    If Love wasn't hurt, I'd say the Cavs would win this in 5 or 6.

    But since he is, I think this series is a tossup. Cleveland is going to have problems handling Chicago's physical frontcourt at both ends. Still, I'll say Cavs in 7, although I wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls beat them in 6. I think Kyrie and LeBron will go super saiyan in several games and that will be the difference that helps propel Cleveland to the ECF.

    Slow start for Cleveland. Lets hope the long layoff thing hurting a team isn't a trend.

    Well the Bulls have the "Lebron containing" formula down early. Physical perimeter defender matched with rim protector. Not looking good for the cavs if Kyrie doesn't play huge.

    Bulls robbed by 2 points. Review rules make no sense.

    Watching LeBron . . I realize . .. he can back a guy down and bull them over
    like no one else. . . . . If Dwight tried that he'd be offensive fouled out in 5 minutes

    That was a heck of a full arm extended push off to finish the half

    This is what Morey envisioned with Nene and Gasol...

    Gasol tearing apart the undersized Cavs...

    Semi-serious Q, if Kyrie keeps this play up, will Lebron ever win an MVP again?

    Bulls might let this one slip away

    A little home cooking . . . not good for them.
