Yawn. Start the series down 2-1, win the next 3. Boom. Just like that the series is over. On to Atlanta or Washington. Matthew Dellavedova grabbed Chicago’s heart out of their chest, squeezed, threw it the ground, stepped on it, then spit on it. He finished with 19 points and had a 20 second stretch in the 2nd half where he hit a 3, stripped the ball, then hit another 3. It was Jordan-esque.

LeBron didn’t play particularly well and still almost had a triple double, Tristan had 13 points and 17 rebounds, our bench went 9-18 on three pointers, and the Cavs officially ended the Thibodeau era by beating the Bulls by 21.

We’re on to Atlanta or Washington.

Let’s look at the game tape

We had quite the scare when Kyrie went down after injuring his foot. Good thing the Cavs won, it’ll provide some much needed rest for Kyrie

Tristan Thompson: Man’s game. Nice spinning and-1 oop from Delly

Mirotic did his best WWE Clothesline impression. Little did he know this would be the turning point that ultimately ended the game and the Bulls season.

Honestly though, who is going to stop this?

HE WINKED AT SCOTTY! HE WINKED AT SCOTTY!

On to Atlanta

Couple quick thoughts:

– Delly highlights upon Delly highlights

– Matthew Dellavedova outplayed Derrick Rose in an elimination game. Just let that sink in.

– He’s also listed as the owner of the Chicago Bulls

– Has anyone given David Blatt an ounce of credit yet? It’s going to be interesting to see in the next couple of days if anyone acknowledges the rookie head coach

– Tristan Thompson is making himself a shit ton of money this playoffs and he’ll deserve every cent of it

– During this time in between the ECF, Kyrie Irving should hire someone to carry him around everywhere he goes like Ariana Grande does. I don’t want him putting any weight on those legs.

– I want to play the Wizards next series solely because they have more hateable players. There’s really nothing about the Hawks that makes you strongly dislike them

– If you would have told me before the season it’d be LeBron James, Tristan Thompson and Matthew Dellavedova on the podium after a series clinching win to move on to the Eastern Conference Finals… I would have spit in your face and then slapped you

– The average margin of victory in the Celtics series was 9.25 PPG. In this Bulls series the Cavs won their games by an average of 10.75 PPG. BUT THE BULLS ARE SO GOOD AND EVERYONE ON ESPN PICKED THEM TO MAKE THE FINALS.

– Has a team ever had the #1 pick in the draft one year and then made the NBA Finals the next? Someone look that up, would ya?

See you guys next Wednesday.

Cavs in 4.
