Heat Lose Game 6

I don't want to right a recap because the NBA doesn't deserve one. Neither do the Heat, the so-called best team in the universe or history or whatever that don't care. Wade's hurt. That's fine, I don't expect him to be great right now. I feel you Wade. But Bosh doesn't care. Ray Allen doesn't care. Lebron is frustrated. The team is lethargic. They don't want it. And it sucks.

The Warden, Joel Anthony, came in and played big minutes for the Heat and played well following the suspension of The Birdman. Coach Spo continued to troll this fanbase by finally putting in Mike Miller, who quickly hit two threes to pull Miami within 7 only to squander the lead again. The refs called a horrible game, topped off yet again near the end of the game when Lebron was called for a charge on Roy Hibbert, who hit him in the face and was also in the restricted area. Then, Lebron did was NBA players do all of the time without repercussion, and something that Pacer Tyler Hansbrough did earlier in the season, and ran down the court in frustration to his basket. He was then called for a technical.

I don't know any more guys. This team is playing poorly this series. Yes, injuries and match-up problems have lent this to be a close tie between the two teams, but the Heat just haven't cared this postseason much besides for a couple games in Chicago and it's led to a Game 7 against a team that won 17 less games this season. The officiating, especially in two games in particular, has been absolutely horrendous and has made these past 6 games annoying to watch. Basketball is not fun anymore, and not just because of the Heat's poor play. It's Reggie Miller and Steve Kerr's biased and unqualified reporting. It's Tony Brothers and Ed Malloy and Joey Crawford getting hardly any calls right and totally giving foul immunity to 7 foot 2 inch Roy Hibbert. It's the media jumping ship after every game, calling a Heat-Spurs finals before Game 4 and preaching impending doom after every Heat loss. It's bad guys. It's real bad. And it's not going to get better unless we make the Finals, and even then it's not a promise.

Game 7 is Monday. I will 99% watch it. But as I've tweeted, there's a possibility I won't. This isn't a fun series, this isn't basketball, and this isn't the Heat team or the total NBA brand package we've put our faith in. This is an utter waste of my time.
