Cavs should win in 7. But I think Lebron at the 4 is a bad idea, their big men will totally wear him down

Noah is a non factor on offense right now, if Lebron could just keep him off the boards they would be fine. Also Chicago would have to match up with him on the other end.

Bulls have also turned the ball over 80 plus times in 4 games, that's not championship level basketball.

Please stop posting. Gasol is going to wear Lebron down?

I've never been a believer in a Rose led Bulls team, dude is not a leader, nor does he make winning plays when it counts.

Honestly, I don't want LeBron at the 4, either. But we don't have many options right now. We're very thin in the front court, and TT can't play 44 minutes. Wouldn't be surprised to see him play 38, but multiple games of that will wear him down quickly.

The Bucks have a better defense than the Cavs with their length.

True but 28 turnovers in a game is ridiculous no matter who you are playing.

Yes playing down on the block is much more tiring than being out on the wing. But also whenever he has played the 4 from what I've noticed the Cavs play at a much slower pace

Lebron could play half asleep and guard gasol at this point in his career. Gibson could wear on him. Gasol.... Not a chance.

It's LeBron...he can do what Magic did when Kareem went down in Game 5. Rookie Magic went from PG to C and went 42/15/7

So just Gibson?

Because Noah brings little to no offense.

FIFY

Noah is a great facilitator from the free-throw line/elbow area. Running the offense through Noah was how the Bulls were able to do what they did when Rose missed all that time. Since Rose has been back though, and with the emergence of Butler as a guy who can get the ball and score iso as well, they have kinda stopped using Noah as a facilitator. I expect that to change, at least a little, against us w/o Love.

He is not a threat to beat us with his post moves, though he's competent from there.

The reality is, the notion that Lebron Freaking James is going to be "worn down" by anyone is a fucking joke.

Also, Olynk is a piece of shit.

Won't go to Sleeper lengths, but this game made me feel a little better about our chances.

I remember the last time an Ohio team was making a playoff run and a star player went down. Someone say we need a power forward?

The Cavs are as good of a defensive team as the Bucks I don't expect the Bulls to score over 90 points. Cavs in 3

Noah was garbage tonight in crunch time. How many layups can someone blow? Congrats to the Bucks. Hoping that they grab game 6 too.

Rose and Butler are playing some insane minutes. Need this to go 7 so they practically get no rest. Would be huge.

Are we even sure we are playing the Bulls next? They are bad and it wouldn't surprise me at all to the see the Bucks advance.

Host of Mad Dog just said the Love injury is ironic because he could very well be on the Celtics next year. SMH.
