Are the Clippers actually really good... or are the Rockets just REALLY, REALLY BAD?

"It's huge," James said when asked about the impact of Blatt's timeout request being missed by the officials. "Obviously, we all know we didn't have any timeouts at that time and we call one, we get a T. So, that's why we're a unit. That's why we're a team. And players make mistakes, coaches make mistakes and we have to be able to cover for one another. And T-Lue did that by covering for Blatt and I just try to cover for my guys on the floor. That's why we're a unit."

Pierce had a good look at that 3 but couldn't hit. Now time for the real game.

The New Orleans Pelicans have fired head coach Monty Williams after five seasons.

The Pelicans went 45-37 this season to earn the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. They were swept by the Golden State Warriors in the first round.

That's kinda shocking. Seems like he had the team buying in, to me. Hmmmm.

Not surprising to me. There had been a lot of criticism of the way the Pelicans ran their offense (they were near the bottom in passing and transition scoring).

Also, teams seem more comfortable these days firing coaches after good seasons. The idea is some coaches may be good at developing young players and creating a professional culture, but might not be able to take the team to the next level. The Grizzlies and the Warriors have had good results after doing this, the Kings not so much, and the Thunder should arguably have moved on from Brooks a couple years ago. I'd throw Randy Wittman in there but this postseason has been so weird.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15673 on:** May 12, 2015, 04:20:43 PM »

I legit think it came down to that one game they lost to the Warriors. It sort of had the season go from being a fairytale to being one of failure narrative wise.

Not saying that's necessarily fair but it is what it is.

Mandark · « **Reply #15674 on:** May 12, 2015, 04:42:01 PM »

Likewise, that one AD buzzer-beater against the Thunder meant they were a "playoff team" rather than a "lottery team."

You hope that actual NBA front offices don't make important decisions using results-based hot take logic, but...

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15675 on:** May 12, 2015, 07:07:25 PM »

Cavs start off standing around like statues on defense.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15676 on:** May 12, 2015, 07:12:36 PM »

Derrick Rose looking good.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15677 on:** May 12, 2015, 07:28:36 PM »

Nice little 3 point run by the Cavs.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15678 on:** May 12, 2015, 07:36:35 PM »

Lebron punishing them at the moment.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15679 on:** May 12, 2015, 07:57:01 PM »

I like that Lebron isn't bringing up the ball everytime up court. It's basically allowing them to get into their offense better.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15680 on:** May 12, 2015, 08:06:50 PM »

Notes

Great first half for Lebron
Better Cavs offense
Perkins is still shit.
Bulls really miss Gasol (obviously)

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15681 on:** May 12, 2015, 08:11:58 PM »

Nice to see Bosh at the half time show.

Honestly I think I prefer this cast to the regulars.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15682 on:** May 12, 2015, 09:00:43 PM »

I was expecting JR to do something stupid and get himself ejected for more games.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15683 on:** May 12, 2015, 09:02:54 PM »

Dellavedova

Yulwei · « **Reply #15684 on:** May 12, 2015, 09:10:49 PM »

they really should have kicked Dellavedova out as well. that leg lock was bullshit

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15685 on:** May 12, 2015, 09:20:38 PM »

Annoying to watch the Cavs get three happy instead of just playing ball when they have a lead.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15686 on:** May 12, 2015, 09:32:22 PM »

Cavaliers doing everything to give this game away. Awful play and awful calls from blatt.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15687 on:** May 12, 2015, 09:39:03 PM »

Great game from Lebron and the Cavs except for their shit play to start the game and for most of the 4th quarter. Game should never have been that close. Should have been like a 20 point win.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #15688 on:** May 12, 2015, 09:39:31 PM »

If the Cavs somehow manage to win (I think GS beats them, but who knows) Glen Shinobi's tears are going to be so deliciously epic.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15689 on:** May 12, 2015, 09:54:48 PM »

If the Cavs got there, I think they would stand a chance against the Clippers or Grizzlies but not the Warriors. So they should be heavily rooting for an upset out west.

Am_I_Anonymous · « **Reply #15690 on:** May 13, 2015, 12:02:47 PM »

Lebron with that GOAT level game. He can't keep that up for two more series. Somebody else HAS to step up and be consistent.

Bulls lost the series by giving up Game 4. Mike Dunleavy's old ass was the best scorer on their squad for sections of the game, and that's just sad.

I kind of feel salty for the Wizards, The Hawks don't even deserve to advance the way they're playing.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #15697 on:** May 13, 2015, 11:37:08 PM »

As a Cavs fan, I have too many bad memories of Paul Pierce gutting our team. I'd rather see the Hawks win.

Looks like Gasol is playing tonight. That's big for the bulls.

Stopping taking those jumpers Lebron. Your long outside shot is crap.

You couldn't ask for a better half than that. Let's see if they play the 2nd half with composure.

I really am liking Dellavedova in his role.

RIP in peace bulls

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15707 on:** May 14, 2015, 10:03:06 PM »

Dellavedova

This is pretty crushing for the Bulls. This is a team they were beating and imo isn't as good as those Miami teams. So this was a perfect opportunity for them.

Yulwei · « **Reply #15708 on:** May 14, 2015, 10:04:35 PM »

yea he's been shitting this game. good stuff

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #15709 on:** May 14, 2015, 10:24:26 PM »

Bulls had their season ended by Delladova, JR Smith and Tristan Thompson.

Looks like its going 7.

Josh just justified his entire season. And Corey Brewer was the dude I wanted the Cavs to get really bad.
