustle points. At least turnover prone Lebron has shown up lol.

[~O~]

Well here it goes.

[RD2191]

:lolbulls

[hitmanyr2k]

Noah handling the ball at the top of the key AGAIN? Why? Nothing good ever comes out of that shit.

[~O~]

Well their offense is awful now. I just wonder what they'll do to get back in the game.

[Infinite_limit]

Damn what a gutless 2nd Quarter

Arena dead

[Silver&Black]

The Bulls in the middle of their 6 minute drought. They seem to have one every game...

[~O~]

The Bulls simply are not playing like they want to win They already look defeated.

[IronMexican]

Noah handling the ball at the top of the key AGAIN? Why? Nothing good ever comes out of that shit.

:lolhow many scramble shots with under 5 left on the shot clock has that led to this series.

[Infinite_limit]

So Gibson the entire 2nd Half?

[~O~]

The Cavs, simply put, have the answers. The sad thing is, they're losing to the Cavs without Love and Irving(crippled sometimes). No offense but the Bulls might just suck (on offense specifically).

[Venti Quattro]

:lol the Cavs doing this without Kyrie Irving

[ffadicted]

This is terrible lol

[Infinite_limit]

How can the analyst sit there and not question the Bulls effort?

We just surrendered 58 points to Thompson and Mosgov

[Venti Quattro]

[hitmanyr2k]

The Bulls have started out fast in each 3rd qtr where they've been behind. I hope it's in the cards tonight.

[hitmanyr2k]

Cavs went on their run right after the Nikola technical

[~O~]

The thing is, the Bulls shouldn't be behind. The should have been prepared and playing with an urgency in which they wanted to win the game. Their energy says "I get hoes anyway". That's the mentality of of a beta bitch. Get hoes and be a winner.

Word is Thibs is done. The Magic may open up the wallet for him if he doesn't go to NOLA. I don't want him to coach the Magic but he would be the best option available. I think Thibs can coach a team to the playoff but not coach his team to the playoffs and be KILLERS.

I can see the Bulls fans despise LeBron and Cleveland but their team doesn't have the answer.

The Clippers are the only team that broke the barrier this past 4 years.

[Infinite_limit]

Hinrich -15 in 12 minutes

Rose shooting 6/12
James shooting 3/11

Cavs: 57% from 3
Bulls: 10% from 3

[~O~]

Cavs went on their run right after the Nikola technical

Nikola can push the guy around but he still didn't score. Immediately after that, Shumpert scored 6* straight points and on mirotic.

Thibbs has been getting exposed by the National Media this Playoff run. Second guessed by a-lot of analyst. Yah he's gone, regardless of the conclusion of this series or maybe even Playoffs

Maybe this is the Bulls team saying Good Riddance to Tom T. There is 15% chance the Bulls come back WITHOUT going crazy from 3 point land. Making 3's is not the guarantee scoring in the post is. This is risky.

[Infinite_limit]

I say

- No more Noah or Kirk
- Hit the boards and close out on 3 pointers but let James get his
- Butler and Rose start chucking

[hitmanyr2k]

[~O~]

They're only down 13. I don't even know how they're still in this game. Cleveland should be mopping the floor with them. This Bulls team doesn't want to win. They'll probably meet the same demise but with less success than the Thunder team. Fired coach and a makeover.

[Infinite_limit]

29 mins for Noah
7 mins for Nikola, the teams 4th leading scorer (Will he see the court again?)

[hitmanyr2k]

Thibs giving canned answers :lol

[~O~]

Also, if the Bulls are going to continue building their team with Rose on it, Rose can't be the man anymore. They're going to need a new franchise player. Rose isn't going to be enough to get it done.

I've seen what Loyalty does to teams especially when it came to Dwight.

End of an Era. It was a nice 5-year run. Unfortunate we were never able to return to the ECF after Rose's knee injury. The core got old and pieces were let go while they waited for Rose to return.

While Thib leaves, the roster will most likely stay intact (Dunleavy gone). The following off-season alot of contracts are up

Aren't you seeing how superior the New York Cavaliers bench is to the Bulls bench?

Gasol let us down and the Gibson ejection was wrong

Yep, look at Smith, he realizes this is it,,,his one clear frame to secure his redemption from his sin. The acquisition was a Helluva move.

Yep, Gasol petered out which is his MO. He's never been able to stand the gaffe unless Kobe holds his hand.

...Thank Christ. Had the Bull won we'd never hear the end of it from Midst.

But Howard has given me another leg.

