To Quote the famous Commandant Hilts, " How the fuck did this happen"? The Bulls went from number two seed to number five in an instant. They now have the unenviable match up with the Heat. This incarnation of the Bulls have always played the Heat well, but this Heat season is quite bizarre.
The Heat begin the season with Shaq out, then Riley goes out, and then the season ending injury that wasn't hits Wade. All this led to a well rested and very resurgent late season rally for the Heat. The most important factor that can be gleaned from their season is that Shaq can still play hard every night if he is forced to or feels like it.
Where does this leave the Bulls? In a seven game series, the Heat definitely have the advantage. Shaq will wear down our frontline as they double team him. Though Wade hasn't been the same since the injury, he is still the most clutch player in the East.
Ah, playoff Basketball, what a time. The good players become great and the great players become immortal. Miami has two immortals already, but the Bulls have nothing to lose. If they go out in the first round, it will be said that they had the unfortunate match up of meeting last years champs. Statistically it looks very bad for the Bulls. Champions are rarely defeated in the first round under the current playoff system.
Bulls in Six!
