Game Thread: Bulls vs Cavs Game Day Thread: 8pm TNT

Mirotic was AWFUL in the series against the Cavs...i mean- guy looked lost- and committed some really dumb fouls....Ill take him on the court anyday over a healthy Noah being a Cavs fan.

He was but he was shot. Same with Brooks. Both said that was the most Mins they played in a season. We over used those 2. I think this year Mirotic is now use to an NBA schedule.

Go Cleveland! So ready for some basketball!

That's okay. Neither is Kyrie.

They'll be fine, they got Love and lots of it.

all you need is (Kevin) Love!

I guess the Bulls are favored bc they are at home and Kyrie is out. But DRose is seeing double and Dunleavy is out. Mirotic is now in the starting lineup, not sure how he can matchup against one of the bigs defensively.

I took:

Cavs +4.5
Warriors -10

 

[Shanemansj13]

Rose
Butler
Snell
Mirotic
Gasol

Mo
Smith/Shump
Lebron
Love
Moz

I'm guessing that's the Cavs.

Shump is out till late December with the wrist surgery.

Bulls are favored because they are at home- and the Cavs preseason has been crazy between Thompson, LeBron sitting out more than half the preseason, Love coming back from surgery, Kyrie and Shump still out------- not a huge fan of the Cavs back court defense of Mo and Jr....(KI is by no means great at defense but id take him over MO and Shump is an impact defender)...

No worries your team will do fine....they've got Dellvedova to fill in!

Hey Dova is the man! One of my favorite players.

Damn, forgot about that. JR then.

I agree, only problem Noah is our only other Center. If we traded him we would have to get a center back.

Yeah, that's true.

Pau is no spring chicken. So, that would be risky.

I love Taj's grit.

But, you don't want him having to play heavy minutes at the 5 for a full Season.

He had a bad series.

He is 24 and starting in the NBA for the first time.

The Bulls were an established team last Season with a roster full of past and current All stars. So, its not surprising that he wasn't super aggressive.

He will have the training wheels off this Season.

I think the Bulls win tonight. Lebron is still nursing that back injury and we all know those are serious and debilitating.

If Lebron can't drive to the hoop or stand that contact he normally goes through, Bulls should win this easily. If I'm a Cavs fan, I'd definitely be worried about him camping out on the perimeter tonight.

[purguy12]
