Miami v Chicago

[jb]

Heat is pretty physical & serving notice. Message is starting to get sent. Can da Bulls respond?

The Heat have already lost to a Roseless Bull and a Bulls team that played with him shooting 1-14 coming off of injury. Add that to the recent Boston beat downs and the Heat need this win more than anyone.

That is why their starting lineup (third in a week) hadn't played a single second together this year.

Just saying I don't recall El Heat playing with that physicality.

All I can say after watching Chicago this season, is damn, can Thibs coach.

Best defense in the league, fine - but Christ, do they EXECUTE with minimal offensive talent. Score after every stoppage of play.

The two best coaches in the league at running inbounds plays are Thibs and Doc. There isn't even any arguing this.
