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

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Thibs is probably thinking of the mismatch on the other end of the floor tbh

But they cut the lead with Mirotic on the bench

Yet Snell wasn't part of the lineup that made the comeback.

Cavs made like SEVEN contested jumpers during that run, whereas the Bulls were missing open shot after open shot. shyt like that happens, and no lineup adjustments would make much of a difference. Certainly not replacing Mirotic with Snell.

so who gon remix this with the hot boy beat?

 

[Perfectson]

Lebron collecting ownership of souls like Jordan did in the 90s.

Bulls fan - and yes that's exactly what hes doing. He's been preventing us from advancing for a decade - 1 MAN

 

[Perfectson]

When the Bulls lose this series, I don't know how you can keep that team together after this. They've had plenty of advantages, even with Gasol missing the last two games and they still look like shyt.

Maybe it's Thibs' impending doom hanging over the team.

It's the fact, that hey went and got offensive players and Thibs still doesn't know how to use them.

And the guy you trust the most of Defense and to play Point-Center all of a sudden cant hit layups and other teams know it now.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Let's just add the Bulls to another team that Lebron just owns now...

Pacers
Thunder
Bulls

Lebron had two starters crippled with an injury, was missing Smith for two games, and it's still a competitive series despite Chicago having the depth and size advantage?

Thunder don't belong on that list - he's only ever had one series against them.

.

And what offensive players are these?

After the Finals loss, the Thunder had a horrible record against the Heat in the regular season with Lebron regularly destroying the Thunder. Durant looked scared against him.

 

[Perfectson]

And what offensive players are these?

Mirotic, Gasol, Brooks

Butler has found his offense

of course you'll laugh but we had Hinrich, Gibson,Brewer, Keith, playing these spots in previous years. The team is better offensively - on paper - than any previous Bulls team, yet we are still having scoring droughts that teams with worse players (like the Bucks) don't seem to suffer from.

I wish I could say fukk a thibs hoping we could get the next Steve Kerr who would get this team going like the Warriors

But this is gar pax, these clowns will roll out some little known college coach just because they golf buddies keep this same squad together, sign another power forward with the MLE draft another european we won't see for 2 years then come back next season like they really did something great, and we worst defensively and record wise than we are this season.

This is team "don't do shyt" or " can't do shyt right" and to be honest, thibs has covered for a lot of they front office blunders. So idk about the grass being greener on the other side if we get rid of thibs.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Mirotic, Gasol, Brooks.

Thibs doesn't know how to use Gasol? You're kidding me right?

Brooks is who he is - offensive spark off the bench who has little-to-no playmaking ability. You plug him in there to provide instant offense. There isn't way particular way to utilize players like him but make sure they don't have extended minutes and they matchup against second units

Mirotic has been inconsistent offensively over the season and is still struggling with basic defensive rotations - Thibs staggered his minutes accordingly. He didn't give him too much responsibility and didn't throw him in the deep end too early, after all he's only a rookie and rookies don't see big minutes on teams that are in win-now mode. And even with easing him in, he still is too passive and can't hit open shots.

of course you'll laugh but we had Hinrich, Gibson,Brewer, Keith, playing these spots in previous years. The team is better offensively - on paper - than any previous Bulls team, yet we are still having scoring droughts that teams with worse players (like the Bucks) don't seem to suffer from.

Hinrich, Brewer and Bogans aren't offensive players. fukk Gibson, it's like he forgot how to play.

The Bulls had the 11th ranked offense this season, which is quite remarkable considering Rose was out (or finding his feet) for basically 80% of the season.

At least with Thibs leaving dudes will be able to see that the FO is the REAL problem, and not the coach that has constantly had this team overachieve since he's been in charge. Maybe then it'll force them to acquire proper talent.

Rose played wit a stinger .. No gasol ..mirotic was trash no taj

And we still almost won

I expected us to lose this 1 ..my gut says it's over but for the reasons mentioned above

I can't rule us out winning game 6 ..if we do and it goes back to CLE

Game 7 and that mental midget Bron freezes up

Serious question: When has Bron ever been a mental midget vs the Bulls? He's OWNED y'all...I expect a series clinching triple double from him tomorrow

Yeah, so that makes even more sense to go defense to matchup better defensively then right? The Bulls were clicking without Mirotic or Snell when Taj got pulled for foul trouble. Niko got in the game the Bulls were down 3, they ended the quarter down 9...

When he got subbed out in the 4th they were down 14
