I just hope they will play as hard as they did tonight at full strength for all 7 games with home court advantage. I would love nothing more than to beat Miami in the playoffs.

Rose was out with a groin sprain from the game against New York on Monday. Lucas played lights out and the Bulls held on to win although Miami made it close after being down by double digits for most of the night.
We've yet to see this Bulls team at full strength. It will be interesting to see if Rip Hamilton could make the difference for the Bulls in a seven game series with the Heat when the conference finals roll around
