Depth and Defense.

With the strength of the bench play, and the superior defense demonstrated last night, I wonder if there's a lesson America as a whole can take from the Bulls-Heat matchup: Depth and Defense, vs. Money and Hype.

Maybe ... Performance Matters? (Yes, Virginia... indeed.)

*The most worrisome lesson for the Heat stars is that they're up against a team that is dedicated above all else to outworking them. The Bulls have the coaching, size, depth and leadership to see this through. What a terrific series this could become if Miami is equal to those challenges.
