We're way too flawed. This isn't a good matchup for us. We'll be lucky if we steal a game or two from them I'll be happy.

Bucks sweep, Giannis obliterates teams to win it back to back.

A playoff thread featuring the Bulls? it's been too long.

Bulls have been dreadful lately, but they need the experience for them to take another step. Especially Zach and the young players, hopefully the rest has help Zach's knee, it's been a issue since he hurt vs the Warriors before the AS break. Hopefully they can get one game and put up a fight.

Derozen might just will the bulls to a win but oh god pray for vuc.

Also not sure anyone on the bulls could even begin to guard Middleton. Feel bad for the bulls they were cruising for a bit just got hurt and lost their mojo.

Easy sweep for Bucks.

Not sure what happened but Chicago is playing like one of the worst teams in the NBA. As a Bulls fan, I'm not even sure I want to watch. This will be like watching a video of your kid getting his ass kicked.

Sweep for the Bucks.

At worst it goes 5.

I love the Bulls and I want them to make a noise in the playoffs this year. I was really hyped after watching them playing great basketball at the start of the season. They were not looking great since Lonzo went down and they were up against a very healthy defending champs. This will be a Bucks sweep and Bucks in 5 at worst.

Bucks in 6 cause Derozan or Lavine could go off for a game or two. Plus I dont discount that Chicago crowd because they get up for the playoffs.

Besides the Bulls' record against the top teams, playoff environment is different and some of the Bulls players will be playing their first series against the defending champs (Lavine, maybe Lonzo, Coby, Ayo...). I say Bulls take 1 in home Bucks take the rest. Bucks in 5.

Bulls are the weakest Team in the east playoffs....

Milwaukee is going to smash this team

Bucks literally swept Chicago in their matchups, same division so that's a 4-0 for the season. Towards the end it wasn't even close.

Possibly the easiest 1st round match up, and it’s the defending champs who fall into it.

Bucks in 4.

Bucks in 5.

Would like to see the Bulls shock the world somewhat and push this series to 6 or 7. I really like Zach and Demar and Coby - and Pat Will's ascension is just beginning. Lonzo's shooting and defending is a pretty massive loss for a team that already doesn't have an abundance of shooters.

I really don't like Vuc and he's been such a disappointment in Chicago, he really needs to show up this series.

Well, the Bulls have been rebuilding and have put out some G-league rosters for the past few years. Not sure what value this comment really adds.

About as useless as saying the last time these teams met in the playoffs (2015), Bulls won in 6. Pretty Irrelevant.

I think the fact that the Bucks straight-up own the Bulls is pretty relevant when discussing the upcoming series between the Bucks and Bulls.

I'll be very surprised if the Bulls get more than 1 win this series, but no the Bucks going 69420-0 against Lauri Markkanen, Kris Dunn, and Ryan Arcidiacono isn't relevant to this upcoming series.

We didn’t forget about this play either.

I don't think the Bulls would be favored against any team playing in the post season.

If it weren't for the Lakers' shocking failure, there'd be a lot more conversation about the Bulls truly pathetic final two months of the season. Hardly a single thing has gone well for the team I root for in 2022.

I'd like to think we can steal one win at UC, maybe even one up at UCNorth, but I think the Bucks will, um, buckle down and sweep this lost team.

Who wins the series?
