If Love is out for a while and JR is suspended, then this is the Bulls best shot to beat cleveland

That was my thought when I read the doctors report.

Love almost surely out for round 2. stop the panic!!

Lets get through these Bucks. We are a tough minded Bulls teams. Game 7 doesn't faze us, it just means Rose will penetrate when necessary. I think he is just using his body wisely, and doing no more than he has to. We should see the early series Rose return and ice these fools either in 6 or 7. I like our chances.

As for Love, I think the Cavs are deep enough it doesn't matter given Lebron's ability to play the 4. But he doesn't like to bang with guys like Gibson. It also will clog their ball movement and interior, allowing us to utilize our length (Snell, Mitotic, Dunleavy, Butler) on the perimeter against their other shooters.

Thompson is a better offensive glass rebounder than Love, but he isn't an immovable object on defense where Love dominates the glass. We can create chaos. The East is ours for the taking, although the Hawks can spread us out and make it hard for us to keep up.

As much as I despise the Wizards, I would almost rather slug it out with them and have home court than deal with the spread offense and sneaky rebounding (Milsap, Horford, Ancic) of the Hawks. Plus the Korver factor on a court and hoop he knows well and has spent countless hours practicing on.

And Teague gave Rose issues when Rose was healthy and young due to incredible speed. They have moved in opposite directions.


Please stop the Panic. The Bulls 2015 playoff journey is not written yet, far from over. We got this.

Second time a Brad Stevens coached team has (potentially) fucked up getting a ring for Kyrie
