The Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls Play in the Eastern Conference Finals
The Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls Play in the Eastern Conference FinalsThe Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls are the only two teams standing in the Eastern Conference and they will play for the right to win a NBA Championship.


Although no longer coaching, Heat president Pat Riley found a way to offer his unique brand of motivation during the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series the Heat closed out 4-1 with Wednesday's 97-87 victory over the Celtics at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Over the course of the series, Riley made a point of seeking out team leaders Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. Three times while coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Riley guided teams against the Celtics in the NBA Finals. That resonated with Riley's players during this latest challenge against the Celtics.

While Riley has observed practices throughout the season, only during the playoffs does he routinely travel with the team. That put him in Boston alongside his superstars. Now this team will play the Bulls a team they failed to beat during the regular season.

The Heat is being criticized for celebrating too much over a second-round victory against the hobbled Celtics, who didn’t even have their best lineup on the floor as they bobbled and clunked their chances to hold their lead.

LeBron James is being criticized for waiting too long and for dropping the apology in among his postgame comments, but give him credit for having the guts to say he’s sorry. Now the team will get some heavy scrutiny when the play the Bulls.

The Bulls have the MVP in Derrick Rose and the home court advantage, since they had a better regular season record. This will be the edge the Bulls need in game one as they take down the Heat to start the series.
