Rocky21 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Ball Don't Lie. The basketball gods will smite the Nets for tanking the last 4 or 5 games of the season for seeding purposes. I've seen the Wizards beat the Bulls in the NBA playoffs. Time to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 GAME 1: Sunday, April 20, 7 p.m., TNT. GAME 2: Tuesday, April 22, 9:30 p.m., TNT GAME 3: Friday, April 25, 8 p.m., ESPN GAME 4: Sunday, April 27, 1 p.m., ABC GAMES 5-7: TBD. That 9:30 start is gonna KILL me mid-week....but I'll be watching. Man, I am so pumped about this. It's been a long journey for many of us fans...but this is a true reward for sticking w/ this team when times were hard. Gotta give props to all the regulars who make this thread what it is...and to the bandwagon fans...go kick rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the Wizards beat the Bulls in the NBA playoffs. Time to do it again. This is bunk. If the Bulls had won last night, they would have been the 3 seed. So if the Nets tanked, it wasn't for seeding purposes. They had no way of knowing how the Bobcats-Bulls and Raptors-Knicks and Wizards-Celtics games were going to shake out. GAME 1: Sunday, April 20, 7 p.m., TNT. GAME 2: Tuesday, April 22, 9:30 p.m., TNT GAME 3: Friday, April 25, 8 p.m., ESPN GAME 4: Sunday, April 27, 1 p.m., ABC GAMES 5-7: TBD. Class on Monday, class on Wednesday. Early games shaking out PERFECTLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBash Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I remember the last time we won a playoff game. It was vs CLE and Butler hit a game winning layup at Cleveland. I was at Ohio U at the time so with a white t shirt, I made a quick BUTLER - 3 Jersey and wore it around campus all day. Most students didn't like that...or when I told them that Lebron was gonna leave for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 RA15, to the bandwagon fans I say welcome aboard. We need all the fan interest we can get. A lot of people jumped on board for the Nats after they went .500 for the first time. Makes the atmosphere better. The Nats feel like a big deal now. It'd be awesome if that happens for the Wizards. This team deserves to be followed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Did they benefit? I'm not sure the Bulls are better than the Raptors. The wizards struggled big time to beat the raptors, and when they did it was a near thing. We had much more success against the Bulls. I don't know about that, I like the fact that they have conferences. Nah, you can't have sub-500 teams in the dance and good teams out. Just like 45 win teams shouldn't host 55 win teams because of divisional differences. RA15, to the bandwagon fans I say welcome aboard. We need all the fan interest we can get.

EvilMonkeyBoy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 First year living in Chicago. Should I grab tickets for game 1/2 Or should I be patient and wait for us to win a game and go to a more decisive game 5+? Decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOSKINS_08 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Man its been so long since we've been in the playoffs. I remember being in Verizon center for the playoff games during Gilbert Caron and Antawn years. Place use to be electric. Hopefully it is this year too.

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Michael Wilbon....... http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story/_/id/10795867/2014-nba-playoffs-washington-wizards-ideal-matchup-chicago-bulls Wizards the ideal matchup for Bulls The Bulls couldn't have gotten a better draw, even to the point of getting a Washington Wizards team that won the regular-season series 2-1. The Wizards want the Bulls in the playoffs, set their sights on them the last few weeks of the season as they moved from seventh to fifth. The Wizards aren't shy about their feelings toward the Bulls, that they can't score enough to get in a high-octane battle, that they can't stay in front of Wall and Beal, that the Bulls physically just aren't as good as the Wizards. And that's just the kind of team the Bulls should eat for lunch in a seven-game playoff series, a team whose best two players haven't navigated the intensity of the playoffs, a team that thinks offense is somehow going to rule the day in the postseason. Yeah, the Wizards won two January games against the Bulls when they were still pulling themselves together following the trade of Luol Deng, figuring out how to incorporate D.J. Augustin, and reworking the offense around the passing talents of Joakim Noah. When the teams met April 5, the Bulls led by 26 points and won by 18. They went to Washington annoyed they'd already lost twice to the Wizards, who for the third meeting had Chicago's undivided attention. Chances are, Coach Thibs isn't going to have to dig all that deep to strike that same nerve in his players to get them ready for Games 1 and 2 in Chicago.

RonArtest15 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Someone needs to let that clown wilbon know that one of those games was a blow out...the other we beat them w/ nene going 3-15, and the loss was when Nene was hurt. This is about as even of a matchup as you can get in the East. Too close to call. Me being the homer, I'm going w/ the Wizards in 6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) I'm done with Wilbon from now on. Talking like we're a rookie finesse team when we're a top 10 defense with 5 players over 30. That's not counting Ariza who's 28 with a ring. Hater. I look at this the same way last time we saw Chicago in the playoffs: we can lose if they force us to play their game, but they can't play ours. Wizards are better team, but need to prove it. Edited April 17, 2014 by Renegade7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've been done with Wilbon for a while now. He made his name at the WashPo and starting about 5 years ago never missed a chance to distance himself from DC and slam the fans here. **** him. I hope the wizards beat his bulls badly and then go on Pardon the Interruption just to celebrate Bill Simmons decision to get his creepy ass off of NBA countdown. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
