Maybe someone like Wiggins? ..

You know I already thought of that.

The only thing I can say in Cav's defense...when they made that trade, no one would have guessed that Shump/Smith/Mosgov were coming to be half the team, or that such a team would look like a potential championship contender.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Go from championship contenders to being impressed with 2nd round exits breh

Don't ever remember any coach saying that Pau was uncoachable, or star players being driven out of town cause they hated playing with Pau.

Hey, since we're talking about how large ex-Lakers played yesterday, whatever happened to that Dwight Howard guy?

Cavs went on a 20-2 run after Niko clotheslined Shumpert.


Can't reiterate how stupid this mother fukker is.

i wanted him ejected. no place for that

You're missing the point.

Let me reiterate. Hinrich should not have been playing. Noah had to play because Pau went down, but even his minutes should have been cut down prior to Pau's injury. The Bulls were playing 3 on 5 on offense when these 2 were in the game. Were you not watching the series?

Hinrich put up 0/0/0 in 20 mins

Noah and Hinrich 55 minutes for a total of 4 points in an elimination game

How did Noah go from the best center (was named ALL NBA first team) last year..... to this

 

[Buckeye Fever]

No one is blameless. Rose made me look at him different with his snow job in game 6.

Noah has my respect but this fukker cant make a layup.

That bytch Noah better not be caught in Cleveland or Columbus. 12 Gauge is lurkin

Bum knee is my guess. I don't think he ever recovered

Noah acknowledged the seriousness of the May 2014 knee surgery, which the Bulls originally termed minor and needing an eight- to 12-week rehabilitation period. Both Noah and the Bulls acknowledged on the eve of training camp that a longer recovery period prohibited Noah from playing full court all offseason.

And Noah has remained on minutes restrictions all season.

"It was more than a scope," Noah said. "That's what it was supposed to be. So it definitely took longer than we expected. But it's nothing that I can't recover from and be back 100 percent and be right."

For all the shyt the Bulls are getting, they are the best team and have the best player (Jimmy) when it comes to defending LeBron. Even in 2013 Bron got slowed down scoring wise significantly by Jimmy.

The role players stepped up in this series for the Cavs and LeBron just hit timely shots and had a huge G5

Delladova reminded me of Goran Dragic vs the Spurs a few years back.

I dont credit the cavs for shyt. Lebron did not have a series for the ages, nor was this Cavs team so great we couldn't overcome them.

The bulls had a roster that was flawed, and a coach who made defending the bulls easy as Sunday morning. Add to the fact we had a team full of role players who couldn't give us shyt, then acting as if cleveland was just on they shyt and we couldn't do anything is laughable. If we did anything to counter the cavs small ball, and if we would have created max space on the floor for rose and jimmy to operate, we win this series. If the role players would have hit shots, we win this series. We choked this series away, and blew a golden opportunity to get to the finals, that might not be there for us again for the next few years. Bulls blew it.
