After Game 2 of the Heat/Bulls series last night, does the Heat bring back memories of the 1980-90's Bulls?

Now before you bring up all the rings and accolades that MJ and the Bulls have accomplished, this question wasn't meant to put the Heat on the same pedestal....... yet. The way the Heat's team was assembled to not having a game changing big men makes them different from the many previous championship teams like the Spurs, Lakers, and Celtics.

In fact, only 1 team (as I recall) has ever had success using this formula. This Miami team focuses on defense led by 2 special wing players (Wade and James) who happens to play on both ends of the floor, which was the same recipe that made Jordan and Pippen successful during the 90's.

Now I'm not saying that Wade or James is ready to walk into MJ's footsteps with the other guy playing Pippen's sidekick role but you can't deny the similarities. This Miami Heat team could actually have 2 Alpha type players with LeBron and Wade each taking turns dominating, where one starts the game and the other finishes it. Both players have proven they were capable of carrying a team on their own before they came together.

So my question is:

1) How would you compare Wade & LBJ to Jordan & Pippen from an athletic standpoint and skillsets?

2) If the Heat actually beat the Bulls in this series, will the comparison between the current Miami team and the 1980-90's Bulls become even more relevant?

    1) Lebron is a much better wing player than pippen and d-wade isnt as good as mj obviously but they do have similar styles so i can see what you're getting at.

    2) I don't think so. This Heat team is carried by two players while the bulls had mj, pippen and some role players (kerr, rodman, kukoc etc...)
