Looking back how the hell did the Bulls get beat by the cavs??

[Gotright]

@jaguar paw it's similar to how SOME of the Cavs fans, and I stress some, were confident about the Cavs chances, before and immediately after they went up 2-1 in the Finals. Yes they were confident about winning, yet that doesn't mean they were oblivious to the team's weaknesses and the possibility of the Warriors coming back.

Off topic but since u can tell us why the Bulls lost to the cavs can you tell me why did the cavs lose to the Warriors

Because they didn't have enough depth/scorers to match GS and the personnel they did have didn't perform to the best of their abilities.

 

[Biscayne]

The Bulls are one of those mercurial teams like the Blazers or Rockets.

You just never know what you're gonna get.Bipolar ass squads

Bingo

 

[cornercommission2k12]

This is bullshyt.

@Populair @Brozay @cornercommission2k12 @CHICAGO @DRoseCantStop @GoldenGlove @beaniemac

Did you feel as if the Bulls issues/flaws (whatever you think they may be - be it the coach, players or both) weren't serious enough that they could cost them the Cavs series and a shot at a title?

Ask any bulls fan I been calling out the flawed ass roster all season. If it wasn't for jimmy emerging this team would have been set up exactly like the 2011 team, set up to hope that rose can carry them and fortunately jimmy raised up and that was a small boost to the roster but def not enough when noah and pau are older niko snell and mcdermott need developing, dunleavy is basically a bench player getting starter minutes, kirk is basically a corpse getting starter minutes and brooks and taj pretty much disappeared. I was pointing that out all season. I had hopes they could come together in the playoffs but their inconsistent play stayed in the offs too. I was skeptical of our chances even with all these things going on in cleveland in our favor simply because I knew our offense was suspect and thibs could be too stubborn to get out of his own way. And whenever kirk and noah was on the floor together in any capacity our offense went right to shyt and cleveland and Milwaukee defended jimmy and rose much better with 2 guys on the floor they can leave unattended.

 

[Biscayne]

Well....... That brings me to the same question why did the damn Bulls lose??? If lebron played like shyt????

LBJ didn't necessarily play like crap, he just played waaaaaaaay below his capabilities. Shooting 39% from the field while averaging 26ppg and nearly 5 TO's a game wouldn't be transfigured into anything positive if any other player did it. Sure he averaged 11ast, but every other aspect of his game(including his defense) was so off. The Cleveland Cavaliers collective team defense, and The Bulls collective garbage offense is the reason the Cavs pulled away. You saw the series. It'd go Jimmy Butler *clank*, LBJ *clank*, Noah *air ball*, LBJ *clank again*, Rose *pull up clank*, for a little over half a quarter, than finally Delly or JR, or Dunleavy would finally hit a 3 and break the combined scoring draught for both teams. Both teams played horridly offensive ball, and great defense. Clevelands offense just sucked a little less, and they finally figured it out in Game 6.

 

[Momentum]

Because Rose is washed.

Delly dropped 28 on him in a series clencher

 

[Biscayne]

Tired??? Are we talking about tired? Stop it when lebron had to score
Rebound he was the top rebounder
Assist he was the offense and ran it
Had to defend butler
And keep blatt from fukking up lol

If you already knew the answer as to how Chicago beat Cle, than why make this thread? It seems the only answer you were fishing for is, "Because LeBron>Chicago".

 

[InvictusAeternusEternus]

Hey look, there's someone that failed to mention it took Bron 25 shots to score 26 points, while turning the ball over 4.5 times a game.

