It doesn't help that Gasol was out the last two games. Rose is healthy and they still can't make it to the Finals. Pretty sad especially when you consider they play in the East.

Bulls have looked completely awful the last couple of games. No idea how the games have even been close.

At the end of the day it comes down to talent, and the Cavs just have the best two players this series: Lebron James and Matthew Dellavedova.

Noah looks like a 4 year old trying to shoot layups. He literally can't hit 3 footers. Really dunno how you lose that skill as a 7 footer.

Don't know what's worse. Noah doing layups or Deandre Jordan shooting free-throws. Dude is so horrible at them.

Watching Howard and Jordan shoot free-throws isn't half as annoying as listening to Reggie and Kevin Harlan complain about watching them shoot free-throws. I get it...you don't like the strategy. They're not going to change the fucking rules between games, so shut up about it.

It does make the game painful to watch though. I would hate to pay money for a playoff game and watch Jordan and Howard miss free-throws for an hour.

That's fine, but as an announcer they're either preaching to the choir, pointing it out and making someone annoyed with it that might have just been casually watching and didn't care, or just annoying the viewers that don't mind it.

Now that I think about it...it's really the way they're complaining that's the problem. Jeff VanGundy does it all the time, but he usually offers a solution and doesn't harp on the subject the entire game/series. Reggie and Kevin just complain about how long the game is and how annoyed they are. Every. Time. They. Get. Fouled.
If there's a rain delay, don't tell me how annoying the fucking rain delay is. Good commentators can keep you engaged and distracted from annoyances...not highlight them.

As a Cavs fan, even I think the flagrant 2 on Taj Gibson was a bit overboard. It was "something" but not sure it was flagrant 2 worthy.

Right now my biggest concern is going to be health. Assuming we finish off the Bulls and move onto the Eastern Finals, we have a team that is crippled with injuries. Best player or not, Lebron can't be expected to do it all in the playoffs. Kyrie's performance last night was encouraging but still a long way to go.

Seems the winner of Cavs/Bulls will be playing the next round in wheelchairs. More arguments for a shortened season inc?

LeBron slimming up does seem to have helped his playoff game, considering the absurd minutes he has averaged. Still baffled when he seems to take an entire game off, though. It seems like he should be able to go beast whenever he wants, but then he doesn't.

Will Rose actually play out the final game of a season? He looked like he was in pain. Stay tuned!

LeBron actually put on weight at some point this season; he was even thinner at the beginning of it when the Cavs where playing like shit then bulked up again so he could dominate like he used to.
