Steve9347 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 12:28 PM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

ZoomSlowik Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
