***THE OFFFICIAL BGOL 2015 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD*** Who you Got?

i dont see butler as this star player theyre trying to make him out to be

but we'll see, fam

i think this matchup is perfect for the cavs

the cavs will lose in the finals to the spurs

Its not that he's a star its that he's a wing player that actually demands some attention. You can't just say OK we're going to slide so and so on him so Lebron can focus on D. Rose and not expect butler to take advantage of the lesser defender. that's why i think it will be good games due to all the cross match ups.

 

[alexw]

Look how average he looked on the Lakers when he was playing center by himself..

i cant debate stupid...im done with you

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Dunleavy. Difference is, Put LeBron on Rose, JR is a completely different defensive player since coming to the Cavs, so he will hold his own against Butler, and if I had to bet on a player exploiting a mismatch consistently to the point of changing the tone of a series I take LeBron over Butler any day of the week...

And that's exactly the point. You trying to go in on Rose for not being able to handle Kyrie while acknowledging that Kyrie can't handle Rose, so much so they're going to put him on Dunleavy.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

i cant debate stupid...im done with you

He literally brought them 2 rings and 3 finals appearances and they never featured him in the offense.

Just crazy man

 

[LSN]

i cant debate stupid...im done with you

I honestly don't know why yall entertain him @ all

bruh jr smith has done very well against butler all season

again, i dont see it

the bulls played well against the cavs 1 time and thats when love was out with the eye injury

 

[alexw]

And that's exactly the point. You trying to go in on Rose for not being able to handle Kyrie while acknowledging that Kyrie can't handle Rose, so much so they're going to put him on Dunleavy.

kyrie doesnt have too tho

thats what shump and jr are for

and in the 4th lebron will lock him down like the other times in the playoffs

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

I'd rather Jimmy take the last shot anyway, put Lebron on Rose.

 

[curryshotta]

Gasol will have a decent series but he has to deal with Mozgov, Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson. The cavs might even throw Marion in there.

So Gasol will have his hands full.

The real issue for Chicago is that the Cavs can hang with them in the rebounding department. If they bulls dont seriously dominate them on the glass then they are in for major headaches.

As usual they bulls will try the tactic of trying to be overly physical and hoping the refs cant call of them....

I wont be disrespectful and say that Chicago doesnt have a chance to win the series.....I just aint trying to hear no bullshit excuses if they dont.

I got my hand on the detonator for their ass if they dont reach the ECF

 

[alexw]

yeah thats guaranteed to happen

usually in the 4th

but with shump and jr, bron may not have to guard him at all

but he will because he knows he locks him down

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

And that's exactly the point. You trying to go in on Rose for not being able to handle Kyrie while acknowledging that Kyrie can't handle Rose, so much so they're going to put him on Dunleavy.

Dude you got your cape flapping for Rose like I'm making this Rose against Kyrie... My Point is, the mismatches Rose's defensive liabilities will cause the Bulls are greater than the issues Kyrie's will cause the Cavs. At the end of the Day, the x Factor is, the Cavs have the best player in the world, and the Bulls don't, and he will factor more in the mismatch scenario than Butler or anyone on the Bulls...

 

[curryshotta]

if Lebron has to guard Rose then things have gone sideways at any rate...and the Cavs deserve to lose should it come to that

man chicagos coach isnt even returning next year

these dudes are done

im telling yall the cavs arent losing until the finals

the spurs will give them that work and make it look easy in the process

the cavs will be the favorites next year tho

 

[alexw]

huh? he's always guarded rose

this is nothing new

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

Look how average he looked on the Lakers when he was playing center by himself..

On a team that wasn't going to make the playoffs anyway

On a roster that wasn't shit

With a coach that didn't know how to use him

For an organization that had been trying to trade him for several seasons

And you wanted him to put up monster numbers? Muthafucka for what?

I don't you don't even see how your cape is flapping for Kyrie excusing him from the defensive side of the ball while trying to condemn rose for his shortcomings

I never even predicted a winner. I just specifically spoke on one issue you brought up.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

bruh jr smith has done very well against butler all season

again, i dont see it

the bulls played well against the cavs 1 time and thats when love was out with the eye injury

The bulls starting roster has played 5 games prior to these 4 playoff games. I don't know what's going to happen when the series starts I have to wait until after game 1 to see how each coach is going to play it to decide.

