Playoffs around the league

After Saturday’s near loss, I thought the Bulls playing poorly in the first round might be an interesting talking point for today.   They’re just a blip on the radar because for the first time in the history of the NBA, the 1 and 2 seed of the same conference both lost their first game.  ...
