| | On the Beat: Miami Heat |
 | | It all has to do with Dwyane's injury and how it exposed the Heat for what it is. When the Heat won the title last year, they needed a great, great, great, great, once-in-a-generation type of performance from Wade, who not only scored but drew the attention of every defender and made his teammates relevant. |
 | | So the Heat's playing the Bulls in the first round instead of the conference finals, which basically means the team is going through the postseason in reverse. |
 | | The Heat's getting the toughest test first, a Bulls team that plays Miami tough, has the homecourt edge to boot and is getting the Heat before it gets into any sort of playoff rhythm. |
