I honestly closed the game when we went down 2-7. Not because I'm not a good fan, but because if your team commits 5 turnovers in the first 3 minutes, they didn't care to show up and neither should you.

I saved myself 2 hours.

I felt this thing coming on in this game. They were not ready to play this game. No one showed up. I felt that Thibs has blown the match up in the first game and in this game we had the wrong people on the court a lot of the time. I don't know what the hell he has been thinking but Lebron made Butler look like a little kid and having Hinrich on the court was just giving the Cavs an opportunity to rest on defense and not worry about anything on offense.

I think right, now the the Bulls are going to blow this series. Gasol pisses and moans instead of busting his ass when things do not go his way. Rose is playing every other game, Gibson busts his ass as always and so does Butler but Butler is over-matched. Instead of this team busting their asses to attack Lebron, they are all sitting back and watching him go untouched to the basket. The guy is a truck and they are trying to guard him with subcompacts.

They didn't steal shit. They barely beat a team which lost two of the six top players/ There is no excuse for what happened tonight. The Cavs should have been knocked out tonight. Instead they let Lebron and the rest of those ass-holes do everything. Thibs played a horrible match-up game against the King and his COurt.

If anyone actually thought the Bulls were going to go 2-0 or 3-0 in the Cavs then they aren't realistic. This will be a 6 or 7 game series, and it started off with CHI breaking home court advantage... That's a good thing people. And get a grip, these teams are gonna trade wins and losses.

It is not a good thing. They had a chance to wreck Cleveland tonight. Hell, they were fortunate to win that first game. Against a team down two of their top six players. Now they get Smith back and if Thibs sticks with his stupid defensive match-ups, Cleveland is going to win this series because they have the top two players on the court in 90% OF THE GAME and our defense plays passively against them. WHY are they not beating up their stars? Why? Where is Mirotic and Snell and Gibson, and Noah beating the crap out of Lebron? Where?

I expected them to lose Game 1. So all-in-all, this ain't bad.

They should have Niko guard him.

Man if you think Butler is getting man handled by Lebron...I can't even imagine what Lebron would do on a regular basis to the guys you just listed.

It's not even Butler alone that is defending him. No one man can defend Lebron. The whole team needs to collapse, fill the paint and turn him into a jump shooter. Make him pass, rotate and get a hand up on the shooter.

The Bulls didn't bring help quick enough inside to Butler which led to easy penetration. When Lebron did kick out, shooters hit their shots and the Bulls were slow to get a hand up.

There isn't much you can do about that. Bulls need to bring more effort defensively though. I thought it was lacking this game. Delly, Jones and Shumpert won't combine for 11-21 from 3 again this series either.

Take away the 1st quarter and the Bulls won this game.

Maybe we need to sign Leonard in the offseason. :thinking:

Butler, Snell, Leonard...

And LeBron will still make plays.

I'm glad I had class at Keller tonight. I agree with Polar Bear, they need to double LeBron and do whatever it takes to limit him to jump shots and passes to Mozgov and Tristian.
