Lol seriously though this was a terrible looking game by both sides. Watch us end up with a Washington Memphis finals. I'm pretty sure Silver would hang himself.

I really hope the Grizzlies make it, and icing on the cake would definitely be the Hawks or Wiz.

when did he throw his teammates under the bus?

He didn't. Steelhead's unfathomable hatred of Lebron is at Joakim Noah 2.0 levels.
He actually handled a really awkward question about Kyrie not having any assists in Game 3 of the series really well. Kyrie's face is worth it by itself.

Haha. His quotes in that ESPN article after The game one loss were quite dismissive of his teammates IMO, but I'm sure I just read it that way because he's a turd.

Why soil a perfectly good NBA thread with a picture of Brittney Griner?

Ever since the Clippers beat the Spurs they've looked damn scary.

Isn't the sloppy play to be expected on such short rest?

That's a good point. Both sides looked dead tired.

The Cavs had no business winning that game, but what's that old saying about good teams finding ways to win game they should lose? Or something?
Bulls got too stagnant on offense in the 4th. Too much ISO ball, not enough running plays out of sets. They had them on the ropes and had them knocked down; for some reason, they lent a hand and helped them back up. It was as bad of a quarter as I've seen offensively in a long time.
The Bulls likely blew any chance they had at winning this series. This Cleveland team isn't nearly as good as the Miami teams, but it'll probably be good enough to win the East, even without Love. I highly doubt they're getting by whoever wins LAC/GSW (or Memphis).
I agree that the LAC are peaking and look like the team to beat. I'd be surprised if anyone but them wins at this point. DeAndre Jordan is about to get paid. He's the difference maker right now.

NBA is ridiculous, LeBron takes 5 steps every time he touches the basketball.

I think the Bulls win in Chicago and then a battle in Cleveland for game seven.

This series was over before game 5 was even played. The Bulls lost their only chance at this series when they blew game 4.
Don't worry, if they somehow win game 6 (unlikely) this Bulls fan will force himself to watch game 7... because he hates himself, apparently.

Ehhh not over yet. If the Bulls get Pau back for game 6 and 7 that could give them a much needed boost.

Lebron is capable of turning it off and on more than any player I've ever seen. Some players can't just "make it happen", Lebron seems to consciously decide when he wants to take over a game or when he's content to "let it play out".
He gave another masterful performance last night. It's amazing to think what he could of done as a TE/WR in football, although I obviously think he made the right choice.

This
I think his issue is he is a pass first, team type of guy. He doesn't usually aggressively assert himself to take over a game unless he feels it's the only option.

Agreed. Lebron is very comfortable not having to carry the team all of the time and that is the mark of a true champion, I just hope this Cavs team is capable of winning the east and nabbing a title. The NBA has flattened out with the Spurs decline and the Heat dismantling.
I'm not a Cavs fan per se or necessarily a Lebron fan but he intrigues me because he's so gifted. I normally root for the underdog but he's managed to not make me hate him
I find myself rooting for him to break all of the records and to eventually displace Michael Jordan as the consensus top player ever. I don't know if it'll happen but he's already started to set records. He just needs another 3ish titles before people will entertain that notion.
No offense to Bulls fans or those who think Lebron is overrated. If that is overrated, I'll take it every day on Notre Dame's roster.

If I'm a bulls fan I chug paint thinner after watching this. I can't help but think this was the year they'd stop Lebron and the Cavs if ever. The Bulls were hot, Rose was back and playing like old-school Rose, Butler's defense on Lebron was more than you could hope for, Irving was at 40% when he could play, Love was gone... and the Cavs won the series 4-2. Not a good sign for the next 5 years.

The Bulls quit after game 4, plain and simple. No resilience. I don't really see them taking any steps forward until Rose raises his paltry playoff shooting percentage to the higher end of 40% anyways. They don't have anyone I feel confident taking a last shot right now.
