Game Thread: Bulls @ Cleveland: 8:30 PM ABC

[Bolts]

I'd like to see KD go to the Wizards. That would be a fun team to watch. I think Wall is the closest thing the league has to Westbrook.

He's really good, needs to be a better 3pt shooter though.

Honestly, not just because I don't like LeBron, but if the Cavs don't win a title this year, it is a good thing for the NBA. It shows a coach is still important to the game of basketball at the highest level, and this thing hasn't just turned into an AAU playground.

What will happen if they don't make the Finals. Would they fire Lue and hire another coach . That would mean they would be paying 3 HC. Wow.

Down 10, some momentum going Bulls way. Lets see how Lue does in this situation.

2-12 on FT. This team doesn't deserve to win.

Yeah and LeBron's 6th head coach in his time in Cleveland. Hmmm, wonder what the underlying issue is here.

If they don't make the Finals, I think the possibility of LeBron leaving increases greatly.

The Dallas series was a hot mess thanks to LBJ choking. Otherwise they would have gone Back to Back to Back

Yeah those Miami teams should have had at least 3. That Dallas series will always haunt me. Game 2 after Dwade hit that 3 to put them up 15 in the 4th that should have been game and maybe the series. Dwade was legendary in that finals series and it's all forgotten because they lost.

But that humiliating loss gave birth to a Lebron we had never seen before. 2012, 2013, and 2014 Lebron played like a man possessed. I don't think he reaches that level of maturation and that level of dominance and efficiency without the devastating loss in 2011.

2014 the Spurs were simply the better team, but had that game 1 had normal conditions I think the Heat would have pushed it to 7 and would have had a chance to complete the 3 peat (heat peat)

 

[OregonDucks]

Would be impressive at this moment if Lue could actually coach and get cavs back into this game and win.

 

[OregonDucks]

Oh boy....

 

[Jakology]

Kevin Love is just....Ugh. I don't know what to make of this situation. I think a trade is coming.

Bulls coming off a back to back and just dominating the Cavs. How are the Cavs the best team in the East.

 

[Heatles84]

Lebron's jumper is atrocious this year. He's shooting 29 % from 3 and no longer hits long 2s and mid ranges consistently. Defenders are giving him so much space literally daring him to take the shot.

He's also shooting career lows in free throws since returning to Cleveland too.

He must miss the Miami sun

I wouldn't be surprised if his back issues are the cause of his shooting slump. I called it before the season even started.

Because their record say they are

duh its just shocking. I have watched the Cavs about 10 times and I don't see anything great or good about this team. Its like they took a BIG step backwards from last year. Is it a Age thing. I have no clue. Or is it that a lot of these players got Paid and now they don't care. Its weird.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Wonder who Blatt is rooting for tonight?

 

[bksballer89]

3 bench points for Cleveland

 

[bksballer89]

Cleveland win this game with Blatt as coach

 

[trojanfan12]

There was zero intensity, just players not caring and running whatever the hell they wanted.

How is that different from tonight?

 

[Logicallylethal]

17 ft dagger to seal game 7. No hesitation, ice in his veins...THIS Lebron was unstoppable. His form and confidence just isn't the same anymore.

They're not right now. Easy schedule inflated their record. They have a lot of work to do.
