    At least Pau is playing tomorrow
  2. UMFan83
    And you guys were worried about this series
  3. UMFan83
    God dammit Soler. Sucks because you know those breaking pitches are coming. He might be the worst Cub you want to see up in that situation
  4. UMFan83
    Come on Soler

    This Harvey fella is good at the baseball

    After next year we lose Noah's 13.4m and Hinrich's 2.9m (im assuming hes picking up his players option) but will have added $13m from Jimmy going from ~2.1m to 15m a year (I cant remember if thats the max number). So really only 3m saved, possibly more if Pau doesn't exercise his PO after next year, and possibly less if they spend more money to replace guys like Dunleavy. The key though is the fact that the cap will explode over next year so the Bulls can probably get whoever they want if they can outsell 29 other teams.

    Ugh, no, please no. This team is (or should be) too good for 'well, it takes a little of the sting away' or 'what a great series'. This team had a trip to the Finals in their sights and barring 2 straight wins over LeBron (which we've never done in the playoffs), they let it slip away. There's nothing that takes the sting away from that. LeBron is 15-2 in his last 17 playoff series dating back to the 2010 ECF. Beating LeBron is a tremendous accomplishment similar to beating Jordan in the 90s where he went 25-1 in his last 26 playoff series (Jesus that looks sexy typing out). Obviously its a disappointment if we lose the series, we all hope the Bulls can win a championship and I think most at least think we have an outside shot, but its been a great series and 4 of the 5 games so far could have gone either way. This is definitely not the last run for this team...if anything I think they will be better once Niko steps up and we make some moves to improve the role players on this team. LeBron will be 31 next year and has a ton of miles on his legs. I don't care how much of a physical specimen he is, he will wear down sooner than later. The future is bright.

    Isn't that the only bad team we've played or will play for awhile? Edit: Nevermind the Rockies suck now.

    So it would be very frustrating to lose this series given the Cavs injuries, but damn if this isn't a great series between probably the 2 best teams in the East. The only reason this isn't an ECF matchup is because the Hawks had an incredible regular season somehow. These are the two best teams in the East, so for me it takes a little of the sting knowing we lost to the other top team with the best player in basketball. It's better than if we got the 4 seed and lost to the stupid wizards in the first round.

    Looks like ESPN had Bryant with 21 hits coming into this game while fangraphs had 22. He may have had a hit taken away in a previous game by an official scorer that fangraphs didn't catch. he did. len and JD talked about it today. from brewers series. Yeah that bloop RBI double was changed to an error. He lost a hit and an RBI
  12. UMFan83
    Bryant 3-4, 3B, HR Rizzo 1-2, 3 BB, 2B Soler 2-5 Castro 2-5, 2B

    Chris Mannix from SI is really animated on Twitter about the whole Taj ejection. I don't think he's a Bulls fan either. That flagrant 2 (instead of double technical) and that ridiculous LeBron continuation had a big impact on the result of the game. So frustrating. I really hate to complain about officiating but it's been noticeably bad this series and not just against the Bulls (although my biased eyes see more against the Bulls than Cavs)
  14. UMFan83
    That cannot be real
  15. UMFan83
    Bulls FG% by game: 1: 50% 2: 40.5% 3: 37.8% 4: 36% 5: 31.8% (so far)
  16. UMFan83
    Lebron basically just decided he would like to win this one
  17. UMFan83
    Nah I don't think so. It will be difficult no doubt but more Mirotic will eat up some of the loss from Gasol's absence and half the Cavs are banged up. The Bulls have also shot poorly the last 3 games and are due for a better shooting night.
  18. UMFan83
    Probably difficult for them to commit to play a game on Thursday with only one day notice. They could just tell both teams on Sunday night 'hey if Tampa wins on Tuesday you guys are playing Thursday' I wish they scheduled like the NBA, where sometimes the last Game 7 of a previous round and the first game 1 of the next round are played on the same day. One game is on the east coast and another west coast so you could easily have Tampa-Montreal start at 6 CT and Hawks-Ducks at 8:30 or 9.
  19. UMFan83
    Apparently Boudreau let it slip that the series is starting on Sunday, or at least he believes that. Which would suck as its more time for Perry to get healthy and of course it means 10 freaking days between games. Has any team ever had 10 days between playoff series? Seems like if that's not the record, its close to it. Edit: [tweet] [/tweet]

    I hope Castro goes yard off of him

    Not enough Vines/Youtubes of Bryant and Rizzo going back to back. You people are not utilizing the new board features properly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiXCyJRulXk

    Aren't there a lot of moving pieces going into 17 minutes over 4 games such to make that number damn near worthless? Oh, no doubt. That's an incredibly sample size (over the course of a small sample size of four games) with a lot of mitigating factors there. That said, it does feed two into two popular thinking that seem reasonable: Gibson is playing far better than Noah right now and Mirotić does wonders to space the floor when he's in at the 4. What is the best site to get +/- info? I want to see how all the big combos have fared in +/- this postseason. I feel like any combo with Mirotic is going to be a +.

    How did I not read this thread today? I guess I assumed you were talking about boring old baseball in here.
