Chicago @ Miami ... LeBRON.

Sit 'im, or play 'im?

YOU make the call...

*I'd play 'im. Purely from a Heat strategy standpoint too...

Sportswriter Greg Stoda makes the case otherwise.

MIAMI — The Heat have nothing to prove Sunday.

That’s why – discretion being the better part of valor, and all that – they should play Dwyane Wade minimal minutes … and LeBron James and Chris Bosh not at all when the roughneck Chicago Bulls come calling in AmericanAirlines Arena.

The risk/reward scale is too out of balance to do otherwise.

Or don’t you recall the game in Chicago a little more than two weeks ago when the Bulls –in snapping a 27-game Heat winning streak – employed strong-arm tactics that resulted in James complaining about a couple of incidents that, in his opinion, weren’t “basketball plays” in a roughhouse game?

It doesn’t matter that James came across as a whiner.

What matters is that the Heat – with nothing at stake in terms of playoff seeding with the top spot all theirs – don’t need the aggravation the Bulls unfailingly present. Not with the regular season winding down, they don’t, and not with Chicago in a scrum for middle-of-the-pack seeding position in the Eastern Conference. ...
