I say NO! Watchrd this Cavs team went to several games LBJ will regroup his squad!! I believe they win Sunday....This is just me not trying to piss anyone off!

Doubt it. Cleveland much better.

nope, i wish though

No, but I do believe they make it a 6 game series though. United Center was very hostile last night and I think it got to the Cavs a little. We were seriously chanting "CLEVELAND SUCKS" for pretty much the entire 2nd half. LBJ is a baby dude cries about everything. Bulls might tied up the series after Sunday but they can't do anything back in the terrible state of Ohio

P.S.
Cleveland Sucks

all this does is gives them something to build on next year. if they can say they took it 6 or hell even 7 games with the future eastern conf champs then they will have extra confidence going into next year

oh yeah and a huge free agent signing we hope

bulls needed to steal game 2 to make it go 7

iggs and wco---was talkin last nite about this--bron stays in east, bulls get joe johnson and boozer and are perrenial 2 seed for 3-5 years then they restart?

seems like Bulls have been waiting to take the next step for awhile now with this nucleus. Definately a big offseason for them in regards to coaching and bringing in some big talent.

They have enough youth on this team I would think they could also put together some type of trade to bring someone in.

Bulls will be Eastern Conference Champs within 5 years.

Bulls fan here. But they have no chance in this series and won't win again.

Simple reasoning:

We all know the NBA with it's 7 game series creates a difficult to sweep dynamic because, usually after a 2-0 start for a team, the opposing team comes back with everything they have to avoid the 0-3 position.

Last night was a perfect example...the Bulls came out with 110% effort, the Cavs just sat back and let the Bulls give their best. In the middle of the 3rd quarter, the Cavs decided to test the waters and give it a run, and sadly, the Bulls let them get all the way back. The Cavs almost stole the game, but didn't.

Next game, you can be sure the Cavs will come out with a full 100% effort. Reason is, the Bulls used up their emotional effort in that win. That's not to say the Bulls won't come back and try, but now the Cavs took their rest and will go at the Bulls full throttle and will win the series without ever allowing the Bulls another significant lead again.

This is imo, the most familiar part about the NBA. The playoff dynamic where a team gets up for one game, then is put to bed shortly thereafter.

well they are gonna have a ton of money to spend in the offseason on a great free agent class

rose boozer and joe johnson with role players like taj gibson kirk hinrich and even deng (who is overpaid and slightly above average overall IMO) they could make a serious run at anyone in the east, cavs included

Well put Gfoots, but I slightly disagree. The bulls are an emotional team and they have tons of energy. Yes, Cavs will win the series but Bulls will not go quietly. This series will go 6, maybe 7.
