Jose Abreu Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I predict: Cavs 116 Bulls 106 (we now have a bad defense and a better offense, expect a lot more high scoring games) LeBron: 38 PTS Rose: 21 PTS in 26 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Also, the Pelicans/GSW game should be fun too. I expect a monstrous night from Anthony Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEdWalsh Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 So starts the Bulls 50th season. As if I didn't feel ancient already, I went to the Bulls very first home game ever in 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think the Bulls win tonight. They usually do much better in the regular season against the Cavs/LeBron. It is when the season is on the line that the LeBron led teams crush the Bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think Bulls finish closer to the 6th see than the 1st. They will win tonight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibs defensive concepts had been largely adopted across the league and the Bulls still have a lot of experience playing it. I just dont think their entire tape sessions will be dedicated to it.

I agree. Its not like football where they are entirely changing the defensive concept. They are almost undoubtedly going to give up more points, but that will be because they play at a faster pace.

Jenksismyhero Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) The defense last year sucked. I think 19th overall. They were slipping even with Thibs. That's partly do to Gasol being awful and having a broken Noah, so they should be a little better this year. This team is going to be in 115-105 games more than 85-80. Thank. Freaking. God.

southsider2k5 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Cavs playing physical on the inside, and no fouls being called. Bulls are getting to the rim at will with Rose out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 So I see Rose lasted 15 minutes of game time before getting hurt. This is an improvement compared to the preseason. No I'm not joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
