Is the NBA really going to allow a Lebron v. Kobe less finals for the 2nd year in a row?

Even though I really don't care for LeBron, this finals match up really needs to happen with Kobe still in his prime.

Bah, I'm going to miss game 1.

[bcl412]

I'm more excited for this game than I should be.

Not missing much.

Still?

I'm over it now.

Well Cleveland sure snuffed the life out of this series pretty quickly. I'm pretty surprised at how much better their effort is. Lack of execution and talent I can see but a Cleveland team that hasn't had anything to play for in a month getting every loose ball and out hustling everywhere on the floor is a little disappointing.

 

The PnR D has been astonishingly bad.

[Careless]

What a terrible foul call

It probably helps to know that you actually have a chance to win a championship. The Bulls are just playing to not get swept in the first round.

I'm shocked at how badly Varejao has abused Noah in this game.

If it makes you feel better, Varejao is maybe the most underrated player in the NBA. He's the 2nd best player on the Cavaliers.

I'm watching at the bar...has the officiating been as dubious as it's looked so far? I feel like every bulls player has 3 fouls.

Shaq elbowed Noah in the head/neck while holding the ball and Noah got called for a foul. Bulls have 13 fouls so far

To the ABC announcers: Stop comparing LBJ to Jordan. Just stop it. MJ is better, will always be better. If LBJ wins 4 or more titles we can start having this discussion, until then shut up.

Just look at all of the effort we have to give on the offensive end to score a basket. Then look on the other end of the court and look at how easy it is for Cleveland.

 

I was hoping we could win a game in this series. I don't see that happening now.

I read that the Bulls take more 15-20 foot jumpers(the worst shot on the floor) than any team in the NBA. Not sure if that's due to personnel(no shooters for Rose to kick to) or coaching, but it's the big reason why they're not a very good offensive team.

[SpongeWorthy]

Yep, a jump shooting team that can't shoot...and definitely can't shoot 3s.

 

I really hope we can S&T Deng away for a piece this summer.

It certainly doesn't help matters when you don't have many good jump shooters on your team.

I also read that and I also read Rose took more of those shots than any player in the league but he made just under 50% of those shots.

i would have settled for a decently played game today after the blackhawks and cubs have both lost.
