MIAMI -- For one night at least, Dade County will be Wade County once again.When the Chicago Bulls (4-4) visit the Miami Heat (2-4) on Thursday, the lions share of the focus will be on Dwyane Wade, the 6-foot-4 shooting guard, 12-time NBA All-Star and three-time NBA champion.Wade, the fifth pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, spent his entire career with the Heat until he bolted as a free agent this summer, landing in his hometown of Chicago.His decision saddened and disappointed thousands of Heat fans, who grew to love what Wade accomplished in Miamis colors.Wades return to his adopted home of Miami will be an event, as evidenced by the national broadcast on TNT.Im looking forward to it, Wade told ESPN after the Bulls beat the Orlando Magic on Monday night. Im looking forward to playing in the environment I played in for 13 years and competing against guys Ive played with and have relationships with.The Wade-in-Miami angle is so prominent that he talked about it even though there was another game to be played between the Bulls and the Hawks. The Bulls, in fact, lost 115-107 at Atlanta on Wednesday night. Bulls small forward Jimmy Butler led all scorers with 39 points, and Wade added 25.Meanwhile, the Heat (2-4) have been off since Monday and wont have to travel. That is a significant scheduling advantage for Miami, but it remains to be seen if Wade plays with a huge amount of emotion and if that will be enough to carry the night.The Heat, during the games first timeout, are expected to play a video montage of Wades highlights during his career in Miami.Ill definitely be appreciative of that moment, Wade said. It will be cool to see the love and support and people being thankful for what I did. Unless you are just cold-blooded, you are going to feel something.But its not like a retirement ceremony where I will have a chance to be real emotional. Im trying to beat their butt.The Bulls (4-4) are trying to get back to the postseason, after all. They missed the playoffs last season for the first time since 2008.After the season, Chicago traded away star point guard Derrick Rose and watched center Joakim Noah and power forward Pau Gasol leave as free agents.The Bulls regrouped by signing point guard Rajon Rondo and getting center Robin Lopez in the Rose trade. They signed Wade to a two-year, $47 million contract after he felt, in essence, disrespected by the Heats two-year, $40 million offer.Rondo, Wade and Lopez were added to the Bulls nucleus, which consists primarily of Butler, the one star on the team who is still in his prime, and power forward Taj Gibson.Chicagos bench is led by forwards Doug McDermott and Nikola Mirotic and guard Isaiah Canaan.Bulls backup point guard Michael Carter-Williams made the road trip even though his bruised left knee likely will keep him out for another month.The focus on Thursday, of course, will be on Wade. And Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, for one, is looking forward to the game and to the montage that will honor his former star.That will be a special moment, Spoelstra said. Dwyane means a lot to myself and to all of us in Miami.The Heat, though, has enough to worry about in terms of actually winning games. They are 1-2 at home and 1-2 on the road.Point guard Goran Dragic leads Miami in scoring (18.0) and assists (6.2). Center Hassan Whiteside is averaging 17.5 points, 13.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks. Reserve guard Tyler Johnson is playing well, averaging 14.5 points while making 51.6 percent of his shots.But Dragic, normally a terror while attacking the rim, is shooting just 43.9 percent on 2-pointers. And there is precious little in the way of perimeter shooting on this team once you get past Dragic and Johnson.Maybe that is one reason why Miamis starting small forward, Justise Winslow, said Wades arrival means little to him.It wont be emotional for us, said Winslow, who only played one year with Wade. We play against former players all the time.Black Friday Nike Air Max 97 . The 18-year-old American had five birdies in her bogey-free round for a 17-under total of 196.

Yeah, I do, said Parker when asked by Sky Sports Radio if he thought there was more bad blood than ever between the team.Theres a thing called sportsmanship and I think thats what aggravated most Queenslanders through that game.I do feel theres that real bad blood ... between the two teams.The 34-year-old said he expected the fall out from the match to be used as motivation for the Queenslanders next year.He also then denied claims that the post-match snub had been brought about following excessive sledging of the Blues, and particularly Gallen, in his last game.Thats an opinion from him, I never heard any from where I was and I didnt throw any either, Parker said.ddddddddddddParker was within a group of players identified by Gallen as being one of the chief sledging perpetrators following Queenslands 26-16 Origin II victory over the Blues.The retiring Blues captain hit out at Parker, Johnathan Thurston and Matt Gillett on Friday night for the manner in which they celebrated in the face of NSW players on fulltime at Suncorp Stadium last month.You talk about disrespect, youve only got to look back in Game II and the end of that game Johnathan Thurston looks directly at me and says F... your Blues, Gallen told Triple M.You see four or five players go off at Andrew Fifita and Aaron Woods ...
