ROUND 2 GAME 3 | CAVS (1-1) @ BULLS (1-1) | MAY 8TH, 2015 | 8:00 PM ET

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
[emoji24][emoji24] you mad. I've been supporting the cavs since 09 so you can take your bum ass somewhere else.

You know, I really need to take this post apart.

First of all, of course I'm mad. I'd think every Cavs fan would be upset after this game. Odd that you, being the huge Cavs supporter you are, aren't mad, no?

And about that '09 support, must have been real damn tough to start following a team in the middle of its greatest season ever. Was it difficult to find a spot on the bandwagon when you hopped aboard, Kings fan?
 
Because it isn't just about the shot going off glass. Maybe you should read every line of a post. Once again, getting into a proper position to take a shot like that which was well contested (and very nearly blocked) is what makes it a great shot. Why does it matter that the defender contesting the shot is 6'10'' when the shot was defended very well and nearly blocked?

I have no idea what point it is you are trying to make.

Let's just move on.
 
Painful loss but I think I'm not as down on this because Kyrie was out there hobbling around and the game was tied when the game winner was hit. I don't know that the Cavs had enough in the tank to win in OT anyway

I actually thought it was in OT that we would win. We had the momentum going into it.

Let's just move on.

The point is that explaining away that shot by saying something along the lines of "What a lucky shot!" doesn't tell the whole story. There's more to it than just banking it in. Also, this isn't some no name player hitting the shot. Rose has made these kinds of shots to beat the buzzer before.
 
Rich, definitely not his fault entirely, but I am starting to get alarmed. This has gone on many, many times throughout the year. I figured it'd stop in the playoffs and it's not. Terrible shooting, constant turnovers. It's just very worrisome for me- I don't understand it and truly don't get how you can be so careless in the playoffs. It's odd.

I don't think its carelessness so much as it is LeBron playing too many minutes and is finally starting to show his age when he has to play this much.

Like others have said, he needs to play off the ball more and minutes go down a few too.

3 seconds left, catching the ball away from the hoop and settling for that shot is luck.

You could grab a guy out of the stands and he could get off a similar attempt. The fact that it went in has little to do with who shot the ball.

If Steph Curry hit that shot, in that fashion, it would still be luck. He literally missed the shot so badly that it went in. There's no skill involved at all. Any idiot can throw it against the glass from that far out. The end result had little to do with who shot it.
 
Jesus, who cares if the shot is lucky or not? The whole point in the game is to get a rubber ball into that hoop, which he did. Why are people concerned with how the ball bounced to get in its target?
 
Calm the fuck down, everyone. We weren't going to sweep this road trip, but we will win one and that shot will be a damn footnote. We win the next 2 and it probably goes 7, plain and simple. Believe it, breathe it, fuck dreaming it because its going to become a reality, and that's the bottom line.

Fuck D Rose, fuck Chicago, game 4 is ours, it took a miracle to beat us. Next game not so much.

09 is when I made the account not when I supported them.
It's funny your not the only one mad in here but you are the only one attacking people. I've seen you attack multiple people in the game thread how bout you fucking relax and have a conversation without doing that.
 
I am a realist, I know this shit is far from being over. I know Rose got straight luck on that last play and I know if Irving showed up this game would have been different.

But I gotta vent, I got to spray this all out and screaming in my house at 2 am while everyone is sleeping will get me killed.

Fuck Chicago. I hate their guts, I wish nothing but death upon them and I hope Gasol's leg falls off. Rose will never win a championship in this league and Thibs is fired after this season. I hate to lose to the Bulls, I might have been more calm if it was a quieter defeat but on a gaming winner? Screw that.


We had all the guys play good, hell Delly was looking like the second coming of a legit point guard but the 2 main guys just didn't have it.

Not one person is for this loss, it was pure luck Rose made that shot.

I am not worried but my soul is crushed until Sunday. With the prospect of either being 2-2 or 3-1, this shit is serious.



Ok...thanks for letting me rant. Reading it back, I did see some truths. I am sorry, Rose is not winning anything in this league. I just don't see it, he is too inconsistent to win anything. Also with Irving showed up that could have been the difference, another truth.

The reality is the media is going to bust a nut to Chicago for as long as they can but it's just 1 game. I didn't expect it to be a gentleman's sweep. I do have a feeling the first team to win consecutive games is going to win the series. I am looking for the positives here.



Ok, I am getting offline. I am starting to piss myself off. Just remember, 1 game. 1 game, I will cry myself to sleep tonight saying that.


End of immature and childish incoherent rant.




On a side note, did anyone else get like odd interference in the game? There were moments when you heard static patterns that is like having a tube tv and someone calling your cell phone right by it, interference, weird. I know it just wasn't me because I checked LPBB online and its there too.

Still just angry about it.

I have no logic to really say about it other than that whole moment sucked. From seeing us tie it, from hearing about how those jackasses put up the Ehlo shot on the scoreboard in that exact quarter, to hearing those three jerk offs on the ABC booth stroke off Chicago and their fans.

It sucked. I realize as a fan this sounds personal, but fuck if it's not. I'm tired of being the butt of every stupid sports joke, and to be the "Generals" to some stupid Globetrotters team. I hope to god that LeBron and co. take every thing about that night personal. They're still in this series, and they need to come out with the worlds biggest chip on it.


"In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have."

You said it back in July, Mr. James. I know that you can deliver on it, it's whats being an Ohio kid is all about, correct?
 
LeBron was bad but Kyrie not being a threat at all because of the injury really put him in a tough situation. I thought he actually played decently. Obviously we need him to be better but it was really an ugly grind out game.

Expect 2012 Game 6 LeBron next game. Hes gonna be focused. The man doesnt like losing.

Hope you have some PEDs then...

Nah - it's carelessness. It's making poor decisions with the ball. It's taking risks that one does not have to take.
 
Don't be mad at Chicago. LeBron was terrible in this game. If he just had a bad game we win by 5. He looked like Jose Mesa out there. Bizarre. Also he has clearly lost a step.

The Bulls are an awful team. And the Cavs were worse. Let that sink in.
