He was hot garbage without Paul. It's amazing the synergy those two have.

Too funny - hard to like the Bulls, even harder to like the Cavs. Although I am kind of taking a liking to Mozgov and Shumpert.

Reddick had about 3 games where he was just as bad against the Spurs with a healthy CP3 on the floor. Paul helps but Reddick was competent enough in game 1 to get a win. I would also say that Paul coming back is important so Redick gets rest- he played 46 minutes in game 2. I believe a large portion of Redick's points came when Austin Rivers was on the floor.

Go Bulls.


Haywood doesn't play much for the Cavs but I have him as the most likeable.

The hope was that Jimmer was going to be like JJ, I wonder if Jimmer will get one last shot somewhere? He could make some doing overseas.

Rivers was written-off too-soon...left college too-soon that's for sure.

Marc Gasol got 5 fouls in 6 minutes.

Sketchy reffing.

Every team with homecourt entering the 2nd round is now down 2-1.

I don't like Klay Thompson and D. Green, I don't hate them but I'd like to see them leave the playoffs early every year of their careers. Kinda surprised that Curry looked so mortal today. Dude is suppose to be the MVP.

Steph doesn't respond well to physicality.

Tony Allen and Mike Conley are getting into him to make his shots tougher and the paint is clogged due to the defense

The quality of play in this bulls cavs game is terrible. If we somehow get wall back i think we could beat either team easily. Heck even without Wall we look better than Chicago.

Not necessarily. They are really missing Pau today. If he comes back for game 5 they have a shot.

They needed to win both at home imo.. series is going back to Cleveland now and the Cavs have been GSW-good at home

The Bulls/Cavs game is bizarre. Lebron and Irving both sucking yet they are still winning. Chicago has just been awful.

LOL, refs not bailing Bron out


#FireErnie ~ Because he believed Stephen Curry couldn't help us and Jan Vesely could.

Welp neither team really impressed me. So cheap that the Cavs got a free timeout. Great shot by Lebron though.

Awful game. Lebron put up big numbers, but he took 30 shots and had 8 turnovers.

Rose shot well, but he no longer plays like a PG. Both Rose and Irving shouldn't be called point guards.

Clippers vs. Rockets, so many empty seats to start the game.

Kyrie Irving's foot injury must be more serious than reported. He struggled to walk up court and sat a lot of the 4th.
