2015 Playoffs: (3) Chicago vs. (6) Milwaukee

[Andrew]

And 120-66, the final margin. Bulls weren't leaving anything to chance this time around.

120-66? Damn!

[bowdown]

Punk move by The Greek Freak on MDJ. There's "Playoff basketball", and there's dirty play. That was dirty play.

Dunleavy isn't clean himself. Just because he looks like a good ol boy doesn't mean he is an upstanding guy.

He actually instigated it and been stealth popping some Bucks players

The 2 days rest indeed gave them a breather for this series (they're lively specifically Gasol)... That hot start is what they badly needed and I'm glad that they held the lead, unlike most of the time in this series, and keep on attacking rather than being complacent... I bet a lot of Bulls fans are cursing Thibs when he still have the starters on the floor (same goes when both Noah and Gibson are still playing in the 4th) with just 2 minutes left in the 3rd...

Good stuff. Bucks were a tough opponent. Anti climatic ending to a hard fought series to say the least. It is strange how the light went on for the Bulls finally. now it's time to put them into rear view and bring on the cavs!

No Love can mean more minutes at pf for l James and none of the Bulls pf can matchup with him. Tristan Thompson torched them on the boards in their reg season meetings.

Don't think MJD facial shot on mcw was suspension worthy. What u guys think??

[Moz]

He might if the committee decides to look further into it... The replay shows he either shoves or punched MCW's face...

[NovU]

Dunleavy isn't clean himself.

I have to agree. Whether his intentions in this game was pure or not, looks like MCW was thrown to the ground in early game by Dunleavy. And Greek Freak clearly had reasons to be upset with him. Retaliation might have come in stupid form but hard to say it was entirely unwarranted.




And what was with Jimmy Butler trying to block during timeout. Goaltending is thing of KG but block attempts on dead plays? LoL, I don't blame Mayo for confronting him.

I don't think so.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I'm not saying Dunleavy didn't get a few cheap shots in himself, but I would say Giannis' NFL-style takedown was still unwarranted. There's giving your own back, and then there's losing your cool and doing something reckless. Charging in and blindsiding him like that was reckless, and a tad cowardly, to be honest.

And dumb... don't forget dumb...

[Andrew]

It was. Things were getting chippy, Dunleavy was doing stuff that I can't condone either, but you've got to keep a cooler head than that.

[Mandich]

Bulls showed that they were the big boys in this series. Amazing win. It's going to be an interesting series vs CLE

[iamSamke]

Wow, game 5 was got me like

[I Hate Mondays]

I hope they realise they have to play the first two games @ Cleveland like they did in G6. JR Smith is not the centerpiece, but he is an important piece to the puzzle. Even if the Bulls take the first two games, it is still risky. I can't wait to see some angry Bulls again.

[air gordon]

Conspiracy is bucks had to take a fall in order for the Bulls-cavs to start after the weekend LOL

Giannis move was done in poor taste. At least make it less obvious. He will learn. Mjd barely drives so maybe Giannis saw it as his only opportunity to get him. No one was hurt so I hope the nba takes into consideration if they micromanage this incident

I would be surprised if Mjd gets the suspension. I think the next series the refs will be quick to issue the techs and flagrants considering the history between Noah and l James. Nazr and Hinrich are due for at least one tackle this series

Chicago cheated to win game 6 by 54. I'm going to report that right to the NBA! Chicago doesn't deserve the Conference Semifinals as they FLAT-OUT CHEATED! Milwaukee deserves the Conference Semifinals as they play fair.

[Andrew]

Alrighty then.

Good for you.

Dunleavy took multiple cheap shots at MCW's throat/neck

[NovU]

It's kinda playoffs basketball. What's really dirty is ELBOWing (remember Artest on Harden? Pittman nearly killed Lance Stephenson. Then there's young Kobe ppl's elbow) and throwing a hard FIST (JR Smith recently).

(1) Wade bulldozed Collison couple years back. Collison took it like a man. (2) Laimbeer/Rodman nearly murdered Pippen. (3) Barkley gave a great shove to Olajuwon even though the game/season was over. (4) Karl Malone elbowed a lot. Now that's fucking dirty.



Dunleavy and Giannis dirty? Not by my standard. NBA's become soft. So have fans. Neither a good tackle aimed with precision nor a couple annoying arm swatting aren't going to kill anyone. There is no point in arguing whose deed was worse, it's like playing meeny miny moe. Dunleavy was being annoying biatch and reactionary action wasn't surprising given emotions flying high in this physical series. I don't find this series particularly dirty, it's probably on par in terms of playoffs basketball with emotions and physicality.

Good playoff basketball.

[Andrew]

Still crossed a fine line in my view, but what's done is done.
