Time Will Tell for Streaking Heat

Filed under: ,

LeBron JamesMILWAUKEE -- It was late in the first quarter, and LeBron James was sitting on the bench, looking at his finger, the ring finger on his left hand to be precise. He was biting at it, and eventually turned and called the trainer. This was it? A big moment?

The trainer brought over ... nail clippers. And James, wearing his wristband that didn't say LIVESTRONG on it, but rather KING JAMES, sat there and did his nails.

And that's when it hit me: we might be looking a little too hard at James, Dwyane Wade, that other guy and the Miami Heat for a telling moment. Each detail is not going to tell their story in early December. This thing is going to play out, and while they all have looked like a bunch of divas so far, brought down by their own egos, they are awfully talented.

The real news is that the Heat, in the past week, have started to look a little more like a team, albeit against bad opponents. Miami beat lowly Milwaukee, 88-78, Monday night in a game that proved nothing, said nothing. It was the Heat's fifth straight win.

"Going through those situations early in the season helped us," James said. "We couldn't right the ship, couldn't get through that. The early season trials and tribulations we've been through have helped us calm down."
