To be fair, Abbotsford hadn't lost four in a row all season long. But when it mattered most, they ended up losing that fourth.

Can't fault MOST of the players. In the last four games, it was really telling whose heart was in it and whose wasn't. Kolanos' wasn't. Connelly may have had his heart in it, but he was pretty bad the last few games. Desbiens showed up in game 4 on Tuesday, but forgot it was a 7 game series.
Just frustrating to watch the Byrons, Sylvesters, Nemiszs, Wilsons, Jessimans and others busting their asses and giving it all they've got, but some of their teammates played with little passion.

Good point.
This team was disrupted about half way through the season and while they showed signs of brilliance, they just couldn't regain the chemistry they had at the beginning of the season when they were battling OKC for #1 spot in the league.
So, yes, overachieved is a good word to use to sum up the second half of the Heat's season.
