This is what we call karma rearing its head.

They werent going to get 70+ wins anyways, but this is what happens when you attract bad things, bad things will happen.

I foresee a lot of injuries to this team.

Well, Wade is more vulnerable to injuries than a lot of players with his combination of age and accumulated knocks, so if he goes down during the regular season when Miller is out, they will really lack at SG. LeBron might have to play 48 minutes.

Miller is so injury prone.

let's guess at their injury situation.

Miller - 20 games
Bosh - 10 games
Wade - 5 games

Time to put a hold on the parade route?
I definitely felt like Miller was the first year Rondo to Miami's Big 3, a crucial piece for their championship aspirations. Without Miller, they look quite a bit more vulnerable in terms of depth.

I think Bosh may miss less than usual just because of his lower usage and because they have some big bodies to throw out there and bang around esp when they're blowing out teams, something that rarely happened in TO.
Miller - 15-20 games depending on severity
Bosh - 5-10 games
Wade - 5-10 games
Lebron - 2-3 games
Chalmers - 10 games
Big Z - 10 games
Haslem - 2-3 games

As for what will happen in the season:
James? - 5-10 games
Anthony - 15 games
Howard - 20 games

I have a feeling the 2011 Miami pick we got will end up having more value (cant say how much though) than what I initially expected.

Yep, without Mike Miller who will possibly help them at the offensive end?

lol...mmmm...that magloire fella was pretty good iirc :P
our pick might end up being 29th if we're lucky...I highly doubt anything before 27 is even thinkable (Lakers, Celtics, and maaaaaybe orl/okc outpace miami given injuries), because it'd take a near pefect storm for that to happen.

that brings up the question... what exactly did we get for bosh again?? Their first pick which will probably be 27-30 which is quite worthless. then there's the TPE, did that ever translate to anything?

Hate to ever be happy when/or actively hope for people getting hurt, but I have to admit, I'm definitely wishing injuries on the heat. Keep it coming karma!

Hope you don't actually believe in karma, wishing injuries on other people might be detrimental to your health.
