Cleveland sets out on its path for revenge in the Cavs playoff history.

Up next are the Chicago Bulls who have sent the Cavaliers home in the playoffs before.

Not sure any team can hold the Cavaliers down, we'll be victorious.

Bulls are healthy and red hot. I remember a stretch earlier in the season where the Bulls blew out 5 playoff teams in a row on the road.

I didn't like Brownie sitting out his players again tonight.

Would not surpise me if the Bulls pull a repeat of last year's barn burner against Boston.

This kind of reminds me of the Warriors/Dallas series from whenever it was. Not because the Bulls have mismatches like the Warriors did, but because everyone will be picking against them.

I think it goes 7, with the Cavs winning.

Yeah, maybe if Cleveland has Jawad Williams starting again for LeBron.

No Bulls player will be able to body up Shaq and no Bulls player can guard LeBron.

Fans like you make me want to throw up.

Buck's a good fan. He just suffers from Clevelandsportsitis. He's seen these movies before.

Look up the definition of fan...short for fanatic, you might see things differently.

^^^there are plenty of fanatics in cleveland that think the cavs will lose somewhere along the line. And just to piss you off....I still say last year's team was better on paper. I don't give a crap what anyone else says.

If Salmons still roamed Chicago, this would be close.

Cavs in 5. Maybe 6 tops.

I want the Celtics too, but I don't think they can beat Miami if they continue to look dead on the court.

If(more like when) the C's lose to the Heat. I have a feeling that team will be blown up.

Not necessarily by the front office, but by the players. Doc will leave, KG SHOULD hang it up, and Ray should move on(I'll take him in LA lol). I think they will be left with Rondo, Scal, PP, Lil' Nate, and Perk.

It was interesting that during PTI, they were talking about how Doc continually put contract extension talks on hold this season.

It's popular belief that the Chicago job will open up in the offseason, Doc has a kid playing at IU and another kid who is the #1 high school PG recruit in the nation for 2011.

He may want to go back home to Chicago to coach or take an analyst job for a season or two with a network...

He denied the rumors that I heard today of him thinking about retiring, but I really could see it; especially with an early play off exit.

I think this will be a better series than the 2nd round. That said, Cavs still win in 5 games.
