The NBA Playoffs affords fans another opportunity to watch the Heat struggle. For some, the Heat are no longer the team to root against: “The Decision” was bad, but perhaps not worthy of more than one year of scorn. To some degree, I sympathize with this perspective.

During this year’s NBA playoffs, feel free to enjoy the Heat’s defeats.

For Davis, speaking in front of a group of freshmen presented a different obstacle from an opposing player guarding him along the perimeter.
