bballbreakdown is a coward. He asked me to show him results of the Rockets teams that beat the crap out of the Bulls in the first three-peat. I showed him and he hasn't responded. COWARD!

[bballbreakdown]

@kehwa I'm such a coward that I ran to a different country for the past week so I wouldn't have to respond to your comment.

I'll look at the link and see what you're trying to say about the Rockets owning the Bulls. But having had to sit through the awful basketball played during those 2 years when the Rockets won it all, there is no doubt those Bulls teams would've won those 2 as well...

Thank God refs can review calls these days... travel on the up and under and a 5 point swing from two bad 24 second calls?

[bballbreakdown]

@djflexure Yes - you are right. Would've been interesting to see a Game 7

[Fulllatears]

Is it just me, or did that "perfect" up and under consist of a Jordan travel?

[jp3813]

Bad calls happen all the time against all teams. Which is why the more clutch team is more likely to win.

So fascinating to see a coach break down what NBA players did past, present, and future. It's like a 'How to execute simple basketball plays'

@bballbreakdown Hey Coach, i was watching this game a couple of days ago and i took note of how you said it was a 5 point difference because of that shot by Harper and the 3 that didn't count for Eisley. Just wanted to say that i think it is only a 2 point deference because the Bulls got called for 4 illegal defense and the Jazz made all 3 free throws. I know im kinda late but just wanted to point that out.

[unioncity]

That was a 9 pt swing due to bad calls by the refs. And those were very obvious calls too.

@elitaren 3 rings :)

[Jokerz199]

based on what Coach Nick said, jazz could have won the game if that 3 pointer counted instead of a 24 second violation

[TheLucifer69]

@Vergecurtis no. that pivot move i do that all the time just not that perfect

[mylesusa]

fucking bavetta, he should be fired, he's been known for throwing games, like the lakers-kings series in '02, why doesn't david stern do someth...oh...that's right...

[Vergecurtis]

MJ traveld so bad around 6 minutes

[natemup]

@champion909 I'd rather him jack up shots than any other player on the team. Which is not me saying they're good shots, but that our team sucks and needs to sign Gilbert Arenas yesterday.
