Keep in mind that the matchups aren't exactly true, right down to the last shot. You have to weigh into account double teams, missed shots for the sake of and extra defenders. It just gives you a general picture of how x-player defended y-player.

If you go back a page and look at my original post in this thread it was regarding the Bulls fans confidence.

Thats it.

I'm not going to sit here and let that slide like my mentions weren't a Weeknd CD first week when they thought the Cavs were done.

That's part and parcel of playoffs basketball and sports as a whole on this board. The shyt talking. The [false] bravado. Again, of course they had confidence with the situation the Cavs were in. I'm just explaining to you the reasons as to why they lost. Reasons that they were well aware of before the series began.

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?

@Gil Scott-Heroin I don't feel like going through the Bulls thread and the series thread. bigger task then I was expecting

But my point still stands

 

[jaguar paw]

Bulls fans knew this shyt was gonna happen, they called it well before the series - hell they called it before the playoffs.

Act like you never posted this brehs...

They need to trade everyone but Jimmy butler. Roster is too old and too injured

No, just no. Butler isn't gonna lead this team to a championship, people gotta realize that. The only player that can put the team on their back is a healthy Derrick Rose. And by healthy, I mean playing to his fullest potential. Not the bootleg version y'all saw last season.

You see, you misinterpreted my post. Why do you think I said "hell they called it before the playoffs"? Let's go back to this post -

A ticking time bomb ready to explode and it finally went off in the second round.

By me saying that they knew this shyt was gonna happen, and that they called it before the series and the playoffs is me saying that all these issues bubbling beneath the surface were eventually going to boil over at some point. It just so happened to be in the second round against the Cavs. Again, most if not all these reasons for why the Bulls lost were discussed [ad nauseum] before the Cavs series, before the playoffs and some before the season even begun.

@jaguar paw the Bulls fans were completely conscious of the fact their team was a "ticking time bomb ready to explode". That's all I was saying.

Your point doesn't stand, because you're arguing against something I was NEVER arguing for.

Kyrie was hurt
Love was out
Jr was suspended the first two games

And they wanna come in with the excuses

Not to mention their bench being better then ours was a huge talking point. And the versatility of niko

Damn I forgot JR was suspended lol woooooooooooow and the Bulls still lost that's fukking crazy and yes the Bulls fans smelled blood laughing that lebron had to carry those bums and I remember some said it will be a sweep!! Pau beasting rose dishing dropping 30 lebron being locked up by jimmy buckets the Bulls fans was wilding before the series!!

Where was the humbleness after they raped the Bucks in the closeout game? Them cats THOUGHT this was their time.

Bulls fans in general are always critical.....whether it was Thibs or GarPax. Which in all honesty is warranted. Let's not act like you weren't for Thibs the entire time.

It never stopped them from thinking they could get through the East. Which is the only reason I typed words in this thread. You were wrong.

 

[Lootpack]

Ever noticed how when the Bulls win Game 1 against Lebron, they end up losing the series? Every time in the playoffs.

And they had reason to. Why is it, you continue to run down this path of me saying that they weren't confident? Being confident about winning and conscious of your team's flaws aren't mutually exclusive. By continuing to stamp this point, you're basically saying the Bulls fans weren't aware that there was: a disconnect between Thibs and the team, Noah broken down, Rose still playing inconsistent, Hinrich's minutes count ending in a negative impact, lack of effort, lack of offense etc etc. All reasons for why they lost.

When you know this isn't true, since they had been discussing all these points well before the series started.

What relevance does this have to the discussion?

It never stopped them from thinking they could get through the East. Which is the only reason I typed words in this thread. You were wrong.

Again, why is it you think I'm saying they weren't confident of accomplishing this? For the last time, I simply stated reasons as to why they lost, and said that the fans were conscious of these things unfolding before the series started - meaning they were well aware they could potentially lose because of said reasons. These are ALL facts.

Noah was absolute trash(He was lingering with injuries)
Pau was out 2 games? He missed some games and again lingering with injuries
Butler was playing 48 mins a night trying to defend Lebron and score 20 a game, dude got tired by game 6.
Rose was very inconsistent, had some good games but mostly was trash.

The team got DESTROYED game 6

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
