* I am not sure if the starters for the Bulls are correct. *

Okay, I think the losing streak starts here. But it should be challenging for Kyrie to go up against Rose, assuming that Derrick will play.

Here are the upcoming games after this...

The next few weeks are going to be a difficult test. It will be interesting to see if Irving hits the rookie wall.

Does anyone know if Rose is playing tonight?

From what I have read, he will be out tonight. Rose supposedly regrets initially playing on the injured toe, and I see no reason to push Rose to come back until he is fully healed.

Seems like Rose is out and that's a shame IMO as it would be fun to watch him match up against Kyrie. Anyway it gives us a better chance to compete against one of the best defensive teams.

Hope TT has a good game.

Yeah, shame rose probably wont play. I always want us to win while im watching but hopefully the wins dry up a little.

Didnt the wizards beat these guys without rose? Or was that another crap team? We may have a chance. Even without rose i think we're gonna struggle to score against these guys if they dont play slack.

The Grizzlies were the ones who recently blew them out with Rose sitting on the sidelines.

As for our chances... I don't think we're winning, Rose or not. Just hoping Kyrie and TT have good games. And I am afraid to look at our shooting percentage when this is over...

Could be ugly. And there could be a whole bunch of turn overs as well.

I have no idea why Byron is so interested in watching Jamison and Sessions play more minutes than the rookies. Jamison is terrible defensively and is useless when his shot isn't falling but he's still getting his minutes.

Anyway, this is our first real loss that are making us look like the team we were last season I just hope Byron put some faith in the young players and don't take out Kyrie as fast as his starting to feel it as he did in the first quarter.

So glad I didn't watch the game.. Losing by 39 at home and shooting 30 percent from the field. Reminds me a lot of last season. Maybe now the losses will start to pile up and we will see how the Cavs really are.

Also I can't believe we have a better record than New York and Boston.

Yeah it was ugly, and :lol:

at the knicks, they are awful.

it's pretty obvious he's trying to showcase them to other teams. neither players value will benefit from them being glued to the bench.
