Cleveland's crowd is incredibly underwhelming to me, Bulls go on a 15-0 run and it's quiet as hell in there, how about some cheering and energy to get the team to defend and get some stops.

That Bulls team is not as good as they looked tonight, a lot of that was Cleveland's poor play especially defensively.

Yeah, the crowed should be ecstatic over a 15-0 run on their team! /sarcasm

95% of crowds do the same thing, it's not specific to Cleveland.

You continue to baffle me. Sometimes you make insightful points, like this one. Other times you say the dumbest shit.

Home teams rarely give up 15 points in a row, but when they actually do, NO FUCKING HOME CROWD IN THE WORLD PUMPS ENERGY INTO THE BUILDING

I'm not terribly upset with the game. The cavs got a good game from kyrie and Shump, a decent game from lbj and then nothing else. They had 2 chances to take the game and didnt, and both times they didn't Chicago went on a run. The bulls made all their wide open looks and some really tough contested ones too.

My only issue with the game was delly playing the entire 4th and mozgov not playing in the 4th. And of course their pick and roll defense.

They also over helped way too much.

But really I expected a slow start and for them to struggle early by being rusty. They were. Then they got it going, but couldn't get over the hump. I'm certainly not ready to panic yet.

Disagree with a few things in this post...LBJ did not play a decent game...he was just bad. Mozgov didn't do enough to warrant more playing time. Delly wasn't awful.

That looked like the beginning of a Cleveland loses in 5....I believe they will get it going and win in 6 or 7

Mozgov provides length. Something they lacked in the 4th quarter. That alone is worth him being in there. Not sure how delly wasn't awful though. He made 2 shots, and was consistently beat badly in 1 on 1 situations that led to wide open looks for the bulls. Delly is OK in spurts. You can't play him an entire 4th quarter of a playoff game. Probably says even less about what Mike miller and James Jones were doing.

Also the biggest reason having JR out hurts so much. Those delly minutes are his or shumps

Oh fuck D Rose is back. When he's healthy like this that offense is a heck of a thing to watch, Chicago had wide open shots all night. That's the thing, without Love the Cavs are a much slower team and struggle to space the floor out. No question Chicago is the better team right now

Lol at saying Rose was garbage last week. Let's hope he doesn't continue next game.

The difference in this game is missing Love/JR. No real scorers off the bench. Fucking JR.

Dunleavy and Gasol shot the ball really well. Cavs usually win the 3 ball stats but were slaughtered in this game. Other than Gasol. I thought the Cavs contested the shots. Wouldn't put much blame on Delly. He led the team at +8 when he was out there.

Mosgov played like shit. Poor hands, and a measly 5 rebounds in 26 minutes, totally unacceptable. Other than LeBron's sloppy play. the team took care of the ball pretty well.

In the last 3 minutes it looked like there was no gas left in LeBron's tank.

Realistically, going 1-1 w/out JR would be a win for the Cavs. Come back from Chicago at 2-2 and I love the chances.

I didn't realize the Bulls shot 53% from three. That's absurd.

They were WIDE open, other than a few Rose looks. Dunleavy is not good, but he won't miss if he is that open. Butler hit one with no one around, same with Rose. These guys are in the NBA, they will all make wide open shots nearly every time.

Another thing about their 15-0 run... during that stretch, there was a period where they hit 10 out of 11 shots. Yes, some of those were wide open, but others were not. Several of those were contested fade-aways that went down. The Bulls had us in a hole early, and we just couldn't ever get over the hump.

Keep in mind, the Bulls had a highly competitive series against the Bucks as well. They came out and started fast, played high-intensity basketball, and executed very well. The Cavs did not, were short handed, and shot poorly... And lost by 7. I'd like to see a little more Kyrie in the 4th quarter, but I'm encouraged that we played so poorly (kudos to the Bulls D) and yet we were still right there with multiple opportunities to take the lead down the stretch. Let's take Game 2 and go to Chicago with them on their heels.

Indeed. On the flip side we had wide open shots and they would not go down.
