Is it just me, or does LeBron look particularly pissed off in that video?

I'm telling you, 73 wins man.

There hasn't been a team this talented and this motivated to kick the league's ass since the year Jordan returned.

It's possible, but incredibly unlikely. Wade hasn't exactly been the picture of health the past few years, Bosh gets nicked up occasionally and their floor-spacer Miller is already out til January. Don't get me wrong I think they are going to win a butt-load of games -- like 65 -- but eclipsing the Jordan-Pippen Bulls of '96 is a tall order.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

lets go Lebronzes!

 

[Natebishop3]

Man... you guys remember how Boston started off when the big three first got together? I expect that kind of start for Miami...

 

[Natebishop3]

We've got a thread going in the Boston forum. Feel free to join in on the conversation guys

This is seriously the first time I can watch Boston without feeling deep hatred.

Lol, same here

 

[MickZagger]

Miami with 9 points in the first quarter...

bwahahahaa

 

[craigehlo]

Man the Heat role players look as bad as advertised. Both teams are playing great defense so far though.

This LeBron Nike commercial is a tone deaf as his awful "Decision" special. Never thought I could hate him more, but this pathetic attempt at rebuilding his brand is just insulting.

 

[KingSpeed]

Miami looks horrible. I don't see them winning more than 30 games this year.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Wow we got ourselves a "barn barner"

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

refs are horrible.

Jesus. Already you're starting that act again?

 

[andalusian]

Time to go for the kill Cho. Rudy, Expiring and a Rook for D-Wade. Do it. Do it.

 

[BGrantFan]

Did Riley think it was a good idea to have literally zero post players on offense? Bosh is a better face-up/high-post player than post-up player.

How soon until they have to start posting up James to try and create some space in this offense?

 

[KingSpeed]

Boston started great. Flew out of the gate and won 66 games. Could've won 70 if they didn't rest the stars at the end of the season.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wade won't make the All Star team.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

LeBron's team.

 

[andalusian]

Wade won't make the All Star team.

...In the east

Because Cho will get him here for Rudy, Miller, Joel and a rook.

 

[alex42083]

Wow... Heat look REAL bad. They're all trying to defer to one another, especially LeBron. I'm sure it'll take some time before they get rolling but wow... didn't expect to see this.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'm guessing some Boston staffer changed the rim height.

 

[KingSpeed]

To be clear, when the Boston big three got together, they started the season 8-0 and 11-1.

 

[alex42083]

Bosh looks like a stiff who forgot to play basketball.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm so loving how much Miami sucks.

Enjoy it while it lasts

Bosh is going from a #1 in Toronto to a #3 in Miami. He'll need to learn to find out what his role will be with Wade back in the line-up.

 

[MickZagger]

Speaking of rat ball. From what I've seen, this Miami team has no structure on offense.

LeBron looks out of his element without the ball in his hands during most possessions. This is a problem I thought this Miami team would face.

 

[BGrantFan]

Speaking of rat ball. From what I've seen, this Miami team has no structure on offense.

They aren't running a post, and they can only score consistently on the break. They are not difficult to defend in the half-court sets with 5 perimeter players. Plus, as I've posted before, they only allow one ball on the court during play.

 

[Darkwebs]

The Heat looks bad now, but once they get used to playing with each other, they will be a juggernaut. Some of it may be jitters by the Heat- they have been getting a lot of media attention and hype.

 

[BGrantFan]

Wade already thinking about his stats. He did the "dribble until the buzzer sounds, then launch the ball" move that tries to sell the fans that you were trying to get off a shot, but you just missed, when in reality, you're pissed that your dumbass teammate passed you the ball.
