    I wouldn't count tonight as an upset tbh, Miami has been free falling late (sorry @Big Mitch) and looks like Whiteside & Dragic will be out. Bulls will win and Tyler Johnson will be on the wrong end of a few highlights.

    Always great to beat LeBron & Cleveland but we proved a few years ago that we can beat him in the regular season and still get bounced in the playoffs. That's all that matters to us, so we'll see if we can get it together in a best of 7. Easy to forget that If Blatt gets the a tech for that timeout last year we go back to Cleveland up 3-1. East is up for grabs this year IMO.

    That and a combination of the Bulls deciding to take 2.5 quarters off like they usually do when they see a "weaker team".

    Tyler Johnson gonna be able to hold his own against D Rose? Maybe they try Wade on Derrick and hide Johnson on Snell?

    We might put Wade or Winslow on him. Tyler isn't an awful defender because he has great footwork but I don't think he'd be able to guard Rose for more than a few quarters.

    I'm not looking forward to Winslow outplaying Snell/McBuckets all night. Really excited for the Butler/Wade matchup though.

    LMAO bruh i seen Miami nd thought this was like '12 or some s---.

    Yea nah Bulls got that for sure.
    Especially w/o Whiteside if he out, rose gonna get whatever he want
    Nd i been thinking the same s--- bout the East. Since last year forreal.
    If Wall aint break 5 bones that ECF wouldn't have been some s---. I can guarntee that.
    But yea cavs might have gotten worse, sure as h--- dont look any better, this year too.

    Still think Raptors pretenders (can't convince me otherwise)
    Bulls legit imo (Still cud get better)
    Hawks got the best big man combo in the east not much else( tough w/o wing player come playoffs. Baezmore got some juice tho not gonna lie)
    Celtics always play tough. Great Coach. Not gonna be easy out but missing their "guy"
    Pacers roster kinda shallow behind PG#13 (Myles gonna be a problem. Needs to play some d tho)
    Pistons least a year away from being serious threat
    Heat idek cud hop into top 4 or slide all the way out
    Wizards looking outside the playoffs atm but got a chance at most of team above em as long as Wall/Beal/Nene(lowkey as important) healthy

    2nd Half nd the Playoffs Bout to be a Mess

    Lol this happens every year around this time, Bron's team has some sort of struggle so people think any team can come out of the east. Then at the end of the year, it's always the same thing.

    Let's face it, only the playoffs really matter and Bron will be ready by then.

    I get what you're saying...but it is up for grabs, teams just haven't been able to capitalize. He's not in Miami w/ Wade, Bosh, and Riley behind him. He's older and doesn't have as good a supporting cast. This Cleveland team is very vulnerable and beatable. IMO without any major trades for other teams (like Boogie to Boston for example), Chicago & Miami are the only other threats to come out.

    Udrih and company doing a great job on Rose and Winslow is doing great on Butler, but Gasol is playing great. Granted, it seems like every rebound is falling right into his hands. It's nuts. We're lucky to only be down 5 at the end of the quarter. @Poohdini

    My dude Winslow is gonna be a star. ELITE defense on Jimmy tonight.

    Wade was great too. HUGE win.
