NBA Playoffs Schedule 2013: Wednesday's Matchups, Time for Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls, Spurs vs. Warriors

May 08, 2013 01:50 PM EDT

The 2013 NBA Playoffs brings two games to your television as the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors have a chance to redeem themselves following their Game 1 loses to the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs, respectively. Here are the game times as these teams hook up for Game 2 of the second round series. 

First up on your playoff schedule, the defending champion Heat take on the Bulls. 
Game Time: 7 p.m. ET 

The Bulls shocked the world of basketball. It was like a man with one arm crossing over LeBron James (don't mean to offend anybody) leaving everybody with their mouths open watching as Chicago pulled away with the victory Monday evening to take a 1-0 lead. It was their fifth playoff victory, but it's still incredible how this team got past the Brooklyn Nets, who are now searching for a new head coach. 

Speaking of coaches, the Bulls head coach, Tom Thibodeau, should receive an award just for the playoffs. He's proven that his bench players are well prepared for any task at hand, no matter who the opponent is. The fact that they're able to perform without Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich on the floor is amazing and pretty much unbelievable.

Marco Belinelli who? Exactly, but Belinelli is averaging almost 12 points per game. Nate Robinson can't play defense, but he's super clutch with the basketball late in the game and, boy, is this little man tough. 

The Heat don't have home court advantage anymore and if they continue to play boring, lazy basketball, they will lose to the Bulls once again. 

Wrapping up Wednesday's action: Spurs vs. Warriors
Game Time: 9:30 p.m. ET

The Warriors are down and out. It would be great to believe that they can come back in the series, but paranoia will settle in with every lead the team has. However, the Spurs are veterans, they know they won't always have the luck to come back late in the games, so expect them to come out firing.

This was probably the Warriors best chance at stealing a game from San Antonio. However, the fact that Clay Thompson had fouled out and the offense was in disarray is interesting to look at. The Warriors have been down 0-1 before and they have lost crushing games, but do they have what it takes to do it again? Maybe Stephen Curry should hold off is third quarter amazingness for the final quarter when it really matters.

All the other series are tied 1-1, do the Heat and Warriors have it in them to come back in Game 1?
