Live Thread: Cavs vs Bulls
2015-04-05
The Cavs follow the Thunder/Rockets Matchup on ABC, which is turning into a humdinger of a game. Let’s hope we don’t miss too much of the Wine and Gold. Bulls are missing Hinrich and the Cavs appear to be at full strength. The rumor earlier this week was that Blatt was going to try to establish his playoff substitution pattern before the Cavs take the foot off the gas, schedule wise. So let’s hope they take the, ahem, Bulls by the horns, and stay in control all game. The Bulls have won 6-8, and Pau Gasol is averaging 20 a game over that stretch. Look for him to be the focus of the defense. OK, this Houston/Tunder game is winding down, and a ridiculous battle between Harden and Westbrook is underway. As soon as that’s over, let’s go Cavs.
MOZ-CRUSH!!!!!
LBJ could take it to the rack at will on the Bulls… don’t know why he doesn’t do it more…
Love that gentleman’s handshake LeBron just gave Delly.
LBJ should be careful guarding Mirotic… he’s got four fouls and Miro will flop at any time…
OK, don’t just need to chuck up threes, JR.
JR didn’t need to jack that last one…
Somebody should really start guarding Dunleavy… smh…
Uh-oh… Pebbles is getting upset!
In December, I didn’t think there’s any way I could ever love this team this much.
Delly like the guy at the Y that gets picked last for a pickup game: makes a ridiculous one legged layup and then saves a ball going out of bounds which leads to a three.
I would pick Delly for my pickup game at the Y every time…
Yeah, but you leave him till last cause you know he’ll still be there. AND cause he’ll be more irritated.
Van Gundy took a dig last quarter at the people stoking drama about the Cavs, specifically about the play-calling story: “You have to be very discerning as a reader. You know what I’m saying.”
That’s probably as direct as he’d want to get, since he works under the same roof as some of the people he’s criticizing.
I’m going to put that play on a loop and send it to Cols….
It certainly should be on the game write up.
Okay… they now LEGITIMATELY have probably the top 10 on SC tonight…
SUPERDOVA!!!! (SWOON)
Amazing, such an absolute pleasure to watch this team…..man.
DELLY WITH A RIDICULOUS SAVE!
DELLY with the save of the year! And JR makes them pay with THREE!!
Delly great save –> JR Swish!
WOW WOW WOW!!
DELLY!
That was a MAN’S rebound by LeBron… and then a terrible shot.
It’s not good when both JR and SHUMP are cold. Need to come up with another plan. Delly?
Delly has only 5 mins so far this game. Maybe playoff rotation preview? Or just result of JR being hot early?
Cavs playing like they’re expecting the Bulls to go away.
Bron has only played 26 mins. He’ll probably play the entire fourth unless Cavs can turn this into a blowout…
Bulls back up to 47% shooting. Gotta lock down in the 4th.
Man, Bulls can roll a tall lineup out there. Hard to match up against.
Oh, man. 1.5 seconds was plenty of time to try for another heave there!
please no mozgov in the fourth
Like is this a reverse jinx?
Come on Ky! Why didn’t you shoot that?!
Cavs should be winning this game by 15 but they keep missing FT’s.
Kyrie with such a great feel on when to take over.
Man Van Gundy and Jackson can be such a struggle to listen to at times……
They just both talk so incessantly about everything but what’s happening on the court. Such diarrhea of the mouth. Smh.
GD corner threes.
That’s literally all Tony Snell is good at. Can’t leave him open…
Missed free throws taking their toll. JR has also now gone ice cold…
great defense from the whole team
I would say the Cavs need to finish the quarter strong, but they’ll prob just hit another buzzer beater anyway…
Man, Shump is ice cold…
He’s so hit or miss. Reminds me of Tony Allen.
Well, defensively that’s a compliment…
We were begging for a Tony Allen a year ago.
Cavs D is locked in.
I like our toughness now. It’s the kind that can win a championship. It’s the kind that necessary to win a championship.
Lebron’s gonna need these free throws in the postseason
LBJ with his third foul…
ESPN could do an all-Cavs Top 10 from this game.
Seriously! And it’s only third quarter…
Too strong!!!! Cavs need to clean up the turnovers though
Just seems like a lot because there was two in a row… only actually 5 for the game. Not bad against the Bulls D…
This team is pretty tough to beat at home. Cripes. 9 Points off buzzer beaters and 40+footers.
WHACTHU GONNA DO CHICAGO??? WHACTHU GONNA DO WHEN THE KING COME FOR YOUUUUUUU
YOU CAN’T STOP THE L TRAIN!!!
Cavs just raining fire down on the Bulls… That Kyrie three was KYRIDICULOUS!
WOW!!!!
Lol!!!! Holy heck!
WHATTTTTTTTTT???????????????????????????? UNREALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Thanks for talking over the awesome Kyrie three guys!
How could they cut away for any inbounds play?
Kevin Love’s defense, folks take notice, this is no small feat
Agreed believLAND. It goes unnoticed.
On another note, Kevin Love looks more uncomfortable today than he has all season.
Was that comment ” he has risen” politically incorrect on today?
Moz, stop eating brew garden sandwiches, they are killing you
Wow K Love doing up Aaron Brooka
Yeah… how was that not a travel on Brooks?
Mark Jackson going with the questionable “He has risen” quote for LBJ…
Lebron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KING GAZING AT HIS KINGDOM
THERE YOU GO LEBRON!!! RIGHT DOWN EUCLID!!!
Between Gasol and Mirotic… there are phantom fouls and pushoffs galore…
Cavs getting the opposite of home cooking
We someone please tell these announcers to sthu!! Where’s AC and Fred? These guys are killing me.
*Will ( too short again)
There’s just no reason for a 7’1 center to go for a reverse layup when he can just go up strong for the dunk
what is Van Gundy on about…….. my goodness, comment on the game
LBJ forcing his outside shot too much this game…
they should have at least looked at that.
Keep trying Pebbles…
These refs need a refresher course…
Ref just helped Brooks up off the floor after calling the foul on Love… may be a little too conspicuous there…
Teams just trading haymakers.
This has turned into a three point shootout…
