Making this post before the stateless bandwagoners/too-much-time-on-their-adult-hands agenda warriors sully the experience of what should be a great series.

Both teams have issues. Both teams will need to play to a level they haven't (or rarely) reached all year to win.

Let's do this.

Sucks not being able to watch games in realtime.

Got to literally be off the grid for hours to avoid spoilers. Though the benefits of fast forwarding commercials via DVR is significant.

waking up at 9/10 on the weekends to watch football must be a chore (for ppl who dont like waking up early)


EST ftw.

-------------------
I wanna go to where the martyrs went
the brown figures on the walls of my apart-a-ment...

you can watch MNF and SNF, you can have a full day on Sunday after your team plays, etc. for football, it's way better. if you cant suck up waking up at 10AM, i dont know what to tell you. it's not like watching european soccer, which is a condemnable act at any hour anyway.

similarly you can watch eastern, central and west coast teams, provided you structure things well. i mean back east you can see the eastern teams, whooptydamndo. in the nba (and to a lesser extent the NHL) you miss out on all the teams worth watching because they play from 10/1030 until 1230/1. if you have the same square job that keeps you from watching games that start at 4 in the west, there is absolutely no way you can stay up that late on a regular basis.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

games anyway. Wake up on Sunday morning and watch the game from your bed. I remember waking up at 10am on vaca and Vegas and watching the Giants play. It was dope.

Even if you are at work, there's ways to follow the action. If its midnight and your ass is tired, you've got no hope.

or ppl who just arent early risers...


but during the weekday it has to suck for ppl working 9 to 5 with games starting at 4....especially during march madess

the first games start at noon in the Central time zone. the Sunday night game starts at 7:30.

i think the 10AM start is too early - the Sunday morning news shows are still on then. plus i like to watch NFL Countdown...which starts at like 7AM out there. that's too early too.

and out east it all starts too late.

IMO Central gets the best of NFL scheduling. though Mountain might be better.

fuck you.

went from two-time defending champion of my fantasy football league back home to dead-last with at least five times not setting my lineup because I woke up past 10 on Sunday morning after a Saturday night out.

Also it made tailgating stressful (because I had switched from Eagles season-tickets to hitting every Trojan game since I was able to see them for the first time in my life).


But I was also still in my mid-20's then.

Now I'm on the back end of my 30's.

I don't even play fantasy football anymore.

My Trojan live game attendance has dwindled to a couple games a season.

My body can't really sleep to 10 anymore no matter what I do the night before.

I never have to be out watching football past 10 ever.

On a Sunday where the Birds have an early game and I don't have a vested interest in later games, I can have my entire viewing obligations done by 1 PM and still have a productive or interesting afternoon.

It's the east-coast sports that aren't football that are/were a bit tougher due to my team's games starting while still actually at work.

But even that's been easier recently because I can just stream the shitty Sixer games while at work or watch later via online League Pass five-pack, Temple basketball the times when I remember they're playing I can listen to on the streaming internet radio, I won't even pretend to watch this old/bad Phillies team play baseball except to troll fans/mad-media members now that Chase Utley is worse than Ryan Howard yet getting a pass and the Flyers' franchise is officially dead to me until there owner is while I pretty much don't care about the sport otherwise.

So that pretty much leaves me with Western Conference NBA games in my primetime sweetspot or college football on Saturday and NFL on Sunday for my sports viewing outside special events (good both because I don't have to wait long after waking and that they're wrapped before it gets anywhere near late enough for me to be in bed).

The other way would probably feel weird to me now.

Plus the chances of shitty weather are far greater.

So this is pretty much the way I'll likely prefer riding it out from here.

instagram etc anyway so its easy. Just gotta avoid texts.

Although, its usually someone that you least expect it that will spoil it for you.

edit: Plus you get to fast forward the late game reviews...and when it approaches blow out status, i start fastforwarding free throws lol

There was a switch on the possession where Rose basically got a shot clock violation and then on this play where Butler got a bit fortunate with that bank, Tristan was matched up on him the entire possession

Cavs missing their best outside shooter next to Kyrie, still avoided the GUILE.

