Well, I know I wanted to keep this focused on what was going on in the world of Chicago sports, but due to the fact that we are in a real dead time for sports with college hoops being so unbearable to watch I figured I would talk about my hate for the Heat.
Last night, I was watching the Oscars, which was horrendous, and due to it being so boring and just god awful, I watched the 2nd half of the Heat-Knicks game. All I can say is that whoever thinks the Heat will coast to the Eastern Conference Finals is basketball dumb. The super best friends do not know what they are doing when the game is on the line. The Heat this year have two wins where they have won on the final shot. Guess who hit the big shots? If you guessed any of the might triumvirate that is LBJ, Wade, or floppy sue Bosh, you would be mistaken. Eddie House and Mike Miller are who hit the big shots. Oh yea, and they both stink. Last night as I watched that game and thought back to the Heat Bulls game, they played out almost identically. The Heat had an 84-80 lead in both games and wound up losing both games by 3 and 5 points. In both games, the Heat had a chance to tie it and that shot went to Lebron in both games. While I know MJ didn't make every game winner, it seemed that way because he always got a good look and gave his team the best chance to win. What he didn't do was throw up horrible shots and break the backboard on his jumpers like Lebron. The guy is just not clutch. Eric Spoelstra needs to start giving those game winning shots to the only guy on his team with any guts: D-Wade. He atleast has a track record of knocking down shots. I don't see this team getting passed the 2nd round the way they are playing now. They simply lack the toughness that a team needs to advance in the playoffs. They are a combined 0-6 against the Celtics, Bulls, and revamped Knicks. While they destroy the dregs of this league, they cannot beat anyone who is actually good. Bulls in 5 in the second round if they have to play the Heat, home court or no home court advantage. Not only would they get out toughed by the Bulls, they'd get out coached as well. Bring it Super best friends.
