Series Thread: 2nd Round: Chicago Bulls vs Cleveland Cavaliers

[GenJac]

People still like living in the past. This is the 1st time that the Bulls actually have more talent than a LeBron led team. Wade and Bosh aren't here to bail him out. Gasol and Butler are all stars now, so Rose isn't alone as in years past. The Cavs fans talking on here are trying to live through the HEAT days and I've said from the beginning, THEY AREN'T THE HEAT!

no love, no jr, and no basketball for 8 days. not a must win game but a great opportunity for the bulls tonight

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Any performace of LeBron's will be remembered - for good or bad - more than any performance by Bosh... so I don't think that's saying much.

The Cavs defeating this Bulls teams in a series - especially given the Love and JR situation - absolutely would be a significant accomplishment. I mean I am expecting it. I, personally, would consider the season a serious disappointment if they lose this series... but that doesn't cheapen the accomplishment.

This series for the Cavs should be described as challenging.
It's not a significant accomplishment when you still have James, Kyrie and HC advantage.

Looking forward to this game.
I think whoever wins it wins the series.

LeBron going with his gut.

 

[podsox]

Bulls looking great. U can see the mismatches already. Cavs D is going to struggle

 

[purguy12]

This is the LBJ people talk negative about. He needs to take over when he sees his teammates struggling. He has took only 1 shot. Irving D is going to be an issue.

 

[trojanfan12]

21-7? Is this Bears vs. Browns? How many picks has Manziel thrown?

 

[purguy12]

They are going to have trouble with Gasol.

 

[purguy12]

foul on irving there. Its all good.

 

[purguy12]

Thibs needs to take Butler out when LBJ is out.

 

[podsox]

rose has to dish that to butler

 

[purguy12]

rose has to dish that to butler

I agree

 

[purguy12]

Great start for the Bulls. As a Bulls fan couldn't ask for better.

 

[podsox]

grrr. thibs giving hinrich snells minutes

 

[Shanemansj13]

Bulls cant miss and Cavs cant hit anything. Defense looks slow, cant rebound, and new guys in that havent played basically all season. If they are within single digits at half it will be a win. It looks bad early.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Thibs needs to take Butler out when LBJ is out.

Exactly.
Make James work, work, work, every minute he's on the court.

Nice run there by Miller. Wiggy says he's going to go off one game.
If he costs them 2 or 3 before he does, fine with me.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Dunleavy was on fire.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And Rose is playing well.

Where's Wiggy?
