The Heat is On... Literally

Taj Abusing Wade

Miami took down the big, bad Celtics in 5 games which was then followed by a championship winning-like celebration just without the black, red & orange confetti.  Now the Celtics was the reigning Eastern Conference Champions, but a championship was not won that day.  Now Chicago, who seemed to struggle some against the Pacers & Hawks, blew Miami out by doing what they do best...  Playing defense.  At halftime, both teams were nodded at 48, but Chicago went on a 10-0 run midway through the 3rd quarter that energized the United Center and was the beginning to the end of the Heat chances to steal game 1.  Chris Bosh had a great game with 30 points & 9 boards, but only getting a combined 33 points from Wade & LeBron is not going to win them any games this series.  Chicago plays championship defense, so the series will be dictated by how Wade & LeBron will take advantage of the Bulls aggressive play on on defense.  Game 1 was a failure, but Miami's job was to get the split and I feel they are more than capable to pull it out.  Luol Deng & MVP Derrick Rose out-scored the Wade & LeBron tandom 49 to 33.  Expect those numbers to be much closer in game 2.
