The Bulls may have caught the Cavs by surprise in Game 1, and it took a while for Cleveland to shake of the rust of a long layoff. Their second half comeback fell short, but I don't think the Bulls are going to be able to pull of another upset in Game 2.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Home Cookin' - The Bulls did not play well in Milwaukee after going up 2-0 in their first round series, and we might expect them to suffer a bit of a let down on the road here in Game 2.
2. LeBron James - He's going to have to be better than he was in Game 1 if the Cavs are going to tie the game. "We all have to be better," James said. "I have to be better. I wasn't that good." I wouldn't bet against him, his teams are 12-4 in 16 post-season games versus Chicago.
3. X-Factor - The Bulls twice beat LeBron's Heat in Game 1, but they went on to lose four straight in each of those series.
Selection: This is a play on the Cleveland Cavaliers (8*)
