For me it’s Derrick Rose’s career if he hadn’t been injured. The youngest mvp in history with some of the most electric basketball we’ve ever seen, it feels a little like robbery to have not been able to see that unfold.

I understand this thought process but I think it’s more likely the Heat do something drastic and become even worse in 14. I know the Spurs were motivated due to the devastating loss in 13, but Duncan and Pop with a young Kawhi didn’t exactly need motivation.

The Spurs had chances but never were able to go back to back. It's not unlikely that without that revenge factor of avenging their only Finals loss against the team that did it to them that the next season in 2014 they come up a bit short.

It’s definitely possible there was talks of one of Wade or Bosh being traded if they lost to Boston in 2012
