I was not one that freaked out but it's understandable for a Cleveland sports fan to expect the worst
Game 1 basically saw every post-love injury fear realized, so yeah I was on the ledge or at least near it. A lot of that was just leftover frustration from game 4 though (which I can't say is completely gone since I really think we'd be favored over anyone.right now with love in the lineup). But tonight obviously changes the complexion of this series a bit. We obviously need to.take one in Chicago, which won't.be.way, but.if we do that, I think we advance. And I still.wouldn't bet on atl/Washington against us in a best.of 7. Interested to see if we go small in game 3. Play shumpert, jr, and kyrie together, and slide LeBron to the 4. That preserves our spacing while allowing us to bring Thompson off the bench
If they get this Shump and play him at the 3 with JR back. Slide Bron to the 4. That's a boarder line problem for Chicago. Can't play Gasol and Noah together against that line up and it mitigates the front court advantage they have. Slash and kick all day.
Tonight was fun. Attack the rim LeBron is the best kind of LeBron. If Grif doesn't win exec of the year, the award is worthless. Shump has been a boss both games.
That lineup is the best way to mitigate love's loss I think. Can't replace the player, but the spacing he provides is invaluable. That lineup retains it while preserving Thompson as a bench option. Also, Noah is a problem for Chicago right now. He's giving them nothing on offense.
That's stupid . Curry deserves mvp and Kerr deserves COY. But did they even add anyone to their roster in the off-season?
So you will be in the building when the Orlando Magic Chicago Bulls close out the series in Cleveland?
LeBron and Kyrie played like shit and it took a miracle bank shot for the Bulls to win in Chicago. I feel a lot better than I did after Game 1.
Kyrie was just abysmal. They're going to have a hard time winning when he plays like that and LeBron is just ok. The role guys all played great tonight. Series isn't over, but they have to win the next game or it is.
Game 1- Bulls couldn't miss. We still could've won. Game 2- We dominated. Game 3- LeBron and Kyrie we not good. We could've won. We are running out of lives, but I still think we win this in 6.
You working Tuesday and Wednesday or taking any time off? Girl I work with took off Wednesday and Thursday to go to game 2
just inexcusable i was on board with this dude being shown the door after his moronic attempt to take a timeout but this just pushes it up another notch. he has no place as head coach of a contending team
Yeah....having the best player in the world and drawing up a play for him to inbound the ball is pretty much a fireable offense. None of those guys must have any respect for him.
Is there anyone impressive left? Maybe LA? All these teams look so underwhelming I think we win this series if kyrie gets it together. Right now he seems to be channeling playoff mo williams. Hoping he isn't hurt too badly
I don't give a shitfuck if Blatt is a faggot idiot as long as we win. Yes, I understand he could hinder wins, but there is exactly zero that can be done about the coach at this point, sooooo...
Really, what's the point of continuing on about it? I don't think many people are going to stand in the way of insults to Blatt.
i was just joking around not giving the ball to best player in the world to win and trying to pull a chris webber is absolutely something that is worthy of discussion for a team with title aspirations
Kyrie' leg is worse than what's being led on. I gave him crap after game 3, but after paying attention today it's pretty obvious how bad it is. He doesn't have the mobility to create his shot or any lift on his jumper.
