is anyone surprised the price for the Bulls series has them as 2-1 dogs. I thought for sure it would be closer to Cavs -150, Bulls + 130 especially with their impressive game vs Bucks.

Stan, post the video of your "in shock" face when the bulls take this into a game 6. Can't wait. I have yet to hear from anyone why the cavs are so much better than the bulls.
Superstars = cavs
Bench = bulls
Coaching = bulls (you can argue that lebron is the true coach of that t, blatt is a bum
Homecourt = cavs
Who's been waiting all year to play this team = bulls can't wait
Size = bulls by far
Experience as a collective unit = bulls
The X factor for both teams will be:
Cavs = mozgov
Bulls = mirotic AND rose ( I have this feeling rose has his coming out party in this series) I can't imagine how excited this guy must feel getting back to where he and the bulls should have been the last 3 years)
If you ask lebron, what one team does he not like playing other than the spurs? He knows what coming his way.
Expect lebron to play at least 43 minutes a game in this series
I'm not gonna pretend like I know everything like some guys in this forum and NHL forums where they just blurt crap out, but I'm betting this bulls team has at least 6 games in them for this series. No definites in sports......

Davtyan if the bulls can take game 1, I think it creates some anxiety for this inexperienced cavs team. Sure lebron has been there but that's about it. This way, ALL THE PRESSURE goes on Cleveland considering smith will still be out game 2. I predict that after 4 games this series will be tied. I'm anxious to see what kind of lebron shows up for this series. Will it be the lebron who goes for 40 every night and comes out guns blazing or will it be the lebron who tries to involve everyone by taking a backseat in the first half? From there, it will get exciting. If it's tied after 4 games, the bulls' confidence will be through the roof. I like the game 6 prediction though because if it goes 7, it's gonna be tough for the bulls to go in there and steal it; they can do it though for sure.

Why would lebron not like playing the bulls? Hes 12-3 against them in the playoffs. Also why do you think the thibs is so good. I wouldnt be shocked if they dont win this series hes gone. Not that he isnt a good coach but hes like mark jackson in GS, this teams got so much potential and he cant seem to get it out of them.

Yes, but he knows its going to be a hard faught game and very physical. Bulls play him tougher than anybody. A lot of those games have been very very tough wins. I can guarantee LBJ would rather play Atlanta, WAS, and anybody else in the east other than the Bulls.

You obviously haven't followed the Bulls too much. Thibs never has a healthy roster. He finally does now, and this is his test. I do agree though, with all the front office problems, I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone after this year - unless the Bulls reach the Finals.

Rose being happy that the Bulls are where they are because they should of been here the last 3 years will probably equate to a turnover happy Rose. I think Cavs squeak by game 1 then I'll hop in Bulls series price. Love is a HUGE loss to this team

The Bulls dropping those two games scared everyone.
But I'm a Bulls fan and I have to agree with those saying Cavs take this easy. I don't think they can compete in a seven game series offensively. Far too inconsistent.
First time they go on one of those typical scoring droughts and post 12-13 in a quarter, they're going to realize that they're in big trouble.

I can see this series going like the spurs clippers series.
One of the above posts said Lebron is 12-3 against the bulls in the playoffs. This is true, but aren't most of those w/ the Heat??
That Lebron Heat team was very similar to this Lebron Cavs team...3 great stars and little depth behind them.(Bosh Wade James__Irving Love James)
Difference here is that Kevin Love is out. The pressure is on Lebron and Kyrie. Jimmy Butler has had good success defending Lebron, and his minutes are piling up on those legs. In games 3 and 4 of the Boston series he was getting his calves iced and experiencing cramping. Even w/ that said, Lebron will still undoubtedly do his thing, but not as easily as he did vs Boston.
A big problem for the Bulls will be Kyrie Irving. I don't know who will be able to defend him. He has a shot at being "Jordan" like in this series if he takes it upon himself to do so.
If the Bulls move the ball like they did vs the Bucks in game 6, the Cavs can easily get gassed on defense. Which in turn can affect their offensive output.
The Cavs have the worst scoring bench in the NBA.
The Bulls turnover problems are concerning. Rose in particular. You'd think the starting point guard would have the best turnover margin on his team...
Game 6 vs the Bucks showed us how important it was for the Bulls to move the ball around and have everyone touch the ball. In basketball this is important, it makes the players feel more a part of the game, in turn making them play harder on all fronts. To blow out any team in the NBA by 52, in the playoffs, on the road is absolutely epic. It should not be over looked.
I can't wait for this series, it will be great.
Locked into Bulls+5 and small on the ML myself.
BOL FELLAS
