There is absolutely no point I'm trying to prove. Punches get thrown in this league. Not the first time and not the last.

Players trying to cause serious injury to others is a lot more disturbing to me.

JR Smith threw a wild punch that knocked Crowder out, Kelly and Love both were pushing and pulling on each others arms and a freak injury happened. JR tried to throw a vicious strike and landed on Crodwer's freaking head and knocked him out cold and perhaps injured his knee.

Even Perkins play was more egregious than the tugging of a freaking arm. He literally came in with no intention to set a screen and shoved Crowder's head. It's far less dangerous than what JR did but still was a clear shot to the head.

Yep!

Love complaining when his two teammates did worse was not a great look either.

I both can and can't believe Perkins didn't get ejected.

LeBron in the Finals = Ratings.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Who cares if he wasn't ejected? They ejected Smith for his hit. They didn't even call a flagrant on Olynyk for ripping a man's arm out of his socket. They didn't even call a foul on Thomas for shoving Tristan into the first row.

And Perkins played a total of 3 minutes after the altercation took place, so it's not like it matters.

Like Shaq said, if Love never gets hurt we are not even talking about that tie up. The Perkins and Smith thing on the other hand are in no way basketball plays.

Hope Kevin is healthy for game 1, hope JR misses the entire series and has to pay a major fine, Hope perkins plays cause he sucks.

I also hope Crowders knee is ok, imagine if he tore something, he is a free agent and a knee injury could cost him millions.

I agree with others that the cavs were out to get crowder, who the king leader was is the mystery.

Sorry Jalen...The Cavs aren't beating the Bulls regardless of who is playing for them.

Lebron got some f#%king nerve to be calling out bush league when your stupid ass teammates committed the two worst non basketball plays of the entire year, in the same damn game.

Shut yo hypocrite ass up clown.

Man, I really dislike the Cavs. Between Perkins and JR Smith today and KLove whining like a little b after doing exactly what he just did. They're just really annoying. And to add to this, Kyrie and LeBron calling Olynyk bush league when 2 of their teammates targeted the same dudes head twice in one game. TF..

Windhorst.

Nothing will be known for sure until MRI but word within Cavs team tonight is Kevin Love likely out a minimum of 2 weeks.

Bulls-Cavs will be interesting, to say the least.

I'm not proud. If the Bulls finally beat LeBron's team in the playoffs, I don't care who's injured.

I'll start playing the what if game once we got that 7th banner up.

Bulls play down to their competition.

It's pretty obvious. Expect their best vs any elite team in the playoffs. Bucks aren't that.

Yeah, great, we could beat the Cavs, but so what? That doesn't mean crap. We'd still have to beat two other teams for the ultimate prize and that's not easy feat. The Cavs are just one obstacle, if we are lucky to hurdle that one, we'd still have two really good teams to hurdle.

If we want to beat the best, then I would have preferred to actually beat the Cavs at full strength, but that's just me.

I get what you are saying. But just like we don't make the schedules, we don't dictate injuries. You play who's there with whomever they are playing with. Nobody cared that we were down guys the last 3 years. Philly didn't care. Miami didn't care. Washington damn sure didn't care. Situations are what they are you know.

No doubt, but if we play and beat the Cavs at full strength, that tunes our team up to compete better against better teams in the later rounds.

Everyone needs to chill out. The Cavs will still be incredibly difficult to get by. With Love, I would've called them the favorites. Now, its probably about even tbh. Plus Tristan Thompson wrecks our frontline. Lets not count our eggs before they hatch...they're still going to be insanely tough. Plus all this talk of them not getting by us without Love may rub them the wrong way.

If the closing lineup is, say, Mozgov, Lebron, Jones/Miller (until game 2, when Smith is back), Shumpert and Irving - do you still have Butler on Lebron? Assuming that's a yes, how do you match up the rest of the floor? Gibson or Niko chasing a shooter, or go small with Dunleavy and Snell on the floor?

This is all in the make-believe scenario where we have a coach who actually makes adjustments, but it's fun to pretend.

NecessaryEvil · Post #358 » by **NecessaryEvil** » Mon Apr 27, 2015 8:15 am

I long expected Marion in their closing line-up vs us. Smith or Shump depending on situations but always LBJ & Marion on Rose & Butler.

Shump has no chance vs Rose or Butler.

The last time we played Cleveland without Love, we beat them by 15 points, and lead by as many as 19 in the 4th. We were also missing Jimmy Butler that game, and the Cavs had JR Smith playing. Oh and the Cavs had just won 14 out of 15 leading up to that point.

Don't act like losing Love is no big deal.

If Thibodeau does not adjust and rolls out Noah & Gasol against a Lebron & Mozgov front court, he deserves to be fired. That is coming from someone who wants him back next season.

If he can't see the flaw in that line up and instead wants go jumbo, i will lose it.
