But what if the Heat LOSE? By: DAN SHANOFF June 3, 2013 7:54 am ET

USP NBA: PLAYOFFS-CHICAGO BULLS AT MIAMI HEAT S BKN USA FL

Today’s Big Winner: Heat-Pacers Winner

Yes, but what if the Heat lose?

That is the most interesting question today. Because if Miami wins at home tonight to take its third consecutive Eastern Conference title, this back-and-forth seven-game series with the Pacers  — the Pacers’ presumptive breakthrough, the so-called decline of Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh — is a mere footnote en route to an epic, generation-defining Heat-Spurs NBA Finals.

But if they lose?

*LeBron James’ spectacular season is a failure, full stop.

*“The Big Three” era — already exposed — implodes.

*“Not one, not two, not three …” becomes “Just one?”
