The San Antonio Spurs still have that winning NBA Finals formula of good defense and a little luck on offense.

From time to time, we find a photo that is just so ridiculous we feel we absolutely must share with you.
Game 7. Eastern Conference Finals. The last time the Miami Heat were in this situation, they were coming off a convincing Game 6 win in 2012 and blew out the Boston Celtics 101-88. What a difference a year makes.

In many ways, LeBron, Wade & Co. strikes me as Chicago's new version of the Detroit Pistons' "Bad Boys," the hated mountain that the Michael Jordan-era Bulls once had to climb.
