They have field at only -250, I dont care that the Heat have the "big three", it wont be enough, they need more help down low, better guard play, it just wont be enough folks, so dont bank on them winning.

i completely agree. not to mention, its going to take this team (which only has 3 players from last years roster) half the season atleast to develop chemistry. and im still curious to see how the "big three" divide up their scoring every game. they all are used to scoring 25-30 a game so when one of them has to take a hit, we'll see the reaction. i dont doubt that the heat will probably win 3 out of the next 5, but i highly doubt them winning it this year.Comment -
I think they just signed Ilgauskas. As much as that improves their team, I need to see how their bench will look like at the start of the season for a better prediction.Comment -
i hope they dont even get into playoffs so all of the can eat itComment -
Since when is a sportsbook stupid and gives away free money
Comment -
I agree it is still too early to predict because they have no bench but the books probably know that they will end up with a kick ass team by the start of season.Comment -
I agree that it won't be easy for the Heat to win...
but its not the books that are stupid, its the public and the media feeding the public that are willing to pay those odds...
the books are smart actuallyComment -
If Boston won it their first year with their big 3, I dont see why the heat cant win it with an even better big 3.Comment -
Haslem
Bosh
James
Wade
Chalmers
Miller
Ilgasukas
Pittman
Varnado
Randolph
Scheyer
that is what they right now that is probably a 70 win team, I hope not but they look goodComment -
guys...calm the puck down...is way to early to speculate, a lot of things WILL happen...injuries and egos can tear the team apart.Comment -
from the summer league team plus guys under contractComment -
all those guys might not make it if they upgradeComment -
your joking right, they got mike miller, haslem and z also and plus they will add even moreComment -
They will have to do something to shore up their Inside Defense, even the perimeter defesne may be average depending who start at guard. With Chalmer at PG Im not sure that this team can get consistent stops.
And Z isnt the answer inside Cleveland got steamrolled by oralndo because Z got eaten alive by him.Comment -
Because the Celts 'big 3' didnt win because of just the big three - they won because they a young point guard developing into one of the best, and Young center developing into a defensive force, an elite defensive stopper coming off the bench, and as well as team commitment to defense led by one of the top defenive asst coaches in the league.
Im now saying the heat won't or can't win, they just have alot more to go -Comment -
varnado and maybe pittman can help, even though he is fat pittman still anchored the best FG% defense in the nationComment -
People were saying the same thing about Boston. Except here you have Wade with a ring, and the two time MVP Lebron carrying a medicore Cleveland squad to 60 + wins. People are wondering what Lebron can do with a squad consisting of Wade, Bosh and some good role players (which they have been acquiring so far.) It seems like everybody it already counting them out, which would be a terrible mistake...Comment -
gotta go with the lakers!.. phil does win in 3'sComment -
all i can say is : you never know ...Comment -
fade the heats , we will make big money this seasonComment -
Miami is a bit over price.Comment -
fading the heat i hope, the public pounds them big timeComment -
Books are just getting all the sucker money in at a high price. Odds will change as the season goes along.Comment -
If ONE of the big three go down with an injury, they are out of the race just like that. Sportsbook.com has my Bulls at 25-1 to win it all, which is absolutely ridiculous... might throw down on that after doing some shopping.Comment -
Well first off, Boston had KG, and you can't compare Bosh to KG sorry, doesn't work.
Second off Boston had an inside rotation of Perkins, Baby, KG, PJ brown, and a couple other guys. They were stacked on the inside. They were commited to defense first.
Pierce > Wade IMO also. So that leaves Lebron better than Ray Allen sure I'll give in on that one. Boston was pretty deep all over as well.
They had a very stacked bench. Doc Rivers > than splokstra or whatever his name is.
Well and I think the biggest thing Boston had is toughness. Miami doesn't have it up and down that roster except for Wade.
I could go on and on about why that Boston team won, and why this Miami team isn't anything like them.
Not saying Miami can't do something, they have the potential to make something happen.
But crowning Miami champions in july and 70 wins, is just ridiculous.Comment -
That Boston team damn near won 70 games though, and they won the title so even if they are not quite as good will be tough to beat.Comment -
i dont think it's worth playing this kind of chalk to win champs..we'll see how good they are in playoffsTennis Record
27-33 +8.9Comment -
thats about right, im hearing theyll probably end up with Juwan Howard... what I see happening with this Heat team is they will have a great regular season, I see them winning 65 or so games... but like the past 2 years Lebron will go home earlier than expected, I think the East should be very strong, Chicago, Boston, Orlando are all formidable teams, and Atlanta if they get Shaq might also have something to say, though I'd rank them lower than the 4 teams I mentioned before, the Bucks are also an up and coming team. The Lakers on the other hand, theyre only real resistance will be the Thunder, Dallas might be good but they're old as hell, Portland and Houston(the team that scares me the most out west when right) are very good when healthy but those are extremely rare. Lakers will 3-peat... but alot can change it's true for now I see the Lakers winning it though.Comment -
probably another title win this year.
if they can win with shaq , they sure can do it with Lebron .Comment
