Ooops.

 

[Scoot26]

So matchups...for the first two games...

Gasol vs Mozgov
Noah vs Thompson
Dunleavy vs Shumpert
Butler vs LeBron
Rose vs Ivring

I would not be surprised to see Cleveland play alot of James at the 4 going with Mozgov-LeBron-Marion/Miller/Jones-Shump-Irving. Thibs will need to play Niko a lot more and probably use a combo of Noah/Gasol at C if he's going to play matchups.

1 day of rest between games except for game 7

 

[Axl Rose]

where is Hueheffna

 

[Probie2429]

Game 1 is the time to steal home court.

Game 1 is the time to steal home court.

we always seem to win game 1 against baby bron bron...hasn't done us much good yet :shrug:

Bulls in 6

Bulls need to open with a 3-1 series lead. Now is their chance. They need to win Game 1, and possibly Game 2. Take full advantage of Smith being out. He wrecked us last game and helps them spread the court.

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

If Love was playing, I'd have gone with Bulls in 6. I will say Bulls in 5. I honest to God believe they are good enough to sweep them.

Yes. I said sweep.

 

[Noshayah DaMuzikbox]

If the Bulls can be fired up like they were last night, ans aggressively get up into the Cavs from the jump, I don't see why we wouldn't see the Bulls win this Series in 5 or 6 games as well. They would be wise not to think the Cavs will be pushovers without Kevin Love either. No J.R. Smith for 2 games also gives the Bulls a 2 game handicap, as thyy have their entire squad healthy. It should be exciting. #GoBulls #SeeRed #KeepItGoing

The Gasol vs Mozgov match up might work the Bulls advantage. I think Pau is too quick and skilled for Mozgov to guard one on one.

Pau seems to fold like a beach chair when guys get aggressive with him and Mozgov certainly will

we need Rose to outplay Kyrie and Jimmy to just keep playing like he is...the rest of the team needs to stay aggressive and focused as they were tonight

hopefully Thibs is ready to make the right adjustments and in a timely fashion...like in-game not 3 games later...i noticed the jumbo didn't play last night and hopefully never will again

we'll see how it goes...im still skeptical of this team...seen enough where one great game doesn't change things....they haven't shown me they can stay consistent
