I have to think after the injury, that ship has sailed.

Well unless they shipped Olynyk off.

Hey dumb fuck. Gasol is their starting 4 man dumb fuck. That's who lebron would guard dumb fuck. He gets twice the playing time of Gibson, their other 4 dumb fuck. That's the big man lebron would be on the majority of the game dumb fuck. Gasol isn't wearing lebron down dumb fuck.

This might be wishful thinking on my part, but the Bulls have looked completely different when they only have one day of rest, this is why I'm hoping it goes game 7 for them. Less rest and less prep time for the cavs. It seems rose is averaging about 45 minutes a game.

Even when Rose and the Bulls were at full force a couple years ago they weren't a real threat. People have been talking up the Bulls for years and they haven't done anything. Do I think it will be an easy series? No. We still have the best player on the planet along with the 2nd best player on the court. I like our chances.

It fucking kills me what the celtics did in game 4. I would be confident with beating the Bulls in 5 with love after seeing them play this series. Honestly the bucks should be up. They choked away game 3.

The Bucks winning last night is a small miracle. Give the Cavs a few extra days to work things out, make the Bulls play another game, and who knows maybe Milwaukee can take it to game seven.

That.

Any extra time the Cavs can get right now is sorely needed.

But I'm also not as afraid of the Bulls as a lot of people seem to be.

The Cavs aren't getting extra time.

The only thing this is doing is making the Bulls play more games.

More days rest/healing for Love before playing either the Bulls or Bucks in the 2nd round = "extra time." And I'm not saying Love has a chance to play in this series but the more down time he has, the better.

Explain? I'm not intimately familiar with the NBA playoff schedule but does the next round start at the same time regardless of when the previous series end?

It starts Saturday or Monday.

That makes zero difference in Love's recovery.

Pick6 posted a tweet that said the earliest the semis would start is Saturday. If the Bulls/Bucks goes 7, the semis start Monday.

Only bad thing is, after the first round we start stretching these series out. I haven't seen a full 2nd round schedule but I think it's more days off in between.

Maybe I misread it/misread somewhere, but I think with the Bucks winning last night and forcing a game 6 means it will start Monday.

Probably irrelevant though. I see the Bucks winning game 6 at home with all of the momentum and most likely losing in game 7.

Also, would have picked Love to go to LA over Boston being that his dad played there. (Not that I think he is going anywhere though)

When the potential recovery time is 2 weeks, then 2 days or 1/7 of the time makes a difference. I know for the next series it won't really matter, but it does for the future. Also, it gives our guys a little more time to rest up and prepare.

some mid-round guys I like that I have familiarity with are Rashad Greene, Tyler Lockett, Funchess (sorry that dude they signed is not a starter), Ty Montgomery, Diggs (he's been discussed on here, but I think worth the risk in mid-rounds, O'Leary (yes please), Jesse James, and Chris Conley. Even Titus Davis late round. In my mind, definitely some potential studs up for grabs.

Yeah your post said if it went 6 or more.

Even if they make the finals I don't think Love will play again. A torn labrum would be real hard to play through.

I don't think he will play again either but think they're just not wanting to say he's out for the playoffs. Make it series by series while you're still alive.

I think Love is done for the season honestly. However, we can still win without him.

Yeah he's done. An average person can get by in life with a slight tear. Even though it's his non-shooting hand has to raise his arms and have them over his head. He's pretty much screwed.

He can opt out after this season if he likes.
