Do Not Sell My Personal Information

We played small the entire 4th quarter. Why? Gasol was out. If we put in Moz with TT that forces the Bulls to go big as well. The game changes. The Bulls don't get all those shots in the paint, and they don't get all the damn rebounds. I just don't get it.

I also don't get the fact we all saw Kyrie was playing hurt and next to useless.

What game was Blatt even watching tonight? We sure he was watching the same game we were?

He made the same mistake in game 1 in regards to Moz. Moz and TT need to be in there. Moz in both losses one of only two players with a + game finishing on bench. He had 3 blocks and 7 rebounds in 22 minutes, yet Blatt continues to ignore our advantage. We lose o rebounding by 9 despite TT working his ass off. Kyrie was totally hobbled and the only way we were winning was with stops. He's coaching a bad series straight up, and I don't care how many Euros disagree. He's married to his regular season rotations despite there still being zero spacing going small, which is the only reason to be small.

How about we give some credit to the opponent? They played a very tough game tonight along with the Cavs. And Rose has made those kinds of shots before. He is a clutch player.

How about this dislike boy? Fuck off.
 
Mozgov was horrible the entire game. Not sure how you can blame Blatt for not playing him.

This was a crusher. I don't want to get too down, but any time your playoff hopes essentially ride on winning in Chicago 40 hours after a game like that... this one felt like a borderline playoff-life-taker.

It's going to be really hard to just bounce back in Game 4, especially with LeBron's energy output tonight on both ends, the number of minutes he played, Kyrie really struggling with his hip/ankle and Shump also not close to 100%. I like the positivity though. I'm certainly not going to be the one supplying it tonight.

Look it's likely that we aren't winning the championship this year . Love's injury made it unlikely and Irving being at like 25% basically sealed the deal.. I see the fact that we've been competing so well against a Chicago team that is pretty healthy comparatively as a pretty huge positive .

Moz in there would have forced the Bulls to put in Noah. As it was, both Noah and Gasol were on the bench. I just don't get the thinking with Blatt. There were many, many issues with this game that I feel he didn't make the right decisions.
 
Sad thing is we could win it all if Lebron wasnt a choke
 
I'd be stunned if they win game 4. LeBron played a bajillion minutes tonight. I can't see it.....
 
Ok kiddies calm down. This is playoff basketball. We were on the road. We lost to a lucky bank shot. Should LBJ and KI played better, oh hell yes. But you will have those games on the road in the playoffs. Re-group and steal game 4.

No we couldn't. This team, right now, isn't good enough to win a title with 2009 LeBron James. That dream died the moment Love got hurt.

8/7/2 0TO with the highest +/- is "horrible" for Mozgov? I absolutely love the guy but he is no Tim Duncan.
