ASK IRA: Have the Heat simply run out of answers?
Q: Ira, I know it’s your job to ask questions and try to get answers. But blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Don’t say it, do it.
Have some pride. – Angel. A: Agree, because even as the questions are asked and then answered by Erik Spoelstra, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, the words aren’t getting anything done.
With the Panthers you could appreciate the physical wear and mental drain of three consecutive seasons in the Stanley Cup Final. No one is asking them to explain themselves for this season’s step back. They’ve earned the time off.
But this is a Heat team that has been done in the postseason by May 1 each of the past two years. The fatigue should be with losing. Even last year, during the 10-game losing streak, the games were more competitive than this recent stretch.
It hasn’t felt this low since the 11-30 start to 2016-17. But even then there was time to make things right with the 30-11 finish. Now there is only an expiring clock .
