I'm leaning towards Bulls in 6

Poll please. Wizards in 6. Bulls play great defense but their offense can't keep up. Wall needs to attack, attack, attack and open up the floor for the Wizards great 3 point shooters. Wizards won the season series 2-1 and the only game they didn't win Nene wasn't playing.

This is going to be a series of differing styles, and should be interesting if anything. I say Bulls in 5 but expect it to be fun.

Homer mode wiz in six

our starting guards will outscore theirs.. but theirs will have an overall better floor game. Their forwards will slightly outscore ours but our forwards will have a better floor game. Noah will outrebound gortat and slightly outscore. X factors for them will be Taj Gibson and Dj augustin in a very short bench.

wizards have played them thrice this season and beaten them twice.. One was very close 96-93. The other two games were routs in either direction but I dont think are reflective of whats going to happen cause each team had their excuses..(back to back and deng trade.)

either way feel better about playing Bulls than toronto. I dont think bulls have the horses but they somehow play out their mind. The bulls defense I think in general is geared towards stopping high scoring wings..Thats not our game. Ariza, beal and Martell have to hit threes and wall has to play out his mind and somehow has to make augustin inneficient. Id prefer temple but I think Andre miller will be the backup pg

I like both of these two teams quite a bit but I don't think Washington is quite ready.

How will Wall and Beal handle the attention Chicago will hand out on them? Will the Bulls look ahead and overlook Washington? I doubt it.

Also, Wittman vs Thibs.... Uh, yeah. I think Bulls will take this in 5.

Bulls in 5. I think their experience will be the edge. Wall and Beal have not experienced the postseason.

I'm going against the grain a bit and taking Wiz in 6. I don't like teams that can't score come playoff time and the Bulls are going to be in the 80s/low 90s a lot. Wall and Beal are inexperienced but dangerous

Trevor Ariza....

This is xfactor for this series....If he plays good wizards for the sweep
Pay your beals....or its lights out!!!
Bron, Bosh, Wade is like Mike, Hakeem, barkley...3 top 5 picks from same draft
mike, hakeem and Barkley on the same team!!!!

It's going to be a long series regardless. The Bulls aren't close to having a talented enough roster to beat the Wiz in 5 games. By the same token, the Wiz don't have the experience or coaching to dispatch the Bulls in short order either.

Wiz in 7, I think talent wins out.

I have no confidence in anything, ever.

Bulls in 7, just because I'm a homer.

Wiz ain't no joke.
