This sums up the point I was making earlier in the week. If you have watched majority of the Heat games, you'll reach the same conclusion.
The Heat are going merrily along at 12-3. They openly give off the impression they're constantly operating at three-quarters speed and will wait to see if opponents interest them.
Down by eight to the Houston Rockets with six minutes to play? Down by seven to theMilwaukee Bucks with four minutes left? Down to the Cleveland Cavs by seven points with less than two minutes? Down by nine to the Phoenix Suns without Dwyane Wade? Down by five with two minutes left against the San Antonio Spurs missing their top six players?
The Heat won all of these games and there didn't seem to be all that much luck involved, unless you consider Ray Allen hitting several wide-open clutch 3-pointers as lucky. It seems that when the Heat decide to step on the gas, there's still not much most opponents can do about it.

Against the Spurs - they were going at half speed after they saw the roster they had to go up against.

Did he get fined for trashing Power Balance, an important NBA sponsor? I hope so, given his strong feelings on not messing with the money train.
An IMPORTANT NBA sponsor? Lol. They are bankrupt. Doubt they pay the NBA even 1% of those TV contracts.

If they were retired, I'd say good s**t. But everybody knows he already is a power tripping dickwad, and particularly doesn't like Duncan. Why put this out there to fuel the fire?
