The Chicago Bulls battle the Miami Heat on the court at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, FL on Tuesday, October 29 at 8:00 p.m. ET. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the 2013 NBA basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
In the first game of the NBA regular season, the Bulls currently rank no 6 according to Bleacher Report sports columnist Maxwell Ogden:
"With or without the presence of Derrick Rose, the Chicago Bulls are a force in the Eastern Conference. With a world-class defense, a Top 5 head coach and a revamped second unit, Chicago has enough to take any team to the limit—including their bitter rival Miami Heat. With Derrick Rose, Chicago now has the closer it needs to become an NBA championship contender.
The Bulls have a starting lineup with four All-Stars in Rose, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah. At shooting guard, Jimmy Butler has made tremendous strides, becoming a lock-down defender and shooting 47.5 percent from beyond the arc after the All-Star Break. The key for Chicago will be Rose's health and Butler's continued development into an all-around contributor.
Chicago returns strong reserves in Taj Gibson, Kirk Hinrich and Marquis Teague, and now add sharpshooters Mike Dunleavy and Tony Snell. Dunleavy will be the key player, as he shot 42.8 percent from beyond the arc in 2012-13 and 43.8 percent during the playoffs. Rose's level of play will determine whether or not Chicago contends for an NBA championship, but the Bulls are a true force with or without him."
The Heat currently snag the no. 1 spot. As Ogden points out:
"The Miami Heat are the two-time defending NBA champions. LeBron James is on the roster, as are Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, and the Heat have added significant pieces to a bench that continues to grow stronger. Why would any other team be ranked No. 1?
The Heat are led by the best player in the world, LeBron, and a pair of superstars, Bosh and Wade, who continue to redeem themselves during the postseason. That trio is still the best in the league, and until Miami is dethroned, it will remain the best overall team. Three consecutive finals appearances and two titles trump any argument that detractors may attempt to use. Miami's bench is what the world will be watching, as picks Michael Beasley and Greg Oden search for a rebound season. Both have the talent necessary to achieve said goal, and if they're able to, Miami will be close to unstoppable.
Power rankings may be subjective, but anyone who puts a team above Miami at this juncture is wrong."
Tonight's game should prove a fierce battle on the court between two of the NBA's top teams.
The game will be broadcasted live on TNT, but fans can also listen in on the radio at ESPN 1000,1050 The Fan, ESPN 1380, ESPN 760, and 940 WINZ.
