    W with a 10 point lead the entire 4th (assuming Rose's ankle is ok).

    Pacers have a nice young core but I think they are done.

    We win. The Pacers have played us too tough for me to say we'll win easily, but I do think we'll control most of the game. Get better Derrick!

    As long as David Stern isn't in the stands to make sure the refs call it as one sided as they can for the Pacers, Bulls win.

    Not sure what to think. They might lose again.

    I'll predict the loss, and happily gain further "separation" from Transplant and Bullsger!

    Go Bulls!

    Interesting. I must predict the win. I don't want to see more then one more game against the Pacers. Please only game 5 and then against Hawks or Magic.

    But I'm fed up with the Pacers.

    Couldn't agree more. The Pacers have been tough, gritty and have sufficiently proven their point, whatever it may have been. It is time for them to be summarily dispatched so they can begin enjoying their offseason.

    This series has been great to watch, in spite of wanting the Bulls to just blow these guys out. Maybe we all looked beyond this series and thought a sweep was a given. Instead, the games were all so close and went down to the wire, we could have been swept if just a couple of plays had different outcomes.

    Indy deserves a LOT of credit for making all the games close, and even winning one, because they were 8th seed facing the 1st seed with the MVP and top defense and all the hype surrounding it. If they had something to prove, they did it in Chicago by nearly stealing one of the first two games (pick one), and by showing us what it looks like for the Bulls to lose a playoff game (it's ugly).

    After two games, Rose's stats were off the charts ridiculously good. He's now at 28.3 PPG on 35% shooting. He's got the sore ankle now, too. He needs help. Someone has to step up, and not for just one game.

    My prediction was 4-1. And I think that nothing is given. Not in the regular season and not in the playoffs.

    Right.

    35% shooting and 28.3 ppg. Mmh...interesting.

    He really need help and the Bulls need a healthy Rose.

    This feels like Lake Wobegon: I think everyone won.

    I'm going to wait until the Bulls have an opponent to put up the next thread.
