History favors the bold

Building a quality NBA team takes both money and talent, and a bit of luck. Make no mistake - everyone looks at the payroll of the heat but mark Cuban is no spending slouch either. He just spent it on the bench. And that is a good reason why they are winning and have, according to history, a probable chance of closing this out and further setting doubt on lebrons shoulders. Bosh, wade, nor Joel Anthony will get more scrutiny this summer for a heat loss than lebron. Fair or unfair. But is he the type to bounce back, like kobe? He can't bolt for a new city looking for new teammates, so he must learn how. Wade will be a year older and more banged up and bosh will still be bosh. The will bring in more vets, but have no trade bait. Though with the players that absorb 3/4 of the heats salary, they shouldn't have to make many moves - aside from moving Bibby to a retirement home. And if the mavericks close out, the bolder owner, who's name is Cuban for spending and investing on more not so cheap but better fitting pieces (haywood, kidd, terry, barea, chandler) rather than high priced, shiny parts, they classic formula for winning - a 15 man team - will prove history the wiser.
