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

winner..winner. Gasol would need to be 100% and the Bulls would have to win in Cleveland to have a shot. Lebron's confidence will be sky high. Looking like a Clips versus Cavs finals.

noooooo....!!!

Noah and that guy are huge liabilities for the Bulls.....They really have not done anything on the offensive side of the ball and not sure their D/rebounding

Mirotic is a good player, but his game is entirely based on the outside shot. He hasn't had it in the playoffs.

The Wizards will crush either of these teams

Dont pencil in either one right now...even without John Wall

That was some ugly and horrible basketball

great great game.....just unreal

That free time out fucked us. I have no idea why they needed to review that play anyway. An extra .7 seconds doesn't mean near as much as a free time out.

There is a huge difference between .8 & 1.5

Seriously the crying by Bulls fans every fucking game is a damn joke

The refs always do that when they review. THIS isn't something new. EVERY TEAM GET TO GO TO THEIR HUDDLE when the refs are reviewing somehting.

Bulls fans are the biggest cry babies on here

Can we agree thought that that absolutely has to stop. By the way it was initially called that game probably should have been headed into overtime.

Yes Noah absolutely fouled him and it should have been called but it is not unusual for whistles to get swallowed at that point in the game.

When there are no timeouts left absolutely no one should ever be allowed to huddle up and draw a play.

Beautiful clutch shot by Lebron though.

Why did they need to review though? The play was so obvious.

Great game? This was a pretty bad basketball game from the start. High drama at the end but pretty poorly played game by both sides

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

The Cavs won fairly.

The Bulls have no offensive players without Rose or Gasol being a playmaker to spoon feed them.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Great game.

No doubt it has to stop but Bulls fans acting like the refs only did it to benefit Cleveland is comical. This is nothing new since the NBA started reviewing plays in the final 2 minutes.

They took off too much time. They were not reviewing who ball it was. They took off an extra .7 which is huge at that point of the game

Would Lebron have made that with .8 seconds left? Would Lebron have gotten the ball there with 2.0 seconds left and no time out? That rule is inherently flawed if the team gets a free time out. It sucks, but that's the way it is. I hope they change the rule soon so teams can't benefit from failing on a drawn up play like that, but that's just me. The refs weren't the reason for this loss though.

true enough. bad game by both teams 'til towards the end. Bulls damn near disappearing in the 4th quarter didn't help...

I'm not sure if he would have. The rule sucks but they got the review correct. Players should be forced to stay on the court. If the time keeper didn't take off the extra .7 we're probably in OT right now

No I am absolutely with you but I hate it every time I see it happen and desperately wish they would change it. I felt everyone got a reasonably fair shake that game. I do hate that it ended that way but very exciting game. Hope to see more.

And we still don't cry as much as Lebron. Or
As much as Heat fans that lost their savior and can't move on.

I said "how can u let Lebron get the ball"?? That was awful.

Not sure...The Bulls play great D and they made the Cavs sans Love and a hurt Irving play their game and Lebron willed thm to victory. If Irving gets healtier, I don't see the young Wizards matching them. Honestly, if Korver just plays to his regular season average, then the Hawks could beat the Wizards. The Bulls minus Gasol won't go to the Finals though.

We, the Heat fans, have moved on (still enjoying our 3 titles in the last 9 years)..apparently you can't as you are still showing a Jordon shot over the Cavs....LOL. Pretty hypocritical.

They had no need to guard the inbounder. That person who was guarding the inbound pass should have been helping Butler with Lebron forcing the Cavs to go somewher else there.

Whoever win game 5 will win the series
