It's all right in front of Tim Duncan now, and the big fella can feel it.
The Miami Heat's regular season dominance came on the back of a 27-game winning streak that defined the team's excellence. Coincidentally, the Heat's hope of a championship now rest on whether the team can win just two games in a row.
During the NBA Finals, one player often has to step up in a big way for his team to eventually hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy into the air. For the San Antonio Spurs, the player who has stepped up hasn't been Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli or Tony Parker; instead, it's been Danny Green.
The Miami Heat are trying to become the best team in basketball with a second straight NBA championship in the 2013 NBA Finals, but is it possible Heat fans should also be concerned about the worst team in baseball?
The Miami Heat have been playing the entire 2012-2013 season with a mentality of championship or bust. After dropping Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the Heat's proverbial backs are against the wall and the championship dreams are close to becoming another Finals nightmare.
