And how are they doing now? The Heat are struggling against an older Brooklyn team, as well as against the Bobcats. They've won/swept, but not convincingly. What are you going to say if the Spurs win again by over 20 tonight? If they sweep the Trailblazers?
I hate to tell you, but if you sweep a team that's convincing. 4 wins in a row does not equal struggle in any way shape or form. The Heat swept and had the longest lay off of any team in the finals. The Spurs in round 1 was a team struggling. Even if they go on to sweep round 2, round 1 was definitely close to being it for them.
I can see it now, The Heat sweep the Nets, and sweep whoever they face after that. Then in the finals they only lose 1 game. And people will still find shit to nitpick about them
"they might have won 3 games in a row in the finals, but they barely squeaked by, and they lost 1"
"they would have gotten swept if the refs didn't baby James"
"They got lucky... 3 seasons in a row"
"they still suck!"
All I gotta say is GO CELTICS!! for uhhh 2020 or whenever we're done "rebuilding" But for now the Heat are simply not beatable in a playoff series or the finals. But all these teams they smash on can brag about shit like how they went 4-0 against them in the regular season - like the Nets.
