The Heat simply wanted it more. I don't buy the two stars crap. The Pistons simply did not match intensity in 4 games of this series. They did not bring A grade efforts, and we've gotten fat and happy as fans watching them toy with teams, assuming that the check would never come due.

This is a good reality check for some of these players, and I hope the arrogant coach and beyond-reproach front office. I'm not a hater by any means (look around) but this whole year bothered me despite the face of bravado and cheer I put on, sometimes due to obligation and other times, my own weak denial of my instincts.

McDyess was just interviewed on WDFN, he's destroyed inside. He said that he doesn't think he will ever get another shot at a title. It was a depressing interview to hear.
