Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

Legit question for this Bulls board, what happens if the Bulls can't get past this beat up Cavs team? Do you blame it on Thibs, Rose, or Noah or accept the team just isn't that good?

I don't think you would really have to find a blame if the Cavs win considering it'll likely take a 2012 LeBron and overachieving from everyone else to beat them anyways.

Think it's a legit question, think the Bulls definitely win here....don't see how losing to a team missing their starting 4 and 2 (for two games) and a bench we just spent a page describing as terrible doesn't raise some questions about the roster...

And what happens if the Cavs can't get past the Bulls? Do you blame it on Platt, LeBron or the supporting cast again?

Luckily just for the sake of keeping my sanity I can play the injury card against the pure LeBron haters lol..

To be fair though I'm not sure many people should have the Cavs as the favorites at this point anyways. If the Bulls advance it would clearly be the better team moving forward. Not really an excuse needed.

In this case it was probably a poor attempt at trolling.

He made a comment earlier about this board being the delusional Bulls fans board and everyone proceeded to ignore him like they should anyway lol

At first I would think if the Bulls lose there would need to be questions, because this would be the best year for them to get it done considering the circumstances..

With that said though if the Cavs do win its going to take a great effort from LeBron and co. There's not many excuses you can make when a team is just playing at some insane level.. And that might be what it takes for the Cavs to have a shot.

If the Bulls don't get it done I don't think it's some indictment that they "just aren't that good." Just because we had a debate about how good Cleveland's bench is, doesn't mean guys on it can't hit a few timely shots behind a Herculean LeBron and Kyrie effort. I know we're clearly trying to paint somebody into declaring something to jump on them for being contradictory about, but there's no black and whites about this series. OSU was just in here during game 4 talking about the Cavs not needing Love to beat the Bulls, but now if the Bulls can't beat an injured Cavs team it's time to accept they just aren't that good?

This is exactly why I wanted the Cavs healthy for this series. I don't want to hear nothing about no injuries after the way nobody gave no damns about Miami and Philly and Washington rolling through our crippled asses the last three years.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

In that letter, Lebron said it would take time and championship wouldn't come right away, right?

Since that day, I've taken him at his word and stuck with that belief as well, which is why if they don't win it this year, there shouldn't be people saying they should blow up or start moving half of the team(this is for the ones here who constantly love to play armchair GM every time they lose)just because they didn't win a championship in their first year.

Patience people, patience.

Yea that always amazed me how chicago would get no empathy, yet when lebron lost in the finals half the world was crying "lebron had no help". Dont get me wrong i understand the circustances for both teams, and i aint exactly saying people shouldve been crying and sending cookies to chicago, but still no **** were given when chicago was hurt lol.

Considering you had he Bulls winning before Love even got hurt, surprising to hear....but if you feel that way, cool. I know I would definitely have concerns.

As far as the other stuff....all I care about is who advances....what people on forums want to debate about regarding how legit it was means 0 to me.....that's just me though...
