If you look at the Miami Heat''s record you think "Hey, that's good." You look at their roster and think "They should have the best record in the NBA". But fact is they don't, Spurs do. Yeah, the same Spurs who have an aging Tim Duncan, the second year Dejuan Blair, with no NBA experience, starting at center, and a Tony Parker who seemed out of his prime at the end of last year. But no, Tony Parker looks as good as ever averaging 17.5 points per game and almost 7 assists. Tim Duncan is averaging almost a double-double and Dejuan Blair is averaging 7.5 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game. Also, Manu Ginobli is averaging almost 20 points per game. Why can't the Heat spread out the scoring like that? Once the big three came to South Beach many people thought the Heat would win the championship. This is likely because they have 2 of the 3 best performers under pressure in the NBA. They're only missing Kobe. The Heat have a good record at 30-13 but are on a four-game skid. I wouldn't really worry about the skid because in each of these games at least one of the big three has been hurt. The only game I would be worried about is the game against the Nuggets where they let up 130 points. BAD DEFENSE. But their defense this season has been good so I think this was just a bad game. The Heat will have a shot at the title soon enough and they might just deliver.
