Bulls Beatdown

[ChiTownCliff]

Okay, so I am a pretty unbiased Bulls fan, but it was nice to see the Bulls finish off the Bucks and with force. What a crazy game. 4 points away from a playoff record for point margin. I understand the Bulls should have played hard/better in game 4 and this would have not been an issue. Secondly, I truly feel the Bulls will struggle against the Cavs. I had the Cavs in 6 before Smith was suspended for 2 games and Love went out. I now see it as a draw. The Bulls are just too damned inconsistent for me. If the Bulls from tonight show up they will crush the Cavs, but likely they will not...

My main point of interest with tonight's game against the Bucks is not the point margin, but rather the fact that the Buck's highest scorer only put up 8 points? Is that a playoff record? I guess I will have to look it up, but it is amazing to think that the high scorer in any game would have only 8 points.

Anyways, looking forward to a nice 2nd round matchup!

I agree with you. It all depends what Bulls team shows up. IF both teams play their A game I give the edge to the Bulls but the problem is we have no clue what team will show up. It should be a fun match up. I can't wait for Monday.

Looks like that is a record. NBA.com lists 11 teams tide for 1st for having the fewest players scoring 10 or more points during a game at 1 player. The Bucks had zero players score 10 points, so I assume they not hold the record all by themselves.

It is a record. Just saw it on Inside the NBA. First time a team did not have a double digit scorer in playoffs history.

Good to see the Bulls get out their 1 ass-whooping for the playoffs so they can get back to their underperforming ways.

Never thought I would see the day where I cheered for the Bulls. Yet here we are. It's going to be tough taking on the Bulls without Kevin Love for the series, and JR Smith for 2 games.

Hell of a pick by the Bucks D.

Great game for the Bulls, let's see how they do vs. a weakened Cleveland team (No Love and Smith's gone for 2 games)

That was a hell of a beatdown and a lot of fun to watch, but I do not think the Bulls can expect to shoot as well as they did in the first half again. If they are going to take out Cleveland, and they certainly have a chance now, they are going to have to stiffen their defense and take better care of the ball. It is that simple.

I am really hoping the Bulls are the ones that earn the honor of getting stomped by the Warriors in the Finals.

Nice form on that tackle, but he needed to wrap his arms. If he learns that, he may may have a nice career in the NFL.

We'll see how motivated the Bulls are playing Cleveland as it relates to their defense. They're not as strong of a defensive team as previous years. But I would have to imagine that the Bulls are looking to take Lebron out of the playoffs with added motivation considering Lebron's done that to them for the last several years now.
