--------------------------------------------------------------
The Miami Heat travel to Chicago where they will face the Bulls in Game 4 of the best of seven series. If you can't watch the game or listen to it on the radio, check out the live score available here.
The Bulls need this one if they plan on having a chance in this postseason. They have played competitive ball. They didn't win Game 3, but they forced the Heat to play all the way until the end. Chicago's style of physical ball has affected their concentration in Games 2 & 3 or at least their tempers.
Had Nazr Mohammed kept himself in the game, then maybe the Bulls would have had enough bodies to properly rotate and mix and match players for proper rest. This in turn could have helped the Bulls win in Game 3, a game which they lost late as Chris Bosh, Norris Cole and LeBron James put the game out of reach.
As you can see, Dwyane Wade was not in that mix and many are wondering if his knee problems are more urgent than anticipated. He did miss a wide open dunk in Game 1 and he lacked explosion which affected his elevation as he bricked an easy jam. Luckily for the Heat, the Bulls are lacking the right players to fully challenge them in this series.
Joakim Noah has been given the Bulls all he can by grabbing offensive rebounds and giving his team second chance opportunities. Nate Robinson and Marco Belinelli have been doing a great job in the starter role, though they are usual bench players.
