A Sports Blog: Bulls give the Heat something to cry about

For anyone who loves the NBA and hates the Heat, Sunday was the day to watch one of the most glorious victories for the Bulls, particularly when Lebron James and Chris Bosh both failed to score the game winning basket.  These shots were not only the deciding factor of who won and who lost but also which team has the most confidence and ability going into the playoffs next month. Never mind the fact that the Bulls are 8-14 against top six teams while the heat are only 1-9.  What is particularly disturbing is the Heats inability to make crucial last second baskets and to hold big leads when they matter the most.  
While most players would accept their defeat in frustration and vow to correct these unforgivable travesties, the Heat on the other hand continue to fail and with every passing lose. They have become demoralized husks of their former selves as they continue to lose games that they are more than capable of winning.  So in a way it's not too surprising that according to Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra, "a couple of guys" were crying in the locker room after the game.  
While losing four straight games to teams that both mauled(Spurs), bounced back (Magic), shouldn't have won (Knicks) and held strong (Bulls) against this once idolized Heat team, i could understand there being some disappointment.  Hell, even a thrown chair or two or even a dented locker would have sufficed to show their frustration.  But sadly, it seems players need to express them selves in more effeminate ways to be heard. By that I mean sobbing and feeling sorry for yourself, kinda how most people felt when they lost their little league game, or sprained their ankle and couldn't play for the rest of the game.  When your young, crying and whinning was the only way to get people to pay attention to you, to make people feel sorry for you.
It appears that the Heat spent too much time regressing with their favorite happy go lucky sports films with the sad kid becoming a sports star instead of formulating ideas on how to improve their game. 
While the heat do get a break from facing strong opponents this week when they face Portland on Tuesday, they still have to go up against the unstoppable Lakers on Thursday as well the Spurs next Monday, both of which have proved their ability to dominate teams without mercy. Unless the big three can figure out how to stop tripping over themselves game after game, the crying game will only become a soap opera as the regular season slowly comes to a close.
