Our defense got exposed? We allowed 90 ppg that series, damn I didn't know that was a bad thing. If anything our offense was exposed. Imbecile. 

Exactly, defensively the Bulls played as expected and delivered... but the Pacers did show how you beat their offense and that's where the Bulls will struggle in the postseason. 
While I didn't give the Hawks enough credit and expected them to lose to the Magic, I blame the Magic's awful shooters more than the Hawks great defense. The Bulls will be able to shut down the Hawks but I expect Atlanta to have a couple hot nights. 

Bulls in 6... maybe 5

Oh man Kirk out for the series...I can see it now, Jamal guarding Rose on pick and rolls with Kurt or Joakim setting bruiser screens.

I'm a big fan of Jeff Teague, if LD has any sort of brain in his head Jeff will play 35+ minutes at PG for this entire series.

anything can happen, look towards the west with SA/MEM

this is gonna be a very interesting series.

Atlanta is nowhere near as good as Memphis is.  That's not even a good comparison.  Josh Smith is going to continue to play like an idiot and shooting jumpers with 18 seconds left on the shot clock.  Bulls in 5.  Atlanta is going to have to play a team that not only actually tries to play defense but is the best in the league on defense.

no where as good as memphis....

 they got their !@* beat by us in the season with a rudy gay...fall back

Come on man, you're better than using either the first game of the season or the first game of December as a barometer for these two teams.  Especially when they were getting blown out by 20+ on a lot of night.

Welcome back bum

I been saying this but the hawks match up extremely well with the bulls and imo smoove/horford will nullify boozer/noah with maybe the advantage going to atlanta
so it comes down to if hinrich (if he ever comes back) can limit rose and if bogans(or whoever they put on him) can check joe johnson/crawford

Horford with 2 fouls Larry Drew cannot keep him on the bench for the rest of the first half
