Round 2, Game 4: Cavs @ Bulls, Sunday, May 10, 2015, 3:30 PM EST

Can we have some un-biased announcers during our games? First we had Hubie Brown in the BOS series with his pom-poms cheering for the Celtics as they tried to come back. Now we have Van Gundy, who is obviously lobbying for CHI in these games.

Next game is on TNT, so it will be unbiased.

What I hate about the end of this game is Noah told the refs they weren't going to foul... But JR and LeBron got hacked on the inbounds plays.

 

[MaccabiCavs]

How many shots did JR take in the final 5 minutes? Smith caught the inbounds at the half court line right into a double team. That was by no means a good play. Blatt was hanging on for dear life.

He cought the ball half court to be fouled, but the refs forgot their whistles at home. With a full court pressure and an inbound play from half court you couldnt possibly expect anything more than that. He put the ball in the hand of his hottest shooter expecting him to be fouled

The tears of salty Bulls fans are delicious.

 

[Mdog1]

How about slurping Lebron like ESPN/ABC did Derrick Rose the last two days? He didn't even have to bank it in....

No we'll talk about how it was because they got a free timeout to draw the play up.

Yeah you need a timeout to say "Lebron get open."

Fuck off. The announcers have been so slanted it's insane...

Love the way they talk about Mirotic. He's a rookie who averaged like 3ppg... and isn't he older than Kyrie? What a stud.

yeah thats a good point. JR clearly got pushed in the back.

lebron just got the crap kicked out of him.

he was fouled. just for the record. it just wasnt called.

 

[jvpertz]

Shumpert guarding Rose is the absolute turning point of this game. It absolutely made scoring exponentially more difficult for the Bulls. You could see it in Thib's adjustments, simply trying to do everything he could to get Shump off Rose's back.

That simple key hole adjustment brought us back from the brink of getting routed in this one. Rose was getting whatever he wanted on Kyrie and it was opening everything up for Chicago.

Had we gone with this look starting game 1, this series is probably over by now.

 

[Gus Zing]

Blatt running the small lineup with Timo was great .. Timo and JR were huge today

Yep. That was the difference.

 

[D-westfan]

From realgm, lol @ noah boxing out TT

 

[CavsFaninNJ]

Just more reminder how incredible the Waiters and a draft pick for Mozgov, Smith, and Shumpert were.

With Love out, those are three of our top six players - for Waiters and a question mark.

I have a hard time getting over that. Can you imagine if we had Waiters and that pick - and Love went out?

 

[CLEistheCITY]

LOLOLOLOLOL

DRose saying "It's tough when you're missing your all-star caliber power forward."

Really DRose, I'm sure that's tough on you...

Hey Rose, Mike Pettine well check to see if Cleveland is going to send you any sympathy cards. Go fuck yourself.

 

[FritzLn]

haha reporters trying to bait lebron with the "how important was the extra timeout because of the replay" question

lebron said he scratched the play and said gimmie the ball

fuck off

Unfortunately that probably means we have Webber calling the game.
