Bulls can potentially give the Cavs problems

[UpAndComing]

Saw the game yesterday. Bulls are a pretty good team . I saw they exposed some holes in the Cavs team. This is an Eastern Conference preview IMO


- Bulls have a huge frontline that the Cavs were having problems with. Robin Lopez, Mirotic, and Gibson were pushing the Cavs around with rebounds and scoring with ease in the paint. Love, Frye and Thompson were getting abused all night

- Their frontline prevents Cavs from playing small ball, which is where they are the best at. Lebron can't play the 5 or even the 4 against the Bulls


- Jimmy Butler can defend Lebron pretty well

- Wade is playing lights out, which would cancel out JR Smith's effectiveness

- The only advantage they have is the 3 (Lebron) and the 1 (Irving)

- Bulls have three, count em THREE playmakers in the starting line up. Rondo, Butler, and Wade. Besides Lebron, there isn't much playmaking the Cavs had. And we all know Kyrie ain't gonna pass



With all that being said, I still think the Cavs would still win the series in 7... barely. But the Cavs can't be playing around

Similar to the OKC vs Warriors last year. OKC had Warriors number, until they goofed up the series
But Wade isn't Durant though

In any other season this bulls team would be a title contender.

But in all honesty there is NO TEAM in the EAST that has a chance of beating the cavs.

Just like there is NO TEAM in the West that has a chance of beating the Spurs or Clippers in a playoff series.

Cavs would sweep the bulls, but the bulls are a good team.

If the Bulls were in the Western Conference, they would have a better chance of making it to the finals.

I don't think the Bulls are better than the Raptors

 

[Gangstar8]

Knicks is better than bulls

 

[QuintessentialBM]

Wade is too old to effectively guard Irving over a seven game series.

They are better, but they wouldn't beat the bulls in the playoffs series. Bulls just have smarter players.

Kind of like how last season OKC was CLEARLY a better team than the Golden State, but OKC at the core had low iq players in both Durant and Westbrook, which enabled Golden State to beat them.

they really dont pose any issues the cavs cant solves strictly off talent.
the bulls simply dont shoot the 3 well enough to compete in a 7 game series
small-big lineup aside
they also dont have a lebron.
cavs are in a rut right now...but when the playoffs come...the only real challenge the cavs will face will be in the finals...barring injury.
they would wash the bulls in 5.

They don't guard each other

How was OKC a clearly better team than Golden State last year

Golden State had the best regular season team ever

Hands down WOAT this year. Like a 2016 Luol Dang.

The @bulls have certainly silenced many skeptics with their solid record 18 games into the regular season!

You are a casual. Golden State had one of the most overrated season ever and had MANY severe flaws, which they STILL never fixed.

Andre Iguodala himself, said they new OKC was CLEARLY the better team.

He said in the interview with the Breakfast club. He said not only was OKC the best team, but the only reason why they won is because they had to literally play perfect, and hope OKC just made mistakes. Since both westbrook and more so Durant are low iq players, they did exactly that and allowed Golden State to come back from 3-1 to beat them.

Who besides casuals would be skeptical about a team with Dwayne Wade, rondo, AND jimmy butler being good.

They have a COMPLETE and solid roster.

...NO TEAM in the West that has a chance of beating the Spurs or Clippers...

....but...but...neither of those teams even made the Conference Finals last year...or the year before that????

Edit: I didn't see who I was replying to...disregard!

 

[SadimirPutin]

if those teams play a 7 game series expect that shyt to go very differently
