Bigger threat to the Cavs? Bulls or Miami?

[TrueBlue89]

Two stacked teams that have somewhat underperformed all year but have lately been picking up the pace.

[raprap]

Miami, the Bulls will always be bron's bitch :banana:

[Smoke117]

Stacked huh?...okay.

[Naero]

The Heat.

Too many growing pains with the Bulls' offense

[Nuff Said]

Lebron owns the Bulls. Rose hasn't been the same since lebron took his soul in the ecf.

[GrapeApe]

The Heat and Bulls are stacked?

A healthy Heat is probably the biggest threat to the Cavs.

[dubeta]

Cavs are the least talented of those 3 teams




But picking the Bulls/Heat means trusting either Rose or Wade


and LOL @ that :lol

[bluechox2]

bulls will be an easy out...as history has shown...lebron les miami is gonna bet total ass or injured come playoffs..wade is puting out too much just to keep the heat afloat

[JebronLames]

Only the spurs are a threat to a healthy cavs team

You must not think very highly of Lebron if you think the Cavs are less talented than the Heat and Bulls. Lebron, ya know, plays for the Cavs.

Stacked??


Built, not bought.

[Rocketswin2013]

Jimmy Butler

[AirBonner]

The entire eastern conference is. Bloodbath.

[warriorfan]

LeBron

[WayOfWade]

Miami for a few reasons. 1. They're probably hungrier and would play harder against the Cavs due to the fact that it is LeBron James and this is their chance for revenge. 2. The Cavs have the mental edge over the Bulls whereas they don't over the Heat, due to LeBron showing up the Bulls in 4 straight playoff match ups. 3. The Heat have players who are Champions and know what it takes to get there; granted they're not that young anymore, but experience counts.
There are probably a few more, but the Heat have the better shot, Bulls will never beat Bron

Revenge? :roll:

For what? Gifting the Heat 2 rings??




Face it the only person that deserves revenge is LeBron, the Heat quit on him in the 2014 Finals

Like he did in 11?

[Bankaii]

Like he did in 11?
The Heat wouldn't have made even made it to the Finals in 2011 had it not been for Lebron.

[Gileraracer]

Jimmy Butler. Lebron shot 39%/10% against him in last years POs.


That's, of course, also about his finals shooting percentage :lol

[PP34Deuce]

Miami is not better than CHicago but matches up better against Cleveland.

Whiteside takes players out the paint and Bosh can neutralize Love.

MIA can shoot 3's albeit streaky. It'll be a fun series

agree

[MMM]

I don't know about the Hawks being the biggest threat but feel like they'll be the ones left by the ECF

[Done_And_Done]

Has the definition of a "stacked" team been altered?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

It's a real tough question because the Bulls are in a groove and I have watched their past two games. Rose has finally learned his role of shooting maybe 8 shots a game at most and dish out when he can. He used to leave Gasol hanging at a high pick and a roll now he doesn't. Gasol's money on that and Rose has been giving him that shot far more often than he used to.

Heat... this team bounced back pretty quickly with the talent they picked up. I think they're too young and inexperienced but at the same time Whiteside is just getting exponentially better throughout his years. He's arguably the best center in the East Coast. Wade looks pretty good and they got a lot of energy with Winslow/Green.

I think Cavs could be taken to 6 games at least by both teams but I can't help but feel the Cavs would still win if everyone's healthy. The Bulls have always been LeBron's punching bag in the playoffs and the Heat needs maybe another year (assuming Wade can stay healthy). The Heat are posed to be in a solid low tier playoff team rebuild once Wade leaves.

But of course, a lot of it depends on how the series are called. If they are going to call a lot of touch fouls on shots/layups, I have a hard time believing LeBron wouldn't absolutely abuse that and get to the line at his whim.

[eeeeeebro]

Miami, the Bulls will always be bron's bitch :banana:

we was up 3 - 1 then gasol got injured and taj thats the only reason you got that W thank your scanky white guy for that not lebron
