Bulls vs Cavs

[JimmyBulls]

Bulls with their second quality win of the season! They did it with very good defense and timely offense.

When was the last time the Bulls won in Cleveland? It's been a few years. 06-07?

That wasn't a foul since it was clear that LeBron initiated all the contact, but I'm in shock that he didn't get the superstar treatment with a bailout foul call.

Nice win. I think you can say it´s a good season start when you only look at the record and think about whom we already played against.

is noah slowly becoming the new noci? the hustle guy who everyone loves?

I cannot believe we got that no call. Not a pretty win, but I'll take it.

Hell yes. I honestly expected the Bulls to be 1-4 at this point and they're 3-2. Not bad while playing 4 playoff teams, three of which are the tops teams in the NBA.

They need to play well and get this win Saturday at home.

Brad Miller was simply awesome tonight. His performance in the 3rd quarter was unbelievable. His D on Shaq was the difference. Deng was awesome again too.

Deng did very well on Lebron, as well as I have ever seen him do. The Bulls did a very good job defensively also. They crowded the lane well and shut down options Lebron had off the dribble. He was reduced to a playmaker. They also got back on fastbreaks so that they didn't get killed. Miller isn't scared of anybody...that type of attitude permeates over time from teammate to teammate. This year they will win with defense and rebounding....I can tell that Rose is hampered quite a bit too. I think this win gives the Bulls more confidence than any win this season...and I have a hard time believing that they win this game if they lose that Milwaukee game.

Who coaches the defense? Is it Pete Myers?

 

[Shakes]

Glad to see that both Salmons and Hinrich had passable shooting nights, hopefully they're turning their slumps around. If we can get decent offense out of those two and maintain our excellent defense we currently have then 50 wins isn't out of reach.

Miller was pretty medicore. Noah was the one who shut down Shaq the whole night while he was in and set the tone in first quarter by forcing 3 t.o.

Was there a bigger regular season road win over the course of the last 2 years? I think this is very momentous...I am cautiously optimistic...

 

[Riker]

Nice win.

Overrated Cavs finally deflating to their realistic proportions.

 

[pinkizdead]

the cavs are way worse on defense this year. even with the scrubs they had last year, they're not as good as they were last year. they need to change something. i think shaq should come off the bench. he can get all the touches in the world as a 6th man. tell him he's the new ginobli in order to sooth his ego.

 

[kukoc4ever]

Are the Cavs worse than expectations?
Are the Bulls better than expectations?
Are the Cavs at elite team anymore at this point? They have already matched their loss total at home from last year.

Who cares! Take the win and keep moving.



Does Mike Brown get fired b/c of this one?

Man, the SHAQ move is looking baaaaad.

 

[Shakes]

I don't think the Cavs need to be too worried, they have time to get things together. Any team with LeBron is going to be dangerous, and Shaq is an expiring contract that they can use at the deadline if they're still not clicking by then.

The problem for them is that Z is an expiring of a more convenient size, but they can they trade him without pissing LeBron off?

The last time the Bulls won in Cleveland was in the 07-08 season
