DWade played 37 minutes and only scored 3 points (how is that possible?) and the entire Heat bench scored a grand total of 4 points. Z started and scored 12.
When Z scores 4 times as many points as DWade and 3 times as many points as the entire bench, that sure isn't a recipe for success.
Dan Gilbert said The Curse was going to follow LBJ to Miami. Let's see: Mike Miller injured, Haslem injured, Chalmers injured, DWade banged up, Bosh struggling against any legitmate opposing Big, the many months long media and fan backlash against LBJ because his public relations people are inept, empty seats at Miami's home arena, LBJ calling out coach "Spols" for playing the league MVP too many minutes, Eddie House taking the final shot with the game on the line at least twice already with three "14 million dollar men" on the roster. All this and only 14 games in.
Does anyone really believe that Z is gonna stay healthy for the whole season? What about Bosh and Wade's history of staying healthy for a whole season?
What Curse? There's no such things as curses!!!! But......
I don't remember any point in LBJ's time in Cleveland where the team was this...........................................off! The whole vibe surrounding the Miami Heat is just......................off! Bad vibes. Bad Karma.
Hmmm......Sometimes people get exactly what they deserve.
Let Lebron and the Heat piss this season away (no ring for Lebron). Then next year maybe a Lockout will cancel the entire season (no ring for Lebron). Then when play resumes in October of '12 hopefully there will be a hard salary cap in place (like the NFL) that will make it impossible to field a competitive team when the Heat have 45 million or more wrapped up in 3 guys (no ring for Lebron in Miami ever).
What Curse?
