The Heat embarrassed themselves on Monday, losing to the Cavs, 138-83, in one of the worst blowout losses in NBA playoff history. It was the sort of defeat that should make the organization question everything.
Miami couldn’t be bothered to try in the lopsided loss, trailing 43-17 at the end of the first. At halftime, the Heat were down by 39, 72-33, prompting Inside The NBA’s Ernie Johnson to blast the team, saying the first two quarters “might be the worst game I’ve ever watched.”
Co-host Charles Barkley added, “I try not to ever use the word quit or choke… This is quitting at its finest.”
