This isn't the worst thing to happen, a 5 or 6 game series will help give Mikey some time to figure out these new rotations. The small lineup worked pretty well but with Mo and Jamison in there the D is just too porous.

Potential 3 point play called an offensive foul which at no level of competition is an offensive foul...final score was a 2 point differential, am I right.

When Andy fouled out, the refs have to wait for the substitution before the next play can occur unless the team does not have enough eligible players, yet the next play counted (free throw).

Based on what?

If the D can't stop the Bulls, I can't wait to see what Orlando or the Lakers do to this team.

Take that to the bank.

Orlando and the Lakers don't have an elite point guard. Boston however....

They played down to their competition who was shooting the lights out on the road. The Cavs will be fine. You can take THAT to the bank

Mike Brown needs to change things up a little. Give JJ at least 10 minutes. Play him in the first half if your hesitant to play him. I'm curious what he will do against Noafag.

Most of you guys are, to put it politely, fucking idiots.

I laugh when people shit their pants because we lost a game....

This is the BEST thing to happen to us.. The Cavs were in cruise control for 2 full games worth of quarters, from the 2nd half of game one, all of game two and the first half of game 3.. The Bulls smacked the Cavs in the mouth and we FINALLY saw the playoff intensity pick up late in the 3rd quarter. This is how I expect the Cavs to play Game 4.. This will be a 5 game series now.

Some of you seem to forget that Orlando lost to Philly twice last season in the playoffs, it didn't stop their path to the Finals.. One game doesn't make or break a championship team.

Boston couldn't win a road game when they won the championship. LA let some games slip last season..

You guys are mostly pathetic. Especially guys like Mr. 300. GTFO, you're not a true fan.

That is all I'm saying.

The play was set up for Andy to hit Mo wide open in the corner. Chicago's coach schooled his guys well...and fouling AV.

The game was blown whenever LBJ had an and 1 wiped off on a bogus call.

Sunday's game is crucial now.

Sundays game will be a double digit win for the Cavs, with that said, it's only crucial for the Bulls. The Cavs don't have to win a road game.

From Windy:
Are Cavs in trouble? Only if Chicago scores 72 points outside the paint and gets 78 pts from Deng/Hinrich/Rose every night. Bulls won it.

Well...what we DO KNOW is that Shaq blows plain and simple. Fortunately, Brownie has figured it out.

Shaq picked splinters out of his ass after falling behind by 21. I look for Hickson to take over a lot of Shaq's minutes.

And....that will be the case against Howard too. Howard would eat Shaq's lunch.

I have a feeling the Bulls will come to play again Sunday. Second straight games Cavs struggled against them. We will have to see.

Also, interesting note, the Cavs went 7-7 with this officiating crew during the season..

Supposedly, Danny Ferry is talking to Stu Jackson about the crew.

You have to save that last TO as long as possible. Prior to this year Z would be the guy to inbound to there, but since his FT shooting has completely dropped off along with Jamison's, there really isn't a better option than Andy. It has to be someone with some size.

Don't want to go back home 2-2. You forgot that the Bulls won 5 straight road games against playoff teams earlier this year all on the road.

Cavs go back 2-2....then the pressure really turns, and becomes a must win on Tuesday.

Some more perspective for you "Cavs fans"..

4 of the last 5 champions lost the first playoff road game in the first round. 5 of 5 did not sweep.

I posted this on another thread and will repost it here. The Bulls aren't going to get many calls from the refs after some of the stuff you saw tonight. That alone benefits the Cavs. Hopefully this kicks the Cavs in the ass a little bit and they get things going in overdrive.

LOL, did you see Lebron's forearm extend? No? STFU noobshit.
haha no, he tucked his head down and ran into him like a running back hitting the hole.
He tucked his head down? LOL

Look, if a defender is moving he cannot take a charge UNLESS a forearm is extended for a push. It was an absolute joke call.

Anyways, good game by the Bulls. I expect the Cavs to get the next 2.

Its not the end of the world. However, I would have liked to seen the Cavs play with a little more energy at the begining of the game. Dont let a team that has no bidness beating you hang around. They need to come out and control game 4 from start to finish.

Good job by Cleveland to get back into it.

The charge called got us in the end, we may win that game if LeBron gets the and 1.

Overally, I thought we would lose Game 3 if any game. The series is still ours!
