Miami is just too beat up to hang with a Chicago team that should be motivated to play for Wade at home tonight. Wade left the Heat feeling disrespected, so he is sure to want to make a statement against his former team. He should have a big game while the Bulls lock down the limited Miami offense and cruise to a win.
