They put LeBron on Rose and walked away with a 4-1 victory...

Last year LaBron took Rose on and LaBron’s combo of size, speed and strength showed to be a tough matchup for Derrick. To improve that situation, do you know if the Bulls use Deng on Rose in practice? He’s the closest we have to mirror LaBron and Deng’s defense is more then admirable.
Marcus Casas</p>Sam: I also think Deng should be cooking lunch and washing the uniforms. Actually, the Bulls don’t practice much in this shortened season and as much as we love Deng, he’s no LeBron. But I think the LeBron stopping Rose stuff is way overrated. LeBron can’t guard Rose. I’d actually like to see more isolation when Miami does that as there’s no way LeBron can stay in front of Rose. You bring someone up to set a screen and then LeBron can defend him better with the help. Sure, it’s a different look and something I’d do if I were Miami. But the Cavs tried that in the playoffs in 2010 and Rose didn’t have much trouble. That’s going to be the least of the Bulls concerns if they meet the Heat again.</p>

Lol tracker...
Sam Smith
Didnt watch the 2011 ECF
LeBron is 6'8" with long arms. Who cares if Rose can go around him when LeBron is bodying him? James can back off a step or two and still close enough to contest any 3, and it gives him the distance to more than make up for Rose's speed. He destroyed Rose last year while guarding him. There are very few players in the league at this point that James is incapable of guarding.
Sure looked like he could guard Rose to me.
It rose was a better shooter, it would be pretty difficult for LBj to guard him.
Lol Sam Smith, worst than Peter Vecsey tbh.
The NBA.com site staff and the ESPN bunch apparently go to the same convention.
I agree, lebron can guard rose
He can guard a basket of Roses, but not D. Rose tbh.
Sam Smith: wrong
Boozer (PF) & Korver (SG) the bed last year. I don't expect that to change with Boozer because he's always struggled against teams with length. This is where Hamilton comes in. If he doesn't score around double digits each game, Bulls are fkd
Rip is lucky if he's fit enought to play
sam was trolling you guys
Agreed. So Heat are the obvious favorites at the moment
