We need to grab game 1 here..no 3's, run them off the 3 point line..they live off 3's...Hope they know we're a different team then we were during the year..better Pierce and better Oto..

Wonder if we put Otto on Crowder or let him bother Korver with his length.

Going to be a tough series

Cleveland in 5 games.

Tight games, but Cleveland will pull it off.

Give me Chicago in 6. My biggest issue was Thibs forcing the Gasol/Noah pairing against a spread out Cleveland team. With Love out that matchup won't kill them anymore. When Cleveland goes with LeBron at the 4, hopefully Thibs sees theres no way to hold onto those 2 together.

Don't really know what to make of Atlanta and Washington after the first round. Feel decently confident Atlanta takes it though.

Bro, that's DeMarre Carroll on the Hawks, not Jae Crowder lol. It's an understandable mixup though.

No suspension for Dunleavy, should be a good series! With no Love for the series and J.R gone for the first 2 games the Bulls have the jump on the Cavs from the jump, Lebron is going do him but hopefully Jimmy G can "slow" him down. Bench play is probably going to be key in this series Niko, Snell and Brooks going to have to contribute more than they did against the Bucks. The Cavs are not as long as the Bucks but they have a lot more talent should be a good series.

Surprised Dunleavy didn't get at least get a game..,

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

If the Bulls use their depth they should win this

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

So how should the Cavs start the game? Small with Lebron at the 4 and 2 of Jones, Shump,Miller next to Kyrie and Mozgov or simply put Thompson in for Love and try to match Chicagos size? I guess as soon as JR returns they will go small with him and Shump, but no clue how you play these first two games. Plus with this bench Lebron and Kyrie have to play 40+ minutes per game, could be a huge factor too.
