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

[Dr. Narcisse]

I think Thibs is going to gamble and put Niko out there at the 4 for a good bit next game.

If they do that Cavs can go small and have LeBron guard him. The spacing with Shump, JR and Kyrie on the floor will be

Playing one of the best players on the team at their natural position shouldn't be a gamble though.

But apparently I'm not supposed to blame Thibs for that.

HE MISSED 2 SHOTS IN A 1 MINUTE SPAN IN THE 2ND QUARTER...

THE GAME WAS TIED IN THE 3RD QUARTER.



​

Offense was dead in the water and they were rallying a comeback until this nikka decided to gift wrap bricks to the Bulls.

As abysmal as the Cavs were in Game 1 little moments like that come in to play with the end result.

LeBron was awful as well on offense with his shot selection and untimely turnovers.

The margin for error was slim because they kept falling into holes. Their inability to make open shots killed them. Yall didn't come at Thibs then because they didn't make the same looks they made tonight. They were as wide open tonight as they were in game 1.

I unlike you can put blame where it's warranted.

But we can't blame Thibs when we're making a rally, Blatt makes an adjustment, Thibs fails to do so and the rally dies?

Yall didn't come at Thibs then because they didn't make the same looks they made tonight. They were as wide open tonight as they were in game 1.

We came at Thibs last game for his rotations, we said we needed less Noah, less Kirk and more Niko, the same shyt we're saying tonight.

So you saw no fault with how Rose played tonight?

Blatt has been horrible at adjusting to rally's this series btw.

WE WERE IN THE BULLS THREAD AFTER THAT WIN
CRITICIZING THE FACT NIKO GOT NO BURN...
POSTING VINES OF NOAH MISSING LAYUPS...
AND HIS 1-12 FT SHOOTING...
TALKING ABOUT KEEPING NURKIC TO BE OUR FUTURE CENTER
INSTEAD OF TRADING FOR MCBUCKETS.

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE fukk YOURE TALKING ABOUT.


​

Aight. Cool.

So will there be criticism in that thread on how Rose played tonight or nah?

 

[GSR]

Bulls played like ass. Couldn't hit nothing all game especially rose and gasol (where tf he go?).

Thibs needs to be more aggressive with his line ups, he's partially to blame. Stubborn as hell

Noah needs to come off the bench, start taj.

Nikko, Snell and McDermott need more playing time.


And aside from all that, the cavs had an excellent game. They were on fire with 3s early on and if it wasn't for that it might've been a closer game.

Good game cavs c ya Friday

 

[Loot_Gingrich]

Lol @ Bulls losing to a Cavs team that consists of 3 starters, 2 bench players, and 4 scrubs.

Bulls are a good team but jesus christ losses like this make it hard to believe they are anywhere close to contenders.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Aight. Cool.

Rose missed shots, lol

Even if he shoots 50% they still lose, what point are you trying to make

Yall don't want to attribute his play into wins or losses.

He gets the . That's yall hometown hero. I understand.

 

[cornercommission2k12]

If a hand is in the shooters face, then you can shake they hand and say good game yall was hot, props

But when guys are wide the hell open, this can repeat if we don't adjust.

 

[jwinfield]

So you saw no fault with how Rose played tonight?

Rose had a shytty shooting night.

Butler had a shytty shooting night.

Gasol was nothing offensively.

What do you want me to say? If I say that when your offense is shytty, but you have a 7 footer that can shoot the 3 and put the ball on the floor, but he only plays garbage time and how that really doesn't make any sense, people will just say I'm just blaming Thibs again.

Most Bulls fans problems with tonight's game was defensively and rotations.

Aight...is Niko at fault at all in your mind for being in Thibs doghouse?

 

[Microfracture]

I'm not sure Thompson couldn't guard Mirotic. He tightened up his defense when he got switched onto a guard its not like he's slow footed.

 

[jaguar paw]

Those same defensive and rotation issues were present in Game 1

Cavs couldn't make a shot and they couldn't stop the pick and pop with Gasol.

Yet yall were still parading around the forum like but tonight? Tonight it's all on Thibs.

I understand.
