First time ever Bulls are at Full Strength vs Lebron

[Prometheus]

I have no doubt whatsoever that Cleveland will win this series.

Oh my god! Bulls just beat a 6th seed team by 54 POINTS!
They are THE BEST TEAM in the league.
If they lose more than 1 game against Cavs, it would be A HUGE UPSET.

[SuperPippen]

I didn't think the Bulls would have much of a chance in this series, but it seems like the stars may finally be aligning in our favor.

If Rose can outplay Kyrie in at least the majority of the games in the series, if Buckets can somewhat check Lebron while also being able to continue producing on offense, if we box out Tristan Thompson, and if Mirotic provides us with spacing and proves to be a legitimate ex-factor, the Bulls will take this series.

Definitely not a sure thing, even with Love's injury and JR's suspension, but a victory over Lebron seems like it may finally be within our grasp.

Rose at 22 years old with a new team, new coach

Uhhh right, except LeBron actually WAS on a new team. Rose was on the same team with the same core roster, with Boozer being the only major addition. 3 of Chicago's 5 starters in 2011 were the same as 2010. Nothing of that sort for Miami, of course. Far bigger adjustment for them/LeBron than for the Bulls/Rose.

67 games lost to his second and third best players

Chicago still finished with league's best record. Swept Miami in the regular season too. Bulls were also healthy come playoffs.

And the Heat had superb defense

Bulls had the league's best defense.

AND ROSE IS SUPPOSED TO BEAT LEBRON WITH THese ADVANTAGES!!!

A lot of people did predict Chicago to win that series. Rose/Bulls fans more so than anyone. And why not? Their team had the league's best record. Swept Miami in the regular season. MVP. COY. Best defense. Best rebounding. And that sentiment was even more prevalent after Chicago blew Miami out in Game 1. So let's stop pretending Rose/Chicago was some underdog going into that series.

Yup, and I don't wanna here no excuses about love! We have been injured over the past 4 years and nobody didn't wanna hear it! Now I don't wanna hear about love See yall monday!

[HylianNightmare]

I agree that if they can't do it this year they should make some bug moves

[LBJ 23]

Rose's standards are so much higher than Lebron's .

Don't be an idiot. NBA hasn't seen an NBA player who was held to higher standards than Lebron was in his first 10 years in the league.

[TheMan]

The same Rose who pissed in his pants when Lebron guarded him.
No, I don't think you need him.

Lol, it's like you simpletons believe LBJ was guarding Rose alone on an island. LeBron was funneling Rose to his help D, all of Miami's D was keying on Rose because they didn't respect the other Bull's players on offense. Way different scenario this time. This team has other guys who can score.

Lol lebron beat the bulls in cleveland before and in 2011 fully healthy. Even not counting the series rose didnt play in he is 2-0. So if the bulls even win this series it would have an asterisk just like how the last series was without rose

[J Shuttlesworth]

Were the Bulls not fully healthy in 2011?

What about 2013? I can't remember the other guys, but Rose was medically cleared to play if I'm remembering right.
