Meh, Thibodeau is not an offensive guru, but this Bulls squad is inept in the offensive skill department regardless of the coach.

Rose, former MVP
Butler, future max contract
Giant guy from Croatia, 6th man of the year
Pau Gasol, perennial all star

They are not inept or devoid of offensive talent.

Thibodeau is vastly overrated.
New Orleans can do better than waste their talent on that

He could be a phenomenal college coach in the same mold of Tony Bennett.

Cle has no defense

Seriously though, couldn't watch the game. I have no doubt that the shitty scoring by the Bulls was self inflicted. They sucked fricking arse this series.

Partially self inflicted, partially Rose being a little too passive, a lot to do with Shumpert's on ball defense too.

First off, Shump has led me to 1st place in my daily fantasy league tonight.....that I shouldn't have played because frick daily fantasy with only 2 games.

Anyways, you know how much I love Lebron and any team he plays for. And I didn't get to watch the game tonight. So................HOLY shite what happened?! Kept checking and Lebron was hovering around 10 points. Kyrie took 2 shots and was done after 12 minutes of playing time.......? And the Cavs just kept destroying them. Seriously what happened? How is that possible? I'll argue all day that the Cavs aren't toast in these playoffs just because Kyrie is banged up and Love is out....but.....what happened tonight HAS to be scary for those doubting the Cavs...

The other guys stepped up big time. The team hit 12 3pt shots, Thompson had 13 points and 17(!) rebounds, the defense was suffocating at times, and Dellavedova had one of the most WTF performances I've seen in awhile. But the game changed when Mirotic clotheslined Shumpert with a blatant cheap shot. The score at the time was 41-40 Cavs. Instead of answering a thug play with their own thug play, the Cavs answered the thug play with a 17-2 run that put Chicago at arm's length for the rest of the night. The recipient of that cheap shot, Shumpert, had the first 7 points in that run. I was really impressed with how the Cavs kept their composure and took it out on the scoreboard instead of retaliating with some shoving or their own cheap shot.

Kyrie gets six precious days to rest his legs. ECF should be fun.

Was wondering about all that. Dellavedova, Shump, and Thompson were the core of my team. I followed their scoring but had no context as to what was happening.

Can't wait to find a replay of the game but God damn, this sounds really, REALLY positive for a team that has had their depth and toughness questioned.

They aren't a 1 trick pony. If they make it to the championship, the representative from the West won't be seeing some pussy, pushover team from the East.
