3. Game 5&6 Of The Eastern Conference Semifinals (Chicago Bulls vs. Cleveland Cavaliers)
Cleveland was able to prove that no matter who goes down due to injury or who is cold that night, they are a team who can go down to the bench to look for someone to step up. Prime example are Timofey Mozgov and the Aussie guard known as Matthew Dellavedova. When Uncle Drew aka Kyrie Irving went down with a injury, it was the stellar play in Dellavedova that gave Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau fits as he was able to make impressive play after play. The Cavs were able to turn to Matthew who knocked down some tough three pointers while making the right decisions and plays during their pick and roll sets. Finishing the series clinching game with 19 points, Dellavedova is a prime example for young ballers worldwide to always be ready when your name is called. As far as Chicago, the future still remains bright. With D. Rose slowly getting back to his old self, the Bulls need to figure out how to keep their rising star in Jimmy Butler. The NBA’s Most Improved Player is due for a max contract and as much of a scrappy defender and elusive scorer he is for Chi-town, the Bulls better pull all the necessary moves to keep him involved in the organization to build a even stronger chemistry for next year. With some key slept on prospects who can be a perfect addition to the tough, scrappy Chicago unit, a young defensive minded yet intelligent scorer in James Anderson from the University of Virginia can be the perfect fit for the dominant playoff contenders. Chicago, you are on the clock.
