    Why are we not tlaking about this?

    This shot confims Lebron is greatness. to watch your team lose on a buzzer beater only two days ago, then to not get down and be positive and then pick yourself off the floor and drain your own game winner is something speical IMO

    Another flaw ruling in the NBA, with no timeouts left for either clubs the Cavs were able to draw a play up while the refs reviewed the time on the clock. Regardless there wasn’t much of play called in that final shot just Lebron losing his defender and draining a shot.

       I really don’t think that was much of a factor in the outcome. As you said, that wasn’t a play, just gave it to LBJ and shot and hoped. 

      I do agree however that it is a problem. It always happens in every single game. There is no way around because the officals are reviewing the call and can’t focus on opposing coaches to stop this from happeing.

       I heard one of the commentators say something that I agree with. During the review the players should not be allowed to return to their bench like it is a timeout and instead should have to stand on the court, unless a timeout is called during the review.

     Great winning shot by LBJ, real old fashioned tough play off game, D-Rose looking even sharper again,

     It was a great shot, even better than the one Rose hit in my opinion which was lucky to go in off of the backboard. But how can you call his performance greatness? he played terribly and has been playing terribly while defended by Jimmy Butler. If he would have limited the turnovers and bad plays then his team probably could have had a comfortable win today

      I am talking purely on the ability for a player who is not playing well and suffered a heartbreaking game winner to lose a big game on the road to not get down and drain one himself. A lot of players would have let their head down. Just thought it was a special big time play.

         His confidence to pull of that type of clutch play when he has been playing relatively mediocre ball (by his standards) is what was great. Not really his overall play. 

        This series has been a testament to how important that stretch four is for Lebron.

     If only the refs didn’t suck and were paying attention to Blatt trying to call The timeout when he had none left. LeBron woulda never been in that situation To make a game winner. Bulls shoulda had a technical foul free throw putting them up by 1 AND the ball with 9.4 seconds left!!!!!!! Why aren’t the refs watching the coach for a timeout call in a cruical game with less than 10 seconds left after a made basket by the opposing team???????..Just because the refs knew the Cavs had no timeouts doesn’t mean they shouldn’t of paid ttention to their head coach to see If he would try to call a timeout…Yes I am a bitter Bulls fan, but Cavs fans answer this….If LeBron had not made that shot, and you ended up losing the game, and you actually did have a timeout left when Blatt was trying to call ine, would you not have gone crazy on the refs for not granting Blatt the timeout??? I’m sick and tired of games being completly altered by inept refereeing…Also, LeBron looks like an NFL running back with all the stiff arms every time he dribbles..since when is this legal????? Cavs fans complain that Noah wasn’t called for a foul,but LeBron never even gets to Noah in the paint without stiff arming Jimmy butler the length of the court.

       I have a new found hate for all Bulls fans after reading all of the constant bitching on all of the social media sites, like holy shit, wheres all the Cavaliers fans bitching and harping about Butler traveling under the basket in game 3 with less than a minute remaining?

      Honestly, the only thing I’ve seen and heard from the majority of Bulls fans is bitching.  I mean good lord if you are just reading social media you would think the entire Cavaliers roster has 0 fouls throughout the entire series.

      And when Lebron went from side to side, holy sh*t Butler initiated the contact, they were bodied up, acting like Lebron extended his hand and just straight pushed him down the floor.

      As far as the Blatt timeout goes, referees are watching the players for time outs on those situations, plus they’re probably not paying attention to a bench that has no time outs.

      Also while were on this, I find it hilarious that Bulls fans are saying "well if we had Pau on the floor we would have won easily"  Your playing against a team that’s currently Lebron and friends, Kyrie can hardly move, Love is out for the playoffs, your Bulls team is at FULL STRENGTH, and you still can’t win.  Probably the referees fault right?

         I thought i was the only one who saw butler’s obvious travel…no point in "taking a step forward" with travel calls if you arent going to call them when it matters the most. 

        As for the whole "extra" timeout thing, yeah i agree with everyone here that it’s an issue but its not like this issue has suddenly come up out of nowhere, its been an issue all season so the cavs are playing by the same rules as everybody else. Also, i don’t hear anybody talking about the no call on noah when he basically jumped on lebron before he took off…that was a very obvious foul. Way more obvious than Blatt trying to call a timeout on the sidelines. 

        BTW did that shot remind you of game 2 Cavs vs Magic back in the day when lebron & co were desperate for a win? Crazy how so many years later he basically does the same cut and fade…just different spot on the floor. Incredible.

    Refs also somehow didn’t see Coach Blatt call a timeout when they had no timeouts left, heck he even walked on the court. That should have been a technical foul, and if so it would have changed the outcome.

     1. Lebron is frustrated by Butler’s defense, so he has resorted to pushing him with his off hand and "driving" the same way Frank Gore hits the gap. It is complely an offensive foul in any league at any level other than the "star driven" NBA.

    2. Bulls deserve NOTHING after that pitiful shooting. I know the phrase defense wins championships, but that phrase does not count on 0-12 shooting stretches that include wide open 3’s, layups and put back.

    3. When you hold a playoff team to 80 points, you would assume that you are up by 15-20 pts in the game. The lack of offense makes it painful to watch this Bulls team at times.

    4. Chicago fans are frustrated because we feel we have two superstars in Rose and Butler but they arn’t getting star calls for them (Butler has been less aggressive on offense because he is getting worn down guarding Lebron all game), but Lebron keeps getting away with whatever he wants. His reach on Rose with 9 seconds left in game 3 is a horrible no call.

    5. Tristian Thompson is a beast and is single handedly wooping the Bulls front court on the boards.

    6. Bulls are playing a Cavs team with No Love, No Varajao, hurt Kyrie and hurt Lebron, we have no right to make excuses about Pau being hurt. Over the last 3 years we have just been used to be the more injury ridden team, but in this series the Cavs are hurting worse.

      Stop it with the no calls stuff for the bulls. Again, butler traveled late in game 3 to tie it. you dont see cavs fans being a baby about it. Lebron got fouled late in game 4, no call was made there. How come you dont bring that up? Also the charge on noah was B.S. noah was still sliding moving. Stuff like this happen all the time. The cavs arent getting any special treatment and if you want rose to get more calls maybe you should tell him to drive to the basket more instead of taking all these pullups

         I don’t see how I am complaining. I clearly stated negative things about the Cavs AND the Bulls. Do you see me trying to make excuses? 

        And if you honestly think that superstars in the NBA don’t get preferential calls then you clearly don’t watch enough NBA. The Cavs arn’t getting calls, just Lebron. Tristian Thompson is working his tail off and he earned every foul that was called on Taj/Pau/Noah.
