Cavs put their starters in at the end of the third qtr when the bulls put in reserves. They took this game a little serious

Thibs is bad about overplaying his starters, but Larry Brown was much worse.
For all the complaining about Thibs riding his stars, check out the box score. Here's some things to note: Derrick Rose: 30 pts 5 rebs 3 asts 12-18 FG 4-5 3P 24 mins; Joakim Noah 6 pts 7 rebs 5 asts 2-4 FG 24 mins. Only Bulls starter to play over 30 minutes was Pau Gasol with 32.
Contrast that with the Cavs: LeBron with 32, Waiters with 33, Love with 35, Kyrie with 39! In a preseason game.
Rose DESTROYED the Cavs defense, especially Irving who was lost every time on the screen. On the opposite side, Rose shut him down with relentless defensive pressure. It wasn't until he played 15 minutes against our 3rd string PG that he started scoring. Love was terrible offensively but rebounded well. Jo did a great job of pushing him outside his comfort and denying him the ball in the post. The only bad spot I saw in the defense was allowing Varejao to look like an all-star. He always seems to play well against us. I felt the defense by committee on LeBron did well tonight, but with Butler out there, this might have been a flip flopped final score.
Going to be a fun regular season! My body is ready..
Yeah I think if Butler was in the game, there'd be much less overcompensation to help Dunleavy. I mean...Dunleavy did the best he could, but he was obviously in over his head.This probably wouldn't have happened if Butler was in, Lebron was making MDJ look silly causing an over-rotation and Varejao benefiting.
No offense, but I think you missed the point. :dunno:
Really? I would assume most people would be put Aurbach and/or Jackson above him. :dunno:Just saying. People complain about Thibs but Larry was worse and he is arguably the "greatest coach in the history of basketball"
:yep:WE LOST THE PRESEASON CHAMPIONSHIP
FIRE THIBODEAU AND GARPAX, TRADE IT ALL FOR MELO

I sure as hell wouldn't call Larry Brown the greatest coach ever. But he has had a ton of success. I think I heard the guys on PTI talking about Larry as the GOAT basketball coach, which I thought was B.S.
I don't really think Phil is the best coach either. Most successful but I wouldn't say the best ever.
