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

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
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.

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.

Yea I noticed it, too. Aliens.

I lol'd. I do think that Rose's reaction after a bank shot was kind of arrogant. I mean whenever you hit a lucky shot for a win you are usually incredulous and laughing, not acting like you're the man. But I digress, who cares about his reaction really lol

As for the actual shot, let's look at both sides. Any shooters know that even shots that go in all net can be lucky - they can slip during the release and still end up swishing after taking a different trajectory than planned. There are tons of "lucky" shots in basketball that are less evident.

But yeah - Rose was still lucky as hell lol

We lost though - and could have lost in OT. Shouldn't have let them be as close as they were...

tbh, maybe lebron deserves time off from the playoffs, so we can come back much stronger next season..

idc if bron was hacked or not, the amount of layups he missed last night was concerning for me..

idk lets see what happens game 4. gasol is injured right?
 
LL


LOL this dude's reaction reminds me of my boys, when they hit glass without calling it, and pretend as if they were meant to shoot it off the glass the whole time..

his shot was that off that it went in..

fuck this douche lol
 
Nah - it's carelessness. It's making poor decisions with the ball. It's taking risks that one does not have to take.

What you're saying is essentially the same thing as saying he messed up on plays because he doesn't care enough. Doesn't make any sense. Obviously LeBron cares and has thought a lot about it. The truth of the matter is he is in fact not a cyborg and can make mistakes. I agree that he had a bad game, but I think the "carelessness" excuse is way, way off.

It still seems to me like the most plausible explanation is the guy is 30 years old with more miles than anyone else in the league at his age and he simply cannot play the entire game anymore and maintain a high level of concentration and energy throughout every single time without screwing up every now and then. Why is that so hard for you to understand and believe? He is human.

There are things that can be done to help fix this, but its a matter of him and coach Blatt realizing that he needs to play off the ball more and cut back a few minutes. Neither of that has to do with carelessness.

I don't know. The turnovers he makes usually result from passes he shouldn't be making. It's not that there isn't enough zip on the ball - they were ill-advised passes in the first place. Call it what you want: "sloppiness", "mental errors", "carelessness with the ball", but I don't think it happens because he's tired.

Well we may disagree about the cause but we agree about the main point, LeBron had a bad game. It in fact was one of the sloppiest I've ever seen him.

I just think if anything he's getting in his head with his shot and he also might even care a bit too much and has become blinded to the corrections he needs to make in his game, which actually involves stepping back a bit. I think he's finally on the waning side of his career, still has the ability to dominate and win championships but the higher his minutes go the sloppier and more exhausted he looks.

But I won't lay it all on him. Admittedly it's not easy to lose Love the way we did at the time we did. That sort of thing can mess up LeBron's passing flow for a while. And now Kyrie all the sudden is having trouble with and injury...

I feel like we've said that a few times this playoffs already.
 
The Cavs played like trash, Rose hit a garbage, luck-filled, crock of shit-game winner and Jimmy Butler did the fucking hokey pokey around the rim and thye let him get away with it with 50 seconds to go.

Just thrash them in game 4 and we still got this.
 
If LeBron can just get us back to the Q tied 2-2....I think we win the series, even if it takes 7.
