I get how their entire playoff run has been unexpected, but my goodness, if you've been watching the playoffs then you know they've been amazing.
I'm tempted to pick them over the Lakers.
BTW, if you're still holding onto your old Mavs/Heat related hatred, I get it. Just know that you are missing out, because they play hard, they play the right way and they are REALLY fun to watch. Tough to believe I know, but they're the GOOD GUYS right now.
I'm just in awe of Spoelstra's coaching. He and Jimmy have their young team tough and confident. This could be the year that a good *team* wins as opposed to one of these Frankenstein's monsters built by free agency shenanigans. Of course, the same would be true in the unlikely event that Denver or Boston won in the finals. Caveat - although there's a lot of good coaching and drafting going on with the Heat, the way they acquired Butler is certainly Frankenstein-esque.
Anyone else pissed off about this? Eff the Lakers.
