    I've told you guys Miami was overhyped from the get-go. Very few believed me.

    I'd gladly switch places with them (health wise) though. Whereas Portland is struggling because of injuries, they're struggling because they haven't found a flow just yet.

    Wade going 1-13.
    Bosh getting D'ed up by McRoberts.
    And LeBron bulldozing over people and getting called for charges.

    Hilarious.

    We've had major injuries to our two best players (Roy, Oden) and have had a tougher schedule (8 road games, 4 back to backs) and we've still underachieved in my opinion (we should've won the two games against OKC and the game against the Jazz) to a meh 8-6 record. According to Wade, "the greatest 3some ever" can't even compete with the Indiana Pacers and they have the same crappy record we do. They're horrible to the core. And I don't buy this "they need time to find a flow" excuse. In 2007, when Ray Allen, KG, and Pierce came together on Boston, they didn't need time to find no fucking flow. They started the season 8-0 and romped over the whole league all season long. They only lost 16 games all year and a few of them were at the end of the season when they rested their starters for the playoffs. According to Wade, the 3-6-1 is better than those three guys, so why aren't they dominating? I used to root for LeBron in Cleveland but have finally now realized the truth that he is simply a Loser. Haha, HCP, remember when you said they'd go 75-7? Oh well, lol. I wouldn't trade Oden for LeBron and I'm serious.

    I was wrong about the win total obviously. I still think they win it all, no doubt.

    As far as "the greatest 3some ever" debate........ had to of been....... Me, my cousin Michelle and Mrs. BeerBoy! Man what a night!

    Miami will roll people after the all star break. There is no way anyone should have expected them to dominate from the start with an entire new team. I have a feeling Spoelstra will be fired because Lebron is a little bitch and is complaining about fun, and Riley will take over. They will be really hard to beat come playoff time

    LeBron James has 6 offensive rebounds in 14 games of play. How long before he just takes over the team and causes an implosion? I ask, because what the Heat are doing right now is not playing to any of their players' strengths.

    :lol:

    Hmm give it some time, but I would like to have another coach though.

    Once LeBron and Wade are normal again, I think this team will be just fine in the playoffs. They've lost close games to elite teams, and against the Pacers primarily because Wade hasn't even been at Mo Williams level.

    Win it all? Hahahaha! Theres no way in HELL they could ever beat the Lakers.

    And MM, why couldn't we expect them to dominate from the start? Boston dominated from the start in 2007 and they had an entirely different roster.

    Well Wade missed the preseason, and his production versus Boston and the other teams is like night and day.

    Is there seriously a worse starting PG than Carlos Arroyo?

    James Jones
    Joel Anthony
    Eddie House
    Jamaal Magloire
    Dexter Pittman

    Their bench, literally anyone outside the three....

    No. I hope they're not expecting him to be the next Rondo, lol.

    LeBron/Wade doesn't work. They don't complement each other. Either Wade has the ball and he plays aggressively or LeBron does (and LeBron does it better). They take turns so it's kind of like just having one of them. Neither of them shoot great from outside so they can't work like that in tandem. Ray Allen, KG, and Pierce all do different things so it works.

    Can't wait to see Orlando get revenge tomorrow. Oh boy.

    It did work until Wade hurt his Wrist and missed the game against Memphis, and then came back too early against Indiana. Remember he's not at 100%.

    The only clashing was in the Boston game, where Wade was just fine but played horrible and the game was still a tossup.

    Excuses don't win championships. With "the greatest threesome of all time," they should be able to get by with just two of them playing well.

    Hm, Maybe Andre Miller, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Brandon Roy are the "greatest threesome of all time."

    I have a feeling this thread is going to look pretty damn foolish in about 5 months.
