It is not very often that a regular season contest in late January feels like a Playoff game; but that type of atmosphere filled the air at the American Airlines Center on Sunday afternoon as the Miami Heat welcomed the Chicago Bulls to South Beach. The game was a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference Finals as well as featuring the teams with the two top records in the conference so far this season.

The two clubs were separated by a single point with 13 seconds until Mario Chalmers and Chris Bosh made critical shots at the charity stripe giving the Heat the win by a final score of 97-93.
LeBron James racked up a double-double including a game high 35 points for Miami while Chris Bosh also recorded a double-double with 24 points for the afternoon. Derrick Rose led the way for the Bulls with 34 points, but it would not b...

Holy cow.
Say what you will about Lebron James but this is what makes him incredible and likable in a pure basketball aspect. Name me five players all time who could do this? I just feel bad for John, but at least he is in the NBA right.

I wrote before the regular season that I believed that the Bulls were the most complete team this year in the Association; and Sunday's game did not change my mind. Not only were your boys without Deng; but let's remember Rose is far from 100% right now as he is suffering from turf-toe. I don't see the ]Bulls getting D-Howard, but Chris Kaman is available and I consider him an upgrade over Joakim. Thanks for expressing your thoughts!
