I'd like to say I have hope, but Bucks in 4 and no game all that competitive. Please let me be wrong.

Yeah. I'm fully expecting a sweep as well, especially with no Lonzo.

I just picked the Bulls to cover. I do think this is the game they show up and play balls to the wall. If they are blown out here, it won't be pretty 2,3,4.

The Bulls have unfortunately shown no ability to compete with top teams this year. I have little faith that the series will be competitive, but then again this is the playoffs and crazier things have happened.

LOL not looking good down 9-0 a minute in.

Lid. On. Basket. Might need some subs...

IlliniFaninHoosierLand · Apr 17, 2022

Bulls keeping it a lot closer than I would have expected in Game 1. Especially with how bad their offense looked in the 1st quarter.

Agreed. Offense, defense, rebounding...everything looked horrible in that 1st quarter. Not sure how, even in the NBA, that the Bulls are in this game going into the 4th...??? My son is pretty pumped right now.

Giannis being in foul trouble has helped too. Granted LaVine has been as well but Giannis being on the bench seems to have hurt the Bucks more.

No doubt. After tonight's game, Giannis might not have another foul called him the rest of the series.

Bulls end 1st half on a 15-4 run and are up 63-49 at half. Much better performance in the first half compared to Game 1.

DeRozan leads all scorers with 17. LaVine has 14 and Vuc has 12.

Epsilon · Apr 20, 2022

Bulls self-imploding now.

IlliniFaninHoosierLand · Apr 20, 2022

This 2nd half has really been something in terms of momentum swings for each team.

IlliniFaninHoosierLand · Apr 20, 2022

Bulls win in Milwaukee?

Bulls win in Milwaukee.

DeRozan with 41 points tonight.

Series now guaranteed to come back to Milwaukee for Game 5 next Wednesday.

IlliniFaninHoosierLand · Apr 21, 2022

Middleton has an MCL sprain and he'll be reevaluated in 2 weeks so he's out for the duration of this series. Bucks are still favored for tomorrow night's game but it's only 2.5. It was around 10 or 10.5 for the first two games.

IlliniFaninHoosierLand · Apr 22, 2022

Even with the score what it is right now, something just feels right about playoff basketball at the United Center.

IlliniFaninHoosierLand · Apr 25, 2022

With the Celtics sweeping the Nets, Bulls-Bucks Game 5 in Milwaukee is officially set for a 6:30 PM start on Wednesday night.

IlliniFaninHoosierLand · Apr 27, 2022

Considering where the team was projected before the season as probably a play-in tournament team, it's still a good season overall for the Bulls. Yeah it's going to end in a bad way, especially with all the injuries, but I have faith that AK and Eversley will improve this roster heading into this offseason.
