Over? Considering how Lebron has played in this series and Kyrie for that matter? Not really.

Also Rebs I told you Rockets are shit

Bulls need Pau back.

All these plus minus garbage telling me the Bulls are better when he is off the floor mean nothing when I can clearly see without him, Rose and Butler are the only two able to create a shot at all.

They went 7 minutes without scoring at some point last night

Yup and everyone talks about his defense but no way in hell is it worse than what Mirotic displayed yesterday.

Well yeah, Mirotic cant gaurd anyone lol

Pau is at least 7 foot.

Somebody can't help themselves.......... he is right though...

What some don't understand is yes most recent winners have used the 3. But they also used the inside game as much possible to create those open 3's.

And when those weren't dropping they had that inside game to fall back on, never seen a team win it all without it and I doubt I ever will.

I'm watchin Game 3 of Bulls-Cavs....... what is going on with the Cavs?

They have a great opportunity to cause havoc with mismatches and just aren't doing it.

They are paying WAY too much attention to Noah when the Bulls have the ball and why is LeBron still playing as the 3? What is he doing? Get your ass down low on the post, play as the 4, create the mismatch, force the double-team and get your guys easier open shots.

It's basic basketball. Shooting all these J's and basically bailing the Bulls out? All this Iso crap? How it is 2-2 with this garbage is unreal.

Lebron hates getting in the post for some reason, despite the fact he's way more effective there.

Although tbf when he has gone to the post, Butler has defended about as well as you can.

Well, he needs to man up. This is the only series that he will HAVE to do it really.

He's playing in the post as the 3. Meaning that there are only two guys on the perimeter who can hit a shot, Thompson ain't no offence threat and it allows another big to provide cover help for Butler, letting him gamble and play aggressively.

If he plays as the 4, there will be no help for Butler, meaning he can't gamble. If a Big does arrive, Jones, Miller will be open for 3 or LeBron will pass it off to Mozgoz for the easy basket. The Bulls are more afraid of those 3 point shooters going off, so Butler will be left on an Island more times than not and LeBron should be over-powering him down there.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. I really can't. It's just bad.

It's one series. Just do it. Pau has been limping since Game 2. If he plays in Game 5, he'll be severely limited. Exploit this, don't help them.

I agree tbh but on the flip side though, Noah looks hobbled and Dunleavy/Gasol have been very inconsistent while only really Butler and Rose have been consistent factors at both ends.

Which explains how it's 2-2 right now as it's basically Lebron and which ever role player wants to turn up vs Butler and Rose. The rest haven't been a factor.

True.

Bulls are relying on perimeter play.
Cavs are...... just being dumb.

Play the 4, end the series. Get Kyrie some time to feel better.

Also, Gibson hurt his knee. EXPLOIT THIS.

Cavs have regained home court advantage.. These Bulls don't have it in them to recover, you will see.. Might take 7 games but hey a win is a win

I'll just leave this here: https://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/lebron-may-be-the-most-clutch-playoff-shooter-of-his-generation/

Considering how inefficient Lebron and Kyrie have been and how Bulls have already won in Cleveland i don't see why they can't do it again.

If we don't win today, we're done

They'll fold like a deck of cards in a hurricane mate.

2-2 MVP took over this game

Monty Williams fired by New Orleans.

Cue Stephen A, "Black Man this, Black man that".

I swore I remember reading if he made the playoffs they would let him keep his job. I think he's a decent/above average coach.

If they go after Calipari to replace him

Never seen a guy so blatantly racist as Stephen A. yet still keeps his job Hate that guy.

I'm not much of a SAS fan but what are examples where he's been blatantly racist? Maybe I'm just drawing a blank but a lot of what comes out of his mouth is idiotic but not racist.

I wouldn't say he's racist.

He's a race-baiter though. Every conversation has to do with race.

Just caught this game at HT. How is it this close with Lebron having like 25 at the half?

Gibson ejected for that

My lord how soft is this league today.

Regardless of SAS, there is a notable trend in American sports though of teams being noticeably more trigger happy when it comes to firing black coaches than white ones. They almost always seem to be on a shorter leash.

If they actually replace him with Mike D'Antoni everyone in their front office should be fired
