The Chicago Bulls arrives in round 2 vs the Cleveland Cavaliers after finally putting away the stingy youthful Milwaukee Bucks 4-2. Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler wreaked havoc for the most part on the Bucks back court and now they get a stiffer challenge from the Cavs of Cleveland.

The Cavs arrive after sweeping the Boston Celtics as that clinching game 4 might be one to remember long after this series depending on who advances. The Cavs lose both the "Lake Oswego Monster" Kevn Love (Dislocated Shoulder) and "Gets Shots" J.R. Smith (Suspended first two games for elbow on C's Forward Jae Crowder. We have yet to see how this affects the Cavs moving forward.

PLAYBOOK

D-Rose will get tested playing the dynamic one in Kyrie Irving and Rose cannot get caught up in "I was once the NBA M.V.P....let me show you Kyrie"!. Kyrie has the best handle in the game and the Bulls must make him a jump-shooter as Kyrie can shoot it as well...keep both Guards out of the paint!

With no "Lake Oswego Monster" in Kevin Love the lanes to the paint get smaller as Tristan Thompson does not stretch the hardwood. Now having said that he is a monster on the offensive glass and Bulls Taj Gibson and Jo and Pau must lock down the defensive glass...

Bulls Bench is superior to the Cavs Bench depending on if Tristan Thompson or Iman Shumpert or both get to start. Bulls Niko Mirotic, Aaron "206" Brooks, and Taj Gibson, and Tony Snell must play  big in this series in order for the Bulls to have a chance...

Thibs vs Blatt...or at this points should that even be in the cards as Thibs micro-manages and King James run his offense...go figure?

the "Money Ball Racks" who shoots it better?

Transition Offense vs Transition Defense...which culminates into "Splash Plays"...who leads in this category?

Hustle Board...who wins?

"Scrums" 50/50 Spalding Oranges who wins?

King James is 12-3 vs Bulls in "Winning Time"...Bulls it's past your turn!

Will Chicago go through the "Spaniard" Pau Pau Pau to start their offense as a Derrick + Jimmy two-man plan won't get it done versus Kyrie and LeBron?

Game 1 sets the mood for the Series...Bulls must handle that initial "Q" Power Surge by LeBron, Kyrie, and Company...stay in "Attack Mode" not settling for no J's...

Free Throw Line Margin...who wins getting to the line and making the most free throws...

Game 1 is here...7pm ET NBA on TNT
