It could be elimination night in the conference semifinals and the Miami Heat start off the evening by attempting to close out the Chicago Bulls in Game 5.
The Heat have completely locked down Chicago defensively, and despite the Bulls' occasional attempts to turn the last three games into brawls, Miami has been able to put together a solid offensive attack. Each game has been decided by double-digit points.
With injuries decimating Chicago and the return of Derrick Rose completely unlikely at this point, it seems that the Bulls are going to have to continue relying on a seven-player rotation for the fifth game of this series.
Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler has hardly had a rest in the first four games of the series. Head coach Tom Thibodeau has generally not dug deep into the bench until the game gets way out of hand.
Going into Game 5, Chicago is going to have to flash back to what worked in Game 1. Unfortunately, that would mean the Heat struggling mightily on the offensive end.
Expect another struggle between two teams that seem to genuinely dislike each other. The outcome could be anything from a nail-biter to a complete blowout for Miami.
