Is it possible that the Heat, with their collection of superstars and supervillians, are too flawed to make any kind of post season run? That their recent losses to New York, Orlando, and San Antonio are indicators that Miami can't beat good teams in a four game series? That they can't hold leads down the stretch? That LeBron's jumpshot is going to doom them if they keep leaning on it in crunch time? Is it possible San Antonio just showed the entire NBA how to beat the Heat, and beat them soundly? Is it possible the entire Miami Heat experiment is destined to fail, and was destined to fail from the beginning?

Or...
Is it possible Miami has a very talented team, who play every single night with a target on their backs? Is it possible that all the bad teams playing their best basketball against the Heat wear them down a bit, and when the good teams are also playing their hardest, the Heat struggle? Is it possible their current three game losing streak is due to the fact that they have faced three tough teams in a row? Including back to back nights on the road against Orlando and San Antonio, the latter of whom happens to own the best record in the entire NBA, and played out of their minds against Miami, putting on an unbelievable (and difficult to repeat) shooting performance? Is it possible that other teams will find facing LeBron and Dwyane Wade, in a seven game series, come playoff time, to be about as much fun as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick? Is it possible that this team faces so much media scrutiny that we've overanalyzed them to the point where we have convinced ourselves that they are worse than reality?
Is it possible we are overreacting just a wee little bit?
