Bulls to Play in Miami up 2-0

The Chicago Bulls will return to action tomorrow evening, facing off against he Miami Heat int he third game of their opening round series. Heading into the game on Friday, the Bulls enjoy a 2-0 lead, something that statistically is favorable for an Bulls victory in the series. The next two games will be played on enemy turf, however, and we should expect that certain deficiencies in Miami’s game will work themselves out or be minimized with the help of a friendly arena.

I’m still thinking that the Heat will have to come up with an answer for Luol Deng. Right now Deng is the one factor the Bulls have not been able to handle in either game. Eddie Jones and/or Udonis Haslem will have to do something different, or this is going to be another difficult one for the Heat.

Shaq has yet to let his full presence be felt, something that I expect will happen in both of their home games. If you believe anything about NBA conspiracy theories, then you probably will be looking for the refs to help the Bulls get back into the series. Of course, that kind of stuff is for crazies like Mark Cuban, and not those loyal StubHub.com patrons who purchase Chicago Bulls tickets.
