[YAH trick YAH]

So who will shoot 0-fer tonight? Will it be Deng or Tyrus?

[EricGordon23]

Maybe Lebron will hit his first 3 point attempt that game.

[Nash-tastic]

If Cavaliers lose, LeBron James might as well eat a basketball

chicago is 2-0 versus non-playoff teams and 0-2 versus teams that made the postseason last year. the magic are ALWAYS a bad match up for chitown because the bulls can't stop Dwight Howard from dominating down low. Plus the game was @ orlando. then chicago lost to the Celtics @ Boston where the refs don't even let the game be played, they give the C's every possibly benefit of the doubt and the C's get every last call so that was easily an Loss but it's not like the Celtics are a bad match up for Chicago...their bench is horrible compared to other teams.

so chicago lost @ Orlando and @ Boston. However, I can seem them winning @ Cleveland...unless the refs give the Cavs the Boston special treatment which i can easily see happening. the cavs are a good match up for the bulls.

With the way LeBron is shooting from anything beyond 5 feet, it's an accomplishment just scoring over 25 nowadays. Unless the refs parade him to the foul line as they did in the Dallas game....I don't see him scoring 35, even on an overrated player like Deng.

Other than Rose, the Bulls are such trash.

ummm...you can't take her posts seriously. that 33 23 poster is a hater.

[DuMa]

I think Thabo will be guarding Lebron most of the night anyway
also is this on WGN?

I bet you are right. The Bulls are awful at defending the 3-point line, and if you combine that with their inability to keep opposing players out of the paint, the Cavs should hit at least 10 3-pointers in this game.

Lebron normally dominates the Bulls, but the games stay close because everyone defers to him. When the Bulls go into their 10-turnovers-in-a-row phase, the Cavs should be able to capitalize on fast breaks and outside shooting. I'm thinking 103-95 Cavs...but I hope I'm wrong.

[mlh1981]

I am looking forward to seeing Derrick Rose. Should be an easy win for the Cavs, but I hope they don't rest on their laurels after the impressive road victory over Dallas.

[QUOTE=33 23]Wow. What is with all these guaranteed blowouts being nationally televised? I'll never understand it.

This will be Cleveland's easiest win all year, and if LeBron James fails to score at least 35 points on Luol Deng, he should just quit. This will be LeBron James' easiest test so far, as Deng might be the worst, least athletic starting forward in the game. Rose is coming off a pretty sub-par performance, so look for him to get off to a quick start. Anyway, there's really no way the Cavaliers lose this game

[Lebron23]

I don't know why this idiot hated LeBron. He's not a ball hog unlike your favorite NBA player, and the guy is filling up the boxscores with assists, rebounds, and steals.

LeBron will score over 30 points unless Mike Brown will not play him in the 4th quarter.

i live in Ohio i get every Cavs game

Lebron fills up the stat sheet because his defense is garbage idk how many steals or blocks he gets for somebody 6'9 260lbs with that athletism his defense should be better than Josh Smith, but its not it really is garbage

Mayo who is only 6'3 200lbs shuts down/contains players who are 5-8 in taller than him held tmac 6'8 7-18 shooting held 6'8 steven jackson 6-21 shooting and those are the type of things that wont show up on the box score.
