Sports Illustrated has an excellent article on how the 2011 Finals are shaping up to be a replay of the 1984 Finals when Larry Bird's Celtics stole TWO marches on the seemingly impregnable LA Lakers, while then Coach Pat Riley presided over the Gotterdaemmerung.
Now Heat executive chief Riley is watching the Heat blow TWO games on a familiar site---THE FREE THROW LINE!!!
I put this in caps-bold because not one commentator has commented on this abysmal showing of the Heat at the line. Last night, besides the pivotal miss with 30 seconds left by Wade [after his first bounced in apparently by hocus-pocus], Wade missed two in a row once as did Bosh and if memeory serves, King James himself TWICE double-muffed free throws. And yet NOT ONE comment on free throws, not even by Coach Spoelstra after the game.
Is somebody playing games or is mentioning missed free throws---the Mavs made a much higher pct than the Heat----somehow not Politically Correct?
