Series Thread: 2nd Round: Chicago Bulls vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Im ok with a Tech but a Flagrant would be another bad look by the refs. It was 100% clear he was going for the ball after getting beat.

I swear if they call this a Flagrant I might flip out. It was a hard foul but he was reaching for the ball. I hate to see him get hit in the face but come on.

His arm went around his throat. Intent or not they will call it. Anything towards the head or neck they will call everything. Sucks but it's the way it is

Mirotic is out of his depth in this series. Rookie- does not know how to handle himself. He has pretty much been an embarrassment to himself and his team.

he hit his kneck because he lowered his head. Trust me its a bad play by Mirotic and Im ok with a Tech. But it was so clear he went for the ball. it better not be a flagrant 2.

Another game changing call at least its really early.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It was a good call

 

[podsox]

if only niko was that tough on the glass

They dont call Tech's for that just flagrants for contact I guess

God this cleveland team, probably the thinnest in the nba, (everyone but wiggy knows that) is so beat up

I never siad there bench was great-

their bench during the year was Shumpert, Thompson, Delly, Jones- thats pretty damn good 7 deep and not terrible 9 deep.

but yah---

with Shumpert and Thompson i nthe starting lineup and all the injuries- the Bulls should be embarrassed if they lose this game on their home floor.

yeah, but he supposedly got him around the head...which is how they justified it...

 

[purguy12]

See this is where Thibs is a bad coach. After that play u take Mirotic out.

 

[Shanemansj13]

That got Shump pumped up

 

[podsox]

keep playing dumb assholes

I know, im giving you a hard time. when JR was starting they had no scoring off the bench. which is the general barometer for bench strength. truth is their bench was ok. good rebounding/defense. but it was still a thin roster

 

[purguy12]

I really never saw a bench hit so many shots. Im very impressed by the cavs bench.

 

[podsox]

and this is why I would rather LeBron put up 40+ than the role players hitting shots like this

 

[purguy12]

I don't want to be negative but Bulls look shot after that call. They need to man up.

 

[podsox]

danny Crawford overrules a call from 40 ft away

 

[purguy12]

They need to double rose because Della can't cover him.

This is what I'm talking about. I don't get it. The ref was right in front.

 

[purguy12]

Game might be over. Cavs don't miss. Never saw something like this
