Well that's a pretty decent start for Derrick.

When Noah plays defense like that and makes good passes he is really good.

What a fun first quarter.

 

I remember we talked early in the series about why LeBron doesn't just take it to the rack every possession. Wind was the main explanation we came up with. But you saw it in the first quarter. Even mighty LeBron can be stopped if he gets too reckless

Cavs are gonna want to get LBJ back in there

It's amazing how well Noah plays when he gets to play Center

what is that bs

NBA refereeing.

Why for, Goal tend? Why for?

nobody can make a shot right now.

The officials just look at each other after every whistle to confirm the sketchy call.

Why for, Goal tend? Why for?

 

We have been screwed on 3 of those this series. 2 clear goal tends on Cavs not called and then that one

Bulls are really in that "missing open shots" mode right now.

nobody can make a shot right now.

 

seriously we should have been up by like 15 pts.... what is this

We can't score. at all.

Went from one of the best stretches of ball we played all year to completely flat. Time to mix up personnel

Can't hit a shot, cavs perpetually at the line. Bad recipe

Hey Thibs: CALL A f***ING PLAY. Jesus his refusal to adjust is killing me.

Niko 1-7, Duleavy 0-5... don't know where we're gonna get Pau's points

Brutal stretch of basketball

That was a yucky bailout call for Kyrie there

We can't beat the Cavs and the refs.

I'm not loving the personnel management in this game. We've had a little too much Niko for as little as he's being used on offense

Considering how horrible we shot that quarter being down 4 isn't bad. Hopefully we get hot in the 2nd half

Kyrie's a cripple right now. 1-8 from the field, yet we're letting him get to the line. It doesn't help that the refs gave him a few calls.

We really needed Gasol during that cold stretch. In those times, you can throw it down to him and hope he gets two points somehow. No such luxury right now.
