You on that same idiot logic where losing in the Finals is worse than losing in the 2nd round? Haters be getting stupider every day.

There's a big difference when you get blown out in your home court instead of losing a close game bro ​

You're reaching there. Smith is the STARTING guard, and Shumpert had to start when Smith was out. The Cavs would take Butler/Hinrich for Smith/Shumpert in a second.

The funny thing about everyone propping up the Cavs' "role players" is that everyone on the court except for Lebron tonight was a "role player".

I'm not reaching.

Smith/Shumpert > Butler/Hinrich. Hinrich shouldn't even be in the league. The point is both Smith and Shumpert can shoot the three, create their own shot, defend and pass as good as any 3rd/4th options in the league. Hinrich can't do any of that shyt except make the odd 3.

Nah, I don't even care.

Game was lost the second CLE went small in the 1st Quarter and I saw that no adjustment would be made.

31 points to start then finished with 73 total.

If I were J.Butler I would not use my player option in the offseason.He should wait until next summer when he will become an unrestricted free agent.The max will be higher next season plus he can choose the team he wants to play for without the bulls matching the offer.

So you think if the Bulls had offered the Cavs Butler/Hinrich for Smith/Shumpert, the Cavs wouldn't have taken that deal in a heartbeat?

Bron just straight up called himself the 'coach' in his presser

Post game interview...Bron got his assassins Delly & TT by his sides ready to hand out work.

You can't look at it in a vacuum like that. I'm talking about specifically in this series. The Cavs production was more steady and fluid when Smith and Shumpert were hitting 3s and breaking down the balls defense off the dribble. The Bulls production wasn't the same because outside Rose/Butler the guards/wings couldn't provide even close to the production that Smith and Shumpert did.

I never expect the Bulls to score when Noah/Hinrich are in the game for extended stretches.

I guarantee you that the scoring droughts are directly correlated with those 2 being on the floor. Thibs essentially gift wrapped you guys free plays whenever he strolled both of those guys out on the floor together. Must be wonderful to play a team where you really don't have to defend 2 out of the 5 players on the floor at all.
