And so it ends…and so it begins…
Why Miami Getting Swept is a Good Thing
And like that! Miami is done.
No more whiteout at the AAA. No more Wade. No more Shaq. No more Heat dancers.
No more hitting mute when Hubie Brown comments on Heat games. No more Sun Sports pregame hype.
No more chances to comeback and defend the title. It’s over. Miami’s reign as champs has come to an end.
Yet, as tough as this is for us nouveau-riche Heat fans to swallow, we must remember that the franchises in the NBA that have actually won the title is very small. And of that group, the franchises that have been able to defend their title with another title is even smaller. Ultimately, Miami has ended up where other championship teams of the past have ended up – falling short.
We can go on and on about how the Heat were swept out in the first round by the Bulls, yet the details make what seems clear even fuzzier. The home court advantage. The injuries that slowed the Heat down. The missed free throws that cost them two wins at least. The list goes on and on, but it just comes down to the fact that the Bulls were almost pre-destined to win this series no matter what. Don’t think so? What about Ben Wallace’s 6 made free throws in a row? When has he EVER done that?
So, the Heat end up falling short of their title defense, and for the haters out there, they would only stress they fell very short of it. There is some good, however that could come out of this.
