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.

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.

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.

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.

If he thinks playing for Spoelstra isn't much fun he is absolutely going to hate playing for that mainiac Riley.
That dude runs his players into the ground during practice and hates his players even smiling much less having a good time.
Be careful what you wish for LeBron.

The pieces don't fit. Boston was good immediately. Pau Gasol fit in with the Lakers immediately. Good players don't need time to figure out how to win with other good players. LeBron is a loser. They thought all they had to do was show up and win 10 championships together. Wade called them the greatest threesome ever. Hubris is a bitch.

You're crazy, Wade is just hurt. He's hit 3 of 30 of his last shots since injuring his wrist. They were 8-4 before and lost a toss-up game to Boston. LeBron and Bosh are fine they just don't have any depth after them, including Wade.

Michael choked with Scottie when he jumped back into the NBA, so that's a bad example. They needed a third addition to help them, and that was Rodman. Without Horace Grant they don't get the first three-peat either.
It's no excuse, Wade is a 26 PER player and he's gagging right now. 3-30.
Coach needs to give him some time off, or tell him to cool off.

Good example. Jordan was not in game shape, and outside of Pippen that Bulls team wasn't that good.
Had Jordan been in game shape, or returned more than 17 games into that season, they would've been title winners.
Had Jordan been given more than 17 games to go from completely out of basketball shape to NBA playoffs, like half a season (or the 66 or so games, + the preseason and off season to have gotten ready), the Bulls would've easily won the title that year.
