Strong by Ira Winderman yesterday:
...This. Team. Cannot. Afford. To. Miss. The. Playoffs. If that first-round pick to the Suns turns into a lottery pick (protected for the Heat only through No. 7), then the entire reason for this season goes up in smoke.
...
Q: Something is terribly wrong with this team...
A: It is emotionally weak players, that it only takes a 3-pointer or two for the confidence to wane and then disappear. It is one thing to fight from behind, with nothing to lose, as the Heat did over the second half of last season. It is another to maintain a position of strength amid adversity. Perhaps this roster simply lacks the strong minded. We're about to find out over these remaining games.
