The Cavs vs Bulls Series

[David.]

That's a pretty questionable rationale.

Look at the Eastern standings in the background - they really hate us (and I love it)!

Fuck Chicago

Perfect!

If we bring the effort and concentration that we showed in the first half of the Pistons game, Chicago will be sucking our balls all the way to a clean sweep.

I don't like a matchup with the Bulls for these reasons:

1. They play physical and don't care about making hard fouls that potentially injure the opposing players.
   
2. When they have everything going, they are a hard team to beat
3. They talk too much and I'm wondering how the Cavs will respond to that

I'm not worried that the Cavs will lose the series, I think they win in 6 games. Number 1 is what worries me the most: LeBron/Kyrie and Love already have injury issues and this could worsen them. They could have that attitude of "If I'm going down, you're going with me"

Those Miami series vs the Bulls showed why I don't want to face them in the post season. It's not that we can't beat them, we most certainly can, and we'll probably finish them in 5 or 6 but those games are going to be ugly as fuck, grind out affairs, with some nasty games and a lot of chippiness. The Bulls know they can't beat us but they'll do everything in their power to make the games as ugly and physical as possible.

May 4th would be perfect. May 3rd is one day too early. Need game 3 on May 9th so my friend can make it

ABC has a double header on Tap. You better believe they would pick Bulls Cavs over Was/Tor vs ATL for the East slot. No chance it wont be the 4th

I never agreed with the hack-a-whoever strategy. If a guy shoots 50% from the line, it is the equivalent of shooting 50% from the field. On top of that you get guys to add fouls to their totals.

Sorry but the Bulls are dumb F'n animals. They are literally too stupid to comprehend how to beat us in a 7 game series without cheap shotting us.

But when you send a 60% ugly shooter like noah to the line, you're messing with his mind and confidence and that has an immediate impact on his percentage in a way that it usually drops even more with this strategy, and we can always use guys from the 3rd lineup for that...
