Any impartial observer who has watched and heard this Miami Heat-Bulls playoff series would have to agree that the behavior of the underdogs suggests that Chicago's famous nickname should be tweaked just a tad.

Senior pitcher Jerad Grundy gave up one run and had five strikeouts in five run innings in his first career mid-week start, and Kentucky's baseball team defeated Wright State 4-1 on Tuesday night at Cliff Hagan Stadium.

"Don't take this for granted," Erik Spoelstra was saying Saturday, pinned against a wall by a semi-circle crush of media on one end of the Heat's practice court.

It became a ritual for Williams and his teammates at Illinois: Someone would talk trash randomly about getting an edge in practice knowing the dispute would be settled on the court after hours.
