Werd. It's not easy losing 2 starters. Curry was just starting to make an impact this year! And Deng is fckn awesome.

The key here is if the Bulls can play like how they did in the final quarters of last game from start to finish in Washington...

If they can sustain that kind of quality of play, they have a shot at winning it...

I'm pullin for chicago, but either way it will be Miami and Detroit in the East finals.

The west is iffy, I'll say Phoenix and San Antonio reach the finals there (but I'll be pulling for the Sonics)

Phx vs Seattle for the WCF would be an awesome series.

Don't get me wrong Yumchah. I don't like the Wizards.

But things don't look too good for the Bulls for sure.

No, things will never look good for any team missing a 20+ppg center (Curry) and productive forward (Deng)...

But, the Bulls did win two games before and so, they have the ability to win. I still gotta believe!

20+ppg? Do you mean points??? Try a little under 17.

the wizards have shown improvement but losing that lead in the 4th quarter almost gave me a heart attack.

even if we don't advance i think that this was a great year for the wizards in a long time.

it feels good to actually want to watch your local nba team.

Has Tmac played in the playoffs before? Seems like he has a lot of pent up energy from missing the playoffs so many times.

I can remember in one of the regular season game this year TMac scored 13 points in the last 35 seconds of the 4th quarter. He is that good.

Oh snap! I didn't have the exact stats in front of me for Curry on his point-per-game numbers...

But, still...17 is an awful lot to replace. That and plus he takes up real-estate in the paint, someone no one on the Bulls has right now...

The Bulls lost the game because of their stupidity. Kirk, do you have a left hand? He got bitched hard on that layup in the 4th. Why was Chandler shooting a 2 point shot with less than 10 seconds left? Stupid basketball. Overall, it was a good experience for them and they will be back next year. IMO, if Curry and Deng were healthy, this series would have been a cakewalk for the Bulls.

Some real stupid mistakes. But I'm not really disappointed, Miami would have KILLED them anyways. Kirk should have gave it up after the great steal....and Chandler... omg.. what an idiot... that's almost up there with Weber calling a timeout. lol.... anyways, the bulls were making some dumb mistakes in the last 10 minutes, taking alot of quick shots.
