Yawn. Cavs going to the Finals. The NBA is getting really boring. Every year Lebron gets to the Finals. Isn't parity great?

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

All these years I've said how crooked this league was. Even said how it doesn't matter that there's a new commissioner. Same old garbage. They have the league's marquee player, we don't.

I know some Cavs fans will say it's sour grapes, but it's just the truth. LeBron moves the needle, Rose doesn't as much. This league goes where the money goes come playoff time.

No other sports conduct themselves like this where it's literally two different games when it's regular season vs playoff season.

Disgusted.

D-Rose doesn't move the needle? If he had stayed healthy we'd probably be talking about LeBron/Rose being a main rivalry of this decade. Rose gets promoted all over the place as one of the top stars.

I have and I've called him out every time since he literally pops up during the playoffs and makes the most ridiculous proclamations every year. It's tiring man.

I can only imagine the **** storm that would come from Cavs fans if that exact situation happened with Noah and LeBron or Hinrich and LeBron and LeBron got ejected for kicking his leg free from that leg lock and Noah didn't get so much as a tech for it AND LeBron got called for a foul on top of the ejection. Not to defend TK cause....well we all know TK's thing. But tonight was pretty ridiculous.

Man MJ has nothing to do with this.....

The whole LeBron conspiracy is lol , but Bulls fans have every right to be mad at the Delly/Taj situation....I have 0 idea how he gets out of that with nothing.....I'd still be fuming over that...

Sore losers?? Coming from a Cleveland sports fan?!? REALLY??

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Yeah I'm not a Bulls or a Cavs fan and I can see clear as day that Delladova and Gibson situation was bull. I'm not saying no ThreeKing status where the world is out to get the Bulls and only the Bulls but that was terribly handled period.

What the hell happened to Rose after the first quarter?

Such a drop off.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Cavs can close this out on Thursday (?) if they continue to do what they did in the first 3 quarters. Main thing is Lebron has to keep it moving. Since the ball stays with him, when he jab steps for 20 seconds the ball does not move at all and it hasn't worked for them whatsoever. He was great in that first half, no need to abandon what's working.

I never said the world is out to get the Bulls. I said the league helps its marquee player when he needs it.

Delly needed a T, but yall who think there should be equal punishment are full of ****.. He pushed him to the ground, kicked him, and then shoved the first guy who came running up in the back.. Delly held his ankles together.. And that's equal punishment? No way. But yes Delly deserved a T.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

He was fouled with 1 second left. If he throws it up high and towards the other basket, there's not nearly enough time left. Obviously it doesn't matter in this case but I just always thought it would be an interesting strategy. Going to look that video up now.

EDIT: Just watched...lol. Yeah not what I meant at all, throw it up high and towards the other basket, not just straight up in the air.

The problem with the strategy is that players often aren't sure just how much time is on the clock. I think there's a higher chance of something going wrong than the player missing both free throws. It's just safer to take care of the ball and take your shots. It would be a different story if it were someone like Rondo but Kyrie is an excellent shooter.
I know you didn't mean straight up btw, I just love that Mo Pete clip lol
