Miami Heat

[empty cookie jar]

them dang ole heat

[shawnkang]

the heat will be fine

[jboy4]

Miami, what a joke. No even third best team in the east.

[Mac4Lyfe]

That would make you the dumbest person alive.

You really think 4 teams like NYK/TOR/CHA/NYJ/PHI/WAS/CLE/DET/MIL are gonna have a better record than the Heat?

I gave you BOS/ORL/ATL/CHI as locks. Find me 4 more teams better than the Heat.

I said if they don't make a roster move soon they "MIGHT" not make the playoffs. With Haslem now out, they have very little bench help and even with the Big3 there's not enough points to be had. Teams are going under the Heat's pick and rolls and forcing them to hit jumpshots. If teams can limit the Heat from getting to the line, they are going to struggle every night.

I think Indiana showed tonight that the Heat are challenged from the outside. Right now, I would pick Indy, Ny, Milwaukee and possibly Cleveland in front of Miami without Haslem. Charlotte and Toronto are toss ups IMO. Basketball is a team sport and when you only have one guy (Lebron) consistently showing up every night, you have issues. Bosh is stepping up of late but still a question mark. Wade will battle injuries all year too.

[Fischnasty]

wow. the pacers? seriously? the PACERS? kicking myself in the nuts for not betting the under on season wins for these chumps.

[SportsMushroom]

loads of people are regretting dolling out the cash for season tickets to this horror show, they really look ugly out there, missed shots, missed free throws, turnovers and no imagination

in comparison the pacers were playing attractive basketball

[Double Bogey]

Hope the public keeps on over rating them. Been making a killing fading this team.

[ToTheHole]

If Eric Dampier is the answer, then what the heck was the question?? Sooo many empty seats...

[maxcraft]

Heat on 5 against Lakers.. 2010 NBA Champs! The biggest 3 of all time!

[RonPaul2008]

Lebron looks pretty stupid for that big spectacle they made where he was like...we're going to win 5 or 6 or 7 championships.


If he had joined the bulls they would be unstoppable.

[jjgold]

No one is even at games

James killed his marketing campaign, Miami is a dead basketball place, what the fuk was he thinking???

And now everybody hates him too. Would be a different story if he was winning he'd be able to brush it off and have a rebuttal

[portnoy65]

Bosh athletic , but easy and thin

[kobefanatic]

Look who's decided to join our "hated" conversion: queen LeQuita in person!

i smell williams22 again

[adlai]

they'll still win it all... i'm saying this not as a heat fan.

[GettingScrilla]

i cannot believe I thought they would cover last night WTF...c mon D wade worst shooting performance of your career...c'monnnn mannnn!

[jjgold]

James was much more powerful in Cleve, I watched every game.

I do not even watch Miami anymore because arena is incredibly boring as is the team

It is really strange

[pozzy]

You won't be laughing once they gel with each other..

[lakerboy]

The funny thing is that people were trying to predict which games they would lose.

Go in here and take a look

Take a close look at the arguments made for the heat.

[dom75]

Here's to Indy for doing their homework and finding the Heat's weakness. Any team with any common sence at all will guard the paint and make the Heat shoot the ball.

[Naarmo]

LeBron will never win a ring,wont happen,especially in Miami.This team looks horrible and i doubt they will ever gel enough to play good basketball.
Next game against Orlando,can't wait

[iQon]

Not sure why people are surprised, this team had obvious holes in the frontcourt.

But I wouldn't be laughing too hard, it's only been 3 weeks. They'll make the playoffs. And with Wade AND LeBron on the same team, the refs will be bailing them out.

[trhmiami]

Lebron's finally whining and probably realized he never should have left Cleveland. He was the monster fish in a little pond and would have won a championship with Byron Scott coaching. The Heat may end up finding their chemistry but they have glaring needs and eventually all the stress and turmoil manifests itself....eventually if they can't find a way to start dominating like they thought they would it is gonna turn into an ego war between Lebron & Wade. Bosh was never worth the contract he nabbed.

They are going to get eaten alive

[marcoloco]

guys nba is not even 1 month in. season started what, 10/26? its 11/23.... relax 14 games in for the heat 8-6. 4th in the east. no need to panic

[JohnnyD4916]

The Miami Heat they should be undefeated right now

[gryfyn1]

this is ridiculous, any one with a lick of common sense knew this was how this season would go.

Its been being pointed out since July!! that they were soft inside and have a major lack of shooters outside of Wade and Lebron - which mean if one of them struggles the team loses.

[Pride]

the heat will turn it around but that is going to take some time.

Lebitch on the Bulls would have been championship worthy.

Here's to the Knicks in hopes they land Melo and Paul.

[craig4nr]

I wouldn't be surprised if things got better, but I'm not remotely surprised that they've started off so shitty.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Where is everyone getting at saying the Heat need to gel? What other team in basketball needed time to gel? I'm trying to think of a team playing average ball all of a sudden catching fire then went on to win a championship? Maybe someone can help me here but good teams are just that... a good team.

Didn't people say that the Heat didn't need to gel since the Big3 had already played together? Who else do they need to gel with? Dampier?? The Heat have gotten the benefit of the calls in 13 out of 14 games this season. The only reason they've won 8 games was because of the free throw disparity. If the refs called a fair game the Heat would only have 4 maybe 5 wins at this point. They've already played 9 games at home (the most of any team) and can't defend their house. Teams are not afraid of going there and playing them.

[kobefanatic]

honestly i think wade and lebron just don't mesh well with each other, both are ball dominators that needs to create to be effective, when one handles the ball the other one tends to be idle, i've noticed that the heat tends to go on a run when either one sits down

[phLLyphan11]

I still think the Heat will be in the East finals, but I don't see them getting past whoever the play...which is fine by me. Lebron James is a douche.

Yeah I agree, they're both so used to being stars they don't know how to play off another star or be a role player for a few minutes. The C's for example know how to lead and how to role...

[soli]

The Heat will have everything together by Playoffs.

[austin27332]

Miami are the most overrated sports team of the Decade.
