I’m really sorry for all those times that I said the Heat were done earlier in the season. That was stupid of me to say and I really feel bad about it.
To be fair to me, though, who could have anticipated that Luol “The Man from Sudan” Deng (listen up basketball-reference you know I love you but that nickname is WACK as HECK) would rejuvenate his career midseason after being almost killed by the negligent Bulls medical staff? I bet even Luol himself wouldn’t have predicted this. 31 points on 11 of 13? In the playoffs? If I’m a Charlotte fan, now is when I get mad at Michael Jordan for letting all this happen.
To say nothing of all the other rejuvenations (and initial juvenations) of a bunch of his teammates. Having Josh McRoberts suck doesn’t really matter when Josh Richardson starts contributing out of nowhere and Dwyane resumes his steroid regimen.
