Round 2 Game 1 | Cavs vs. Bulls | May 4, 2015 | 7:00 PM ET

We're definitely going to see whether Blatt can coach or not the rest of the way.

Mike Brown would have picked a starting 5 and rotation in this situation and stuck with it regardless of its effectiveness or any counters the opposing team made.

I'm hoping that Blatt will realize when shit doesn't work and try something different, as I could see him trying to ride JJ as his replacement for Love and we saw throughout the season that JJ has nights where he's on fire and others where it's not happening. Hopefully if the bad JJ shows up he throws in Miller to see if he can get hot, or just goes small and defensive with Marion.

I am going to love how the media reacts to just how much Irving outplays Rose. I am sorry, at this point, Irving is the better player.

 

[Cayman13]

I think we're going to win solely on this game thread that theSTEREO created. Amazing, love it.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I think Pau Gasol constitute 100% of the llama look-a likes on either roster.

 

[Cayman13]

We need this day to get over with so it's gametime. I've got zero interest in anything work-related.

My gf is coming over after I didn't see her for several days. I love her with all my heart but I can't concentrate on SHIT right now and will be anxiuous throughout the whole evening

You'd better reschedule - lol.

Nah it's ok. I warned her ahead of time that during the playoffs I will be a different man

I think Pau Gasol constitute 100% of the llama look-a likes on either roster.

Pau Gasol is a Howard Stern look-alike. Stern looks less llama-like than Pau, but it's close.

Andre Drummond is the NBA PMCRC* though.

Going to the game tonight. More nervous than excited, but overall just anxious to see how the team looks.

Hopefully the crowd noise is better this round, I know I'll do my part and try to get my section going lol.

As we all know game 1 is always a huge game, but I think for this match up it is even more elevated. Chicago is going to be coming in on a high, just blowing out Milwaukee and realizing this is their chance to take control of the series. If the Cavs come out and win this game, I think we win the series, if we come out and lose it will be a touch series to win. Rose is best on more then 1 days rest which he has, the rest of the series is every other day through game 5 which could give us an upper hand, and JR coming back on Friday.

Even though we lack depth we need to make this an up-pace game to help tire out their bigs and make them go small. I see us games 1 and 2 really playing fast to help cover up the loss of Love and JR.

 

[Cayman13]

On my way into my building this morning (tower City), a bulls player (or younger coach) ran right by me, should I have stuck my foot out?

 

[Binkster]

Literally may need to down a bottle of Xanax before the tip tonight. I've never been this nervous for a series and I've seen some shit, man.

 

[pl4tinum]

Is there an official starting 5 yet?

 

[K1rieIrving>AllOtherPG's]

It will be so painful to watch if JJ or Marion will start, I sure hope blatt will find a way to keep their minutes to a bare minimum
