I hate to say this as a Bulls fan, but clean Milwaukee sweep. I don't recall ever seeing the Bulls start off so strong and be contenders to falling off a cliff the second half because of injuries.

Lonzo isn't an elite PG but it's really difficult to take away the caliber of his offensive creation for the rest of the team.

I think this is a sweep for the Bucks. Maybe the Bulls steal one game where their top 3 are firing on all cylinders, but that's about it.

Wouldn't be surprised if Bucks sweep. The Bulls just aren't that good and they have some serious defensive liabilities in their starting 5

Bucks in 6. I think Chicago will scratch and claw their way to a game 6. Really really wish they were healthy so we could see what that series looked like. They were a team I found myself rooting for throughout the year

As a Bulls fan I voted Bucks in 5. The Bucks are something like 14-1 agains the Bulls in their past 15 meetings, and the Bulls have been terrible lately, but I think the Bulls take 1 game.

Bucks in 5. My pick to come out of the east.

If I were a betting man, I'd put a huge sum of money on the Bucks because there's just no way the Bulls can beat them 4 times. I don't even think the Bulls could beat them if Giannis sits, they just look nothing like the team from earlier this season, they've lost all confidence and defensively they're a mess.

In an ideal world, when the Bulls are about to be eliminated, Carusso will give Allen a playoff ending injury

Bucks tricked me into being a diehard in 2001, LeBron is the 2nd best player ever, and pizza is awesome.

The Bulls had a great season derailed by injuries, but this is looking like the least competitive series on paper this year.

No offense to the Bulls who had a pretty good season, but the top seeds in the East were really angling for a first-round matchup with them. They just don't inspire confidence as a contender when they have like a 2-20 record against other contending teams.

Bucks will probably sweep them, but I won't be surprised if the Bulls steal a game. This would've been an awesome series if the Bulls had their full complement of players.

Ez sweep. Bulls are struggling hard, they have absolutely no matchup for Giannis and i have seen enough Derozan to know what he's like in the playoffs.

Bucks in 4. Maybe a gentleman sweep.

DeRozan's playoff woes continue.

I'll be cheering for Deebo, but I don't see this going more than 5 games, in the Bucks favour.

Defending champs. Zach Lavine’s first playoffs. DeRozan and Vucevic aren’t very good playoff performers. I don’t think this is the year for the Bulls.
