NBA: Chicago Bulls Sweep, Miami Heat Weep

Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls further asserted their place at the top of the NBA's list of elite teams by extinguishing the Miami Heat, 87-86, Sunday, March 6, capping a 3-0 record against Lebron James and the Miami Heat this year.

As the Bulls celebrated yet another hard-fought, gritty win, the Heat were in the locker room, feeling the effects of yet another close loss.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told the media that the team was so affected emotionally by its latest loss that some members of the team were crying in the locker room after the game.

Yes, this was Miami's fourth loss in five games. Yes, in all four losses (minus the Spurs beat-down), the Heat had chances to win or tie in regulation.

But crying after a loss? This shows you why they really can't get things done in the fourth quarter.

They have no heart.

Yes, this was another big loss, but it is the regular season here. Repeat: regular season.

This wasn't a loss in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Going into the playoffs with a mindset like this makes me wonder if it will take just one loss in a seven-game series to knock the Heat off their game.

LeBron James may have taken his talents to South Beach, but he left something in Cleveland—his will to win big games.

"The Heatles" forgot one thing, too—the Beatles were the Fab Four, not the "fab three."

Until the Heat can add their George Harrison, their fans won't be the ones crying in hysteria.

The Heat players will be sobbing their way to a one-and-done appearance in the playoffs.
