Round 2 Game 2 | Cavs (0-1) vs. Bulls (1-0) | May 6, 2015 | 7:00 PM ET

[KilgoreTrout]

Eh.

I don't see any way thIs series doesn't go 6-7.

Bulls will cum out hard this first game at home.

Hopefully, getting JR back will be a big boost, and get in their heads. The Bulls looked weak tonight. Against a team that wasn't anywhere near full-strength.

 

[Simmy]

Good on you, mate. Seems you Aussies developed these "senses" after battling poisonous spiders, snakes, and many more deadly stuff throughout the years.

Why do you sound surprised? Have you never seen Spiderman?

"Noah is somehow just 1-of-14 from the line in the postseason, which would easily be the worst free throw percentage in the playoffs among players with at least eight attempts. Noah also looked slow on both ends of the court tonight. He hasn't looked the same since he played 46 minutes in Game 3 against the Bucks. Expect him to be around 30 minutes in Game 3 on Friday."

So, based on something I read a few days ago, is Dan going to have to pay a fine for the team wearing gold uni's tonight?

If so, what a boss. Keep it going man. Superstition never fails!

Why aren’t we allowed to wear the gold unis?

 

[Marcus]

Perkins is totally serviceable in short spurts for this series. Especially when Noah is in. He even plays Pau well because Pau cannot handle physical play whatsoever.

Perk did very well on Pau tonight. Need to have more of that in this series. Pau was the difference in Game 1.

 

[CosmoKramer]

turning this off. we'll get em next year.

Great, you're insufferable.

Anyone else concerned Lebron and Kyrie are having to tap out and ask for fouls because they are so tired? These guys either need more rest or more conditioning.

Fuck off.

 

[Gus Zing]

Obviously a blowout makes it possible for LeBron to get less minutes.

But this is exactly why you have to do the best you can to limit his minutes.

I'd rather he play aggressive 33 to 38 mins instead of 44 mins+ where he's going to passive and less aggressive to conserve energy.

The sad thing is we could have done this if not for some jerk in Boston.

Hopefully the rest during the season helps throughout this series and hopefully afterwards.

Something about you're only allowed to wear white at home in the playoffs unless you're the Lakers...people were talking about it here the other day

Think @Man Called X was one of them?

 

[MoFlo]

Since @MoFlo has been the voice of reason/hope for many since this LeBron return all began, I am changing my avatar in honor of him for good luck to...

...what I always thought he looked like. (He looks nothing like this)

Pretty close.........


















To the exact opposite of what I look like....

 

[Ruken]

I think Kyrie is fighting that hip injury. I like the system actually, clearly when you are shorthanded like we are, you have got to ride Lebron and Kyrie as much as you can. Letting them decide when to come out to me was how you had to play this game. With Jr back, and Shump ok, you can regulate the minutes.

That being said both Kyrie and Lebron played around 35 each, which is exactly where you want them on playoff minutes.

 

[Man Called X]

As far as I knew the only rule was all teams had to wear White home unis other than the Lakers which were grandfathered into being allowed to wear yellow. I remember an article about Dan lobbying so the Cavs could get the same exception.

No idea if that carries over for the playoffs etc.

I hope he plays 48.

It really is crazy how bad it's gotten. He's always had a God awful shot, but usually he'd knock down 70%. His misses this year, though, haven't even been close. If Noah was worth a damn on offense, he'd be a prime hack-a-Shaq candidate. As it is, the Cavs are better off when he's on the floor.
