The Heat weren't a complete failure

In NBA news the heat not winning the title was seen as some sort of victory, proving that superstar-teams are a flawed model which you have to have a complete team to win a title. Tell that to the Celtics and Bulls, two of the best teams in the league who fell under the Heat's boot in the playoffs. Miami was two games away from winning the title, in a series that came down to a last minute or last second shot in four of the six games. This game was covered by so many reporters, that this information can be found on many blogs and in the NBA news. The gap between the Heat and the Mavericks was not an ocean, it was a stream. That the Heat could not get across it is not an indication that the model is flawed, it's simply an indication that the Mavericks put together one heck of a run with one heck of a team.

But the model itself worked. If you consider that the Heat is highly likely to improve in the future, both in their internal mechanics and in improving their core, the Heat weren't a complete failure. A failure?Absolutely. No way should it have been this hard for them, no way should they have pranced like they did in preseason, no way should the roster have relied on pieces they knew were so out-dated. But they were successful, just not as successful as you would think they would be, or that they should be.
