One season ago, the Miami Heat posted the top record in the Eastern Conference and advanced to the conference finals before succumbing to the Boston Celtics. More success was expected this season, but the Heat have been underachievers. And worse, Miami will miss the NBA playoffs if it should lose to the visiting Chicago Bulls on Friday in the play-in round. Chicago advanced by recording a 109-105 comeback victory over the host Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. The Bulls should be confident in the winner-take-all scenario as they are 3-0 against the Heat this season, including two wins in Miami.
