well the Heat lost those series because they didn't play up to par and the other team was scorching hot shooting the ball
if Kyrie-Bron-Love get to clicking it'll be tough to handle them even if our bench is better
i think we have a shot aswell...but wouldn't consider us not favorites just because we have a deeper roster
Championship teams typically have line-ups with lots of two-way players. Kyrie and Love are well below average defensive players. What made the Heat perennial contenders was that all 3 of their core guys could play above average (and, often, well above average) on both ends of the floor.
Bulls have a lot to prove. But so does Cleveland.
In terms of Bulls-vs-Cavs starting line-ups this season, and nothing else:
Rose vs. Irving - Rose
Waiters vs. Butler - close
James vs. Dunleavy - James in domination
Gasol vs. Love - close (one is a two-way player, with experience, and the other is not)
Noah vs. Varejao - Noah
It's not all that one-sided.
