    Lol. I think the make of this team is just absurd in the first place. Wade, LeBron and Bosh. All score stations. However they get crushed over and over again in the paint. It's much like when the Nuggets picked up Iverson, just makes for a losing formula.

    Lebron never once had scrubs. If you are in the NBA you are far from a scrub. Lebron had all the parts he needed to win, but couldnt get it done. Lets be real about this, nobody has any right to argue the side of Lebron James. He has not won anything.

    Bosh looks like he is playing much better than last season.

    honestly I think they play great with Lebron OR Wade out there on their own. Both of them together has some great chemistry too, but I think they need to work the kinks out just a little further. In my opinion, I think having these 2 guys on their team will do more for them in the long run, than game to game play. Wade out? Lebron takes over. Lebron wants a break? Wade takes over. Cant not mention Bosh tho, great night he had last night. Very interested to see how these guys use patience as a tactic to win, and with the short schedule, I think this strategy needs to be emphasized even more so.

    They just look unsure when they both play, well they did almost win it last year

    It has to be Lebron though controlling the game not Wade

    Lebron James is clearly the best player in the NBA and the Heat are the best team in the NBA as long as LeBron is playing well.

    He has yet to prove he can play as needed on the big stage.

    End of story.

    I almost prefer the Heat at times w/o Wade. LeBron and Bosh both play much better w/o Wade. LeBron reverts back to his old Cleveland days, Bosh is much more effective as a no 2 option than the no 3.

    However, Heat are a way better fastbreaking team w/ Wade, and much better defensively.

    lebron worked his ass off in the off season to develop his outside shot. hard work is paying off. he is easily the best player in the game now

    go on youtube and watch "striving for greatness" its a nike documentary following KD and lebron during some offseason workouts. its crazy

    pat riley has done an incredible job putting together this team. i think shane battier will be the key this year. really all lebron needs is a team full of lockdown D/3point shooters. battier, james jones, mike miller type guys compliment lebrons game perfectly

    Heat are better when Lebron is dominating the ball. He seems to get lost out there at times when it is "Wade Time" on the possession.

    I dont understand why you hate on fish? Guy has proven over time to be a solid NBA player and has hit big shots all of his life and won rings. Did he cost you that many bets? Like seriously man.

    LOL they beat a San Antonio team on the road with out Ginobli. and an FYI for all the geniuses here without Ginobli SA is a sub 500 team over all so on the road one would expect them to be bad. And tonight they beat the Lakers, a lottery team. So I wouldnt put a ton of stock in those wins.
