    At the very beginning of the season you would laugh at a prediction of the bulls reaching the playoffs or even going over the.500 mark. But now they seem to be smashing the wizards in the playoffs, <u>do you think this series will be "swept" by the bulls?</u> I think it would be a shame to see the wizards go out in the first round and also a blow to the wizards confidence. My prediction (4-1)

    Its hard to say since we havent been to washington. Playing there is really gonna test the bulls. The wiz look good on paper but the only guy who is truely tuff on ur squad is Gilbert. At the end of game to he was the only guy that thought they could still win. Even after the bulls stopped playing and the wiz stopped playing who was still scoring? Gilbert was. It wasnt until Hinrich answered his surge with some offence of his own that he was sure the game was thru. The only guy I respect on that team is Gilbert and even brown. At least brown tried to contribute to the game when he got touches.

    Will the Wiz be swept? Its a possability but it wont be because of Gilbert. Huges defence was Sh!tty most of Hinrich 3's were uncontested. And Im sure that jamison wont utter a word if he does he should be sat out.

    That kind of reminds me when the bulls played the heat in the eastern confrence finals and after they were down 3-0 ZO guarnteed a win. ZO scored nearly 40 points in that game but the bulls still won. Zo never lost faith, but his team did and they got swept.
    But i feel your pain because both of our cities havent had a team doing positive things in years that includes all sports. You put all your hope into 1 team and they cant even put forth effort as a team it must be frustated because if it was the Bulls I'd be furious.

    We are really struggling. One night Arenas scores like 9 and shoots around 10 percent, than he scores 39 and shoots over 50 percent. But how did Hughes end up being the only player in the game with 10 rebounds? They really took it to us in the second quarter outscoring us by 17.

    Well you could also say in the beginning of the season, most people would not have predicted the Wizards to win 45 games themselves. The Wizards have a few problems, no defense, weak coaching and execution, and one of their Top scores in Jamison being soft and a defensive liablity.

    The role players also need to start producing, and all of Juan Dixon's shots need to start going to Kwame. Kwame can score and battle against the Bulsl frontcourt, but no one gives him the ball, and mainly because EJ does not stress giving the big's the ball at all. Etan Thomas looked horrible last game to me, and Haywood was still injured towards the end of the season, so I'll cut him slack, he's not actually 100%.
