Game Thread: Bulls vs Cavs Game Day Thread: 8pm TNT

Cavs should have practiced free throws in the offseason. Even Mo is missing them

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

you can see that adding Mo and Jeff were nice pickups...especially Mo. I trust Mo so much more than JR to give the Cavs offense if/when they need it. Jeff can still move. Like they said on the broadcast- he was the only guy that looked good in the preseason on the whole team.

When did I ever say they weren't good pickups?
Still, it's all about James.

East is a lot better then last year. I know cavs will be right there but they don't look deeper and that bad back of LBJ is not a good sign. Again I think Cavs will be fine its just not a gimme that they make the finals this year.

I just dont agree- I think the Bulls are the only team with a chance to beat them- and I just dont think the Bulls have enough offense.....not enough 3 pt shooting...but we shall see- thats why they play the games.

This 2nd unit just killed the Bulls. Very disappointed in them.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I like Mo but Jefferson is a pointless move. Vet help thats all.

Jefferson shot 43% from 3 last year. Decent defender for his age and a good shooter

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

This game is so typical Bulls.
Did anyone doubt a scoring drought wouldn't be coming at some point?

 

[Shanemansj13]

He's better than fucking Marion

 

[WiggyRuss]

good for Hoiberg...McDermont played well in the first half and hes playing him in some crunch time minutes here...i think that trust of the young guys will really go a long way for the Bulls this year...Thibs just didnt have that I thought..

He's an upgrade from Miller/Marion..that's for sure.

damn it Noah holding his knee. It never ends with the Bulls. always some kind of injury. Hope he is ok.

I agree. I like his rotations. I do think he stuck with Moore and Brooks a little too long. Main starters come back in and Boom up 6.

I guess Im just not a Jefferson fan. never was.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Id think LeBron will hopefully start trying here at some point- especially with Obama watching....that pass Jefferson just threw outta bounds LeBron is supposed to get to that corner- thats basic basketball- and all this other crap...LeBron looks like he pooped himself

Fuck Noah, except when he's playing the Cavs.
I don't want to see him or anyone else injured though.

 

[WiggyRuss]

all right finally LeBron starts trying

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I guess Im just not a Jefferson fan. never was.

I'm no fan of him either, but at this stage of careers he's an upgrade to whom he replaced.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

all right finally LeBron starts trying

It'll pretty much be in his hands from here on out.
Prob comes down to who has a better last 6 minutes, James or Butler.
I'll take James, but hope I'm wrong.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

James bought a call there.
He last touched the ball.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I CANNOT WAIT until Kyrie gets back and they can have a lineup of

Mo
Kyrie
Bron
Thompson
Love

that will be a freaking KILLER freaking lineup

 

[purguy12]

sloppy 1st game but damn Im happy basketball is back.
