So... remember that crippling loss that the Heat suffered last night to the Clippers? Well, the Heat have found new ways to lose by losing to the Denver Nuggets by 130-102, no thanks to Lebron James, out with an ankle sprain (day-to-day). The 28-point loss was the biggest defeat of the Miami Heat of the season and interestingly enough, Dwyane Wade still has yet to snag a win against the Nuggets in Denver. The Heat played some of their most awful basketball yet, even worse than their performance last night in LA. The leading rebounders were Mike Miller, a shooting guard, with 8 rebounds and Juwan Howard with 7. Chris Bosh and Ilgauskas managed to get a combined 11 rebounds, showing how absolutely worthless these guys are at catching a damn ball when a SHOOTING GUARD outrebounded both of them. Miami turned the ball over 16 times compared to Denver's 9.
Although as a team the Heat performed much better in their last two games, the Heat were in desperate need of Lebron's talents, since he could have easily scored 30 points against Denver's lacking defense. Dwyane Wade scored below his 25.1 points season average, a comparatively paltry 16 points, 9 lower than average. After the game, "coach" Erik Spoelstra admitted that if Lebron is not able to play Saturday at the Bulls, the Heat face a serious risk of losing their 3rd straight game in what looks to be a playoff atmosphere type game for the two teams' first meeting of the season.
If this pace keeps up, Lebron is going to be a shoe-in to win MVP for a third year in a row. I agreed with his first MVP vote, leading the Cavaliers to one of their best seasons ever. Last year, I disagreed with Lebron winning MVP since Kevin Durant had a much better season and led the Thunder to their first playoff appearance since they were the Seattle Supersonics. This year however, Lebron has proven with two teams that he is the indisputable MVP. The Cavaliers have gone from having the best record in the NBA to the worst record and the Heat suffered their largest defeat of the season their first game without Lebron. If that isn't reason enough for Lebron to win MVP, I don't know what is. I'm hoping Lebron suffers a season ending injury and cause the Heat to miss the playoffs just prove both how unbelievably value he is and how fucking terrible his team and coach are other than Dwyane Wade.
