The Bulls have not lost the first game of an opening-roundplayoff series in the '90s (they are 21-2 in the round in thedecade). One school of thought around the NBA holds that the onlygame more important than the opener in these best-of-five miniseriesis Game 5, if things get that far.
Despite all of the hype about Washington's young legs and strongfinish in the regular season, there is no reason to think MichaelJordan and Co. are going to reverse their winning pattern tonight.The Bullets, especially point guard Rod Strickland, are capable ofgiving the Bulls fits throughout, but in the end, Jordan's restedfire will be too much to overcome. Big nights from Luc Longley,Randy Brown or Steve Kerr would be enormous.
Jim O'Donnell's prediction: Bulls 99, Bullets 93.
