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

I guess you havent heard DRose talk. Lebron actually sounds intelligent. DRose can barely speak.

1st person to say that. never thought that. Im not saying Rose is smart as hell or anything but I never thought he was stupid. Also no one is comparing him to LBJ. LBJ actions speak for it self. Guy just screws up everything just like Arod.

Yeah, I saw the graphic on ESPN showing that they both have 13 drives in the first 2 games... and yet Rose has no FT. That, on its own, doesn't mean much to me, though. I'd like to see each player's 13 drives, and how each drive ended. I still have both games on DVR and I might do it out of curiosity.

Turns out it is completely unnecessary. NBA.com has put out some amazing stat features over the last year or so. This one I just found out about .

You can click on the stats of someone's field goal attempts and/or makes and instantly see video of each shot.

For example, here is the 9 shots attempted by Rose this series inside of 5 ft.

Rose has attempted 31 shots outside of 8 ft and 15 shots inside 8 ft.

Just got an alert on my phone the Shump may miss game 3

So they dont have JR, now dont have Shump.

The adversity continues...sigh

 

[purguy12]

Well if Iman is out then that answers my question.

 

[gordontrue]

Yeah, his status was set to Questionable. That would suck if they get back JR only to lose shump. Right now, though, my money is on him playing. We'll see.

Now you are comparing him to ARod, who is a liar and cheater. Lebron is very well-spoken, he might do and say some things that might not make sense or he is trying to stir up controversy but he is nothing compared to ARod. He is respected.

Nice video. So yeah Thibs was right he got hacked on most of them and haven't got called. Its weird. I don't know what it is but Rose has never really got the calls like others do. Irving you blow on him and he gets a call. They treat Irving like he is LBJ. Crazy stuff.

groin injuries are tough to come back from with only a day off

 

[Shanemansj13]

Kyrie is becoming a superstar. DRose is just a star and will never be more, maybe bc of injuries or for other reasons. He used to get plenty of calls, seems like refs dont respect him anymore idk

He will probably sit out, they need him the rest of the series and like you said, groin injuries are rough. Tough injury.

Good point... plus that's the type of injury where playing before its 100% healed usually just prolongs the healing time.

 

[gordontrue]

The video of Noah "hitting a fan" is out. That's not a hit... not a push... I'm not sure you could even call it a tap.

Non-story.

A love tap if anything

Arod is very well spoken but they do these stupid things to make them look bad. LBJ: The Decision, changing numbers(to respect Jordan) and then goes back to it, Headband for team unity and next game gone. The guy just gets in his own way. He might be books smart but the guy has no common sense.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

He is the best offensive rebounder in the game, that being said not worth anything close $13

Neither one will ever be asked to make a speech on how to speak the English language

LeBron speaks much better when someone from S.I. writes a fairy tale for him

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

But how do you say 2 days ago you wanted to look like your teammates but 2 days later the headband is back on your head? Lol

Cause.......whatever words come out of his mouth means absolutely nothing.

Don't get me wrong Irving is awesome and have stated he will be really good but he needs to win an MVP or at least come in 2nd or 3rd in the MVP race before u can be a super star or pass Rose.

He seems to always say the right thing. Of course he is into himself a little too much, all great athletes are.

He wrote it and you know it!

Rose was (from his MVP season) and still a superstar. He never be as dominating as before but he will always be a household name. Where as Kyrie is a star who may become a superstar. We already seen him on team by himself and wasn't pretty and you have to be more than just the 2nd best player on the #2 seed in the East to be a superstar.

True, but he is still very young. I meant he is on the road to becoming a superstar, could be this years' playoffs, you never know.

It will be very hard to win MVP with Mr. MVP on your team, honestly.
