The Miami Heat are down 0-2 in their first-round clash with the Milwaukee Bucks, with Game 3 on the horizon. But I feel fine.
The Heat lost in gutting fashion in Game 1 after going up early on the Bucks, maintaining that lead into the half, but only to lose in overtime on a last-second shot from Khris Middleton. But I feel fine.
Miami was then gutted in a 34-point loss in Game 2, run over by a hot Bucks team in the Milwaukee rematch, are now headed home, and lagging by two losses. But I feel fine.
Despite the fashion in which Miami was handed an L, the pieces are all there to win the series.
