Miami Thrice Title Quest Diary – May 17, 2012

Is it too late to become an OKC fan?

Miami has just put on what might be the single worst display of playoff basketball I have ever seen.  To be blown out by the Indiana Pacers is ridiculous when LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are on your team.  To play as truly horribly as Miami did is another thing altogether.  DWade had what might be the worst game of his career and LeBron checked out in the second half once the team started sliding.

This does not bode well.

Nor does Wade getting into it with Eric Spolestra.

Suddenly I feel bad for LeBron.  Really, really bad.  It seems like he was bamboozled to come to Miami by DWade and Pat Riley (“Come on LeBron, it will be easy to win titles here and you can hang out in the clubs in South Beach…”) and now Miami is a team in crisis.  Wade was really, really awful tonight.  Nothing went right for him.  In the first quarter, LeBron was focused and aggressive and then without him the team fell apart.

Except for Mario Chalmers who played well with James and Wade falling apart.

The team is in a major crisis and is down 2-1 to the Pacers.  Boston would be ripping them apart right now.  They have better get it together quickly here.

Again, is it too late to start rooting for OKC?
