Back to Finals: Lets Make it 2-0
It's kind of amazing how the Heat have done since the 2006 championship season. In 2007, they were swept out of the playoffs by a young Bulls team. In 2008, they won 15 games, and had the worst record in the NBA. In 2009, they made it to the Conference Semi Finals. Now they are in the NBA Finals.
Heat finished the season with the NBA's second best record, and the 2 seed in the east. They made a move mid season to pick up DerMarr Johnson. DerMarr is one of the reasons why the Heat are where they are, and why they could be the eventual champions. They signed Jamario Moon to a MLE, and has been playing great off the bench. They also traded away young point guard Mario Chalmers for Sean Williams. That trade made it clear that Shaun Livingston will be running the show. Livingston has been a pleasant surprise for the Heat. Suppose to be cut before last season even started, he is now the starting point guard for an NBA Finals team.
In the first round of the playoffs, they Heat played a tough team in Orlando, the 7 seed. The Heat climbed out of a 3-2 game hole and won the series in 7. Next they faced the New York Knicks. The Heat took them out in 6 games. Conference Finals come around, and they are facing the 5 seed Hawks. The Hawks took game one of the series, but then the Heat cruised and won the next 4 to clinch a finals birth.
Now they find themselves against a tough Lakers squad with depth all over the roster. The Heat need to do these 3 things to win the the Franchise's second Finals:- Stop Kobe Bryant
- REBOUND
- Share the Ball
I have 2 X Factors in this series. DerMarr Johnson and Shaun Livingston. We all know what Dwyane Wade, Michael Beasley, and Carlos Boozer can give the Heat, but now we need to know what they can do. Can one of them put up around 15-20 points every game? Can Livingston control the tempo of the game? We'll have to find out on own.
