That amount of Chicago Bulls homerism on a nationally televised game was ridiculous. They were giving backhanded complements to the Cavaliers the entire night, they would say one thing about the Cavs and then make an excuse for the Bulls.
What's their excuse for the Bulls giving up 23 second chance points to the Cavs? Or the fact they never once had the lead in this game?
Exactly. I thought this was all on Cleveland and boy did they deliver. I must admit, from the tip I thought we were going to see a solid effort and I was right. This game was set by the leader and everyone else closely followed.
15 from Shumpert and 17 from Jones were evidence of that leadership menality trickling down.
14 and 11 from Rose and Gasol, that Bulls squad really does suffer from big offensive droughts.
No Bulls excuses, the Cavaliers outplayed them tonight for the entire game. Tied 1-1, let's go to Chicago and get this thing rolling...
On a side note, I fucking hated to see Shumpert in pain. Hopefully this cat's groin strain isn't serious.
