General playoff logistical query:

I assume that Wiz and Cavs will win their series. If Chicago continues the upset of Boston, would the Wiz play the Bulls in round 2, or would the Bulls become the opponent of the Cavs (the top remaining seed playing the lowest remaining seed)?

I'm trying to figure out how excited I should be by the Bulls' current performance.

And five seconds on Google got me my answer. So I guess I'm now pretty excited that the Bulls are kicking leprechaun tail.

If the Bulls play this well they'll defeat the Wizards IMO.

That's not an eighth seed. They are in record only the eighth seed.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Disagree here, too much top end talent on the Wizards. Wall > Butler, Beal > Old Wade, Porter > Old Rondo. And if Gortat OR Keef show up the way they did in R1G1? Game, blouses. I'd take the good guys 10/10. I just hope that it's only the fans salivating on the second round, and the players are focused on Game 2 of Round 1.

This Bulls team is deeply flawed. They don't scare anyone. Boston just sucks. Weakest one seed in a long time.

Yeah, I think the Bulls are taking advantage of Isiah Thomas's lack of defense. They can't hide him on Rondo/Wade/Butler. Series still isn't over but it certainly isn't looking good either.

For all guys defending Brad Stevens how great he is...
""Brad Stevens has worst playoff winning percentage in NBA history."" Enough said.
You can't explain it by roster Wittman with less experienced team won with Bulls and stole 2 games against strong Indiana. They won 2 games during 3 years in playoffs. Embarassing

You probably shouldn't jinx the Wizards, they still have to get three wins.

If I were in 3rd grade, then I might worry about issues like jinxes. Being 1) able to watch basketball and 2) an adult, I assume the Wiz will win their series.

Nah. Bulls are simply exposing a soft Celtics team (which we already knew they were soft ever since punking them in that funeral game)

They won't be able to do this against Washington.

These are the Wizards. We have The Curse 'O Les Boulez. Tread gently my friend. :)

I may be misunderstanding your comment, but this is a seven game series. They have to get 4 wins.

And in regards to how well the Bulls are playing: The Wizards bench is awful, but the Bulls bench appears to be even worse. I don't see any reason why we should fear facing them the way CCJ seems to fear them.
Viva le tank! At this pace, it will never end.

At the time I posted this the Wizards had one win, so they needed three more..
