Heat at Bulls 4/9 @ 8 PM ET

A must win game against the Bulls in the hunt of the 8th seed.

This game may define the playoff presence of the Heat.

Bulls play as a top team right now but the Heat can beat them in their home.

I expect Wiggins to return in this game and hope the whole team will be ready for this challenge against Bulls.

Some important games tonight.
Heat want

Hawks to lose from Magic
Bulls to lose from Cavalliers
Suns to beat Warriors

If the Heat need to win in Chicago now for a chance to get home court for the 9 v 10 game to ultimately avoid having to win in Chicago for the play in game, while coughing up the 9th best lotto odds (4.5% chance at #1, 20.3% of top 4) for possibly 12th best odds (1.5% chance at #1, 7.1% of top 4) if Phoenix and Portland don't tank, is it worth it? Not sure.

Also can just rest guys then with ailments

You know what - Portland and Phoenix are both playing Warriors, and either Lakers or OKC in their final games.

Forget that, we are only probably jockeying one position in the lotto, and if Chicago ends up the 10th seed and beats us, they probably go to the playoffs vs loser of 7-8 and positions are the same. Let's go

All these games leading up to play in are pretty much playoff like games for us. We’re gonna be the most focused team heading into the postseason. Basically guaranteeing a deep run.

Hawks lost
Bulls lost
Suns are the worst team in the league right now

So, Heat have a big chance to be 8th if they beat Bulls today.
It will be a lot easier to win 1 of 2 games than to win 2 games in play in.

They have to give it all in this game.
It is a playoff game for Miami and a test what this team can do.

Definitely starting to think Kevin Love is dealing with some mental or emotional health issues. Not like he'd get much play anyway, but still. Kinda sad if so.

Burks has been very good since coming into the starting lineup

3ammy3uck3ts · Post #18 » by **3ammy3uck3ts** » Thu Apr 10, 2025 12:18 am

Is Burks the best SG in Heat history?

3ammy3uck3ts · Post #19 » by **3ammy3uck3ts** » Thu Apr 10, 2025 12:20 am

Is Bam the best shooter in Heat history?
