The Chicago Bulls are looking to prove that they have put together a team that can compete in the NBA Playoffs. Let’s see if they’ve done just that.
It’s been a few years since the Chicago Bulls were able to make the NBA Playoffs, but they’re back this season.
The 2016-2017 NBA season was the last time the Bulls were able to get to the playoffs. Following that season, the Bulls kind of dropped off a bit after frequently putting together playoff teams for most of the late 2000’s through the mid 2010’s.
With the playoff drought over, the Bulls will get the pleasure of taking on a team that could be a title contender this year. The Bulls will get to face off against the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the 2022 playoffs. That should be fun given the tension that has developed between the two teams this year.
Here’s what the Bulls’ playoff schedule looks like:
Chicago Bulls: 2022 NBA playoffs schedule
This year, the first round of the NBA Playoffs will have the facing the Bucks. Games 1 and 2 are slated to take place in the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee while games 3 and 4 will happen in the United Center in Chicago.
Here’s Chicago’s first round series schedule:
- Game 1: Sunday, April 17 at 6:30 p.m. ET (in Milwaukee)
- Game 2: Wednesday, April 20 at 9:30 p.m. ET (in Milwaukee)
- Game 3: Friday , April 22 at 8:30 p.m. ET (in Chicago)
- Game 4: Sunday, April 24 at 1 p.m. ET (in Chicago)
- Game 5 (if necessary): TBD
- Game 6 (if necessary): TBD
- Game 7 (if necessary): TBD
Games 5 through 7 may not be necessary, so the times for those games have yet to be set. If they are necessary, game 5 is going to happen in Milwaukee, game 6 in Chicago, and then game 7 back in Milwaukee.
If the Bulls are able to get past the Bucks and advance on to the next round of the NBA Playoffs, this will be updated with more information about their schedule for their next opponent and the next series.
