The Chicago Bulls are coming off one of the most lopsided wins in NBA Playoff history, defeating the Bucks by a score of 120-66. It would only be natural for Chicago to suffer a let down in Game 1 of this Eastern Conference Semifinal in Cleveland. I like the Cavs to take care of business at home in Game 1.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Cavs were 29-15 at home this season, and two of those wins came against the Bulls. Chicago did not look good at all on the road in Milwaukee in Games 3 & 4 of their first round series, and it's not going to be easy against a well rested Cavs team in Game 1.

2. LeBron James - The King averaged 27 points in a four game sweep of Boston, and he averaged over 28 points in four games against the Bulls during the regular season.

3. X-Factor - Derrick Rose was wildly inconsistent in the first round, and he shot just 38.1% from the field in the five games.

Selection: This is a play on the Cleveland Cavaliers (5*)
