Doesn't matter what ESPN thinks, they're trash. They had Miami barely making the playoffs in 08-10 and the Heat ended up as the 5th seed.

I think who we end up trading Cole for will play a big part in our success or failure. That rumored Cole for Shumpert trade would work out very well for us.

PG - Chalmers
SG - Wade
SF- Deng
PF - Bosh
C - McRoberts

Bench - Napier, Granger, Anderson

If everyone is healthy, there is not a team in the East that we can't beat in a 7 game series. Add a solid 3 & D wing and we are fairly complete.

Who on the Cleveland Cavaliers is going to play defense other than LBJ? Irving and Love are quite possibly the two worst defenders at their position. Or is Blatt another D'Antoni? No need for D...no rings either.

lol Riley is not trading Cole, wont happen. Napier would have to be Chris Paul like before Riley goes thin at the only guard on our roster that can stay in front of quick guards.

We cant get killed by guards, bigs and the perimeter :noway:

Right now its just perimeter and bigs.

Cleveland is going to be a darn good team. What Cleveland fans don't understand, is that Love and Irving will sacrifice. Lebron is the alpha dog. They won't be posting stats like they did.

Look at Miami in 2011. IMO, Bosh is better than Love any day of the week. Look at what he became, and dealt with, over 4 years. He was dog **** to many.

Wade got injured (sounds similar to Kyrie right?) and didn't perform up to what he should have. Err, Lebron didn't in 2011, but Wade compensated in 2014. Regardless, Wade has forever and always will be better than Kyrie.

Miami needs to stop being bitches and perform up to their ability. If Wade can perform and Bosh goes back to being inside out, then Miami will be able to knock Cleveland off their paper throne.

Lebron, thanks for the titles, but you're the enemy now. **** you. We gonna beat that ass.

We have two perennial all stars returning and added two guys who can play at a star level in Deng and McBobs. We're going to be good this year. I see us grabbing the 3rd seed, barring injury.

Now, now.. lets not get too high on Josh McRoberts there. With that short contract Deng is gonna ball hard though.

Too soon on that Robin Williams joke, brother... ESPN can do unspeakable things to themselves. The media has a jolly good time trying to take the HEAT down a few pegs. Let them say whatever they like. We will do what we do... win.

Still don't get how Hornets are better than us... So many people have them above us, I guess I'm missing something

If Wade tears it up we are in the top 4

Deng can play at a star level and McBob is very good role player, but it all mostly depends on what Bosh and Wade bring.
