CHICAGO -- Bulls guard Dwyane Wade says he was not surprised by his $25,000 fine from the NBA for making a throat-slash gesture at the end of Thursday nights win over the Boston Celtics.They call you, they talk about it, you talk about it, and they decide what theyre going to do from there, Wade said after Saturdays shootaround. But obviously Ive been in this league for a while, so when they called me -- I knew they were going to call me before they called -- but like I told them, I didnt mean anything malicious by it. I was caught in the moment. But when I got done, as soon as I did it, I was like, Yeah, thats a fine.But it is what it is. Theres rules to this game. You have to respect the rules, and when you dont you get fined, so its all good.Wade hit a game-clinching 3-pointer with 26.3 seconds left and acknowledged after the game he had an out-of-body experience, with the emotions running high in his Bulls regular-season debut.Wade, who scored 22 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out five assists in the win, tweeted out an apology Friday before the fine became official.Ive been on a few calls with [the league office], Wade said. And I always tell the truth. Whatever it is, theyve got film, they see everything, and you deal with it and you just move on from it.The 34-year-old kept a good sense of humor about the fine, noting that he was putting up jumpers during a first-half war of words that included Bulls teammates Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo and Celtics players Jae Crowder and Isaiah Thomas. All four players were assessed technical fouls as Wade stood to the side and took a practice jumper.I was trying not to get fined, and I got fined anyway, Wade said. Fake Air Max 270 .

CHICAGO -- Jeff Samardzija has started plenty of games at Wrigley Field -- just not in the playoffs. Thats about to change.He will make his first postseason start in the same place he began his major league career when his San Francisco Giants play the Chicago Cubs in Game 2 of the NL Division Series on Saturday night.Samardzija was drafted by the Cubs in 2006 and spent his first 6 1/2 seasons with the team before he was traded to Oakland in the 2014 deal that brought shortstop Addison Russell to the Cubs.Obviously, everythings a little different when you pitched in one place for so long and then have to go do it on the other side, he said. But really not worried about that too much. Im just excited that Im getting an opportunity to pitch in a playoff game, which for me they have been few and far between with going in 2008 and then going briefly in 2014. For me, Im excited to have that opportunity and never matters where its at or what time of day it is. Its just the playoffs are the playoffs and you want to have a good showing.Samardzijas only playoff appearance was a relief outing for the Cubs against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2008 Division Series.San Francisco could have started midseason acquisition Matt Moore in Game 2. But Samardzija is familiar with Wrigley Field and has not pitched since Sept. 28. Moore, who started the final regular-season game, would get throw back home in a Game 4.Chicago Game 2 starter Kyle Hendricks went 16-8 with a major league-best 2.13 ERA.To be able to pitch here in front of these fans, Game 2, its a dream come true, Hendricks said. Really it was a dream come true last year just to be pitching iin a playoff game.dddddddddddd But for the team, for Joe (Maddon) to have confidence in me to hand me the ball for this game is big.Samardzija, a native of nearby Merrillville, Indiana, also played baseball and football at Notre Dame. He signed a $90 million, five-year contract with San Francisco last fall and has bounced back after going 11-13 in his lone season with the White Sox.Saturdays start will be Samardzijas second as a visitor at Wrigley Field. In September, he threw 47 pitches in a three-run first and exited after four innings.Samardzija was critical of the Cubs rebuilding plan, especially when they traded Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger to Baltimore and Carlos Marmol to the Dodgers on the same day in early July 2013.The deal with the Orioles became one of the defining moments that helped make the Cubs one of the best teams in the majors the past two years, bringing them 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta and reliever Pedro Strop.Samardzija met with Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein last offseason before signing with San Francisco, but the Cubs focused on outfielder Jason Heyward and pitcher John Lackey.There was a handful of teams that I could see myself playing for with the direction they were going, the strength of the division, the guys they had in their farm team, he said. So obviously the Cubs checked all those boxes. I had good relationships with the people that were there. Just unfortunately when it came down to it, we were kind of looking for different things. ' ' '
