The Missed Call That Changed Everything for the Chicago Bulls
Remembering the missed David Blatt time out call in game 4 of the 2015 playoffs vs the Cavs and how this led to domino of changes that came thereafter

It seems the referee actually saw Blatt and decided to ignore the request for timeout.
I'm still mad over the free throw violation when Donovan Mitchell sent the game into OT then went on to score 71 points. If they get that call, Bulls win and Donovan only gets 55+ points.
Sad moments 😢…. We were the only team consistently able to fight back against LeBron even when he was with the Heat
More more more, and of course its LeBron who got a gift from the reefs again😢😢
Why did you have to bring up this painful memory?
It just wasn’t fair chance for Thibodeau. He really only got 2 years to prove himself. I don’t really think it was his fault DRose got hurt. Even if he had taken him out of the lineup in that game 1 against the Sixers. You cannot in the NBA without superstars in your team.
Def one of the low points in my bulls fans life, we called out this blatant missed call back then. This one is sad because this missed call they could have corrected and they refused to do so. Which makes you feel this was more cheating from the refs than a missed call.
Also I think the bulls would have had a better shot at beating the warriors than many think. Bulls have had some really good wins vs golden state because rose was a match up problem for curry. Also the bulls could beat the warriors up on the boards.
But I also feel garpax messed up shots to create a true title contender. They failed to land Carmelo Anthony, they broke up the bulls team that made it to the 2nd rd without rose trying to get Melo then failed to land him. I also feel they made a mistake not bringing nate Robinson back for cheap off our bench. Feel his scoring off our bench and just the few big playoff moments from him could have gotten us to the finals as well. We made our heavy pursuit Mike Dunleavy which turned out to mean much of nothing I'm hindsight smh
Evan Turner and Andre Iguodala were on a podcast how the nba is basically rigged during playoffs.
Just remembering that game makes my blood boil all over again. I swear I know for a fact we would have beat the hawks and I know we would have not been able to beat the warriors but damn that would have been dope to see rose in the finals. I know he would have went off against curry cause we all know curry can’t guard rose. But man just thinking about that game that we got robbed just pissed me off. I remember screaming at the top of lungs that was such a bad call.
This was the first Bulls game I ever went to I am haunted by it 💀😒😒
Yesh i remember this moment i was so mad that the NBA screwed us out of a finals because they wanted LeBron to win i never forgot about this. This and the double doink we're the most painful moments as a Chicago sports fan for me
More what ifs! Bruh, I groaned like a mf when I saw the title of this video. Little things really do change the course of leagues/franchises (Ex. Curry ankle injuries + cap explosion + Durant contract completing = once in a gen dynasty).
Another great video. Both your channels are 🔥. Bulls would have made the finals that year if the refs did their job properly.
Low key if we had kept our backup center from that team, things might have been different because him and Taj coming off the bench together was crazy remember that
The call that screwed the Bulls out if what i believe could've been a finals appearance………………
