No Love, No Lackin - Bulls vs Cavs Semi-ECFs Thread

[Jen The Prude]

The first game was too close. The bulls were at their best and luckiest but it inly got decided by that Butler basket around the 2minutes when he hit a 3 to move it to a 6pt lead.
That alone, my friends, says that a backdoor is coming. This Bulls - Lebron playoff game feels like a deja vu

From your lips to God's ear.

Like how Golden State misses Mark Jackson?

Me and you been on that F Thibs wave for a min

 

[Cᵣₐₛₕ&ₜₕₑCₒᵤₚ]

This is JR's series to let that s*** fly

He might go crazy game 3 ​

 

[Kane]

Rose gotta realize we're not winning shyt with him not getting any FTA...

Rose was fouled plenty of times. He can't force the refs to call them.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Terrible terrible showing tonight. Our perimeter D was non existent. Their wings are nothing but spot up corner shooters and guys like Dun were constantly collapsing in the paint and leaving them open. Butler is a solid defender. We don't need the whole squad packing the lane everytime Bron drove. Didn't involve Pau at all like we did in gm 1. Noah continues to be a liability and the Cavs are starting to take advantage like Mil did. Thibs refuses to use our bench despite it being one of the best remaining in the playoffs. Scary thing is we got crushed with out really anything from Kyrie.

 

[jwinfield]

Can Nikolai defend though? He looks like someone Bron can body all day long

The Cavs were running lineups with James Jones out there, not only would he be able to defend Jones, he would be able to attack him offensively. Instead we had Noah leaving him open and not being able to do anything on offense.

But act like he wasn't a legit backup guard in the league. If he's been trash this year then okay but he wasn't always trash and y'all know that.

4 years ago

derrick rose hasn't attempted a FT this series

 

[AVXL]

Rose is exempt from criticism. I swear. They just happy to see him on the court injury free.

I've never seen anybody but @god shamgod even as much as question Rose. The rest of em from @red222 @CHICAGO @cornercommission2k12 all fall into line for Rose like foot soldiers. Rose can do no wrong in their eyes and never has done wrong either

 

[jaguar paw]

ARE WE ACTUALLY WATCHING THE GAME OR THE BOX SCORE?

THE WHOLE TEAM CAME OUT FLAT.

AND CLE PACKED THE PAINT...

YOU CAN DO THAT WHEN YOU DONT HAVE TO GUARD NOAH.
HE EVENTUALLY ADJUSTED
AND WE BEGAN TO COME BACK...
WOIND UP WITH 10 DIMES ...


SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME
WHY DERRICK ROSE HASNT SHOT 1 FREE THROW IN THIS SERIES.



​

Cavs packed the paint in the first game. Only scored 24 in the paint.

Rose still got his from 3 and mid range.

Why was he so ass tonight?

The order of blame for yall nikkas is:

1.) Thibs
2.) Thibs rotations
3.) Thibs
4.) Thibs
5.) Hinrich
6.) Snell when he gets minutes
7.) Thibs
8.) GarPax
9.) the refs
10.) Gasols defense and Noah being trash

 

[GoldenGlove]

Going on for years now? I don't wanna hear that shyt when he guided that piece of shyt team yall had last season to the playoffs when Rose was out and having the second-best winning percentage as a coach with his franchise player out for half his tenure in Chicago - no coach in the league could accomplish that.


Thibs has his flaws, just like every other coach in the league. You sound like you don't watch other teams play. If you think Thibs is bad, you'd lose your fukking mind watching other coaches operate.

Yeah for years.

First year, he would leave Korver on the floor when he wasn't doing jack shyt. Wasn't hitting a fukking shot, but kept him on the floor. Hardly played his 2 best perimeter defenders down the stretch of that series because he wanted Korver on the floor. Bron and Wade had it easy down the stretch. Got backdoor swept after Spo made the Game 2 adjustment to go small.

And I know you're into stats, so go look up what Korver's 3PT % was in that series compared to Keith Bogans... yeah he got shytted on by the fans, but he would start games off hitting 3s and would never see the floor in the 4th.

FOR years he's grinded nikkas down into the ground. He did it with Deng, he played Jimmy in 1 game for 60 minutes and joked about it in the presser afterwards, in the Bucks series he had starters in the game in the 3rd quarter when they were up 46 points. Literally, not even bullshytting you. Derrick Rose was still in the game with 5 minutes left in the 3rd and they were winning by 44 points.

He's never developed rookies or young players unless he's absolutely forced to because of guys getting injured.

He's not bad, but yal acting like he's untouchable. GTFOH

 

[intilectual recipricol]

we need Junior Smith back shootin those fukked up ass shots... shoot them nikkaz right out the game. Some of that will help us compete better

 

[Llcoolbay]

Wtf is Chuck talking about.

"What are Cavs gonna do with No big Guy coming off the bench?"

Did he watch the game

 

[Hoganese]

Blatt deserves praise for starting TT. Good adjustment. He needs to keep Mike Miller on the bench tho.

 

[cornercommission2k12]

I get the love for thibs

But this loss tonight Is totally on him.

He is stuck on himself and his philosophy

Let's say thibs sees the cavs inserting tristan into the starting lineup and thibs sees that since tristan is a great offensive rebounder he sits noah, starts niko and forces tristan to come out to the 3pt line and guard him getting him away from the basket. That is coaching.

Or not being able to recognize that literally every open 3 made tonight was on noah and dunleavy side.

I mean it wasn't even a 2nd half adjustment. It's just no excuse for that. The cavs got shaken when shump went out. You could see they were losing momentum and we make a 14-0 run and because thibs won't sit the 2 guys continuing to leave shooters james jones pretty much sealed the deal in the 3rd. It's no excuse for that.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Why the face? GSW had injuries through Mark's run too right? They missing him on the bench out there after throwing him in the bushes or nah?
