The Heat did exactly what I thought they couldn’t do, finish. Last night they did what Championship teams do, finish off a team and take series when the game is, all but, pretty much gone.
With 3.53 left in the 4th Qt Spoelstra calls a full timeout with the Heat down 64-76. With 2.03 left Thibodeau calls a TO after a Miami 8-1 run bringing it to 72-77. 63 seconds later Lebron drops a 3 to tie it 79-79 with 1 minute left. In the remaining minute Derek Rose scored the only point Chicago produced for the rest of the game as the Bulls season finished.
This NBA Finals is so important but here is a list of 5 reasons why this year’s Finals is so important.
- Dirk. A ring would validate his career as a ‘Great’
- Lebron. Cements his ‘Decision’ as the right move.
- Spoelstra. What he has done this year has been under-rated. A title in his first year with this group could possibly mean Phil Jacksonish type numbers in his career.
- Pat Riley. He was a 1st Rd draft pick. Won a title as a player. Won 5 titles as a Coach. And now is working on becoming the greatest GM in the modern era.
- Mark Cuban. Love him or Hate him – Championships start at the top.. and if Dallas wins then Cuban’s respect sky rockets.
