I'm not sure if the board is ruined or not. Nor am I sure what has ruined it if ruined. Fans scolding other fans for their opinions is my #1 cause for the ruining if so. People need to tough it out if they don't like opinions.

I don't see the Bulls getting out of their funk just yet. I got Cleveland wining by 6, but I think it will be back and fourth until the 4th quarter.

I think the Bulls can get the moment back after or just before going into the all star game. They need to get some guys healthy.

Pau has been horrible on offense against cleveland, both in the pre season game and the one at the UC. Even when Noah hasn't been good this year he usually plays great against a lebron team and guards Love really well, him not playing plus no dunleavy to get some spacing kinda has me thinking there's another loss coming out way tonight

I made a bet before the season began. I put 20 bucks down and if the Bulls win it all I collect 110. This was back when Cleveland was the favorite. I still feel good about that bet.

Every year since 2002 the Bulls have played better in the 2nd half of the season. Everyone getting healthy and more time playing with each other will be key, but win or lose tonight, this team still has a lot of upside for the rest of the year.

Lebron is probably all tired from doing laundry and paying his bills after coming back from that long west coast trip. He was supposedly standing in line to pay his "HGH" bill....easy win for the Bulls.

It's interesting that there have been a bunch of ball boys popping up this season that just trash our players and go over the top reactions more so then it has been done in the past. Not really bringing substance to the conversation.

I guess I just need to ignore the stuff of nonsubstance. My ignore list certainly has grown. Anyways, I said my peace and this will be the end of it from me.

As long as the fans can live with the possibility of Rose not re-signing with Chicago once his contract expires....I'm cool.

We're it not for the baseball strike Jordan most likely would not have returned to the Bulls in light of the media persecution he went through with the gambling story.

Mozgov, Thompson and Love are going to POUND the Bulls on the glass. They have four guys including LeBron who are more physically imposing inside than anyone on the Bulls right now.

Will Rose play D on Kyrie?

Will Jimmy have anything left in the tank for offense while guarding LeBron 40 minutes?

How many minutes does McDermott see tonight?

I'm over my data cap, going to be missing the next few games. Good ones, as well.

Should be the perfect game for Rose to get rolling. He's in good form, he's shooting the ball well, Kyrie is a big name matchup (and of course, we always bring it when versing LBJ), Kyrie can't defend to save himself, Cavs interior defense is weak (but much improved with the addition of Mosgov).

Excited to see Doug back too. Hopefully he can knock down some big shots and get his confidence going.

It will be interesting because he probably gets a chance tonight. Does he play minutes over Snell and Moore. Snell was pretty decent guarding LeBron in Chicago and Moore has been decent for the last few games. And, Jimmy was not there in the first game against Cleveland.

I would even think a frontcourt of Tristan and Love might be better than having Mozgov with the way the Bulls have been playing. Having Mozgov might actually help the Bulls.

Not sure if it's been mentioned before, but I was listening to the most recent Bulls Zone podcast featuring Chicago Sun-Times' Joe Cowley and heard some interesting stuff regarding Thibs' relationship with the front office and his future:

Does Snell even see time with the recent DNPs he's gotten?

As far as the frontcourt goes, the Cavs won the rebounding battle last game, what with Thompson getting all those OREBs. With Mozgov, they probably will do so again.

If Love does play not sure if that is good or bad for us. He has struggled to fit in with Cleveland generally, but we have also blown chunks guarding any type of stretch 4.

I'm not confident we can win this, we are playing bad lately with no signs of improvement. And missing two starters too.
