Playoff Prep: Sixers/Nets, Warriors/Kings
Play-In Prep: Bulls/Heat, Thunder/Timberwolves

The Chicago Bulls haven’t lost to the Miami Heat in three tries this season, which likely means the Heat will handily down Chicago on Friday evening. Kyle Lowry was “questionable” in his team’s first Play-In, hamstrung by a combination of fluids and floating elements in his left knee, he ended up torching the Atlanta Hawks for 33 points on 16 shots.
In Chicago’s case, Kevin Love and Victor Oladipo will line up their trips returning the clock to wherever they’d like it — 2016, 2018 — taking their time whupping on our Bulls.
Why do I expect the ball going through Leon Durham’s legs in Miami? Because of Jimmy Butler. Because the best player on the floor used to be a Bull, this is how the universe balances itself in spite of its eagerness to expand.
