We got off to an 0 and 7 start.
We were five and 15.
You know, and then to come all the way back and win 17 of our last 21 and make it to the second round of the playoffs.
And that was a group where a lot of guys were either getting their first opportunity.
Obviously, it was Dwayne Wade's rookie year.
Rafer Alston was really getting his first opportunity.
Damon Jones, you know, we had had the year before and had that great, you know, or we had, yeah, that year.
And so guys were getting their first big opportunity there.
To play.
And it was just fun.
I mean, it was, you know, nobody had any real expectations on us.
It was also Udonis' rookie year, Lamar Odom's first year and only year in Miami.
I mean, it was just my most fun year in the NBA.
I mean, it was great.
It went seven games.
Home team won every game.
And...
I mean, Dwayne Wade's first ever playoff game, he hits a game winner.
You know, I mean, there were just a lot of great memories.
But again, and I love the staff.
