They are the second best team in the NBA. I don't get (not just your criticism) but all of the piling on the Heat.
I hate the Heat. I've never liked Lebron. I think he's a pussycat , although the best playa in the NBA. Durant gonna catch him next year though. But I don't think it's like they completely threw in the towel. They were beaten by a better team when the chips were down. I don't care what nobody say! The Spurs are a better team from top to bottom. Maybe not as individual players but they have a great team. They play some old timey basketball like WT likes.
That performance was dog shit.
Yes, the Heat were the 2nd best team and sometimes the 2nd best team - and even further down in ranking - can beat the 1st ranked team.
The Spurs were playing good basketball. In return, the Heat needed to play good basketball. But they didn't. They threw in the towel.
The last three games were so lopsided, I can't even tell you who on the Heat contributed to their measly point totals besides Lebron. James had a few key shots and a few good moments early in the games but when the Heat as a team needed to turn on the competitive edge, they didn't. Wade was tired. Bosh was...somewhere he shouldn't have been. Birdman was the only guy out there trying to get a rebound. Chalmers was throwing bricks. Ray Allen was missing 3 pointers and driving to the basket.
By the end of last night's game, Spolstra had run out of so many ideas that he put Michael Beasley in to be the spark.
The reason why everyone is piling on them is because that team gave up in a championship series. There are no excuses for that. Not age. Not money. Nothing. There is no reason to lose your edge in a championship game. That goes for the Heat, the Broncos, Notre Dame, and LSU in recent years.
