For a multitude of reasons, including Joakim Noah talking about his distain for Miami on various occasions, the Heat and the Bulls have become rivals over the years. Just as Heat Nation does not seem too fond of the Windy City, Chicago fans have come to despise South Beach.

But this final meeting may not be as intense as previous ones.

Right now, the Bulls are currently fighting for their lives.

After an abysmal season, Chicago now holds a 39-38 record, putting them ninth in the East. Between adjusting to a new coach, injuries across the board and an overall sense of zero heart, nothing has worked as planned for the Bulls this year.

Miami has already beat Chicago three times this season, once in January and twice in March.

And on top of this, Derrick Rose is suffering from a hyperextended left elbow, while Taj Gibson has a fractured rib.

The Bulls have a tendency to play better against better teams, but even so, the Heat should have this one in the bag.
