It took longer than expected, but the Bulls have made it to the second round, and they get what they wanted — the Cleveland Cavaliers. A banged up Cavaliers without Kevin Love all series and no J.R. Smith the first two games (because he can’t control his fists).
Do the Bulls have a chance in this series? Yes. A legitimate one.
But they are going to have to defend better and play more consistently than we have seen from them at any point this season (including against the Bucks).
