Cleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls Playoffs match will only start on Monday and for that, Lebron James is already feeling bored. The Cavs superstar is not a fan of waiting.

However, he had to wait a little longer as Bulls' series with Milwaukee took a little longer while his team easily swept Boston Celtics.

"This is challenging for me," LeBron James told Cleveland.com. "I have a lot of energy and I'm getting bored. I'm ready to play. I'm challenged for my patience."

Many fans treat Cleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls playoffs match up as the most exciting in the Eastern Conference as it will feature two of three players who won the NBA MVP in the last five years. Lebron James won the highest individual award in 2008 and 2009. His streak was cut by Derrick Rose in 2010-11 season but then Lebron won the next two again.

In an interview with ESPN, Derrick Rose expressed his excitement for the Cleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls playoffs showdown. He even thinks this is their best chance to redeem themselves from previous playoffs failure.

"I think so," Derrick Rose said shortly after their win against Milwaukee Bucks. "But it's no excuses. It's no excuses. When you're in the playoffs, the guys that you have on your team, the guys that I had on my team in the past, at the time I wouldn't have traded them for anything in the world. We was in a battle, we just lost to them in a series a couple of times so we get a chance to redeem ourselves and really go out there and compete again."

The problem though in the Cleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls Playoffs match up is that fans won't see one party in their best form. Cavs lost All-Star forward Kevin Love to shoulder injury during the series against Boston Celtics and shooting guard will also sit out the first game against Chicago Bulls for flagrant foul against Celtics' Jae Crowder.
