Game 1 IGT: Chicago Bulls @ Cleveland Cavs (Series 0-0) 6:00PM CDT TNT

It probably would've been an And 1 if anyone besides Lebron took that hit. But I do agree that he can still drive when he wants to. The midrange game opens a lot for him. I don't mind him taking that shot all night if that's what's open.

Yep. Rose did exactly what he needed to, and playing pick and pop with Pau in the 3rd was excellent as well. That will open up so many more things once Cleveland adjusts to stop it.

Yup. Have Dunleavy on the wing and maybe another shooter in the corner and we could be looking at a lot of wide open 3s for a stretch.

Good complete game from the bulls (besides the second quarter). They never trailed and the game wasn't ever in doubt IMO.

I'm loving the optimism!

It's going to be interesting to see how Cleveland adjusts... They finished the game last night with Thompson-LeBron-Shump-Dellanedova-Irving.. Can't say that really worked out for them. Wouldn't be surprised to see Perkins get some action as things get more physical. I also wonder if when JR Smith is back if Dunleavy can bait him into throwing more elbows lol, thus more suspension.

There's a lot to expose on Cleveland, Thibs has to take advantage of that. Dictate it, not allow Cleveland to do as they please.

That lineup that Cleveland used is probably what made me think Snell on Kyrie. If they come out with that lineup again, Snell over Hinrich would be pretty good in that Rose could save his energy for offense by guarding Dellavedova while Snell bothers Kyrie with his length. It makes too much sense. Though I think game 3 on we'll see them closing with JR instead...but that doesn't take away from having Snell in the lineup.

Seeing as Dunleavy is apparently our dirty player, perhaps he can coax something out of JR...before being run over by Perk.

Knoxville doesn't understand/value spacing
