Heat don't compete in less-than-thrilling opener

Found November 03, 2006 on Daily Basketball:
PLAYERS: Dwyane Wade,  Alonzo Mourning,  Gary Payton
TEAMS: Miami Heat

Sure, the Miami Heat didn't exactly start last season strong before winning the championship, but should they have been able to come out a little stronger against the Bulls (who lost to the Magic the next night)? I'm going to assume that Shaq, Gary Payton, and Alonzo Mourning have won their final championships. Dwyane Wade has years ahead of him, but the Heat are going to have to pull things together. If they lose by 42 in their first game against a team that is good but not elite, they're going to have a tough time after 82 games.
