Bulls : They know how to play the refs and make us frustrated. They will slow down the pace and bang us down low. Tough to beat a team with so many experienced players.

If we are going to face the Raptors in the second round, we should pay the Clippers to rent Paul Pierce for a few days, just to have a massive mental advantage...

Chicago and Atlanta are both top 10 in Offensive Rebound Rate.  That could be cause for concern.

Detroit is top 10 in overall Rebound Rate, and their starting lineup is bigger than ours at virtually every position.

Those teams would worry me a little.

I should add the Bucks.  They have the mega-star talent we don't have, in the form of a guy who stands taller / has longer arms than almost anybody on our roster.

The Bucks aren't actually a great team, but they are solid all around and in a playoff series you always need to be worried if the other team has the best player on the floor.

  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.

Wade and Rondo's revenge would surely be tough.
