Seems like the Cavs are trying a bit harder to win this one judging by the minutes. 18 minutes for Bron Bron. 17 for Love and Kyrie. 20 for Waiters. Bulls are all at 15 or less. Only down a basket. I'll take it.

Is D Rose 100 percent again? 20 points in the first half and 2-3 from long range.

i havent see him do much in the halfcourt tho

when he does those those tricky layups and hts floaters in the halfcourt....hes back

Cavs shouldn't have a big problem with no Butler in the game to guard LeBron he is just overmatching Dunleavey. AV is playing out of his mind but he has been since the FIBA World Cup.

Horrible defense or not, Derrick Rose is looking good.

I haven't seen this version of D Rose since 2011. Pre season or not, Cavs are playing their starters and playing to win the game.

I actually like Thib's having the bench in there against the starters. Thet gotta learn some lessons. I'd rather the Bulls remain low key as well, especially with no Butler defense in there. Meanwhile, LOL at Irving thinking he's doing something against our 3rd string PG.

Makes it hilarious when your forced to watch the Cavs broadcast and they get all excited about it.

The Cavs announcers are not even acknowledging that the Bulls played their bench most of the 2nd half. I love that Thib's stuck with the bench, and I love that the Cavs couldn't blow the game open like they were trying imo.

Rose has looked athletically fine since the summer, he will have good games and bad games. Thibs even called it working out the rust. Every growing pain is to be expected, but Rose is still a winning player at 90%....

I think we are really just talking about consistency returning and that last 10% of touch and fitness. At the pro level thats a big 10%, but his competitive nature will bring him out in playoffs.

Well, I would have rather Thib's kept Rose out for the remainder... I didn't really like how they finished the game. However, good to see them go up against the team to beat in the East. I really think that the Bulls match up much better against the Cavs than the Heat. The heat were just too quick for the Bulls team with their team defense.

However, the Cavs have a great offense. One thing for sure... I really think we are in for some intense battles coming up between the Bulls and Cavs!

Bring on the regular season! :beerbang:
