The Heat is on Dallas

No one took more heat this season than Miami.
Now, the Heat seem to have warmed up to the task.
Miami took out Chicago on Thursday night to reach the NBA Finals against Dallas starting next week.
The Mavericks are coming off a five-game victory over Oklahoma City.
Dallas was very impressive in comeback victories over the young Thunder.
However, it is Miami that would appear to have it going the best and will be the favorite.
The Heat was criticized all year. Every loss was cause for critics to attack from every direction.
However, in the end, the Heat’s big three players have come together.
And, LeBron James is proving during the playoffs that he is the NBA’s best player.
It has taken a while for Miami to make the marriage of three superstars work. However, James along with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh seem to have it figured out.
Miami’s three is better than Dallas big one (Dirk Nowitzki).

Since the Heat are obviously loved in Florida, I think it would be fitting for them to gather & throw out the first pitch @ a Marlins game.

Then I would have the ghost of Osama bin Laden blow up the ball.

By the way, Go Mavs.
