Are there supernatural forces conspiring against Miami (incomprehensible stats coming)?

Regardless whether you are a uncompromising hater or an evanescent band-wagoner one has to arrive at the conclusion that the basketball gods seem to be enraged against the Heat right now.

It started when rumors surfaced that Carlos Arroyo was to be cleared to make room for Mike Bibby, on the weekend before the Knicks' game.

Since then, a conflagration of incredible misfortune has plagued this team. You may say they are not a great team, and that is quite a plausible argument, however... To lose a game the way it was lost against the Knicks was a combination of great opponent play but also bad bounces. Remember that halftime shot by the Knicks... that is just sheer fortune.

To follow that up with a disastrous 24 foundering against Orlando, in which Orlando also played well, but they too, had an almost supernatural round of good fortune from the three arc.

And then San Antonio... at one point in that game, (a statistic provided by Sun Sports), the magic and Spurs where hitting 74% from the THREE POINT LINE.

74% from downtown. That is utterly incomprehensible, I don't care how bad of a defensive team you are, such a figure quite honestly makes you wonder if there is a conspiracy at work.

Chicago today... again, not one shot would go for Miami. I mean I don't care how bastardy unlucky you are, if you put up 17 game tying or winning shots, you will make at least 5 or 6 of them by PROBABILITY, they are professional players and shooting 6% is not exactly acceptable.

So, teams hitting 70% from three point land, Miami 1-17 (6%) in last chance shots. Such numbers are, simply put, not normal or open to being rational in any shape or form.

Besides their obvious weaknesses, are the Heat experiencing the worst bout of bad luck in professional sports in the last year?
