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. Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Rosse . Dukurs winning time was 1 minute, 45.76 seconds, a quarter-second better than Russias Alexander Tretiakov.

On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. Throughout the Tour de France, Australian professional cyclist Richie Porte will be checking in. Here is his latest entry, as told to ESPN contributor Rupert Guinness:First Rest Day -?Escaldes-Egordany, AndorraWith the Pyrenees behind us in this years 103rd Tour de France, everyone is now looking to Mont Ventoux, the summit finish of stage 12, as the next pivotal moment of the race.Thats understandable, given the mountain is one of the hardest to race up in Europe.But what happens there could also depend on what happens the day before.After Mondays rest day, we leave the Pyrenees for Tuesdays 197km 10th stage from Escaldes-Egordany in Andorra to Revel in France. Danger then lurks during Wednesdays 162.5km 11th stage from Carcassonne to Montpellier, when there is chance of a cross wind.If those winds prevail, that could be stressful. If such winds strike and the peloton splits up, it could set the scene for an even more interesting stage to Mont Ventoux. Cross winds require a great read of race; and if not responded to correctly can be costly with time losses.However, I think we have the team at BMC for cross winds; and if conditions are otherwise.An ability to race in varying conditions is part and parcel of bike racing, and I was reminded of that when I woke up on Monday morning for the first of two rest days in this years Tour.What reminded me were the bruises on my arms where my tan line stops; I had little welts from the hail storm that struck us on Sunday. Its a good thing we have helmets on.That alone made one think of the stage and who was stronger in the Pyrenean stage or not.It was also interesting to see discussion over whether or not Colombian Nairo Quintana (Movistar) is holding back on the race by not trying to attack race leader Chris Frroome (Sky).ddddddddddddI dont know. Maybe Quintana was on his limit. I think its silly to read into anything just yet.I saw him race earlier this year at the Volta a Catalunya and he is a pretty aggressive rider.I guess he is saving it for Thursday? If not, the main thing is to be ready for when he tries.Which all leads to what we all may have gained from the rest day in Andorra, or not.To be honest, I am not a massive fan of rests days. I would just rather get the Tour done.I had a pretty rough night of sleep on Sunday night to Monday morning with Portuguese fans outside the team hotel making a racket after Portugals 2016 Euro football final victory.But at least as a rider you are granted most of the day to yourself until late team meetings.BMCs plan says wake up whenever. There is not time limit so long we are riding by 10.30.But I was awake on Sunday at 7.10am, and at breakfast with the staff. So my rest day began.After rising earlier than usual for the stage, I was all ready to go but with no race to race.It was good though to get more time for treatment from the osteopath and have a massage.We then rode 40 kilometres easy, in and around Andorra, even skipping the coffee shop -- after which we had lunch and the afternoon to ourselves, in my case, with my wife, Gemma.As we walked along the river outside our hotel in Andorra-La Vielle, it was easy to think of how lucky we are to be in a sport that takes you to such far off areas like the Pyrenees.But then, those mountains are behind us now - for at least another year. So whats ahead?Hopefully that is a question I can help answer with performance, and a good one at that. ' ' '
