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

Butler showing his ass in his first two playoff games.

Surprised the Bulls have been able to score as much as they have over the last 2 games. Dont know if folks knew this,..but the Bucks had the 3rd or 4th best defense in the entire league. Only team better than them were the Warriors and Grizz.
 
Butler is really a small forward playing the 2 spot, but with teams like the Bucks if they put a 2 on him they are too small and weak if they put a 3 on him they are too slow.. Vs the Cavs they can throw LeBron on his ass, and thats that, mystery solved..

This ninja...

You gonna have to get that LBJ tatt removed from your lower back once the Cavs get eliminated in 6 or 7 next round.
 
If you don't have the right personnel then its no way you can beat the Bulls, the Bucks are tailor made for the way they play... Matter of fact the Bucks play direct opposite to the way the Cavs play so things that may work against the Bucks (packing the paint, daring them to beat you from the outside) would be disastrous vs the Cavs.

Fake ass Cleveland fans always bringing up Lebron during a Bulls win

nigga nervous.

he in here typing about the fucking Cavs...but the Cavs aint even playing.

Bulls almost got 70 boards.
But also had too many to's <---i know the Buck d is good..but we gotta fix that.

Hope we end this series sooner rather than later.
Let the Bucks focus on the return of Jabari.

Look the Bulls played a close game vs a team that can't shoot from the outside, dribble, pass, attack the basket, grab offensive rebounds, or is smart... And you are impressed with that shit..:lol:
 
compare that with the Cavs situation

You still have no leg to stand on bruh..the core of your squad has been there long enough.

Pau been there an entire season now....Thibs been the coach for a good 4 years...pooh bean wearing business suits and watching practises for basically 3 years...he should know his teammates inside out...god knows he has watched enough tape


Dont give me no excuses...if you dont make a finals chicago got to move to new york and become the third useless team there


What about the cavs?

They ain't won shit or been on my tv past april since 2009

Cavs have the best player in the world to bring them all together.

21 games is 21 games

Waiters wasn't shit at all nor was he a core piece.

By the way u just seen Jimmy butler destroy the bucks in the 4th like it was nothing

Imagine what he will do with Earl sticking him

:itsawrap:

Is Earl your nick name for LeBron or Shumpert because that's who they will put on him.. LeBron would fuck with his physicality and has speed to stay with him while Shumpert would fuck with him every time he puts the ball on the floor..
The Bucks have no player in there roster who can match up with him defensively, this is why Butler is known to have big monster games vs certain types of teams and less than stellar numbers vs teams that can match up well against him..

...and they needed Jimmy to score a third of their damn points, but niggas :dance: :hmm:

Adjustments are always made throughout the playoffs.
Tactics used in round 1 will change in round 2.
You adjust according to the team that you play.
With that being stated...nothing about the Cavs scares me...never has.
Im looking forward to the matchups, and who steps up; cause LBJ wont be able to guard the entire team all at once.

In their minds the bulls are going to have all five men in the paint, like they did vs the buck while LeBron, Kyrie, Love, JR, Shumpert, and Jones brick all their wide open shots..:lol:
I bet they are thinking, well hey, it worked vs the bucks why stop now..
Not saying that its impossible for the bulls or anyone else to win, but they will not be able to play like they did vs the bucks and expect the game to even be close.

Earl smith Jr

Aka Jr smith

I already put the lineups in the thread

Pooh will be sticked by kyrie (rookie playoffs)

Jimmy will be sticked by Earl

Dunleavy will be sticked by Lebron

Pau by Love

Noah by mosgof

Blatt can't put jr on Dunleavy, he can't close the perimeter fast as Lebron, which means 3 will be dropping and pleas will be coppin

The only adjustments they can make is guarding the outside shooters, then they are going to have the paint wide open... This is why teams have so much problems vs the Cavs and why no one has been able to beat them once they start hitting the outside shots.. The one good thing and hope many teams have is that one in about ever 4 games they have bad shooting games and during those games you can pack the paint vs them and usually beat them.. Hoping that they have 4 games like that out of 7, is really asking for a lot, and thats keeping it 100..
 
who is the core of that team? taj gibson noah and rose.. every other compartment is either super young or this is their 1st year on the squad those are just the facts.


Injuries...horrible crippling injuries are not an excuse


Who's hurt on the Wizards and why do they need an excuse? They were young and are taking their steps in the playoffs.

dunleavy has been there

taj has been there

noah has been there

Thibs has been the coach there

Butler has been there

they got rid of Boozer...a supposed impediment to hear bulls fans over the year and got Pau Gasol

They got rose back...he played more than enough games for them this year

how many more years before they can get "chemistry"

And you know what funnily enough...chemistry was stated as one of the reasons stated for the bulls being one of the favorites this year

doubt me?

google chicago bulls chemistry and see what comes up

JR is very athletic and has good feet and plays much better defense than those bozos on the Bucks, but here is the thing, the Cavs have three options for Butler two for Rose while the Bulls have none, absolutely none for LeBron and none for Irving..
Remember LeBron has been cruising this whole season saving it for big games, in reality he can drop 40pts vs the bulls practically any time he wants..
 
So we're just going to ignore the fact that the Bucks are one of the best defensive teams in the league?
 
Monty Williams needs to play that big ass tree (Asik) as little as possible this series. That lineup with Anderson and Davis could give the Warriors trouble.

They ok on defense a bunch of slow lanky goofy guys may disrupt some teams, but I can't see how they should be a problem vs good offensive teams.. The Bucks are also one of the worst offensively challenged teams I've seen in the playoffs in a long long time, this is why I can't see them staying with in 15 pts of the Cavs if they played in the playoffs . BTW with LeBron playing the lowest the Cavs scored against them this year was 104 pts..

Next year the Pelicans are going to be a problem, this year they are missing a few shooters and confidence, but if they some how figure it out, they can be a problem this year.
 
The Cavs have weaknesses as well....Interior Defense and Rebounding and No post presence inside.....

The bulls strengths are rebounding and a great interior defense and passing inside..

The bulls can beat the cavs

JR Smith is prone to long COLD STREAKS, SHUMP aint reliable shooter, Kevin love looks lost. The best shooter is Kyrie.

A Top 3 defensive team is just ok on defense? You don't see how a Top 3 defensive team could disrupt a good offensive team?

So maybe they don't have one guy who's a defensive juggernaut. TEAM defense is just as disruptive.

You see they had to double team Rose to take him out the first half. Held us to 13 pts in the 1st, 7 TOs in the first half.

All I'm saying is - don't discredit the Bucks' defense. The Bucks could've won, probably should've won for their defense in the first half alone.

It's just that they don't have that offense to capitalize on the opportunity.

Plus, they can't double Rose and then have single coverage on Butler because they don't have anyone who could cover Jimmy one on one. They gotta pick their poison. They're probably going to try doubling Jimmy in Game 3.

The Cavs are one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA and can easily match them with size, this is why they beat the Bulls three out of four games... But whats funny you said all of that with out mentioning LeBron, a guy who always beats these types of teams in the playoffs and have proven in the past that he can single handedly destroy the bulls even with rose at mvp form ..
