Heat guard Dwyane Wade is a Chicago guy, someone still in love with his hometown. But the Chicago Bulls rarely give him a warm reception.

The Heat and the Bulls open an Eastern Conference first-round rematch tomorrow in Chicago.

Chicago's four losses in the series a year ago came by 43 points. Wade made 31 free throws in those games, meaning his work at the foul line played a big part in ensuring that Miami got to the second round, its first step toward winning the N-B-A title. And if the Bulls want to push, poke, prod and pester him in this series, that's just fine with him.

Wade missed 23 games with a dislocated left shoulder, and is still rehabbing in an effort to fully recover from that injury.

Expect Chicago to test the joint, and his pain tolerance by running him off a lot of screens where his left side will collide with opposing players.
