Thats not how you get calls.

then how do you?

Laugh if you want, No one was hitting their open jumpers, no one was able to create their own shot.




They were absolutely clueless out there without Lebron.





Dont even get me started with the Bulls.

I saw this...


Didn't the Wizards try that?

How'd it work out again?

2nd mvp for the king coming up!

What's going on in this statement?


What I get from this is:
I love LBJ, but I don't really like him but I like him and now I really like him a lot.....?!?!?

Not a bad effort from Chicago considering they got no love from the refs. They needs just come with more confidence next game.

great minds think alike

They need a prolific shooter tho, which Joe Johnson is. Would be a good fit. Not at max money tho, which he's gonna get.

They need a post scorer more than anything. They cant get easy points anywhere on the court.

If I was a Bulls fan, I'd be about done with Deng too.

Should have just kept BG. And then tried to get Wade this summer...Joe is a shooter but he still doesn't put them at that elite level. Rose looks like he's just going to continue to get better but I really feel that an inside presence (Bosh, Amare) would make him even more lethal.


It would have ultimately been dumb to keep BG at the money he was asking for. I agree w/ the rest tho.

Joe might flourish in Chi-town but if they got Wade...

Im rooting for this, only cuz Im tired of seeing Wade play in 3/4 empty arenas at home, but I wonder how effective Wade & Rose could be together. Cuz they both do about the same things, most effective on-ball. Rose can definitely defer, but him & BG worked cuz BG is a shooter. Defensively tho, a Wade/Kirk/Rose backcourt would be

.

They'd prolly be better off going for Bosh/Amare, and snatching up X. Henry/J. Crawford or whoever in the draft, which is loaded with 2's this year.


The way Rose drops dimes I mean today he had over 10 assist but had 7 TO's.  If he had a go to guy like Amare or Bosh and have Noah banging next to one of them.  Wow I might have to start watching the Bulls again regularly for the first time since 98.

Rose alone makes me want to watch but against good teams he gets no love from the refs.
  


ive been saying this since the 2nd 1/2 of the season started they wer cutting" cost giving away salmons & tyrus ok, ill accept that but if we get AMARE its over for the eastern confrence hands  down the pick n pop would be  starting amare,noah,gibson,kirk,ROSE

 

[jmause3]

^ No way could we start Gibson at the 3 but im more concerned with getting Bosh or Amare than getting a shooting guard

@ Gibson playing SF.

Desperate teams take desperate measures.


I love the salty, irrational fans though--- it's quite amusing

I'm impressed with the mini Bulls comeback. That first half was bad. We bolted down on defense in the second half. Luol Deng was terrible.

And I'm saying this as impartial as I can say it....the officiating was terrible. Cavs got the benefit of over seven calls in my book.

Oh well, good game Cavs. See you game 2.

 

[jdb1523]

^Yea the mini-comeback was nice, I'll give you guys credit there. Beyond Rose though...you guys need a Wade (and I truly think that's who you'll get).

We looked good for the most part. Shaq missed his baby hook, but I think that's because of the thumb. As for the cause of the mini-comeback: LeBron trying to takeover, holding the ball at the top of the key and jacking up jumpers. When we move the ball around consistently...we look unstoppable.

Series.

 

[bittersweet]

I said that if the officials let them play physical & call an equal amount of fouls ... Bulls win. Easy.

Rose gets fined 90% of the time he goes in ... calls that they call EASILY when a Cav goes in.

If this series was fair, then we could talk.

Hilarious.

Honestly, Lebron isn't as good as people try to make him. If Chicage recognizes this and stop listening to commentators, ESPN and certain NTers talk about how good Cleveland is, they can beat them. Just like MOrlando did last year.

Quoted for truth.

Sorry Bulls fans, yall don't stand a damn chance. The Cavs were very rusty as a starting unit on offense, D was on point though. Even with us being rusty and missing 3's that we usually make, we still dusted the Chi off rather easily. D Rose needs a lot more help and if it's a Stat or a Bosh the Bulls will be a problem in the coming years. I think game two might be a blowout of like 20+ cause the Cavs starters have gotten some game time together, knocked the rust, and there were a lot of holes in the Bulls defense and those shots we missed today, will be made on Monday. I know it's only one game, but it's evident that the Bulls aint got nothing coming

 

[bittersweet]

Do you think the Bulls were playing their best? Rose was shooting like 40% for God's sake.

Hinrich nor Noah was playing well ... the way you guys were playing (your best), it should have been a blowout, but it wasn't.

See y'all in Game 2.
