Lakers Lose, But Heat Need To Cool Off
Tonight, the Heat complete the season sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers by beating them in Miami (94-88). For a team coming off of 5 straight losses, the Heat surely showed it afterward; moreover, you would think they won the NBA Championship. Then again, I shouldn't be so surprised - this is the same Heat team who held what looked like a Championship Celebration upon their acquisitions of Lebron James and Chris Bosh prior to the season beginning. It's pretty obvious that along with a young coach, the Miami Heat are also very immature and despite sweeping the defending Champs, the Heat have a long way to go still.
I had the opportunity to read many posts on Twitter by Heat fans and it is amazing what one victory will do, let alone a victory against the Lakers. I get the fact that they are rejoicing that their team not only won, but that it came against a team like the Lakers - trust me, I do get this fact. However, Lebron's team also swept the Lakers last season also, as did the Boston Celtics.
Umm...how did that affect the Lakers last season?
All I'm saying is, it's okay to enjoy a win - but if you're going to do so, don't post everywhere boasting about your victories over the Lakers. Last I chceked, owning the Lakers in the regular season does not get Lebron, Dwayne, or Bosh a ring; conversely, it did not get Pierce, Garnett or Rondo one last year either. A little perspective is all I'm asking for - that's all.
After all, Heat fans need not worry about the Lakers, they've got bigger fish to fry out there in the "Beast" - I mean East. I still don't see the Miami Heat getting to the Finals.
You can take that to the bank!

Miami Heat: Crying Is For Girls! (No Offense Ladies)
Let me preface this post by saying, I’ve played organized sports before. I played before elementary, I played in middle-school, in high school, and I dabbled with college sports – even if it was from the bench. Far as I can remember, I did cry after a loss; however, it was not out of frustration, it was because that game against La Canada was a playoff game, and after having been down at the half, to come back and be within two free throws of winning and advancing – it hurt. I was a freshman in high school though, so I think it’s expected.
Play hard or go home right?
Now we fast forward to today, I work for Corporate America and I earn a living by performing tasks on my playing field – in the office. I’ve had some good days and certainly I’ve had some bad one’s as well; however, just short of being fired, thankfully, I’ve never been in a position where my job brought me to tears. I’m not naive though, I know some people out there have a disdain for their jobs that is unequivocally genuine and real – to them. Many work to live; rather, than live to work and I can definitely get into that one, but I’ll save that for another time. The point I’m trying to make is, for the vast majority of us who work – period, we do what we do and despite those occasional bad days, we know that once we step out of the office, the rest of our lives begin; after all, for most of us, we have people and/or pets who love us anxiously waiting for us to get home.
Point is, no matter how hard the day at work was, in my opinion of course, there really is no reason to cry about it - right?
It’s funny, because it reminds me of something my mother used to always say to me when I was acting up and I would start crying “for no reason”:
“You want me to give you something to cry about?!?”
Truth be told, there are in fact much more important reasons to cry in life than to cry over a bad day at the office. It is because I feel and think this way, that I would love to send an e-mail to the Miami Heat directed to their players with the following:
CRYING IS FOR PANSY ASS LITTLE GIRLS! MAN UP YOU BUNCH OF B******!
If you didn’t know, after yet another collapse in the 4th quarter, the Miami Heat lost to the Chicago Bulls. Lately, the Miami Heat simply have been unable to get it done when it matters most; moreover, they’ve lost much more than they’ve won the last few weeks. I could write you all a dissertation as to some of the reasons why I feel this is happening, but that would put you to sleep; hell, I don’t even want to think about them that much to be honest. What I do want to focus on now is the fact that their coach did the dumbest thing possible in that situation, and during the post-game interview, he told the media that some of his players were in crying in the locker room.
There goes the neighborhood.
I’m sure the Heat players appreciated being thrown under the bus after another close loss. Informing the media of such personal things served no purposes, it serves no purposes, and quiet frankly should not have been discussed. It is with great confidence that I assure you, WHEN the Miami Heat are bounced out of the playoffs this season, their coach will have coached his last game as a Miami Heat.
Either way, the Miami Heat players make millions to play a game for a living. I do get the fact that frustration sets in, but at the end of the day, it was one game and there will be many more before it’s all said and done. So personally, I don’t see any reason why any of the players cried after the loss yesterday – nor do I condone it.
Basketball is a man’s sport, and unless they are in high school playing a top ranked La Canada school, they need to:
MAN THE F*** UP!!!!
