In a strange twist it was Washington that made quick work of their opponent in their round 1 series. Meanwhile even though Indiana ultimately put away Atlanta, they certainly did not look like a top team in the process.
Despite fears of the worst when Derrick Rose was hurt and Luol Deng was trade the Bulls made the playoffs and are officially the team that nobody want to play in the East. Good luck Washington.
Indiana may be limping into the playoffs but they are doing it as the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Speaking of limping the Atlanta Hawks were doing that too making them look like the perfect first round opponent for the struggling Pacers.
