For that reason it's going to be hard not to root against the Bullies tonight, just so some of our fans can learn a little respect.
Where was that respect when the Bulls smashed the Cavs early in the season and people chalked it up to luck and an off night for the Cavs? I'm just returning the favor, no respect for the Cavs. That said, they'll win tonight by 20.

When the Cavs trounced the Bulls in there first meeting, I actually posted in the Bulls forum that I thought you're perimeter guys all would all do well (including Gordon who sucked at the time) and they would start to win when Curry/Chandler picked it up a bit.
That seems to be showing respect to the Bulls when you actually complement the lose

This will be a big game for tha cavs but one i think they will win. The bulls have some key players missing this game(Hinrich and Curry) so the cavs have a good chance although it will be a close game. Lebron will have a huge night as he will be very focused on winning this game and I think a big factor of the cavs winning will be whether or not Big Z has a good night.
Prediction:
Lebron 34pts/8ast/7rebs/3stl
Big Z 20pts/10reb/3blk
Let's keep the playoffs seed positioning interesting by knocking off the Bulls and keeping the Pacers at bay. Yes the game is in Chicago, but its not like the Bulls are invincible.
Nice start, 17-13 in the first quarter. Gooden is going off with 13 points and has not missed a shot. Go Cavs!
Neither team is making foul shots. Whoever starts knocking them down will have the edge in the game. Drew started out really hot but did most of his damage early. Z looks tired in the face. I wonder if he is still suffering from his insomnia problems because he looks like he's zoning in and out (maybe that's just his attention). Gordon has hit incredible shots. Especially that banking lay up on the right side.
Looks like somehow Paul Silas returned to coach the Cavs tonight: Harris and McInnis played the entire second quarter and Tractor got more minutes then Anderson.
I think Sasha forgot to walk Malone's dog or something: what is this kid have to do get some time

The rotations were a little odd. I'm waiting for Harris to make a splash, otherwise, I don't understand it. He tends to stand in one spot and out of all the Cavaliers' players, he probably moves the LEAST without the ball.
Gooden came out with a huge first quarter and alought he didnt do a whole lot in the second quarter he shoudl finish with some nice stats. Lebron started off not doing to well mostly cause of bad shot selection and not driving to the hoop. In the second quarter he started to heat up and started taking it to the basket. He now has 10 points/1reb/3ast/2stl. Big z been in foul trouble but still having a decent night.
Since both teams were sloppy in the first half, it's going to come down to who executes better. The Bulls are more spirited and have more energy. So I figure they'll elevate their level of play. Trying to predict how Cleveland will do is more difficult. James needs to find a rhythm and another Cavalier player outside of the Big 3 needs to step up. Chicago has a balanced attack going while Cleveland is having 3 guys do all the scoring.
