You can spell heart without the HEAT!

Things we have learned from this years NBA finals.

1.  Not only is Lebron James not better than Michael Jordan, he isn't even better than Dwyane Wade.  I actually feel terrible about mentioning Jordan in the same blog as either of them.  

2.  Dirk Nowitski is indeed a great player.  Easily the best European player to ever play in the league.  But let's slow down this talk about top 10 ever.  1 title does not an all time great make.  Remember this wasn't the first NBA Finals he has played in and things didn't go so well the 1st time.

3.  Quiet as it's kept, coaching actually does matter in the NBA.  See Rick Carlisle using that zone defense which seemed to completely stifle the Heat offense and see Erik Spoelstra's inability to make any coaching change to attack it.  

4.  Three super talented and athletically gifted players will not win against 8-10 guys who not only can play but can think basketball in a 7 game series if none of the three is a killer.

5.  The NBA playoffs still can't touch March Madness.
