After a heart-breaking Eastern Conference Finals series defeat the the Heat, the Bulls are anxiously awaiting their chance at revenge against Miami when the NBA resumes play in three or four years from its impending labor stoppage this summer.

In each of the Bulls' last three losses to Miami, LeBron James has taken control down the stretch, hitting big shots to ice a late victory. That's not going to happen tonight, according to Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau, who has ordered injured 12th man Brian Scalabrine to handcuff himself to the Heat superstar before Game 5 at the United Center.

"We all thought the guy made a deal with the devil when he signed with the Heat," said TNT analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley. "But now it turns out he actually is the devil. That's just turrible."

A day after shouting a homophobic slur at a fan in Miami, Bulls big man Joakim Noah apologized and said he feels "totally retarded" for using the unacceptable slang.

LeBron James took over down the stretch Wednesday night as the Heat won Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals 85-75 over Chicago, making life once again dangerously close to being devoid of any meaning whatsoever.

Kyle Korver, stuck in mid-Teen Wolf transformation his entire life, finally morphed from rugged sharpshooter into an all-around werewolf superstar Tuesday at the Berto Center. During a scrum for a loose ball during the Bulls’ practice, Korver got tied up with Taj Gibson and emerged from the floor sporting fangs, shaggy hair all over his body and a 90-inch vertical leap.
