Round 1 Game 3 | Cavs vs. Bulls | April 22, 2010 | 7:00 EST TNT

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I think they need to post Jamison more. They guy is a very skilled post player, but a vast majority of the plays set up for him are either jump shots or shots off of cuts.

I also think that Mo Williams needs to be more assertive. I swear his skill set seems tumble when April rolls around.
 
Perhaps the greatest gif I've ever seen.

I feel so bad for him...James is my dude. I played cards with him during his few years at Wake. He's a really good guy. Little known fact - he's a black belt. He's way more athletic than people give him credit for. IIRC he played decent defense on LeBron in one of the games during the regular season.

That being said, this gif is easily the best gif I've ever seen. Ever.

Epic.

Agreed with everything you said. I was screaming for us to trade up to take James Johnson in the draft. He will go down as one of the 8 best players in the draft (where I though he would go). And he played LeBron about as well as I've seen anyone play Lebron in the regular season.

Unfortunately for him, that was the regular season. He got dunked on by playoff "I don't give a fuck" LeBron.
 
Shaq is starting and on the bench tomorrow? NICE! JK JK....we need to limit their paint scoring and I would say watch out for Kirk Heinrich....been pretty quiet the past few games, look for a big game from him tonight
 
I think the Bulls-- specifically Hinrich- come out guns a blazin and go up about 10-12 by the half. Cavs either recover, stay close and lose on a last second shot or recover, stay close and win on a last second shot.

I think this one goes down to the wire.




LETS









GO

I think Shaq goes off for 20+ and we win by 12+ with leading by double digits most of the way.

The Bulls will try to being the intensity..Cav have to come out aggressive and discourage them early...
Control the paint..plant Lebron at the top of the key..run their offense and get Mo and company involved early..and lets get JJ some minutes..
 
The defense is going to try to trap Lebron alot more, they will throw far more double and even triple teams to get him to move the ball around. That being said, Mo Gotti is going to have a big game, 29 points 7 assists.

If that's the case, I'd like to see more JJ. He's great at taking advantage of when teams leave him to double LeBron. A combo of him and AV would be deadly if a team is setting up to stop LeBron at all costs. The Cavs can run a pick and roll with LeBron and AV, and have JJ run in unguarded when teams load up to stop LeBron and AV. It's a pick your poison thing, and JJ is fast enough to score without teams having a chance to get back to him (he's also more likely to get open since teams are willing to "let him get his", the Cavs just need to make sure that JJ is getting his with a lot of uncontested dunks).
 
I'm not sure that I agree about James Johnson playing defense well against Lebron. I thought he had the right idea at times but he seemed as confused as any rookie would be trying to guard a freak like Lebron. He did the right thing and played him physical but he was guarding him way too close on the perimeter and wasn't bodying him up at the right times. Lebron will exploit that if you try to get physical and play him too close but don't have a proper strategy.
 
I would expect a lot of dosage of Shaq in Game 3 to try to establish the inside game more and get Noah in foul trouble. Hopefully, the shots from downtown will be falling like Game 2, not like how it was in Game 1.

I won't be surprised if the Bulls take a game in either Game 3 or Game 4. It won't hurt to have an extra game to get some chemistry going before facing Celtics/Heat.
 
all i know is if the cavs lose i wouldnt want to play them again on sunday............. Though i expect a cavs win in game 3.

Missed last game thread.....was on vacation.;) Noah gets his wish and won't be coming back to Cleveland. All I won't to see is for LBJ to dunk so hard on Noah that his teeth straighten. Maybe then he won't be so angry....