 

[alexw]

a history of bron owning rose lol

well i dont see them building team chemistry against the cavs

thats actually a negative for them

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

So, based on your statement you have difficulty comprehending the context of the post you quoted, which is cool... not sure where I've excused any of Kyries defensive shortcomings in any of my posts, but if thats what you extrapolated from them, I understand

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Warriors taking care of their business.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

So, based on your statement you have difficulty comprehending the context of the post you quoted, which is cool... not sure where I've excused any of Kyries defensive shortcomings in any of my posts, but if thats what you extrapolated from them, I understand

completely wrong angle to try and take in a basketball discussion

but that's when you have nothing else to say, you resort to those personal attacks

have a good one hoss

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

well i dont see them building team chemistry against the cavs

thats actually a negative for them

not really building the chemistry just the option to be at full strength which is why there aren't any excuses for the bulls in the series.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

completely wrong angle to try and take in a basketball discussion

but that's when you have nothing else to say, you resort to those personal attacks

have a good one hoss

How is that a personal attack, and for you to take it there seems like a little emotional response actually...

And its not a wrong angle, I made two reasonable common sense points,

1) When in any of my post did I excuse Kyrie's defensive liabilites as you accuse
2) If that's what you took from the post you quoted, then you have difficulty comprehending my post...

So actually, I have said all I needed to say concerning this matter without the need to validate my points..

You have a good one too Bruh

 

[Llano]

man chicagos coach isnt even returning next year

Spurs not getting past the Warriors.

Lebron can contain Rose, Irving not so much.

Lebron's going to have to choose between Rose or Butler.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[alexw]

jr and shump have guarded butler just fine all season

we're making butler into something he isnt yet

Again with the weak ass go to when you have nothing to say. There's nothing emotional about my responses but tossing it out there doesn't make it so.

Next You pointed out Rose not being able to guard Kyrie. I pointed out Kyrie not being able to guard Rose. Let's focus on both. I said its funny because you want to focus on Rose not being able to do it as if Kyrie CAN which he cannot so what sense does it make to laugh at one person for not being able to do something the other can't do as well?

Next when is questioning someones comprehensions skills not a personal attack?

What instance is that not an attack saying someone is having trouble comprehending something?

Exactly.

 

[BrownTurd]

Lebron cant contain or gaurd Rose. He was able to guard Rose in that playoff series with the Heat was because Chicago and no one else who could score.

This bulls teams have more than one scorer

 

[alexw]

Spurs not getting past the Warriors.

i dont know about that one

we just saw the spurs destroy golden st a couple weeks ago

they made it look pretty damn easy too

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Monty is bad man

 

[RoadRage]

This is how I see the LeBron/Butler, Rose/Irving match up, its going to be much harder for Butler to match LeBron in scoring and very difficult for Rose to match Irving points.. In order for this to happen for the bulls either LeBron or Irving will have to have a off night, or they have to be having one of their better nights of the year...
If Rose go for 30 it would be one of his better nights for the season, if Irving goes for 30 it would be an average game for him... While if Jimmy scores 30 thats career high numbers while 30 is what you expect from LeBron even against the best defender and best defensive teams in the NBA..
If the Bulls want to have a shot, they have to hope that JR, Love Shumpert have a very poor shooting series while guys like Snell, Mirotic, Brooks and Hindric have the playoff of their lives...
The real problem, is if everyone plays to form the bulls should be at an disadvantage..

Phew... Here you go Dude...

I never even predicted a winner. I just specifically spoke on one issue you brought up.

My post summarizes my whole position on the D Rose/Kyrie debate we were having...

The highlighted part is where I speak specifically to the comparison, and your highlighted part speaks to what you comprehended from my point...

In no way does that sentence, condemn Rose and excuse Kyrie, it basically points out both, but speaks to the respective impacts of each of their weaknesses on their respective teams as I see it...

Therefore, your take on it obviously means you comprehension of what I typed was incorrect, which is what I pointed out, based on the context of the posts. That's not personal, it's an observation...

So, again, you secondary contentions are wrong... I've said all I needed to say on the matter, you either didn't or refused to comprehend my point which I spoke to, so it is what ti is...

So your right... Exactly...

 

[RoadRage]

Spurs not getting past the Warriors.

I don't know about that one... If the Warriors don't knock them out early the better I like S.A. chances..
