Miami parade postponed ...sorry!

Ok, Miami Heat fans. You’d better check out another blog article from this site because you won’t like it…

How satisfying was that NBA Finals?! Seeing how a team like Dallas just totally dismantled the supposed Miami Heat juggernaut was poetry in motion. Dallas took advantage of every misstep that Miami took and never looked back. They made plays when it counted. They fought until the very end.

Some could say that the turning point was in Game 2 and the Heat were up by 15 pts in the 4th quarter. After a timeout, they walked off the court, seemingly planning their parade route already. Then Dirk took over. No one could stop the guy. I thought Lebron was supposed to be the unstoppable one, but it was the 7 foot German that stole the show. Speaking of satisfying, how good was it to see Dirk manhandle Bosh in the last minute of that game (and actually, the whole series)?

I’m sure everyone remembers “The Decision” as well as that ridiculous party to introduce the Big Three to Miami. How dumb does that look now? Yes, the Heat may win a title in the next 5 years, but unless they do something, it’s not going to be the dynasty they had hoped for. It’s still Wade’s team and it looks like Lebron has trouble finding his role with another superstar on the team. Bosh was solid at times, but at other times, was exposed on the defensive end and had horrible shooting nights. They still have a ways to go. Lebron has a ways to go. For someone who was supposed to be the next Jordan (I know we’ve heard this before [Stackhouse, Hill, Carter, etc.]) he simply disappeared at the end of games in the Finals, especially Game 6.

But enough, of the Heat bashing…I’m sure there’s enough of that going around the world as it is. Congrats to the Mavs. They truly had the better, deeper and more cohesive team. Congrats to Dirk, showing the world he is one of the best players in the league. Congrats to Jason Kidd. I always loved his game because he worked so hard on both ends of the floor and made everyone on his team better. Congrats to Mark Cuban; crazy owners can win championships!

How long until the Raptors reach this kind of excitement? Well, unless Valuncianas is the 2nd coming of Nowitzki, then sorry folks, you won’t see that anytime soon.
