Series might already be over if he didn't gaffe there.

To his credit, Blatt corrects his mistakes for the most part.

He'd probably get less shyt nationally if he didn't get so defensive about people calling him a rookie.

He makes rookie mistakes all the time. He cares too much about what people think.

Yea I think Blatt is just use to coaching without any interference. No serious(or even dumb) questions from the media. No one questioning his basketball acumen. He's just not comfortable on the court/off the court. He's a good coach though imo.
I just wish LeBron would trust him enough to run his offense late in games. Last couple games was risky as hell going Iso the last 5 mins

The problem is Lebron runs the wrong type of ISO in the last few minutes. Its where hes on the perimeter. When hes in the post and there's movement off the ball, thats the good ISO play.

When he just stands on the 3 point line dribbling while everyone else doesnt know what to do, that's the bad ISO play.

finish them off tonight

I'd love that. It would be on some Marlo killing Prop Joe shyt.

I don't expect the Bulls to die quietly though.

If LeBron would've just ran Blatt's offense from day one this team would be so much better than what it is now.

Actual ball and body movement.

Blatt did the right thing for job security purposes. So I understand why he backed off.

bulls please send the cavs home!!

They need to go HAM this game and just avoid a game 7. Kyrie, Shump, and LBJ need rest. Plus, you never know what injuries may occur with an extra game. They just need to play their hardest and try to end it tonight.

Starting Mike Miller in game one was a huge fukking mistake.

Not only that..but putting him on Dunleavy. Having to chase him around through screens.

Still can't believe they had 8 days to prepare and that's what they came up with.

Blatt has been a mixture of and this series.

Playing Noah and Hinrich at the same time for extended stretches is a huge fukking mistake

Not only that.. but it allows Kyrie or Bron to rest on defense. Having them out there fukks up the offensive spacing

Still can't believe how bad the offense struggled with the Bucks with Noah in the game and that's what they came up with vs CLE.

Thibs has been a mixture of and this series

 

[Brozay]

I want so bad to be killing Thibs for the over playing of Hinrich ... but hes actually making shots

He's made 2 shots and 2 FTs in his last 3 games in this series.

He hasnt killed us like he did all season at least

Still, ridiculous to have him out there, especially during crunch time

Spotted them that double digit lead in the 1st Qrt

In truth, Cavs will always give the Bulls an opportunity for a fast start because Blatt starts every game with Mozgov and TT, which lets Thibodeau off the hook with his Noah/Gibson lineup. We saw it the other day, the Cavs got down double digits playing that traditional stuff at the start but as soon as they went small, it was like the 2k sliders went from Hall of Fame to Arcade mode.

So it wouldn't surprise me if the bulls had another strong start, nor will it matter too much b/c ultimately it'll be when the cavs bring in james jones at the 4... or later when they get serious with the Thomas/James/Shump/Smith/Irving ensemble that we'll see what type of game its going to be.

Hopefully the cavs come out strong I can see lebron getting down early and calling this a trap game

lol in truth, i see Lebron continuing where he left off in the post, backing down and shooting those mid range fade aways against butler. If he's making them to start the game (keeping the score close) and Dunleavy isn't hitting anything from 3 to where it's just Rose, Butler and Gibson again... Bulls may be in trouble once the Cav's 'good' lineup comes in.
