I'm not even sure who the Bulls are going to start in this game. It's kind of a mess they have over there. On one hand they have the solid depth at guard for sure and on the other way too many egos. I've watched a little of these first few games for them. It reminds me of when we first got LeBron. Ricky Davis just wouldn't let it be LeBron's team. I see the same going on there with Gordon and Hinrich(and Hughes will certainly only make it worse when he gets there). The sooner they trade those guys, the better the Bulls/Rose will be off. Just like we had to do with Davis.
LTC's keys of the game
-Zydrunas Ilgauskas- Chicago has nothing to offer to guard him in the post or his mid range shot. His offensive rebounding should be huge in this game. Although Drew for them is a pretty damn good rebounder himself.
-Perimeter Defense- As great as Rose is at dribble penetration, Chicago is very reliant on the outside shot. If they're on, they are tough. If not, they are not tough. Simple as that.
-Quick start- The Cavs have been HORRIBLE in the third quarters of games, we all know that. I don't think this Bulls team has the makeup to bounce back if the Cavs put them down big in a hurry. I don't expect it, but I'm hoping for it.
Go Cavs!
