Phenomenal game. Close throughout with a heavenly finish.

Ehh I'd say it is more the other way around. Him talking shite to LeBron after getting dunked on was just hilariously dumb.

He just plays in a way a lot of people enjoy. Works his arse off.

Though seeing that some people said he was better than Marc Gasol in another thread makes me

There is so much from this game that is concerning both ways.

1. Where was Kyrie? Is he hurt? He wasn't just held in check. He had zero explosion.
2. How long is Pau out? I think it helped because Thompson was destroying him on the glass.
3. Noah also was basically taken out of the game as well
4. Lebron 2 bad games out of 3. It's clear now he will be dragging this team wherever they go.

If the Cavs pulled that out, I would go back and count how many botched calls there were in that 4th quarter.

Some good Butler plays on defense that they whistled him for, the obvious Butler travel to go up 1 late, LeBron jumping all over Rose before he hit the 3, LeBron swiping Butler's head on that missed 3, etc. NBA refs are absolute dogshit.

The Cavs played about as poorly as they could and it took a miraculous shot at buzzer to beat them. That's the optimistic view. The pessimistic view is the Cavs are better than the Bulls but have played like dogshit in two of the three games. Kyrie's no show was extremely disappointing. If he played even an average game, the Cavs probably win this going away. It's very concerning. Lot of things to fix before Sunday, and it starts with all of those damn turnovers.

Kyrie definitely didn't look himself. That ankle must be bothering him

Bulls will need Pau if they want to win the series.

Nothing new with Noah these days. I think he's hiding an injury personally.

I wouldn't say Lebron had a bad game. He couldn't finish but he had a damn triple double.

The Bulls shot a lower % from the field and got 10 points from Noah and Gasol combined on 4/15 shooting.

It isn't like the Bulls played amazing either.

You can slice the stats up but 8/25 shooting is terrible for Lebron. I mean he's one of the most efficient scorers in history.

Cavs coach said Kyrie has a sore foot that he aggravated tonight. I guess that explains that.

He definitely didn't shoot well, but still wouldn't say it's a bad game. Props to Butler on his solid D.

I think he played very bad, mostly due to butler being so good on D.

But they had 15 more rebounds,. shot 10 more free throws, had 6 more fast br AK points, and had 4 fewer turnovers. So they outplayed the Cavs in those facets; we'll see if they can keep that up. I still contend that Rose's play (37.5% shooting; 69 points on 72 shots) has been severely overrated this series (buzzer winner aside).

Rose cooked the Cavs at the end of game 1 with his drive and kicks.

Thibs finally playing Mirotic extended minutes at the 4 really opened up the floor for Rose and Butler to drive to the rim.

Yeh neither of these two teams is great right now. This Series and the current series on the West will be fun to watch, but the Finals won't be a great series
