I think the Bulls can keep the games/series close, but there really isn't any chance they win the series.  The Bulls simply don't have the firepower offensively, or the superstar to keep them in it in the 4th quarter.  Derrick Rose is a stud, but he doesn't have the scoring potential that Ben Gorgan had when he kept the Bulls in some playoff games the last few years.

The Cavs are going to be rusty and they aren't exactly the kind of team that is going to blow you out 4 straight games, but even if the Bulls steal one of the first two games, when push comes to shove the Cavs will find a way.

As far as an upset is concerned, its obviously a long shot considering the odds are about +800, but I could see Charlotte upsetting Orlando for no other reason than Vince Carter has always been and will always be an overrated loser.

I don't love the Bobcats, but the Magic are far worse off this year with Vince Carter and Jason Williams than they were last year with Turkoglu, Alston, and Lee.

Cmon. The cavs will win. Take Miami over Boston. Or Utah over Denver. Those are possible first round upsets. Other than that I see the playoffs going according to plan.

No they arent. Carter is actually playing well although yeah i dont trust him. The reason jason williams is good is because he is a backup to jameer nelson and not a starter like alston was. Remember jameer got hurt last year thats why alston played alot. This team is better than last years team. Turk came up with big shots i know but still.

Thunder have a much better chance of beating the Lakers than the Bulls do beating the Cavs... odds aren't as nice, but there is a reason for that... you actually have a chance if you take the Thunder on the series... you don't have any chance if you take the Bulls to win the series (outside of Lebron getting hurt in game 1 or 2)...

Bulls have no chance, Gordon was the only game changer and scorer who they had and he left this offseason. This wont be anywhere near exciting as the Bulls/Celts last year. The Bulls suck, I can see them winning maybe winning a game but the Cavs will win the first and second round pretty easily.

Watched the cavs all year can turn it on when they want to. Better bet is taking the points with bulls, cavs will be favorite in every game of series. Don't waste money on big longshots. Just one man's opinion.Good luck on whatever you bet!

I agree. I think Utah and Miami will both advance to the 2nd round.

Chicago has no chance of beating Cleveland unless LeBron is injured within the first 3 minutes of game 1.

It's fun being right about stuff like this.  Vince Carter is simply pathetic and he always has been.  The misinformed see him win a few dunk contests and think he can play.  Anyone who believed that Vince Carter was an above average basketball player should be ashamed of themself.

I use to collect trading cards. There was a time when Vince Carter's rookie card was worth more than a $1000! I have no idea what it goes for today, but I know its not a $1000. They really thought he would be the next Jordan.
