    Should be a great series.

    It won't be a cakewalk like others suggest. I don't expect them to win, but I do expect to give the Lebrons hell.

    I think the Bulls can make it competitive. The Cavs, sans Lebron, play a lot of old and slow guys. We should be able to hang with them.

    If the Bulls somehow take them out, does Vinny keep his job? Heh

    Re: Round 1: Chicago Bulls Vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

    I'm leaning towards completely outrunning the Cavs and making sure it's 1 vs. 5 out there.

    And please Avery Johnson, come to Chicago next year :)

    Re: Round 1: Chicago Bulls Vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

    Funny you mention Avery Johnson, and not just because it'd be utterly hilarious to see what happens if Vinny beats the Cavs.

    Avery reminds me of the 06 Finals where the Heat beat the Mavs, and we lost in 6 to the Heat in the first round.
    This year's Cavs are actually very similar to that 06 Heat team

    LBJ ~ Wade
    Old, half-interested, hurt, out-of-shape Shaq ~ Old, half-interested, hurt, out-of-shape Shaq
    Antawn Jamison ~ Antoine Walker
    Mo Williams ~ Jason Williams , Payton
    Haslem ~ Varejao, Hickson
    Posey ~ Parker, Gibson
    Morning ~ Big Z

    The Cavs are a little deeper and younger, but they don't have quite the star power. I'd certainly take Posey over Parker and Gibson, but I'd probably take Mo Williams and Varejao/Hickson over Haslem.

    Anyway, against the Heat, we managed to make em look old and slow till we fell apart. Maybe if Rose really steps up, we can do it here.

    wow.

    Last time I looked, Bulls were 11.5 point underdogs this game. 11.5 is a LOT of points, and it may not be enough... :(
