The Cavs bench sucks, as does their D. I think we not only match up well with them, but over match them.

In the NBA, the worst team in the league will get wins against the beat teams throughout the regular season. And that wont mean a damn thing come playoffs.

Miami's first year together with their big 3 started off with a loss to Boston, and a lot of people were saying the Bulls could beat them. Look how that turned out.

Let's let the season play out.

A little different. That Boston team was solid. The Cavs lost at home, to a horrendous Knicks team that just got pounded by the Bulls, and the Cavs players should have come out hungry looking to prove something to the fans. Instead they laid an egg.

I still don't think it means anything in the grand scheme but pretty shitty way to open up the season.

From a talent standpoint, this Bulls team is better than that one. Noah is a better player, Taj as well, Gasol is much better than Boozer. Deng was not that good of an offensive player yet. Bogans was our 2 guard.

And that Cavs team is not as good, or seasoned, as that Heat team. Especially defensively.

I was surprised Cleveland lost. But then I forgot that Cleveland has guys who just don't defend. Not a shock. Glad it has the ESPN hype machine making excuses for Cleveland now.

You know your defense sucks, when you can't stop a team who is clueless and confused in their offensive sets... And on your home floor.

I, believe without a doubt, our best vs their best, the Bulls are better than the Clippers, and better than the Clippers East/Lite. And at least the actual Clippers have better coaching.

The Bulls could not attack the weakness of the Heat inside back then. These Bulls can attack inside against the Cavs. That's the main difference now.

I agree that you can't judge how good the Cavs are gonna be this year by tonight's game, but that loss was HUGE!

With the Bulls playing Cleveland on Friday night, they have a chance to start the season with a 2 game lead on the Cavs. Once they figure out how to get all that talent to play together, I don't see Cleveland losing a lot of games, but I don't think the Bulls are going to lose a lot of games, either. If they are going to get home court advantage in the playoffs, they will need to get as far ahead of the Cavs as possible early in the season.

The Bulls destroyed the Knicks last night and I just assumed that it was because the Knicks sucked, but they came back less than 24 hours later and beat what we all know will be a very good Cleveland team. Lebron's gonna be mad tomorrow night and we won't have Jimmy Butler to slow him down. The Bulls need to win to make a statement and get a bit of a head start.

I don't think anyone will deny this. But the Cavs still have LeBron fucking James and we don't. We aren't even sure what Derrick Rose is yet. This season is the Bulls best chance to beat that Cleveland team, and they will only do it if Rose is a star again.

The last two years Rose being Rose was season ending injuries to his knee. We weren't fine.
