"15 STRONG"
Now that the Finals are over the content of the Riley punch bowl have been revealed. The "wiley" Riley motivational tool:
"thousands upon thousands of small pieces of paper,
each about the size of a baseball card, bearing
the words "15 Strong" on one side. On the other side of each
card was a different message, depending on the player who put it there"
Charley Rosen has his heroes and goats of game six and series
Bill Simmons must read mockery of Miami's Batman and Robin
The parallels between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Miami Heat are inevitable.
We have two teams:
Most of all what ties the two together is the hunger to win that surfaced from within the two clubs and climaxed in the end

The parallels between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Miami Heat are inevitable.
We have two teams:
- that have won their respective championships for the first time in their franchise's history
- that have a young emerging superstar in the making (Wade & Staal)
- that have a lineup loaded with championship starving veteran talent assembled through free agency or via the trade route
- that have extended their season way too late into the year (but that is another story)
Most of all what ties the two together is the hunger to win that surfaced from within the two clubs and climaxed in the end
Congratulations
