I only caught the first half of the Cavs/Bulls game and didn't catch Taj Gibson getting ejected. All I see is Bulls fans on Twitter complaining that if that was LeBron, he wouldn't have gotten tossed as if Rose would've.... Sorry if me venting about this team is annoying so please tell me to stfu if it is lol. Taj was playing like s--- most of the game anyways.

Hoping the Clips come back! But I'm off to bed. I'll see the score in the morning.

I am sick and tired of watching the Bulls run bs sets and getting a contested shot up with 5 seconds left on the shot clock. I love Thibs, but they desperately need changes to that staff. But down 2 with 40 seconds left, 17 on the shot clock, why in the f--- is Jimmy Butler shooting a fadeaway 3 in the corner as soon as the ball is inbounded? WTF are you doing Jimmy?!? We need Pau to come back and give us something, because Noah and Taj are just not getting it done. How does Taj get ejected for trying to get his leg out of Dellevedova's figure 4 leg lock? Should have been a double tech on both and that should have been the end of it. All that being said, if Gasol can come back and give something, the Bulls still have a good shot to bring the series back to Cleveland.

BTW, LeBron is 21-3 when Joey Crawford is reffing, and 41-50 when he doesn't. Ridiculous.

Bulls/Cavs is going pretty much how I thought it would. I figured this would be the bulls best chance but I still figured something would probably happen to where they wouldn't win. Bron hitting that game winner in game 4 probably changed the momentum for good, I think the Cavs finish them off in the next game.

Bulls are too soft tbh, even if D Rose manages to stay healthy, Pau never plays through any somewhat serious injury even in big games. I don't really blame coaching although I guess if it's been this many years and they still can't get over the hump then might as well do something about that I suppose.

Noah especially must be so sick of losing to Lebron lol.

Yeah they have the worst offense in the playoffs IMO. They have great players, but they run 1 play, and if it doesn't work they are scrambling to get a shot up. It's painful to watch sometimes. Noah should be sick, he's been mostly awful all playoffs. And the way Tristan is playing, I'm not sure they miss Love, who was virtually a spot up shooter, as much as the Bulls miss Pau. He was the centerpiece of our offense all year. Just extremely frustrating to see all they chances they had slip away because of poor execution. If you're making a case for Thibs to get fired, this series would work heavily in your favor. Great defensive mind but 0 offensive creativity. Maybe we will get somebody like Alvin Gentry.

Well if the reports are true it sounds like they were gonna fire him regardless of how this series (and potentially any series after this) went. I wonder what happened behind the scenes, must be pretty bad if you're planning to fire someone even if they had won a title.

From what I understand it's similar to the Mark Jackson situation a few years ago. Thibs is known to be very stubborn about the way he does things. He had a big issue with the minutes restriction placed on Rose & Noah throughout the year, and their philosophies don't really line up, and they are both too stubborn to compromise. After Ron Adams (Thibs top offensive assistant) left for GS in the offseason, the front office begged him to hire another offensive assistant, but he refused. The lack of creativity on offense has been there all season, not just in the playoffs. The difference is Pau was there to cover the mistakes and inconsistencies. If he had played the last 2 games, I don't think we go on those 5-7 minute scoring droughts that keep burying us. Just an extremely frustrating series for me. However, I do think they can win Game 6.

Pierce is money

Got home in time to see Al Horford save the game for the Hawks.

 

May 13, 2015

d---, what a heartbreaker. Pierce was looking tight af walking into that locker room.

 

May 13, 2015

Wish Memphis was at 100% this whole series, the games aren't the same when Conley or Allen aren't in there on defense. Memphis started out the game hot but the Warriors are taking over now, hope the game stays close.

f---in Memphis keeps having a chance to make it closer but can't hit easy shots, still within striking distance. Grizzlies offense needs to be more consistent. Gasol's finally starting to get it going now, they need him.

 

May 14, 2015

There isn't a team in the playoffs that can hang with GS when they're hitting like that, especially at home.

 

May 14, 2015

Pierce went from being a hero to a loser quick lol.

 

May 14, 2015

Stupid by Pierce, even if they win that game the series wasn't over lol. Now he gave the Hawks some extra motivation which could be enough to swing this series their way with how close it's been.

 

May 14, 2015

Pau Gasol will be back in the lineup tonight for the Bulls

 

May 14, 2015

Have a feeling with Pau back in the lineup, my boys will force a Game 7.

 

May 14, 2015

I'm gonna pick the Cavs and Clippers to both finish off their series tonight, although I hope I'm wrong just so we see more basketball.
