Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh said Thursday he and his teammates don't care what Charles Barkley and others say about them after Barkley recently opined that the Chicago Bulls are better than the Heat. The first-place Bulls hold a three-game lead on the Heat in the Eastern Conference standings heading into their meeting in Chicago on Thursday night. The Heat have played two fewer games than the Bulls. "Not at all (do we care)," Bosh said after the Heat's shootaround on Thursday. "People are going to have their opinions, and you can have them. That's great. But you still have to go out there and play the game. It doesn't matter who thinks who is better, who is the underdog, who is the favorite. You still have to go out there and play the game. And you have to play a series when it's all said and done, so it's a series of games." Barkley was a guest on the "Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000 in Chicago on Wednesday and stated the Bulls had overtaken the Heat as the top team in the East. A year ago, the Heat defeated the Bulls in five games in the conference finals. "People talk about how they played the Bulls last year, if you go back and look at those games, every one of those games was tied with two minutes to go," Barkley said. "Every one of those games. And if Rip Hamilton can play anything like he played (Tuesday), I think the Bulls have a really good chance against the Heat. I do. I like that team. "I think the Bulls are better."
