Rose is back?
Don't want to take anything away from OPs Finals win but after 3 quarters of Cavs at Bulls - is it safe to say that D-Rose is back? Absolutely manhandling the Cavs so far. I'm really happy for him and Thibs also. Lets see if Bulls can pull it off

Re: Rose is back?
Absolute massive shot by LeBron. That keeps the Cavs alive in this series. If they had blown that with Pau Gasol not playing and gone down 3-1 to the Bulls, that's a hole they aren't digging themselves out of.

Re: Rose is back?
Did you guys see Blatt calling for a timeout before Tyronne Lue pulled him back? That couldve been a Chris Webber sized mistake and couldve cost them the game. Once i seen lebron take that step back i knew he made it haha

I was so excited... 0.8 seconds left and looks like we are going to OT. But then they changed to 1.5 and thats all James needs...

Bulls missed Gasol so much today in those stretches they couldn't score. When your shooters go cold dump it to the post and let your big work, but today they had no one to find easy buckets and punish the Cavs for going small. Niko was a complete piece of shit.
I don't know what the hell is Thibs thinking. Of course the Cavs are better when both teams play small. No team is better than LeBron in his own game. Thibs should have put Jo and Taj together, and let Taj guard Shumpert with Dunleavy on Smith. Instead he went with Dunleavy at the 4 and no interior D, so their D was heavily paying attention to LeBron's drives with only one big to contest and JR Smith punished them. Had they had 2 bigs their defensive rotation would be much better with two guys showing up on James if he gets past Butler..

Re: Rose is back?
So i kust read that the original plan for the out of bounds play was for Lebron was suppose to inbound the ball to JR. Lebron vetoed it and said he will shoot. What ypu guys think

If it wasn't for his assistant he'd have called a timeout and gave the Bulls a free win.

But he is some super legendary coach outside of US. How can he make such a mistake?

If your guy calls for a timeout in an inbounds play you might have to switch him with other player to inbound. He used 2 and Blatt insisted he was the right guy to inbound the play.
