Game 42 1/19/15: Chicago @ Cleveland

Got the starters wrong buddy. Rose, Hinrich, Butler, Gibson, Gasol are the starters. If the Cavs don't pick and roll/pop the Bulls to death then it would further indict Blatt's coaching. Noah is the key to the Bulls D and since he hasn't been healthy this entire season the D has suffered.

Also forgot Aaron Brooks which is probably our best bench scorer at the moment. McBuckets is good to go but don't know if Thibs will play him.

What's the over/under for mood swings in this thread? I'm going to say under 12.

We have problems getting Love to the elbow the way it is, but that is where Milsap and Horford destroyed Pau. Be a good time to get Love back in his comfort zone.

Cut me some slack..when I threw this together at 7:30 am...I had just gotten home from work. I'm atleast dedicated enough to do my threads when it's my time. Also, blame yahoo sports for the "wrong starters", buddy.

Noah and Dunleavy are acclaimed Cavalier killers. Big help that they're out tonight.

I think we have a solid chance.

I'm still anticipating Lindsey Hunter coming out with 45 on the back and torching us somehow.

Taj Gibson is the guy on the Bulls who is a problem IMO. He can be tough on the low block - Love will have to bring his game tonight.

With LBJ healthy again we should have a good shot at this one. Would be big to close the gap in the standings and also from a psychological standpoint to have beaten them twice already.

Rally towels will be given out to everyone who attends the game tonight.

I think this means victory is assured, yes?

Pretty sure they're gonna be going at Love like any team thus far. We have to get them back by running Irving and Love/Moz PNRs straight at Gasol.

To add; it's almost certain Gibson will draw the Love assignment, so if we could run some action to cause a switch that moves Gasol to Love then run 1/4 pnrs, Love and Irving could feast.

Hey gang. I'm new around these parts, been reading the forum forever but this is the first time I'll be taking part in a GDT.

Anyway, to the point - CHI missing Noah and Dunleavy is pretty big for us. Because Noah and Gasol would terrorize our bigs in the paint.
If Pau plays C, Mozgov can humiliate him, and we should use that opion a lot. If Love is 100% and we use both of them well, I think it is an important key for us. That of course if Rose doesn't explode on Ki and score 50 points on his head.

 

[melecoaze]

So Urban talked to the team huh? Guess we win this one by 22.

 

[Soar]

Dunleavy usually scores about 50 points when he plays the Cavs.

So we might have a shot here.

Both teams are struggling quite a bit right now.

A win would go a long way to getting either team back on track.

Expecting it to be close.

I went and saw my doctor. Told him I am a Cavs fan and without another word he prescribed Prozac.

So, I'm kind of good to go. Just chillin.'
