Heat set to scorch Bulls in Game 1
The Miami Heat were literally minutes away from reaching the NBA Finals last season. Shaq and company begin their title quest this year against the Chicago Bulls in a Game 1 matchup on Saturday.
Miami boasted a 52-30 record during the regular season, while the Bulls slipped into the playoffs with a mediocre, 41-41 mark.
Oddsmakers like Miami in this contest, opening them as 7-point home favorites. The game's total opened at 194 points.
The Heat won two of three games against the Bulls this season, and will be looking to keep Shaq and Dwyane Wade healthy throughout their playoff run.
Ben Gordon and the Bulls feel they have momentum on their side in this series, as a recent road trip through Florida saw them pick up wins against both Orlando and Miami.
