Am I the only one that cringe every time the Bulls are on offense, there are times when it's just so bad.
JVG was talking about how it's incredible that Rose was shooting his first free throws when he attacks the basket so much (it's the start of the 3rd). Rose talked to the refs about this, and they told him that they aren't blowing the whistle because he's the one running into players and initiating the contact. I don't want to go off topic but...um...how does that not apply to Harden???
I'm glad that shot went down after the refs tried to give the game to the Cavs. - Missed goaltend on Rose's drive - Missed Lebron fouling Jimmy Butler on that 3 to end the shot clock - Missed the Lebron foul on Rose at the end of the game - Weak call on Butler on Lebron's drive when he had all ball - T'ing up Noah when Lebron clearly was the instigator Wait that involves a lot of Lebron, why am I not surprised?
And having to listen to Mark Jackson and JVG slobber over Lebron's buddy Tristan Thompson too. Awful.
The refs were interesting to say the least. They let them play in the post on both ends, but that clearly favors the Cavs since they're short handed and they were favoring the D. Rose looked much better in the second half. Looking to attack and pull up for fewer Js. Actually finding ways to get to the rim. Noah played with some great energy out there in the first half, but he HAS to find the bottom of the rim. He can't play if he's going to be such a massive liability. I know he's hurt, but I'm surprised at just how much he's struggling. Luckily for the Bulls, Gibby played his a** off when he came in. Both Butler and Rose had significantly better play on offense in the second half. I don't know what adjustment the assistant coaches made, don't think Thibs knows how to make such an adjustment, but it sure as hell worked. Butler's D on Bron was terrific. That last shot by Rose was a thing of beauty. Lot of luck, but how can you not love a game winner in the playoffs against Bron? Especially coming from Rose and the rough past few years he's had. It'll be interesting what the report on Pau is. They need him to play cause Mirotic and Gibby can't go a full 48. Thompson was a good adjustment, but Pau should still be able to get what he wants...if healthy. Ah and last but not least LeChoke! Watching him miss the layup with the clock ticking down. Loved it! Biggest choker of any NBA "superstar" ever.
Because they don't want to admit that he, like LeBron, are the golden children of the NBA. If Harden ran into LeBron, I think all three refs would instantaneously combust.
Blatt is getting a lot of hate for canceling practice and scheduling a yoga session instead. I don't see why that's such a big deal. People are just hating and nitpicking at every little thing this guy does.
