Ira's blog: Night of Shame II

Quote:
Night of Shame II

If the post's title sounds familiar, it should.

The May 21 post here, "Night of Shame", addressed how nauseous the Heat should have felt, with the Cavaliers advancing to the Eastern Conference finals.

Most of the ensuing comments were of the "get over it" variety, that the Heat wasn't good enough in the first round and Cleveland was good enough in the first two, against the middling likes of Washington and New Jersey.

And now: Your Eastern Conference champion … Cleveland Cavaliers.

This is the best the conference has to offer? LeBron James and some second-round rookie out of Texas too green to recognize the pressure of the moment?

So what would the Heat have to do in the offseason to meet next season's challenge of the Cavaliers? Nothing. A healthy Dwyane Wade and even a 36-year-old Shaquille O'Neal would appear more than enough.

As for the Pistons? It's over -- a bunch of players who grew arrogant over the success of making five consecutive Eastern Conference finals, despite winning only one title during that run. (Oh, and parents keep those kids away from Rasheed Wallace.)


Flip Saunders? O-v-e-r-r-a-t-e-d. And in over his head.

And that's the thing, this thing was there for the taking this season.

The upside? The conference should be just as wide open, and there for the taking next season.

For now, the Heat will have to live with the reality that Wade and O'Neal will be sitting at home, while Damon Jones will be in the NBA Finals.

Re: Ira's blog: Night of Shame II

I've been saying it for weeks, and I still stick to it. If the Heat were on the bottom half of the bracket, they'd be in the ECF, or maybe even the Finals again.

Re: Ira's blog: Night of Shame II

If a frog had wings, it wouldn't bust its arse on the rocks.

We HAVE to make a few changes at the role player spots to build around Wade and prepare for a push. We need to have one more dedicated run over the next several years, because once Shaq and Walker are off contract, we can make a true run for the big talent around Wade. I personally don't want to wait through more first round exits.
