No you haven't. And if you did, it was one time, and I doubt that.

Cleveland will close it out here.

But I'm a little surprised the Bulls have been able to hang in there in a couple of these games. Games 2 and 5 at Cleveland. The Bulls just don't have the defense in crunch time.

Cavs might have some trouble against a team that can defend better.

or is it just the Cavs have too many answers this year for anybody?

that is the question I suppose

but I don't think the Bulls are the best defensive team

they do make a lot of shots, Rose particularly

Jamison fixed his FT hitch, and now he's burying shots. I love it!

I've only watched Games 2 and 5. In both contests, the Bulls kept up until the fourth and then they couldn't get any stops. It was either LeBron scoring or passing to somebody for a three.

I can't imagine the Cavs being as efficient against the Celtics or Lakers or Magic in this scenario.

Ok, the Bulls are a scrappy defensive minded team. The Cavs, haven't played up to their full potential, except in a few stretches during this series.

The Cavs were the best defensive team in the league all season, I'm not worried about that department.

The Bobcats kept it close with the Magic in every game except Game 2.

The Bulls throttled the Bobcats at the end of the season.

The Bulls have been through a plethora of injuries this year, including Rose, Deng, Noah, not to forget they traded Salmons and Thomas. The Bulls were at one point, 8 games over .500 and beat a few elite teams on the road during one of their road trips.

The fact that they still fought their way to .500 after all of that, speaks volumes to the make up of their team.

I'm glad the Cavs were tested. It'll only help us later on..

The Magic were tested last year in the first two rounds, dropping 2 to Philly and 3 to Boston.. Likewise with the Lakers last season...

The only thing that kills our offense is when LeBron goes Iso-3 pointer.

lol, wildcat is being a hater tonight.

If anybody gets pissed about 1 on 5, get over it. Thats what superstars do quite a bit of the time.
