The Chicago Bulls send the Heat Home with a loss of 99-96, as
LeBron James rests on the sidelines.....


It was an exciting game alright and even a tight fight with Mr. James keeping his shoes cool for the night.  Instead the game seemed to foucus on two players from Chicago's southside, one on the Heat and one on the BULLS.

Dwyane Wade from the southside was booed on the court in Chicago, but his play was almost a match for our own Derrick Rose.  Rose has 34 points on the scoreboard versus 33 for Heat's Dwyane Wade.

Derrick Martell Rose can thank his older brothers for giving him his first lessons in the game of basketball, but tonights win was a team effort.  Kyle Korver got a loose ball and brought the game home as win with a 3 point score and only 25 seconds left on the game clock.  Go Bulls..................







"To push Rose for the All-Star Game, the Bulls put placards with his picture on every seat and left roses on the writer's work table. He is currently running second among Eastern Conference guards in fan balloting."  NBA reports.