LeBron won't be as sloppy going forward.

only thing that gives me some pause was Cavs defense on some of those PnRs.

this was never going to be a sweep.

...when asked question about Cavs being short handed.

https://digife.com

Bulls understand this better than most teams.

But that's ok, I'm fully with the context that we just needed to get one game in cleveland.

Excellent shooting night though, it will come back down to earth a bit and cavs will win the next one. games 3 and 4 will be huge

Outside of when Dunleavy was going off in the 1Q, and the PNR with Rose and Gasol, it was ISO Rose and Butler. I'd like to see more movement.

Not that Love can stop Gasol at all, but he would at least make him work on the other side and give some muscle on the post.

Cavs should play better though, never thought JR Smith being on the court would be so important in a playoff series.

this exactly why y'all ain't winning this series. you have no aspirations beyond it. you just wanna talk shit about beating bron.

U mean Bulls fans outside of OKP? Because I don't see any such posts here...

All I'm reading here is Bulls fans dapping up our team for a good win on the Cavs home turf, some giving props to Kyrie's sick ass play, others pointing out that Bron didn't deliver enough (if Rose didn't come through in certain spots last night y'all would be saying worse shit...lol); and some gleefully trying to start a Civil War between Ky Ky STANS and Bron STANS....That's about it...

But this is great Strawman posting though...Cute....

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

When asked last week if this is a championship team, even with the recent rash of injuries, Butler told USA TODAY Sports, "Hell yeah, it's a championship team. We're going to win that (expletive).”

^^^Jimmy Buckets in November

And we gonna EARN it. That's all this team has been about. LMAO at "this our championship".

We wanna beat the Cavs and if it's the Wiz in the ECF there's LOTS of incentive to beat them as they knocked us out the playoffs last year and talked sh*t while doing it.

1-1 vs G-State (beat them at home too...rose dotted Klay's eye for the game winner, but they DO have the MVP)
1-1 vs Houston (Can't beat clips without CP3...doomed)
1-1 vs Clippers (CP3's hammy is an issue)
1-1 vs Memphis (Conley broken face)

^^^Not afraid of any of the remaining west teams and not one of them has been to the finals either. Only 2 teams have a player with Finals experience even (Dwight, Turkeyglue) and one won't make it out the 2nd round and the other barely plays. lol

We have a VERY good shot. But one game at a time.

1-0

:-D

Lebron demolished Jimmy buckets in the post for 2 possessions then went back to jacking jumpshots smh.

2 free throws?

Didn't even pickup a foul on Butler the whole game smh

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

And the strategy should be kinda the same. Try to slow Bron/Kyrie as much as possible but expect they are gonna get off. But contain all of the other players to whatever extent possible so that none of them make a significant difference. Shump almost won them the game last night. If we keep him at 12-14 points this is a double digit blowout.

I'll give Bron and Kyrie 30 as long as no one else gets more than 12. We have about 7 guys who can get us 20 (Jimmy, Rose, Pau, Niko, Brooks, and Dunny/Snell if hot) if needed so we don't have to depend on significant scoring from just 1-2 guys.

Even last night, we're up 6 late in the 4th, Rose goes iso, misses, Cavs TO, Rose goes iso again, misses, Cavs score, Jimmy says, "I got this." Gets a bucket...6pt lead with seconds left. Game over.

^^^I loved that he took the onus off Rose to close.

Allstar Jimmy Butler.

matter"

JR is kind of the opposite lol.

Shump needs to add another dimension to his game badly. No reason Joakim should be able to guard him. Too many scenarios when he was a knick that the other teams pf/c was guarding him and he couldn't do anything about it.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Shump is the dude that worries me the most. If he could do what he did last night, all series, I'd be a lil nervous.

He hasn't played that well in at least a month. Starting/extended time may have had something to do with it. With the Cavs going small with Bron at the PF, Shump's gonna start next to JR. That's when it'll get really interesting.

^^^This makes me think winning the first 2 games is VERY important.
