Spurs Convincingly Beat Heat for NBA Title

The Miami Heat, in the just-finished National Basketball Association Championship Series against the San Antonio Spurs, were going for their third straight title and second straight series win against the Spurs.  But after the first two games, which the teams split and both of which were highly competitive, San Antonio shifted into a higher gear and routed Miami in the next three games, winning the series four games to one.  I was hoping that, in the last contest, the Heat would rise up to the occasion and would turn the series around.  It certainly started that way, with Miami, behind the efforts of their standout Lebron James, built up an impressive early 22-6 lead.  I watched that part of the game and then switched over to baseball on ESPN.  But at the bottom of the screen were game updates...which showed a strong Spurs comeback and, then, lead.  In the final three games, Miami seemed tired out by the speedy passing attack of San Antonio and too many times were just a step behind their opponents.  Dwyane Wade, one of Miami's "big three", seemed tired for much of the series.  Maybe he needs to examine where he's at after this season with his future.  I appreciate the three titles he helped bring to Miami, especially that exciting series in 2006 against Dallas in the pre-Lebron era.  There is a lot of speculation floating around as well as to whether James or Chris Bosh will remain on the team or try out their talents elsewhere.  But anyway I look at it, it's been a great run.  Speaking of great runs, the San Antonio Spurs have been incredible over the past several years, consistently winning at least 50 games every season and winning five titles.  Names like Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli now have a new addition: Kawhi Leonard, who sparked the Spurs series victory over the Heat...
