There isn't a more offensively challenged good team in the league than Miami. When the Heat simply couldn't score against New York's defense in Game 2, Mourning had a flashback. Start with me. Then Mourning made the observation that really hits home for Miami. Our defense is our crutch.
Defense can win games in the regular season.
Defense will keep you in games in the playoffs, but offense puts you over. From what we saw in Game 2, it's a wonder either team is allowed to claim victory. I've never seen a worse playoff game. Now, I know a greater basketball authority, John Thompson, looked at that defense and saw a work of art. Thompson is the father of modern defense, so I expect him to feel that way.