Howard hightails it out of Kobe town, and he's 5 wins away from the NBA Finals while Kobe can't figure out how to win 30 games.

You're insufferable tonight. Can't even do people decent when you got what you want (Clips losing, Gasol gone).

Because you showed your ass, If. We had you dead to rights and you ruined what would have been a grand moment. But, you can't see that because you're incredibly selfish.

Delly. These St.Mary Aussies play to win. :clap

As you do. You paid some lip-service to "lamenting" 5 and then immediately employed the Amy shtick. You barely suffered that count being tied up before you found an "out" (Amy, Battier, Broke Back Diaw etc). And I got the threads to prove it, Dirty.

I find my outs, too. I don't give an inch, just like you, Dirt.

I am actually embarrassed for this team. To lose like that at home and 3 straight vs the Cavs after being up 2-1, I mean Noah is now all talk. The Bulls offense flat out sucks, Thibs is definitely gone soon. I don't know what will be different about this team if Thibs leaves and they keep the same team. They flat out sucked these playoffs when getting to the Finals was as easier as ever. This core will probably never be a championship team so make some changes FO. Pau should have signed with the Spurs imo, he, Mirotic and Butler and Rose in the playoffs only bright spots this season.

[100%duncan]

The only surprise in this series is that it took 6 games... Bulls are who we thought they were...

That shit's sad, do people in Chicago still wear 90s Bulls gear? I hope people aren't still wearing Duncan and Ginobili jerseys in San Antonio in 2033.

Throwbacks, yo! :lol

[Infinite_limit]

2015 Off-season

- Rose will probably play out his contract (2 more seasons) and then play elsewhere
- Noah will play his final contract next season and then go elsewhere (unless contract dump midseason 2016)
- Jimmy will become a Max player
- Niko will be built around
- Snell & Doug will be prospects




That leaves:
- Pau is great for his contract but he also returns the most value in a trade. He will almost certainty return though


- Taj is a bit overpaid for his production. He is probably the most likely frontcourt player to be dealt


- Dunleavy will be unfortunately allowed to walk because 1st Round draft pick Doug must be thrown into the fire and sink or swim


- Kirk and Brooks were major disappointments. I hope the backup PG position is upgraded but wouldn't surprise me if Kirk returns






Bottomline: While Thibs is obviously gone. The roster doesn't have much wiggle room unless the front office is committed to rebuilding now (which they should). The major roster changes occur next off season when half the Bulls roster is free agents


As for coaching, the main target is Hoiberg. But rumors of Alvin freakin Gentry are circling.

One player? All of the Cavs players were hitting shots. Shumpert was a constant all series. JR Smith saved the Cavs from certain death in Game 4 with those 4th qtr threes. Tristan Thompson was constantly on the boards and his hustle generated many 2nd shots for the Cavs. The Bulls interior was outplayed.

It's one player hitman and you know it... these dudes can operate because they are playing with James... props to them to have made their open shots but you lost against one actor and a bunch of figurants at home :lol

no you did not lose to Thompson and co... your team was scared they've been paralyzed by the "we cannot lose" against a team without Irving and Love. Lebron shot shit but managed this game as he pleased, on a shit night he scared the shit out of Pau, Noah, Butler and Rose :lol that's the way it is...

Cavaliers Front Office won the series. All those moves they made

James added 39% field goal and 10% from 3pointland

:lol those role payers were unknown or shit before Lebron...

James added also 9 rebounds and 11 assits and basically controled this game from the beginning

:lol at thinking Bulls lost to a bunch of scrubs who were hot this night... Bulls shit their pants... No other player in the league would lead this cavs roster without Love and Irving to a PO win on elimination in your house bro... no one

It's not one player. I'm not going to give Lebron credit for other players making their shots lol. I'm not going to give Lebron credit for Tristan Thompson's hustle and him outplaying our interior getting the Cavs second shots when they were bricking as much as we were. I'm not going to give Lebron credit for Iman Shumpert sticking threes all series. The Bulls didn't get beat by one guy. Our bench play sucked ass and that's when the wheels usually fell off. Also credit Blatt with playing Lebron against the Bulls 2nd unit when the Bulls starters were getting a rest. Thibs never adjusted.

Noah is a lot of symbolism, but, trace substance. He's got a lot of people fooled...I ain't 1 of 'em.

[mkurts]

Thibodeau needs to be fired, he has no idea how to beat James and has now been crushed by him three times.

Bulls need to be blown up and retooled, can't even beat Cavs on one leg with nothing from James and Irving.

So much shame, so little hope for the Bulls
