Pure, unadulterated hate and bitterness. That's all I can think of.

Any team and their fanbase would want to pull off something Miami's front office did. Micky, Pat, Zo, Andy, Nick, and Flash pulled off an unthinkable in a lot of people's eyes.

They got three all stars on the same roster, three consecutive finals appearances, back to back titles. I'd say the Heat ownership is doing terrible. Good idea for a poll though

Agreed, stupid poll.

If anything, this poll just shows what % of NBA fans despise the Heat.

Obviously they are doing a great job, but I took the poll as "do I approve of the job they have done since last year", as in, from where they were last year, have they continued to rise to higher excellence....

I say NO. If Heat wanted to Threepeat, they needed more on that roster. Yeah what they got is good enough to win a Championship, but I feel that team hit its peak last year, and since then they haven't done any major upgrade outside Oden. I mean this is not same Heat team who won 20+ in a row. Wade is getting old, and James has now seen what mortality looks like, because he forgot that he can bleed. I expect much more blood shed on Heat's t eam by the end of the regular season and especially by end of playoffs, because West and HIbbert are bigger and badder than Ibaka and Perkins, and Bosh + Oden ain't going to help.


Every team in the league got stronger and better. Assuming Heat make it to Eastern Conference Finals, Pacers are going to hit them like a ton of bricks, especially if they got top seed and home court. Even if Heat make it to Finals, which I doubt, whatever Western team that makes it is going to be one of the toughest group of players this game has seen in awhile. All of them, Clippers, Spurs, Thunder and Rockets, have all stepped up their game as individuals, and as a team.

Rockets and Mavs are the two teams who I think could beat Heat. Clippers are my favorite, and if not, I just hope Thunder or Spurs can do it.

Dallas is a first round exit. The Rockets and Clippers will be lucky to make it to the conference finals. The Pacers have a much better chance at beating the Heat then any of those three teams.

Pacers are my #1 pick to win. If I was a betting man I would take them.

Heat barely won them in 7, and with all the great things happening for Pacers, I doubt Heat can beat them. Heat will need stay 100% healthy to compete, which I doubt for Wade. If he can stay up and ready then maybe.

I mean Wade has been playing lightly all season and has missed quite a few games. In the playoffs, it is do or die. You can't take a game off. Not only do they got to survive round 1 and semi's, but then they have to face the Pacers in the Conference finals, with another 4-7 games after that.

I see a heartbreak finish for Heat, like Wade going down or a big upset in round 2.

I mean Wade has been playing gingerly, and barely goes 1 week without missing 1 game. Well in playoffs, missing 1 game could mean a loss, or more wear and tear on others. I see a heartbreak finish for Heat, like Wade going down or a big upset in round 2, or at least in Conference finals.

Wade will be fine, These injuries he's had wouldn't have kept him out in the playoffs. It sounds like you think the Heat would be the underdogs, and that's crazy.

they added Oden and Beasley and kept a championship team intact. What more do you want?

To be fair, the question could be taken multiple ways. Clearly, the Heat organization has done a great job... For Heat fans. In my mind, they've made it more difficult for my team.. so I disapprove.

I would love for Artest to go back to Indiana or to the Heat.
