I've been a HEAT season ticket holder for almost 10 years now. This was a great season in terms of going deep in the playoffs, but the team itself was very uneven....
Shaq is worthless on defense, but then again, our entire defense sucked all season long IMO. The rebounding was horrendous as well. Mourning was the only player who stood up on defense during the playoffs, and he's basically on one leg. That's sad....
Wade is incredible, but he's about all we have on offense. D. Jones did his best R. Alston impression this year. He played great during the season, and disappeared once the playoffs started. He should also be held responsible for losing last night IMO. His turnover killed us, and when we had a chance to get within 3, he choked at the FT line....
I could go on and on about how poor this team played in this series against Detroit, but it's not worth it. It's over for the Heat, and I think this was our best, and last great opportuinity to win it all. From here on out, the Heat will need to focus on rebuilding with younger players, who know how to get physical and play some damn defense for a change....
That was a horribly coached game last night by Van Gundy. He made horrible decisions late, and it cost us the game in the end. No excuses, the Heat choked. Just like when we played. and lost to the Knicks all those years. I felt like I was in a time-warp last night....
PHINZ RULE!!!!
