The Cavs vs Bulls Series

[Ohio]

The Bulls are nothing more than a media-hyped monster driven to make people believe the Cavs won't cruise to The Finals.

There, I said it. Only took a few drinks.

 

[godfather]

I don't think we're going to cruise to the finals. This is the NBA people, we're going to be challenged, and there are going to be road blocks. I am confident we can win it all, but is it going to be easy? Hell no, it never is.

It's going to get ugly and tough. But if you can't stand the heat in the kitchen, then get out.

I know it's going to be tough and I like it. It'd be boring if it wasn't.

I've already got the car picked out that I'm flipping and setting on fire when we win.

Where the fuck are you?

Hopefully not dead from shock, that it's finally happening. It's been a long time awaiting.

I have to be cautiously optimistic, it's in my Cleveland nature.

Believe sir. For once, we finally have one of the most dominant rosters in the league. It's balanced, has very few weaknesses, and ridiculous star power. You have the best player in the game in his prime, the best ball handler, finisher off the glass in the NBA, and the beginning of a fast break in Kevin Love. We've got role players that are excelling in their roles in Moz, JR, Delly, Shump, Tristan. I don't know what more you can ask for from a team. This same team next year might have a real shot at 72 wins. It's that scary good. Hell Lebron + shit got us 66. LBJ is going to have a hard time catching up to 6 rings, but he could probably pull off a 73 win team that wins a championship.

The Bullshit have a cute team. Their fans are cute too. Can't wait to smash their faces in and piss on them in the playoffs.

 

[Pioneer10]

Meh. What are they going to do when we put Shumpert on Butler and Lebron on Rose? Prey that Gasol saves their offense? The Bulls didn't have an answer for the Lebron on Rose maneuver against Miami and we have good defenders to throw at their current solutions

 

[melecoaze]

As long as James Jones doesn't play 30 minutes we'll be ok.

May not even have to use LeBron on Rose... Shump might be able to handle him but it's good to know we have that option.

I don't see Jimmy Butler as someone we need to gameplan around. He could be averaging 40ppg and I'd still be unconcerned. He started out hot, shooting WAY above his normal percentages and has been regressing to the mean for the last few months. I'd rather LeBron or JR cover him, even Marion or Delly could handle him. He shot 6/16 in the one game he's played us this year and the only reason he hit 20 is because he lived at the FT line. He's not going to be driving on Moz and Perk and getting those foul calls in the playoffs.

As for Pau, that option is EXACTLY why the Perk addition is excellent for certain matchups. Perk has beat Pau up several times in the past. Pau is soft. Perk gets in his head and intimidates him. Examples A and B(I love Example A, lol):



Oh, and there's this... Example C

SLAM Online: Pau Gasol Wants Kendrick Perkins to Quiet Down

In an interview with ESPN The Magazine after the trade, Perkins said the Lakers were “yesterday’s news” and added, “I don’t like Pau Gasol or Phil Jackson. Phil is arrogant. Pau is soft. Kobe [Bryant] tries to bring out his toughness, but he’s still soft.”

Pau Gasol says “certain players talk too much from my perspective.”

After an extended practice Saturday, Gasol smiled and shook his head when he was relayed Perkins’ remarks.

“Certain players talk too much from my perspective,” he said. “They should worry about their own stuff.”

BTW, the article was in a build up to an OKC vs. LAL matchup that Sunday. The result? The Thunder won 120-106. Yes, Pau put up 26 but was a -10 +/-. Perk who matched him nearly minute for minute was a +10.

Slow down....I love the optimism but let's focus on the 2014-2015 season first.

Dear Bulls, Know your role and be the bitch!

[All4One1ForAll]

I don't know what I got myself into guys, but we HAVE to win against the Warriors this week!! Thursday can't come soon enough! Conversation between me (yoyoboy) and another guy on the Bulls board in their game thread for tomorrow against the Bucks...

Soooo, if you guys lose this game we jump ahead of you in the standings.

No pressure…

You should be worrying about the ass kicking coming Thursday.

Bruh I'm just playing with you. But I think we actually have a good chance against GS. Lebron didn't play last time and we were in it until the last half quarter even though it was at Golden State.

Ur still losing Thursday and that's the truth buddy

I'll remember this after Thursday's game.

You will be like most of your frontrunning elk. Only show up if you win. Be here if you lose. Prove me wrong

I will, but I don't know what you're talking about. I don't wanna start a pointless argument, but Cleveland has some of the most passionate sports fans in basketball (and football). For a team that had the worst 4 year record in the entire league after Lebron left (97-197), 3rd in attendance, 19th, 22nd, and 16th isn't too bad for a small market like Cleveland. We haven't won a championship in over 50 years and we're still here, right? Oh well, see you on Thursday, bud.

P.S. I only talked to him like a bitch because I can't afford to get banned a third time...

WOW!!! WHAT THE!?!?

 

[Plaxicofan7]

WOW. Rose cannot catch a break, huh? That is terrible news for him and the Bulls.
