    I think the bulls will pull away only if Kirk can get 30 which can happen but I think the Cavs by 7

    The cavs crowd's have been terrible since moving from Richfield to downtown Cleveland in 94.

    We probably have the weakest crowd in the entire NBA.

    I'm going with the Cavs. The Bulls have been a huge disappointment to say the least. I know a lot of that is not their faults though...bad luck.

    Yes true. Injuries have been a black storm around us. Losing Chandler IMO was the biggest. Big rebounder and defender. But yes, something always seems to go wrong with the Bulls.

    Bulls win!!!

    Jamal Crawford was un-stopable. He led all scorers with 30 points and added 5 assists. Gendall Gill helped with 21 points.

    Crawford also held Lebron James to 7 on 24 shooting.

    Tonight was a hard fought game and the Bulls earned it.
