Oh, and of course, Derrick Rose is out tonight, just like every other game this season and postseason. https://twitter.com/IraHeatBeat/status/331423506615136257
I fear a big loss tonight. But perhaps I'm totally wrong. But a series against a healthy Heat team is tough. And the Bulls missing Rose, Hinrich and Deng. Not good... Go Bulls!
Thibs says Hinrich is out tonight. He's hopeful that Deng will fly to Miami tomorrow. https://twitter.com/NickFriedell/status/331522195010506752
