Basketball Thoughts #8

I think the Miami Heat are staggering a bit. They're swaggering. They're talking. They're breathing. Play! Play! Stop talking! No wonder why Lebron James misses free throws. When he gets the ball in the closing seconds of ball games, he needs to go strong to the basket and finish the play. Quit laying the ball up in the hoop. That's why he got blocked by Amare Stoudemire in the closing seconds of the Heat-Knicks game when they lost 91-86 on February 27. Wade and Bosh didn't help out on James when he lost control of the basketball. The Heat lost the game when they had a big lead. The same thing happened again today on March 3rd. The Heat were up by 24 points and lost the lead and eventually lost their composure on the ball game. If the Heat losing ball games like this were the playoffs, I'd be in trouble. There's still time to shape up and toughen up and win in those tight, closing seconds of those ball games the Heat just keep on losing.
