Not a fan of giving the players as much rest as he did. If Shaq was ready to go he should have played.

Really hoping these guys get beat in one of these games to smack them in the face and give them a reality check. It was "ho hum, sweep, ho hum, sweep" in the first two rounds before they got bitch slapped by Orlando last year. I know they are hungry but I want to see "step on their throat and piss in their face" hungry.

Chicago will win the first game, then Cleveland will put them out in 5.

I think it'll be a good series, but Cleveland will win. I think Rose and Noah, and even Deng will play great/good. Chicago just can't do it with Kirk and Taj playing in the starting lineup. Solid players, but not the good/great players you need to beat the top team in the NBA standinds wise. If Chicago plays Cleveland very well, I think more hype will build up about Wade going there.

Don't doubt it could go 5, but you honestly believe the Bulls will win the 1st one? First playoff game this year, IN Cleveland...I doubt it.

If Chicago wins a game in the series it will be game 1.

I dont think LeBron and the starters will be rusty, but the layoff they had coming into this series plays into Chicago's favor in the 1st game.

Cavs play at 3:00 on Saturday. Indians play across the way (vs. Chicago, go figure) at 4:10.

Indians are going to sell bleacher and lower reserve tickets to anyone who shows up with their Cavs ticket after that game for $5. You'll probably get to see half of the baseball game.

He looks like a fag in the 2nd picture. Johnny T is pissed that he stole his move.

That was the slur of choice that led to the tightening of the rules. Pretty sure it was the only word ccrunner ever used.

I hope it is a sweep. I won't be watching any of the first round games. Just seeing that half French crybaby doucebag makes me want to go kill kittens with my bare hands.

I dunno if anybody heard the quotes from LeBron, but this is the most focused I've seen him, like ever...

Dude seems to finally have found that "nastiness" of I don't give a shit about our opponent..

He had something to say to Noah as well.. Something along the lines of "A couple of weeks ago, Noah asked for us.. We, he got us.. But this is going to be a different monster on Saturday"... He also gave a speech to the team that was Al Pacino-esque... haha

"I've been waiting personally on this since Game 6 of the Orlando series," he said. "It kind of hurts for a long time. You kind hold that in for all summer and all regular season to get back to this point. I'll be happy Saturday when I get the opportunity to release it."

I think LeBron is personally going to see that he has an entire collage of him posterizing Noah in one series.

I think he's out to embarass the little bitch.

Yeah. Watched the interview the other day. Lebron seems pissed off, sounds like the loss in the ECF's last year is still haunting him..........

Hopefully the Cavs use that anger to their advantage. I cant really remember a more complete Cavs team in my lifetime.
