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

[Lord Beasley]

Goons gonna goon

Thibs wasn't the reason they lost this game. I see that clearly.

Maybe not. But he's the reason Rose and Butler might come into game 3 fatigued..

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

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

I'm well aware of all of this - I'm by no means excusing him from some of his tendencies/tactics.

With the minimal talent he's had since he's been there - his franchise player only playing 60% of the time he's been coaching in Chicago - yet still maintaining the second-best winning% in the league is only indicative of how good he is of a coach. I don't think there's a coach in the league that would have the same 'success' rate over the same period with the same personnel.

All this shyt yall complaining about is mere first world problems compared to the impoverished and dire state that other fans have to deal with.

Rose shoots 6-20 and ppl blamin the coach. the coach aint out there brickin shots

 

[cornercommission2k12]

And Rose was exempt like always in your eyes.

I get it.

Your premises is stupid

Rose could have had a 40 pt game on 50% shooting

If those wide open 3s are still falling we still lose.

We were let down defensively because we had players on the floor that could not get to a shooter. That is all on the coach. And that was not the fault of jimmy nor rose, who btw are both guarding the best 2 players on the cavs.

 

[Originalman]

LeBron is still shooting poorly and his jumper is broke


He's gotta be due for one of those games where he's shooting lights out ​

Don't matter. During his heat years he jumper was wet in the first two rounds and then it would get broke the conf finals and in the finals. This time it may be reversed. I tell you he doesn't look burned out like he normally would with the heat. Helps he doesn't have to be the leading rebounder and the only ball handler.

Tracy Wolfson slipped up and called Dwight 'Dyke' Howard

No it wasn't, James Jones scoring 17 points is a result of your defense doing what's it's supposed to do.

That's the person you want to shoot in a game like this. He just happened to make shots tonight. Same with Dellavedova and Shumpert. They have horrible shooting %s.

Defensively that's who you want to take the shots.

Rose being a walking trash can was the difference tonight.

 

[intilectual recipricol]

Maynes, you cant explain to idiots how the game works. If ol buddy thinks the players in the game decides who plays and how much then theres not much we can say to ol buddy... if they wanna be dumb we cant stop em

Aww they're guarding the best players on the Cavs team

The former MVP and the current MIP have to try hard its not fair breh

 

[Illuminatos]

Someone give this guy Joakim Noah a headband. nikka is out there embarrassing himself.

why the hell would I want james jones a former 3pt champion and shump who btw was flaming hot from three game 1 to take the shots over tristan who has no offense and mozgov who is mediocre at offense? You give them the shots when you run the shooters off the 3pt line, if noah and dunleavy is sat the hell down then that happens. Noah was not getting to his guy, nor was dunleavy. The cavs worked those 2 side all game. And lebron doing what he did is just lebron being great nothing you can do about that. But if you take away that corner 3 lebron loves going to then lebron gets his but we still have a close game. How does rose overcome a 3pt barrage like that? Serious question.

 

[Kufismack]

The bulls were like "And these are my damaged petals"

 

[jaguar paw]

James Jones has been horrible this entire season on both sides of the ball. Damn near hitting the back board on all of his 3 point attempts when he's wide open and now yall wanna crown him.

Miller, Jones, Dellavedova, and JR have been involved throughout the playoffs and they are bricking the fukk out of the basketball.


You want them taking the shots. Trust me. You don't want Kyrie or LeBron being the ones that get the looks.

If your defense is grounded in getting the ball out of their hands you will win a series because they don't have consistency on offense around them.

 

[Rigby.]

Dont ever compare Lebron to MJ again

stats require it
