2014-2015 Chicago Bulls Regular Season

[Sammy Sofa]

Noah hasn't been much scoring-wise all season; he's only averaged 7 points all season and just 5 points over the last 10 games (4.5 in the postseason). Last night was the first time in this series where he faltered.

 

Game 1: 6 points, 3 steals, 1 block, 4 assists, 11 rebounds

 

Game 2: 6 points, 1 block, 5 assists, 19 rebounds

 

Game 3: 2 points, 2 steals, 1 block, 5 assists, 12 rebounds.

 

Maybe need to add another alarm. The Bucks are an excellent defensive team and really finally turned that on for a game a half and managed to eke out a win when Rose and Noah stunk it up for most of a game and the Bulls were turning it over left and right. Noah's not some kind of liability out there.

[Wilson A2000]

Noah's not some kind of liability out there.

 

He's not horrible, but the Bulls are better with Niko. So play Niko.

He's very far from horrible. And he's not blocking Mirotic.

Love might be done for the playoffs

holy crap

[RynoRules]

I don't blame the Cavs for retaliating. Olynyk unquestionably yanked Love's arm purposefully. I doubt he thought he'd pull it out of the socket, but it was a dirty move:

Hopefully he gets suspended.

Love saying his shoulder feels better and he's hoping he's ready for game 1.

[Sammy Sofa]

Target that shoulder.

Hopefully at least his shooting is off as he deals with pain

@WindhorstESPN: Nothing will be known for sure until MRI but word within Cavs team tonight is Kevin Love likely out a minimum of 2 weeks.

[Guest]

sweet, so he'll be able to get a few days of practice in before Game 1

[Guest]

Game 1 of Bulls/Cavs will be Saturday if Bulls win in 5. If 6 or 7, it'll be Monday.

JR Smith should get 2+ games. Not sure how his clear punch is much different than meta world peace elbow.

 

Not having love and jr smith available to space the floor makes a huge difference and I think hopefully sets us up to split the games in Cleveland.

[Andy]

Love out for the Bulls series.

 

Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo

Cavs say Kevin Love (shoulder) is unavailable for the East Semis and his status beyond that will be determined over the next several days.

[UMFan83]

And JR Smith suspended 2 games

 

Pretty favorable outcome for the Bulls. I'm not used to them having fortunate things happen

[Careless]

Bulls start out down 9-0, go on a 16-4 run (and counting)
