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

[HoopLife]

Yea each game we lost one of our two ballers didn't show up...but I expect Bron to hold on to leads though. Even if it means driving lane 5 str8 possessions and going to the line 5 str8 times...(James harden does it all the time)...stretch the lead out then start poppin from three. In my mind Kyrie is still a rookie in the playoffs...its on Bron to protect the leads and win the game...at least imo

Still got the cavs in six tho

I know bro, if we had Miami Lebron this series would be over but these unforced turnovers and broken jumper is making Bron look human. It is what it is tho, I expect a big game from Bron in the next game, no excuses. Game 6 Bron in full force

Kyrie's gotta make the plays Wade use to make. Get a steal and get the fast break going.
Wade would make timely plays to help win games.

I know he's battling a few injuries but he needs to do other things to help win.

Ironically, Blatt is relying on LeBron like Mike Brown did. But as you said he's got miles on him this time around. He's gotta get him some rest. Cant have him playing 44 mins a game.

He's been doing that all throughout the postseason. He was averaging 24 ppg on 44% shooting prior to this game, only 2.7 less points than Bron (this is with Bron taking close to seven more shots per game). It was just a bad game from him because he could barely run out there.

Exactly. Now to Irving's defense...Blatt does not know how to use a bench. The team has no offense which I understand it will take a full year to get an offense in. Plus the bulls muddy up the game a play semi illegal zone so there are few drive lanes. Then Irving jumper was broke so the drive lanes dried up.

Dude what do you think Lebron is 24...lol. Dude got mad miles on him. Plus the bulls are playing basically a box and 1 when lebron has the ball. Irving must step up and get off the tit. He is young and he is inexperienced but plenty of young players have made a name for themselves in the playoffs

Yea but of the twelve cav turnovers seven belonged to Bron...Yea Kyrie has to step up...but if the caves get up 9 or 11 pts...I expect Bron to protect that...he doesn't have to be 24 to do that. They'll be fine Sunday

D-Rose my dude and all, but did he have to pee at his presser?

He has. Just saying when Wade was hurt he still made those plays as well.

In game 1 he couldnt make plays late cause his hip was bothering him. In game 3 I think it was his foot.

Just saying while hurt Wade still found ways to make plays though. I think Kyrie will bounce back.

Thank you, sadly were seeing the decline of Lebron from a athletic stand point. He can't blow by his man no more, he can't finish through traffic no more. Despite all that we got 27/14/8 from him. That's how crazy the expectations are for him.

he has some type of electro shock treatment going post game, that's why his leg was moving like that

They're in a tough spot. Next game is do or die so LeBron probably plays most of the game.

Dude is almost averaging a triple double while shooting shytty from the field. If that jumper is on...

look out for one of those Pacers/Celtics from 2012 kind of games.

He is still a great player he just isn't 28. Jordan at 33 wasn't what he was at 30 but he was still great. Also the cavs don't have a defined offense and the spacing is bad so lebron isnt as efficient as he was in Miami last year. Give it next year and Lebron will look similar to his time in Miami.

But also remember the bulls always play lebron tough in the playoffs. Especially the last few years in Miami.

Stop.
