Start Iman and have JR come off the bench.

Usually you wouldnt want to tinker with a starting lineup thats performed well.

But yea it would be good to start off with a good defender on Rose. Try and disrupt him before getting a rhythm. :ehh:

With who?

Shump, Thompson and Delladova? CLE has a weak bench, CHI is much deeper

Exactly! There's nothing wrong with Shumpert or Thompson, but Dellavedova will be a weak link once the Cavaliers have to play him against better backup PG's plus the lack of depth & quality of backup players is why I give Chicago or Atlanta the edge over Cleveland this year to make it or win the Eastern Conference Finals.

no you stick with the winning formula. jr is no slouch as a defender either. all he and kyrie has to do is force rose into the help. blatt has to mix his offense up though. k love cant just stand outside shooting 3s. if so, gasol and noah are gonna crash those boards.

see there is a flaw in this thinking. this ain't 2011 where the bulls only had 1 legit scorer. they now have 4 in rose/jimmy/pau/mirotic.

if you put shump on rose, then who is kyrie gonna guard???? butler??? :dahell:

jimmy would :eat: kyrie alive in the post.

Shumpert on Rose
LeBron on Jimmy
Kyrie on Dun/Snell

They match up really well with our backcourt.

Pau Gasoline Finna cook Loves ass, Bulls CAN win this series, but will they
Pau isn't cooking at the Bucks -

Pau hasn't stepped it up in the playoffs the last 4 years, he playoffs have been Larry Holmes status and he looks like hot garbage yet again.

Him and Noah, look like crap in the post to tbh. Noah still can't hit a freaking layup and would rather pass instead of throwing up a hook when he's right at the rim. Love is going to eat them alive

only way we win is if Rose and Mirotic come out blazing.


and our bench looks worse than the Cavs scoring wise (excl Mirotic) espeically with fukkin Hinrich back - Aaron Brooks should be getting a lot of tick by we know Hinrich is going to play over him.

Pau is also being double teamed the second he receives the ball in the post, dont group him with Noahs ineffectiveness

It will come down to our backcourt. Irving cant guard Rose. Rose when motivated can slow Irving. Same with Butler and Smith. Our frontcourt is the issue. We know they will hide love bum ass on Noah and Noah has trouble finding him on the perimeter. Pau struggles against guys his size and hes been a non factor against them during the season. Plus Mil has exposed a big flaw in our offense when Noah is out there. Thats why he should come off the bench with Brooks, Niko, Snell and the rest of our shooters so he can pass and do his unorthodox shyt. Our bench destroys theirs. They have no scoring outside James Jones. As long as we keep Tristan off the glass we will be fine. Even with all that, Cavs in 6. They still have LeBron. And i know they will put him on Rose and i dont know who can pick up the slack
