Q: Well, that was quite pathetic. This has been going on all year, where the Heat just cannot get into any kind of offensive rhythm. Then their defense gives up points that they should not. Outrebounded, turnovers, missing foul shots. I blame the whole team on this one, coach and everyone. Including Bam Adebayo. We are just a poor team. So as their fan, I just have to accept that as fact – F.L.
A: There is no sugarcoating. There just isn’t. This never was the most talented of teams, even when they were playing in the Eastern Conference finals in two of the past three seasons. But they almost always played with a desperation, and, to a degree, at least in crunch time, a precision. Now both are missing, and the results almost are as expected. These are the games that bad teams lose. So that makes the Heat . . .
