Chicagoist is pretty sure we witnessed the birth of a couple of superstars Tuesday night, as Loul Deng and Ben Gordon teamed up to cool off the Heat once again. With their 107-89 victory Tuesday night, the Bulls took a 2-0 lead in the best of seven series.

One night, one game, but three seeds lost on the final night of the NBA's regular season for the Bulls. Heading into the final game, the Bulls had the upper hand in winning the second seed in the Eastern Conference. All they had to do was win. Or Cleveland had to lose. But neither came to fruition.

The Bulls tricked the Miami Heat and treated their fans to a 42-point blowout of the defending NBA Champs, on the same night the champs hung their banner and received their rings. Is the 108-66 victory a sign of things to come for the Bulls' 2006-2007 season? Maybe... After two straight playoff appearances, but also two straight first-round eliminations, the Bulls are poised to compete for the Eastern Conference title this season. We're not saying...

The Miami Heat, led by the Shaquille O'Neal of old (30 points, 20 rebounds) overwhelmed the Bulls at the UC last night, winning 113-96. We began to appreciate just how well Tyson Chandler played defense against Shaq, before spraining his ankle -- he had another subpar night, playing just 18 minutes as foul trouble again plagued him. Nocioni, Gordon and Hinrich each contributed 20+ points of offense, once again, but it wasn't enough to keep...

While the Bulls' Tyson Chandler played, after suffering a serious-looking ankle sprain in Game 4, he only played 5 minutes. While he said he felt well enough to play, his inability to get into the flow of the game resulted in 5 quick fouls in less than 5 minutes on the court. Hopefully, his ankle will feel better in Game 6. The Heat also face a player dealing with injury. Dwyane Wade went down hard on his hip late in the first half. While he returned and scored 28 points, his hip continues to bother him. He expects to play, but will he suffer the same effects that plagued Chandler? Bulls fans can only hope so.

Seven seeds are supposed to pretty much roll over and play dead when facing a second seed, but the Bulls apparently didn't get that memo.

The Bulls dug themselves an 0-2 hole in their best-of-7 first-round playoff series with the Miami Heat, after last night's 115-108 loss. They lost the series opener 111-106.

The final day of the NBA season was a crazy one, at least in terms of the Eastern Conference playoff seeding. Chicagoist certainly wasn't a math major in college, so we had to wait for the media to explain to use the scenarios and outcomes. They could end up anywhere from 5th to 8th, depending on the outcomes of Wednesday's games.
