I think Bulls probably match up best with the CAVS. They got a good balance of vets and talent both offensively and defensively. Put Butler on Lebron, Rhondo on Kyrie. Then you got the dangerous closer in Wade who can take over a series still. Just seems like the Bulls are coming together and meshing well at the right time. Would like to see this series.

Yeah until the fact that they wont be able to match up with Cavs offensive firepower

Them or the Bucks because the Greek Freak could go nuts.

But that's not saying much. Cavs have to be like 9:1 favorites to come out of the East. Sad that the East hasn't been able to mount any real competition for LeBron in years.

I think it's

Wizards
Bulls
Raptors
Bucks

In that order. Raptors have to play much much better if they want a chance. Wizards offense really can damage on cavs defense.

Bulls right behind them. Bucks are much better than I expected too

Its Wade's ability to close out games that elevates the bulls in my mind especially when were talking about playoff basketball.

Wizards are by far the worst match up in the East for both the Cavs and Bulls

Wall usually owns Rondo and even when Wade was near his prime in Miami, he couldn't guard Beal. Wiz just have too much across the board

This. My money's on the Wizards. So underrated.

Bulls would not get past the Wiz. Right now the Wiz are the most complete team in thr East.

If we get past the Celtics, I don't see us getting past the Wizards and I see them as the Cavs' biggest threat.

Washington's gonna sweep both the Bulls and Hawks. If the Cavs have a long series in the second round, Wizards are gonna beat them.

Bulls aren't very good. Wizards are the biggest threat.

Bulls and celtics would be the two easiest teams.

None of them are coming close. Sweep to the finals.

Wizards.

But the Bulls are 7-1 vs the Cavs last two seasons. Bulls are above .500 vs CLE/BOS/GS/SAS combined.
TNT Bulls are probably more dangerous to top seeds than your average 8th seed.

Do you firmly believe this or are saying this 'cause of your sig bet?

Id say the wizards are

What.

Can't believe it hasn't been said yet. Bulls swept the Cavs this season 4-0. They absolutely are a threat, but I doubt the Bulls get past Washington.

The east is so crap

You guys are telling me that John Wall and Beal are some how a bigger threat than a Butler and Wade with Rhondo playing this well? What am I missing here? What is making the Wizards that much better?
