Grizzles have the better bench too...

even though LeBron returned the favor, it looks like LeBron is going to have to revert back to "late 2000's playoff LeBron" where he was averaging in the mid to high 30's for the cavs to win this series. bulls let this one slip most definitely.

Yep, they basically screwed around and it bit them in the end.

pau gasol better man up & get out there and help his team (as barkley says conley playing with a broke face). wiz/hawks, grizz/warr series have become very intriguing while the rockets started to play in their series a little too late

I think the Bulls are done, it might be time to blow up the team. If they can't beat the Cavs without Kevin Love, they aren't going to beat them anytime soon.

Bulls don't really have to blow it up. They got a young core in Butler, Mirotic, and Snell so as long as they keep improving they should be competitive for a while.
Thibs will probably get fired though, there has been too many "rumors" about it happening so I'd be shocked if he ends up coaching the Bulls next season.

Thibs is definitely getting fired. After the showing today, I really think it's time to figure out something different from the Bulls, the current group is not working.

the script has definitely flipped in the rockets vs clipps series (spurs at home scratching their heads). The bulls again cant seem to beat a Lebron playoff team, they got to make changes to the roster and the coaching staff (Carmelo really should have joined this team). Its do or die for the grizzs & wiz (hope they force a game 7).

If clippers lose, they really are a sad bunch (too bad we can't go back in time & put the spurs into the 2nd round). Guess it is looking like a cavs vs warriors finals (if a jump shooting team like the warriors win it proves NBA teams don't play any defense).

looks like the hawks are just satisfied with making it to the ECF for the first time. You can't beat a Cavs team without Love & Irving? Warriors series looking like a sweep if somehow the rockets can pull some miracles like they did in their last round. Cavs definitely going need Kyrie for the Warriors (I'd just rest him for the entire hawks series).

Alright. Dellavedova is one dirty player. First he traps Gibsons ankle, next he falls into Korver's ankle, and now he falls into Horford's legs. I know he's one of those hustle type players but it would be dumb to assume that he doesn't go after the legs when he falls.

so who do you guys have: The Cavs with LeBron trying to bring the mistake by the lake their first title since the 60's or the Warriors team that are a better version of the Nash Suns team in the mid 00's that shoot lights out. Run TMC would be proud. If LeBron can contain Curry and the other defenders lock down Thompson, Cavs win. But if LeBron cant or doesn't guard Curry & Thompson gets loose we might have a primarily jump shooting taking home the title.

Korver made a bad move in going after the ball on the run instead of diving to his stomach to ensure he got control of it, so that was just an unfortunate play. Al Horford grabbed Delly by the arm and pulled him away from the rebound, tripping over Carroll, and to the ground, where he slid backwards into his leg and earned him an elbow to the shoulder/chest/neck because of Horford's own stupidity. If you don't want Delly sliding into your leg, don't pull him towards you like that.
Reggie Miller's tirade about that was one of the more disgusting displays of inept commentary I've seen in a while. I had to mute the game for a bit to block his stupidity transmissions from infesting my brain.

I also wonder who has the better bench and better big man. Warriors have Bogut, Cavs have Thompson, both have decent benches. If Love was was not injured I might give the Cavs the nod. Its gonna be good series and I'd love to see Thompson get a ring. I went to a few of this games in college. Great player!
On a side note the poor Cavs are stuck with "Tons-of-Fun" Perkins. I doubt he'll do anything except get a few fouls. Maybe they can dump him next year with some sort of package deal, send him to a crappy bottom feeder team like Utah or the Knicks....

I still don't know whether to root for or against the Cavs.
Against: they are doing the same shit everyone in Cleveland bitched about Miami doing when Lebron went there; namely trying to buy a ring by building a "big 3" (Love, James, Irving) Do we really want the first Cleveland title since 1964 to be tainted by that? (excluding the Cleveland Crunch championships in the 90s)
For: rumor is that Blatt gets canned no matter what happens, so I'm curious to see if they win the title how stupid Gilbert would be.

It definitely hasn't been the big 3 in these playoffs. It's more like the big one and a half.
