Things in Miami aren’t looking so hot, at least on the basketball court. As of this writing the team has lost 11 games in row. Things started poorly when Dwayne Wade went down with in injury in the opening games of the season, and have continued to spiral out of control since. Coach Pat Riley is continually on the hot seat, and the play of Shaquille O’Neal has also slowed down, which can be expected from a player who had the term “hack a Shaq,” named especially for him. Wade is back, and is personally playing well, averaging over 24 points a game, but as the old adage goes, he can’t do it all himself. Back up center Alonzo Mourning is also gone for the year, putting even more stress on the bench. Things won’t get any better when the Spurs come into town.
San Antonio is also in a mini-funk, losing five of ten, and owning a below .500 record on the road. Like the Heat, the Spurs tough road can be attributed to bad health. Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili have both seen considerable time on the injury list this year, but seem to be coming out of it now, bad news for the rest of the league. Tony Parker is currently the number one offensive weapon on the team, averaging 20.2 points a game.
The Heat are a team that are sinking fast. I guess it won’t be a shocker here when I expect the Spurs, despite the slight slide lately, will go to Miami and take care of business in their generally usually effective way.
