Mac and Snow need to take care of that. * Someone on the bench really needs to step up offensively. Harris/Wagner need to find more ways to score. These two need to get some sort of offensive rhythm so we can give the starters some good rest. * Z>Davis, remember that. * LeBron just need's to be LeBron. * These Bulls only have 1 so far in 10 games. They are thirsty EVERY game they play. Don't underestimate them. I can recall last season when we over looked the Bulls and they gave us a butt whoopen. FINAL THOUGHT : A back to back night for the Cavaliers after winning a stunning nail biter last night at Boston. The Cavaliers head home to face the 1-9 Chicago Bulls. Luol Deng leads all the Bulls in scoring averaging 15.2. Kirk Hinrich is right beside him averaging 14.7 ppg. If those two are shut down by the backcourt rotation of Newb/Mac/Snow we should be in for an easy night. Prediction. Cavaliers win 101-89 Vist Real Cavs Fans
Good preview not sure if Chandler will start though since he was benched last time out the lineup was Deng at power forward Andres at small hinrich at the 2 and Duhon at the 1. I hope the Bulls win, but being realistic it is highly doubtful they will. We have no one who can contain Lebron, and with Curry benched at the start of the game the cavs can probably get a few easy baskets on the old and under sized ( compared to Big Z) Davis. I do how ever think if the Cavs take the Bulls lightly we can pull out a win it all depends on weather or not Lebron is hot, Curry coems to play, and the bulls gell and hold on to the ball while running there offensive game plan. The matchups are pretty even every where except the small forward spot you can treally be amtched evenly with Lebron unless you have a super star on him or premier defender. I expect that Lebron will use some moves to take advantage of Nocioni who has not gotten a full understanding for the american game yet.
I dig these previews- well put together. Maybe, just maybe this is one of those games that can allow Silas to give the bench oodles of minutes if we jump out, particularly now since we're at the half and the Cavs do have a nice lead. Get it out to twenty fast in the third and get that bench in there to play substancial minutes. If the bench bunch doesn't start getting things in gear soon it's really going to hurt in the not too distant future. Love to see if Luke Jackson can get a nice chunk of minutes too, but obviously the most important thing is for them to win a game they should win at home... no offense to any Bulls fans. Get that bench going! Wags, Harris, Traylor, Diop, Snow- that CoULD be a nice little unit to help stem the tide if they can start grooving! Chip
Lebron is about to get a triple double possibly the kid is three rebounds, and three assists away from his first career triple double, and what team better to get it against than Jordans team. This game is a blow out which sucks since I am a Bulls fan it is no longer about who will win, but about if Lebron will achieve his triple double.
