It’s not that I think the Wizards are a pushover, because they’re not, but I have to say the Bulls got the playoff draw that I would have preferred. By losing to Charlotte on Wednesday night the Bulls ensured they got the No. 4 seed rather than the No.3, which means that should they get to the second round they’re likely to face a faltering Pacers team rather than LeBron and the Heat.

Of course, like I said, they have to get to the second round first. And to do that they’ll have to win four of the seven scheduled games against Washington. That schedule is after the jump.
