Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

Well, well, what do you know? We have ourselves a series. The NBA finals just got really good.

You know, is that something that you'd be saying this morning if you understood or if you got it?

I would say no.

Like if you still have learned absolutely nothing about the Miami Heat.

If you have not been paying attention, then you're

probably pretty shocked right about now. Like you can't believe we actually have a

series that they're actually going to play this series, that the series isn't actually over yet, if you

know nothing about nothing or you haven't been paying attention. Personally I

couldn't be any less surprised because I stopped doubting these dudes a long time ago.

Going into the weekend, I told you that everybody assuming that this series was going to be a sweep or landslide was about to look pretty

stupid.

And right now, everybody who assumed that it was going to be a sweep or a landslide looks pretty stupid.

Meanwhile, all I said is that the heat are going to show up

and do what they always do.

Grind, fight, get nasty, hang around.

And if you don't finish them, when you have the opportunity, they will rise up and they'll stab you in the heart.

If you don't drive a steak right through theirs, how could

you not know that by now? How could you not know that by now if you've been watching them because they've been doing it over and

over this post season and then they did it again last night. Once again the

Miami Heat going to somebody else's house and they ripped their home cord right out from underneath them.

And once again, the heat going to somebody else's house and ripped their souls right in front of their own fans.
