bulls vs cavs early thoughts /discussion

[Dayco23]

Cavs in 5.

I think the offense is going to be too much for the Bulls to handle. Love's spacing will open up lanes to the basket and the Lebron/Kyrie drive and kick game has been on point.

Rose gives Kyrie problems but lets not act like Kyrie won't make him work too. Cavs can go big or small to match the Bulls depending on whether its Gibson or Mirotic at the 4.

There's a lot of variables to discuss... if Chicago is gonna win they have to rough the Cavs up and win the rebounding battle consistently.

I think we will see alot of Iman Shumpert on Rose in this series.

Who goes to the bench then? JR? Love? Mosgov?

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

These dudes really on that lack of depth garbage... Playoff rosters go 8 deep. Depth is overrated.

 

[Dayco23]

poor iman

historically he has done really well on him When he was with the Knicks he used to completely shut him down

Who goes to the bench then? JR? Love? Mosgov?

Not sure. I would guess JR, but hes been really good defensively as well.

JR goes to the bench. Blatt uses JR and Shump as he sees fit. Its one of the rotations he seems to have the timing down perfect.

Yea Blatt uses him alot to defend the best perimeter player.

He completely took Isaiah Thomas out of the game yesterday. thomas was a non factor. although he goes left every time so it wasnt to hard to figure him out

Cavs cant pull away from a team(Celtics) that has Nobody near Rose/Noah/Gasol/Buttler talent level. Not the same playing vs Luigi Datome, Jonas Jerebko, tyler Zeller and to top it off, the go to guy is Evan Turner.


Bulls in 6 or 7.

Emergence of D. Rose makes this interesting.....but I'll go with the Cavs.

I actually think Kevin Love is the X factor

The Chicago bigs have had struggles with shooting bigs in the past.

I also think the Cavs will kill them with the offensive rebounding.

Bulls in 6

idk who would win it but it will be the most interesting playoff series this year.... by far

You'd be surprised how far quality coaching and scrappiness can go in the playoffs.
The celts Would give any team a go.

Has nothing to do with the fact that the Cavs will be too much for the Bulls.

Right because 3 wins and a likely sweep isn't convincing enough.
