Absolute Destruction

Absolute destruction. There is nothing else to be said. The Miami Heat were dominated today!. Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, and Gary Neal just, they just...you know what? There are no words to describe what happened. I'll use an analogy. Flashback to your early birthday parties. Think 8, 9 yrs old. Remember when everyone would get psyched when the pinata came out? And then every kid would take turns beating the hell out of the pinata? Remember what the pinata looked like?

Yeah, see when we were kids, that seemed perfectly normal. But now, doesn't it seem downright barbaric? Like, the kids are laughing and having fun all while acting like savages. Some straight Lord of the Flies shit. Well anyways, that's pretty much what the Spurs did to Miami. They continued to beat on Miami until there was no candy left. As a Lebron fan, it was just savagery. Pure savagery. I was pretty mad at first, but then I just accepted it. There are so many things to say about the Heat (mainly Lebron's terrible performance), but hopefully my partner BrothaJerome gives you guys updates while I try to sit in my office at work and push the images out of my mind. I won't even be able to peek at Yahoo! sports during my lunch break, or listen to sports pod casts. Maybe later on in the day, I'll give some in depth analysis of the beat down. But to be totally honest, there is really no point. All you have to do to understand what happened in Game 3 is look at the following video:

God dammit. But hey, I'm still always an optimist, so for those few Heat fans out there, I'll give you a small tidbit of hope. You ready?

Okay, so I've always over analyzed things. Screw it, it's what I do. So I'll present some insane correlations that suggest that the Heat will win the series in 6.

Flashback to 2011. The Heat lost to the Mavs in 6. The Mavs were beaten by D-wade in 2006, so the Mavs got revenge. Another interesting tidbit? The Mavs lost game 3 to go down 2-1 in the series. Although it wasn't in blowout fashion, it was a loss by a pretty strong margin. The Heat felt so confident that they even joked around before the next game (LBJ and Wade mocked Dirk). The loser of game 3 in the finals loses 92% of the time. Apparently in 2011, that wasn't the case.

Present day 2013. The Heat are down 2-1 to the Spurs. The Spurs beat Lebron in 2007, so perhaps Lebron gets revenge this year. Once again, in both 2011 and 2013, revenge-like story lines are present. I believe that the side that was wronged before will get revenge. Oh, another interesting tidbit? In both 2011 and 2013, the Bruins were in the Stanley Cup. So, I guess when the B's are in the Cup, the loser of game 3 wins the series.

Yes I was being ridiculous, but to be honest, the series is far from over. Both teams have stunk it up at least once. Lebron needs to wake up. But tonight's ass beating should definitely wake up the Heat. If Lebron and the Heat don't play with more intelligence, they won't deserve to win this series. I'm not one of those people who thinks that the losing team played with less "heart" or "grit". To me, that's a bunch of bull. The Heat still played hard, but they didn't play smart. San Antonio had a boatload of energy and momentum and it showed. The Heat didn't rotate intelligently and Lebron needs to play the right way. I'll elaborate on that tomorrow during my lunch break. Or maybe I'll be too depressed too. Whatever.

Oh yeah, this is also a Spurs team that went up 2-0 against the Thunder last year in dominant fashion, only to choke and lose the series. Sure they got better. But still...
