For the second straight game the Miami Heat were not a watchable basketball team. It was hideous to view, but this time it was at home and it was a game in which you would have expected some passion and desperation by the defending champs of the Eastern Conference.
There was none of that and as a result the Milwaukee Bucks are on the cusp of sweeping the Miami Heat in a series in which most thought would be quality NBA post season viewing.
It wasn’t just one player or one thing for the Heat. They were brutal from the top of the roster to the bottom. They couldn’t defend, they couldn’t rebound, and couldn’t make open shots.
The Miami Heat some are saying were Bubble Frauds last season.
I’m not sure if that’s fair, but the Heat basically have rolled over these last two games and not shown any professional pride in their craft.
But on the flip side…let’s give the Bucks some credit—they made their team better by adding Jrue Holiday, PJ Tucker, and Bobby Portis.
All three of these guys make the Bucks a tougher, smarter, and better basketball team.
It would appear we are headed for a Brooklyn Nets vs. Milwaukee Bucks conference semi-final in the East.
It can’t get here soon enough for NBA fans because the Miami Heat are not watchable at the present time for whatever internal reason it may be.
