Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls Game 5 Tonight, Derrick Rose to Play, Wade to Sit Tonight? Watch on TNT
The NBA Eastern Conference Semi-Finals continue tonight on TNT with Game 5 of the Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls have been the inspirational story of the NBA playoffs this year so far with their MVP team leader Derrick Rose sidelined with his leg injury.
Not only has Rose not played all year, or in the playoffs after being cleared to play two ago, which is becoming a sore spot for Bulls fans, but most every player in the Bulls rotation has been injured or out sick for multiple games in the playoffs.
With all of the injuries, sicknesses and players in and out of the Bulls line-up, they mounted a game 7 win against the Brooklyn Nets to advance out of the first round thanks to a huge series by Nate Robinson.
After pulling off the upset series against the Nets, the Bulls rode the wave into the Eastern Semi's and took Game 1 against the superior Miami Heat, who didn't take the Bulls seriously enough and were cold off of their long wait after sweeping the Milwaukee Bucks.
Since Game 1, the Heat have beat the Bulls three straight games and now have a commanding 3-1 lead going into tonight's game in Miami.
The Bulls and Derrick Rose have handled his injury situation terribly by stringing fans along that every game he might come back and play. However, we all know that Rose has too many voices in his head to come back and play at this point and they should have just officially shut him down at the beginning of the playoffs as to not be a distraction and stop with the questioning.
The Heat star guard, Dwyane Wade, has been hobbled for most of this playoff series and is expected to sit tonight and rest up for the next round.
The Miami Heat actually have a better record with Wade not in the line-up, even though everyone knows they are a better team in a big game with Wade in the line-up.
Will the Bulls pull off another miracle and win tonight?
