The Cavs are on the road and playing poor defense (like they have been), the Bulls are at HOME and playing great defense. The 2 situations literally have nothing in common.

It takes getting down 25 and giving up 72 in a half for the Cavs to show any defensive intensity and even still, they're giving up a ton of open threes to shooters.

Celtics will come fighting harder than ever. This is the game they NEED to stole. I think we can say 3-0 lead is pretty much from mental standpoint end for them. And we saw on this particular game Pacers got and playing with that fire, so they wont allow themselves under any circumstance to go into 3-0 deficit, regardless of who is on otherside, even it's mother*** Cavs and Lebron.

Damn I watched 10 minutes of nothing but pull up 3s from both the Cavs & Pacers. This league...

Welp, that turned around quickly

While I watch LeBron, the best player in the world by a wide margin dominate in this run for the Cavs, I can only envision him hitting these shots against the Bulls while Wade and Butler come down on the other end and match every bucket. That ECF would be epic.

So far the East matchups are as interesting as I figured. Figured we could give Boston all they could handle. I figured Pacers/Cavs series was going to be a doozy. Washington/Atl series was going to be a tight matchup and with how the Raptors always struggle, I knew the Bucks could potentially knock them off. I do think the Raptors are down for the count though. They just look completely shook since game 1.

Up 30? My god that's crazy. Hopefully the Bulls have a big night like that tomorrow and just crush their spirits.

Lol, these games. One team gets almost 75 in a half....and another team will be lucky if they get 30 in a half.

I agree. I picked the Bucks to beat the Raptors this series but I wasn't expecting 30 point blowouts. Lowry and Derozan are always terrible in the playoffs though, it's honestly pretty crazy.

Stephenson and Seraphin both get too many shots.

I knew the Bucks would be a problem when we knocked them out a few years ago, didn't think they'd be this though. They're really fun to watch. Poor Toronto

Hopefully the Bulls game isn't an instant replay of this Pacers game tomorrow.

Wonder if Toronto will regret signing both Lowry, and Ibaka to max contracts in the Summer?
