There was such a magical vibe to last season’s Miami Heat team, the kind that would endear to any fan base. Perhaps it was the us-against-the-world mentality they played with while everyone else dismissed them as a non-threat. But those who followed what that group accomplished knew they had the audacity to believe in their potential because they put in the hard-nosed effort day in and day out to materialize their ambitions into reality.
For most of this new NBA season, the Heat and those who follow the team have sought that same uplifting feeling from last campaign’s run, and at first it was as tough as finding a genie in a bottle.
