These late whistles are such a [expletive] joke.

LOL AT THAT [expletive] CALL

[Sammy Sofa]

And this is all happening with Kyrie hobbled on the sideline.

 

Crappy calls aside, this is mostly on the Bulls.

[UMFan83]

Are we the only ones seeing this [expletive]? I just have never seen reffing this bad. God I hate bitching about the refs but I mean seriously

and love out. it's hard for me to be mad about officiating when the other team is clearly just better.

[SpongeWorthy]

Way too many scoring draughts this season/series. Hopefully Rose will be a better slump buster next season.

[Derwood]

Basketball is stupid

[UMFan83]

I remember when Thibs teams guarded the 3 point line really well. Granted the Cavs are inexplicably hitting some tough shots but they are getting a lot of open looks.

 

Just let LeBron get his points and stop throwing help at him. He always finds the open shooter. You have one of the best defenders in the league guarding him. Let him go 1-on-1 and he will get his 30-35 points but won't be able to find their many shooters open

 

Also maybe GarPax will take this as a lesson that they need to surround their stars with shooters. Ok Niko didn't work out (in terms of 3 point shooting), Thibs refused to play Doug/he wasn't ready. But damn you have Dunleavy and then who? Maybe Butler and maybe Brooks.

 

Look at the Cavs. They get James Jones and Mike Miller on minimum deals, and manage to get Shumpert and JR Smith in season, while the Bulls struggled to get any spacing with Dunleavy injured a long chunk of the season, killing the offense with opponents clogging the lane

I'm just trying to figure out what happened; it's honestly like the Bulls just decided to try and bludgeon everyone else after Kyrie, and when that didn't work they just started hurling up terrible shots, bludgeoning even more and leaving almost everyone open behind the 3 point line. How does a very much in control game suddenly just completely unravel over some bad/missed calls?

If you guys want to watch something fun, the Cubs are mid-rally on CSN

Yes, this. Let a hurting LeBron try to do all the inside scoring he wants; stop giving them so many open 3's.

seems like the perfect thing for the mouthbreathers to pin on thibs as the bulls fire him

[Sammy Sofa]

It's hysterical that that Tristan Thompson +1 is being fawned over as a highlight. He literally jumps on top of a defender who is looking the other way and somehow draws the foul.

In the bigger picture, yeah, that sucks, but in the context of this specific quarter how the hell does he let them spaz out like that?

[Guest]

shumpert had to have done something to piss off niko. that just came out of nowhere.

[Wilson A2000]

LeBron is going to put the Bulls out of their misery in the second half. If Thibs if fired and Holberg stays in Iowa, who would be the next best coaching candidate?

[SpongeWorthy]

Thibs will go to New Orleans and say all kinds of awful things about GarPax so we can't sign AD.

[Wilson A2000]

Cavs so confident they aren keeping Kyrie out. Hahahahaha!

[SpongeWorthy]

This is agony

[Sosa21MVP]

The number of sub-20 point quarters the Bulls have produced in this series is fairly amazing. Granted I'm not a fan and did not watch them much during the regular season but I was under the impression they actually had more scoring punch this season compared to past Thibodeau teams.

[Derwood]

This game is so gross

[Guest]

lebron in foul trouble but we won't be able to capitalize because we can't hit a [expletive] shot

[SpongeWorthy]

Nothing to show on the scoreboard for holding a team to 2 points in half a quarter

[SpongeWorthy]

Why is rose giving up his dribble 35 feet away from the basket to pass to noah behind the three point line

[rawaction]

That was [expletive] goaltending. LOL.
