Fingers Crossed

The NBA playoffs are here! We love this game! But for real, we’ll love it more if the Heat can get by the Bulls in the first round. The way it looks, if the Heat loses game six, it could be the last time they play at home this season...

The NBA playoffs are here! We love this game! But for real, we’ll love it more if the Heat can get by the Bulls in the first round. The way it looks, if the Heat loses game six, it could be the last time they play at home this season. Fear not. The stakes are high and the Heat are poised to whip out their matador skills to put the Bulls down once and for all. You just gotta believe.

With fro-sporting brave heart Ben Wallace now leading the Bulls, game six has all the makings for a truly epic battle. If there is a single basketball game you must see all year, this is the one. Tip-off is 8:00 p.m. If you can get playoff tickets, they range from $12 to $375. Otherwise you can pull up a stool at your favorite neighborhood bar, or beat up a scalper and take his tickets. Good luck with that.
