his step seems springy though.. as of late actually. maybe an off game.

Aside from the missed layups, I thought Rose has looked nice. Moving really well.

he actually has been playing his best since coming back from injury this game just been weird for him all his shots are in and out more than 5 shots went in and came out. Hes also not scared to attack the rim relentlessly anymore.. i would be scared of the bulls in the playoffs.

Lol Cavs, I was expecting a big game from them. Another potential statement game that they haven't played well in.

Nice SLOB play there by the Bulls freeing up Mirotic on the flare after setting the ball screen for Brooks.

rose looks great recently.. had layups pop out. bulls are a scary team if he can play great consistently

Hmm LeBron missing a lot of layups this game as well

That could be the best case scenario at this point. Have them all excited about making the playoffs only to miss it on the last day.

Wow boos from cavs "fans". Blown out in Lue's debut. Complete joke organization.

I'll address the other elephant in the room... Tyronn Lue is a terrible coach

Post #1775 » by **Undefeated** » Sun Jan 24, 2016 3:20 am

Seems like there are a lot more blowouts this year? Wished more games were competitive.

Traps13 · Post #1776 » by **Traps13** » Sun Jan 24, 2016 3:22 am

all these blowouts makes watching the games so boring... hopefully the warriors spurs game will be good

NinjaBro · Post #1777 » by **NinjaBro** » Sun Jan 24, 2016 3:23 am

Cavs D is highly suspect. Hopefully Blatt's firing turns out to be a disaster and Cavs start freefalling :lol:

Cavs find it easier to hit #1 in the draft lottery than a FT tonight.

But it reminds me of the stat about the effect of the Bulls and Raps switching opposing FT%. What do the Bulls do to defend FTs? Better trash talk?

Raptors take the 1 seed only to matchup with a fully healthy Wizards who happen to make some really good trades at the deadline.

I expected them to surprisingly win, looks like the coaching change might be worse than I thought.
