Bulls in 7.

 

There's not a team in the Eastern Conference playoffs that we match up with better. Thomas is his typical playoff self (leaving Boston struggling on offense), Wade/Butler/Rondo excel, Chicago dominates the boards, and the Bulls' role players play serviceable basketball.

 

For the Bulls, it's W, L, W, L, L, W, W.

 

Book it.

Lol ok, my post was 75% sarcastic, but I do think the Bulls are better suited for this matchup than most would think.

If Tyrus Thomas stays hot like he did in Game 1 vs Boston in 09, watch out!

Coming from the King of guarantees on this board (that never pan out), I found that comical.

Most of the games are going to be on TNT. And you know how well the Bulls do on TNT...

but none are on thursday, and the streak is only for home games. :unsure:

Game 3 is on TNT. I honestly think this team just plays better when they're on national TV. Guys like Rondo and Wade typically perform better in the playoffs too. It'll be interesting. I think Celtics in 6, but the games should at least be competitive. Boston has the lowest point differential of any 1 seed since the 1970s.

We also need Rose to score 36 points in game 1.

I think it goes 6 games. LETS GO BULLS!!!

I wish I could bet money on the Bulls winning game 1 by 10+, losing games 2-4 by 20 or less combined, then getting absolutely blown out in game 5.

It is time to let it go. King James has played more games since The Decision than before it. Glad you are always thinking of me, though! :wub:

LeBron is LeBron so I know better than to count Cleveland out but I really don't think they're going to be able to flip this defensive switch like some people have thought would happen. Toronto or Boston might just come out of the east.

There's no defensive switch to be flipped when five of your top ten rotation players are Love, Irving, Korver, Deron Williams and Frye. Not to mention LeBron is 32 (more like 35 in basketball wear and tear) and Richard Jefferson is 50. They'll beat the Pacers. But The Raptors/Wizards are both, IMO, capable of taking them out.