Yet still Lebron is the one who carried them to victory


Yet again

He owns more Bulls than the Deseret Ranch

 

[Biscayne]

There's a difference between saying "we have a chance" and "we should win"

Cavs fans were straight declaring that Cle would end Golden State in 5 and maybe 6 after Cle went up 2-1. Many Cavs fans didn't "think" they had a chance, they thought there wouldn't be a Game 7(they were right tho lol). They were confident that Curry wasn't just missing open shots on his own, many Cavs fans felt that Delly would just continue to lock him down, and that JR had just as good of a chance of going off as Steph did. Let's be honest, all the talk from Cavs fans of "Curry is overrated", "Delly got heart", "JR will find his shot", "The Warriors are overrated", after Game 5 they all turned into "LBJ's by himself", "Curry's surrounded by so much talent", "Delly's a bum", "JR's too streaky", "They're lucky Kyrie was injured". <-----These were all flaws of Cleveland that Cavs fans knew would favor GS as the series moved forward after Game3, but because of the overconfidence of Cavs fans stuck in THAT moment(after a HUGE Game 3 victory) they ignored those glaring flaws that Cleveland had, in favor of proclaiming a Cleveland title before the Tip off of Game 4. And it's OK! The same thing happened to us Heat fans, after Miami won Game 2 in the 2014 Finals. We thought stealing Game 2 would in SA would grant us the Three-Peat. We all get caught up in the moment. And that's pretty much what happened to Bulls fans after Drose hit that game winning 3.

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

But if you listen to the coli he cant shoot or he has no post game and he cant win without 2 all stars .....but damn did the bulls quit?

this is why you dont listen to nikkas on the coli

 

[mr. smoke weed]

This shyt happened literally 4 months ago. What is wrong with some of you wack posters.

You are flat out making shyt up tonight.

None of this happened with any real core Cavs fans last season.

Well since Bulls fans have backed up what I've said in this thread, obviously I'm not making up shyt. Are you gonna sit there and tell me that Bulls fans weren't talking about the problems with this squad all throughout the regular season (as reasons behind why they'll fail in the postseason), before this series even occurred?

I like how you conveniently use this "real core Cavs fans" as if that applies to what I said. This is the exact reason I stressed "some".

nikka look at the god damn series poll in that thread and tell me who believed what.

Them nikkas whined about issues but still thought they were going to win the series. Anything else is revisionist history and I'm not entertaining it anymore.

You bringing up "some" is bullshyt. Anybody that actually followed the team before LeBron returned wasn't on some shyt.

We know they needed everything to go in their favor to even have a chance since they didn't have enough bodies to compete.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

You know very damn well that fans of their own team are more often than not, going to vote for their OWN team. That still doesn't take away from what the Bulls fans have said about their team all season long.

Them nikkas whined about issues but still thought they were going to win the series. Anything else is revisionist history and I'm not entertaining it anymore.

I'm not saying they didn't. This is what I keep trying to reiterate to you. I'm aware [some] they did. However, the reasons for why they lost are issues they've brought up all throughout the season. I'm not saying that they said they'd lose to the Cavs before the series started, OR ANY TEAM for that matter. By me saying that said issues were transparent and would eventually lead to their demise, isn't me saying that they didn't have the talent and ability to beat the Cavs.

This thread is about why did the Bulls lose to the Cavs - I stated reasons for why they lost - reasons that Bulls fans have stated about their team all season long. If they lost to the Bucks - the same reasons would apply. If they lost to whoever - the same reasons would apply (obviously in the context of injuries). Regardless if they had the Bulls winning beforehand.

Again, I'm not saying that Bulls fans didn't feel confident or didn't have their team beating the Cavs. Just stating reasons for why they lost.

You bringing up "some" is bullshyt. Anybody that actually followed the team before LeBron returned wasn't on some shyt.

That's not all Cavs fans though, this precept of dichotomy between "real core" Cavs fans and casual fans of Cavs/LeBron exists. This is why I said some - would you have liked me to put bandwagon Cavs/LeBron-stans instead? Besides there were actual Cavs fans that thought they could win after the team went up 2-1 and before the series started.

We know they needed everything to go in their favor to even have a chance since they didn't have enough bodies to compete.

And that was STILL possible. This is what the power of belief can do - sure you might see it this way, but that doesn't mean that next man does.
