    Butler's gonna shut down LeBron. No Love is going to cause spacing problems. I got the Bulls.

    Cavs in 7 because thibs will play his starters 48 mins when he won't need to.

    Butler will "shut down" LeBron when it snows in Houston in July.

    If the Bulls are focused, they have a decent chance. Kyrie is the wild card.

    Cavs in 6, but Bulls have a chance and I hope they win. Rockets Bulls finals just has to happen, one time!

    Cavs aren't going to close this out without Love. That shifted the tide in favor of Chicago.

    Chicago in 6 or 7. No KL is going to be tough for Clev to match up with all of Chicago's bigs. Clev is about to find out how important KL was

    This series will show if and how important Kevin Love is to the Cavs. The Bulls are saying all the right things now, I guess they've been humbled from Lebron beating them down consistently. But, Lebron is the best player in the NBA and will remind everyone of that. Cavs in 7.

    Bulls win in 5. I thought they could beat Cleveland even with Kevin Love, now it's easier.

    If Kevin Love was still playing, I think you have to give the nod to the Cavs. With Kevin out, it is going to be hard to evaluate how well the Cav's and how much the loss of Kevin Love will impact the team as well as how much the Cav's can replace his production.

    With that said, I still think the Cav's will pull it out (in seven). I am not going to count out any team that has Lebron and Kyrie.

    Although, I would not be surprised if the Bulls pulled this out. They are a very good team and have the talent to pull this off.

    I wonder what Vegas has the odds of the Cavs/Bulls winning is?
