The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t have much trouble against the Boston Celtics as they swept them 4-0, but it won’t be the case next round. Assuming the NBA Playoff curse does not break this year, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be playing the Chicago Bulls. That matchup will arguably be the best matchup so far in the Playoffs, with a lot of heated rivalry’s between these teams, this series is slated to be great. With star talent like LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, and Pau Gasol, the series will be one for the ages. Love will be deeply missed because he was an offensive threat that could stretch the floor for the Cavaliers.
