What's with the weirdass rumour about Noah punching some fan last night?

 

Well thats the 3rd Noah rumor I've heard today involving fan interaction.

 

The first was the Caldwell Jones comments on twitter, the second was Noah claiming a fan spit on his when he was walking to the tunnel after the game, and now this.

[Wilson A2000]

Wow, Cavs. Just wow.

Cavs were also about to give away 20,000 arm slings last night to show support for Love. Didn't decide to do it.

 

Quality organization!

I have no idea what to make of this series. Both teams won their games with unsustainable outside shooting. No idea what to expect in game three

Based on the past few years, if LeBron feels like playing hard the Bulls will lose and if he doesn't the Bulls will win.

 

That's simplifying things but it sure feels sometimes that we only win when he decides to half-ass a game.

I feel like LeBron has always obsessed over being seen as an unselfish player when if he wants he can just physically dominate you and score lots of points. I feel like that was the difference in how he played between game 1 and game 2. If the Bulls don't shoot abysmally in the first quarter though that's a much closer game. I would think they wouldn't shoot like that again, seeing as I felt they missed more open shots than normal but basketball can be a strange game some times.

The Bulls outscored the Cavs in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters of Game 2, but the 1st was just too much to come back from

Too bad they weren't playing under old CBA rules.

People think LeBron didn't try in game 1 or "half-assed" it?? He wasn't nearly as aggressive, but don't confuse aggression with effort.

I don't know what LeBron meant by "feeling the Bulls out" during game 1, but he could have said something else

[Careless]

That's one hell of a funk Noah is in.

[bcl412]

Noah is the only guy rebounding. He needs to hit a couple.

[Wilson A2000]

Rose, Noah, Jimmy 2-21. Van Gundy responds, "I have no problem with how any of them are playing."

[bcl412]

Is the NBA nostalgic for early 2000's basketball with all this allowed contact?

[Wilson A2000]

Thibs better realize that Mirotic creates mismatches like this and play him more

[Wilson A2000]

Kyrie has nothing, LeBron 5-17 and you're down 6

[UMFan83]

Yeah they've hit like 7 straight 3s until that Lebron miss and are shooting 10-21 for the game. There's your difference.

[bjam12]

This feels like a must win

[bcl412]

Every three they chuck goes in. I hate this.

[Wilson A2000]

Brooks is infuriating. Seems every time he touches the ball, he thinks it's his turn to shoot.

[bcl412]

If we can steal a game when the Cavs hit double digit threes that'd be cool

LeBron with as many turnovers as field goals though

Jimmy Butler

[rawaction]

Gibson has kept the bigs off the offensive boards, stopped Irving in the lane, and LeBron while isolated on him whilr he was driving. With apologies to Butler who has an impossible task, Gibson is the defense.

[bjam12]

I do like how Rose is getting to the paint at will.

[Wilson A2000]

Rose please pass when the defense collapses on you
