NBA is so predictable. Everyone knew Harden wouldn't be getting calls tonight. All you have to do is complain

BANG!!! Rose with the 3 great game by the Bulls

Rudy tossed tigger's salad · 05-08-2015, 09:25 PM

Clippers are just better

Didn't see the game, but it doesn't surprise me that the Cavs lost. The depth just isn't really there without Love and that fact requires LeBron/Kyrie to do a hell of a lot in order to win (although looking at the box score, I'm amazed they were even in the game considering the two shot a combined 11/38).

Now they may still end up winning that series on the back of a great LeBron performance or two, but it will be tough. He's not quite playing at the same level he was a few years ago.

Kyrie was the problem tonight, he did nothing. They're saying he's playing with a sore foot, but everyone has some kind of nagging injury at this point.

Yeah...it looks like LeBron practically had to do everything tonight (27, 8, 14, 10/11 FTs)...which is kind of what he wanted to avoid in going to Cleveland in the first place. If Kyrie isn't healthy either and can't make his usual offensive contributions, the Bulls should win that series.

Unfortunately, the Cavs depth is so shitty right now that one player on an off day turns everything upside down.

There is no player more negatively impacted by lack of depth than kyrie. He played an insane number of regular season minutes. Plus, he's been excellent in the playoffs so far and is being asked to do a whole lot.

Mother****erJones · 05-08-2015, 10:34 PM

Ya, what Kyrie have 11 points? I see this as a seven game series.

Pasta Little Brioni · 05-08-2015, 10:35 PM

A Rose mehs and the Cavs win

KevB · 05-08-2015, 10:37 PM

Good lord Rockets. They've been shit for all but one quarter in this series, now Austin Rivers is absolutely lighting them up. What a mess.

Hootie · 05-08-2015, 10:39 PM

Austin Rivers

I'm so used to LeBron beating us in a series that it's just inevitable we lose. Would be nice to knock him out for once.

KevB · 05-08-2015, 10:43 PM

Somebody needs to check on Rudy --- probably needs to be pulled off the ledge.

It's one thing for CP3 and Blake to beat you. Austin Rivers? Yikes.

KevB · 05-08-2015, 10:47 PM

Oh shit, now Rivers is doing the Rockets stir it up motion.
