Some Love From ESPN?
Anyone watch 1st and 10? They asked what team out of us, MIA, NYK, and CHI is in the worst shape. Greg Anthony said NYK, Skip said MIA (With CHI in 2nd)
Whats going on? What happened to the Wolf-bashers?

Wade is better than anyone we have on our roster, and Haslem is decent, but beyond that Miami is in the hurt bag...they've got some serious stuff to figure out with that team. At least MOST of our big contracts expire this year or next. Knicks have been an absolute wreck for a while now, so that's no surprise...their youth isn't all that inspiring and their vets are...well...obviously better on the court than ours, but those contracts and holes in their game to go along with the insane chemistry...painful.
Thriving on mediocrity since '89.

They have issues, namely their lack of post scoring and their massive drop off from last year, sure, but unlike the others their problems seem minor. At least they have young talent that has proven it can work together.
New York is just a bad team. Getting their talent to work together is like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle when you have pieces from 3 different sets. It's no wonder they're bad, 2 or 3 of their best players are bench guys and they start two ridiculously redundant big men.
Miami's in a world of hurt. I feel bad for that team and its fans. While they have talent, most if it is aging fast or hurt, so no surprise that they're playing absolutely terrible ball. Given Shaq's age and their history of injuries things could be looking grim very soon. I wonder how long before they sit Wade for the season and pull a Spurs-esque tankjob.. Imagine a lineup of Chris Quinn/Daequan Cook/Ricky D/Joel Anthony/Mark Blount with Earl Barron, Alexander Johnson and Luke Jackson off the bench. Yikes!

The Bulls may be in better shape than we are, but they have problems. Ben Wallace costs a fortune and has looked asleep when I've watched them, Hinrich has regressed, Gordon can't guard anyone, Tyrus Thomas looks lost, and Deng is said to have been the ringleader in getting rid of Skiles. If this is true, they will have that much more difficult a time signing him to an extension for the kind of money he's expecting.
