The Miami Heat are now twice guilty of celebrating a championship victory before actually winning one. We all remember the silly-ass event in which the newly constructed Big 3 paraded around smoke machines, fist-pumped like buffons and declared they were going to win "not four, not five..." And after besting Boston, "the three best friends that anyone could have" went bonkers, comporting themselves as if they had just vidicated their actions during the summer. King James even apologized to Cleveland for how he left Cleveland. Bold move for a guy that hadn't even gotten through the East, let alone the Western Champs.
Well, they got a rude awakening Sunday night as Derrick Rose all but stated, "Did you forget that we already made you cry once this season?" Most satisfying for the Heat-haters in this world were certainly Taj Gibson's posterization of Wade and Noah's sickly block on Miami's two-guard. Flash should feel thoroughly embarrassed after these two plays.
Of course, this is only game one. No doubt, the Heatles can come back and win this series. But if they don't, it must be stated that celebrating like a crazy person should be reserved for when a team actually wins a title. Not after a few contracts have been inked or a second round matchup has been won over a team whose most pivotal player is competing with one arm.
Clowns.
