I really don't derive any great pleasure from Bull L's or Wiz W's, just saying it's over.

The problem is they can't rework it the way they need to while paying that kid max money to be on a bench.

Agreed, was saying that before the series started when some of the Bulls contingent were talking ECF & maybe Rose coming back.

I didn't have enough faith in the Wizards based on history and my lack of really watching them a ton this regular season to guarantee a DC victory but thought this would be a very tough series for Chicago to win and that would likely be their ceiling.
