I think the Bulls are going to come back and win the series

The Bulls' season will not end in Washington this weekend.



The Bulls aren't just going to lie down, and let's not forget Washington needed late-game rallies to get both of its wins in Chicago. It was a spectacular start for the Wizards, but this Bulls team will be a tough out.

The Bulls have too little quit in them not to take a game, even if it is on the road.

I've counted Chicago out prematurely too many times. With some adjustments, and a desperate level of effort on defense, I think they'll win one of the next two games.

Chicago's season won't end in Washington via a sweep. I have the Wizards winning Game 3 but the Bulls giving one last-ditch effort and stealing Game 4. Game 5, in Chicago, will be a hard-fought contest, just as the first two have been so far, and the Bulls will survive to play a Game 6. So, on its second trip to Washington, Chicago's season will end, just as I predicted from the start.

As good as the Wiz are playing -- and I think Wall could explode in one of these next two home games -- I can't see a Tom Thibodeau team getting swept. The Wizards are still in uncharted territory for this young squad. The Bulls should be able to get back to Chicago for a Game 5.
