In what was not a big surprise, the Heat repeated as NBA champs last night. The refs were instructed to keep the game close, but make sure that the Heat clearly pulled it out in the end. Everybody played their roles perfectly.
I say that in jest, but if you watch the last five minutes of the game THINKING that's what's happening, you can actually see the game unfold that way. The "right" foul call. Who touched the ball last before it goes out of bounds? The unexpected traveling call. They all add up to a rather predictable outcome.
You knew the Heat could not lose game 6 at home. You KNEW that they would not lose a deciding game 7 either.
I was hoping that Duncan (a true legend) would take home his fifth NBA Championship. It wasn't to be, though. It just wasn't meant to be.
The lesson in all of this? You simply do not bet against the Heat.
