MIAMI?
Give TNT analyst Steve Kerr credit, he isn't even waiting for training camp to write off the Miami Heat from a fourth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals.
Instead, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the former NBA champion shooting guard and general manager of the Phoenix Suns already has come out against the Heat's chance for a third consecutive NBA championship.
No team has won three consecutive championships since the Los Angeles Lakers' run from 2000 to 2002. No team has advanced to four consecutive NBA Finals since the Boston Celtics from 1984 to 1987.
"There's a reason these teams don't do it," Kerr said. "Emotionally, it's just exhausting to keep doing it year after year, particularly when you have to deal with everything Miami has to deal with on a daily basis, just the constant critiquing and scrutiny on the team, and then you factor in the injuries with Wade and Bosh and their health.
"I don't think Miami will get out of the East this year."
The Heat open training camp Oct. 1 at AmericanAirlines Arena, opening the regular season Oct. 29 against the visiting Chicago Bulls.Source: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sfl-miami-heat-steve-kerr-s091613,0,4250684.story?track=rss
