Obligatory Warriors post. F'n ridiculous.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 15, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) Well that was a fun finish. Like I told you, I really wanted the Wiz to win that series but God I hate Paul Pierce.

You know Marcus is going to kill us.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 15, 2015 -> 05:33 PM) Chip Hale has seen enough...he's out of the closer role. Ya obviously Davidson has been a bust but the idea to trade Reed for an organizational weakness was still the right one imo.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 15, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) This was a championship caliber team if healthy. It didn't play like one though late and obviously we missed Pau during the season. The problem is "if healthy" becomes a pretty big caveat given some of the long-term health issues some of these guys have sustained. To me the biggest thing this team was missing was a true point guard. Aaron Brooks is hot garbage (as anything other then a guy you bring in when you need someone to jack up shots and see if he is hot...when he isn't on fire, he is absolutely worthless) and clearly Hinrich is past his prime. Rose you are stuck with and you have to hope that this postseason gave him confidence (even though he finished week) in his knee and he'll finally have an off-season where he can think about basketball and making improvements, which should be huge. Niko will get better and the team will have MLE money to add a quality player which should make us better. Completely disagree that they were a championship roster if healthy. That said, I know we're most likely stuck with this core group for a few more years but we're not going to win a championship or beat LeBron with it.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 14, 2015 -> 11:36 PM) I don't think the Bulls should make many changes to the roster. They had the better team and this is why I feel like a coaching shakeup is justified. The main way you would argue against the coaching change and/or for a roster shakeup is if there are a bunch of guys who would be bad on any other team, but Thibs just happens to make them good players This is NOT a championship roster. Thibs deserves his fair share of the blame but this roster can't win a championship. Changes need to be made.

This game is something else.

You guys wish I was going to be on TV.

That game 1 of the 2011 ECF was like the best thing ever then the rest of this era was frustration. That is beyond over simplified but that's how it is in my mind at least at the moment.

Who didn't miss the Jordan vs rest of Soxtalk battles?

QUOTE (Jake @ May 14, 2015 -> 09:22 PM) I think both ATL and WAS would have a great shot at beating CLE I don't. GS will get them though. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 14, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) It's official: the Bulls are the 90's Jazz, Pacers and Knicks. They will NEVER, EVER beat LeBron James when it matters. LeBron is eight wins away from bumping MJ from his GOAT throne. I defend you all the time here but God this is dumb. Won't matter as they won't beat the Warriors anyways.

Hinrich's stat line is beyond impressive.

Taj needed to be out there in the 2nd qr, don't give a f*** if he has 3 fouls. And the Hinrich/Jo lineup can never happen, we're just playing 3 on 5 on offense with that lineup out there.

Apparently Derrick just went to the locker room too.

The last 6 or so minutes of that Wash-Hawks game was just awesome. And Steph already in bonkers mode.

So we get to restart yesterday's game from that point, right?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 13, 2015 -> 02:29 PM) Hey thanks NBA for that ! Vincent Goodwill ‏@vgoodwill 2m2 minutes ago RT @NBAPR: CLE's Dellavedova has been assessed a technical foul for his involvement in altercation with CHI's Gibson at 10:25 of 4Q This just makes everyone look so f***in stupid.

More Bryant boom.

That flagrant 2 is absolute bulls***.

Brooks and Hinrich out there together is just wonderful.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) I'm just saying...it is the 2nd round of the playoffs and I still think we are talking about the 2 best teams in the East (as currently constructed) and one of those teams has the best player in the world. Who didn't expect this to be a battle. Oh ya it's extremely silly if anyone thought we'd walk all over them. I think some people are just frustrated that we left game 4 out there but that's sports.

Bray's promos just don't mean anything when he's supposed to break John Cena or become the new face of fear and then he loses those feuds. His character is just pointless.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 12, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) And even if you called the Bulls the "healthier" team, Cleveland was playing as good of basketball as anyone down the stretch and this "healthy" Bulls team had very limited reps with each other, which is a factor. Bottom line, I expected this to be a hard fought series and that has been what it is. The thing that gets me is game 2. That lack of intensity the Bulls displayed was just pathetic. Cleveland was playing awesome down the stretch with Kevin Love. Both teams are crazy beat up but Cleveland overall has been in worse shape. But whatever, who gives a s*** lets just win this series.

Great match for sure. The AA is officially the worst move in kayfabe, everyone kicks out of it.

It's harsh but they'll still make the playoffs. They'll be fine.
