Miami Heat: They Have To Realize That Teams ‘Get Up’ To Play Them
The theme is, simply, this. Teams get up to play the Miami Heat.
Just for kicks, for contextual reasons, and to show the hypocrisy of the entire scenario… take the following in example.

This couldn’t be any further from the truth. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
The Lakers weren’t the team coming into the game leading their conference or at least, fighting for a share of it. The Lakers weren’t the team coming into the game and though off a tough defeat to Denver, shocking the basketball world as Milwaukee and Brooklyn have sputtered out of the gate.
The Miami Heat weren’t the team that has been without their top star for some time, leaving the the masses wondering if this will be a wasted year in the twilight of one of the game’s best ever and the second greatest player to ever dawn an NBA jersey, at worst, in LeBron James.
