No, we really don't. There are 30 teams in the NBA, and we're roughly in the middle of that pack. And that's with a "healthy" Wade. It just so happens that the bulk of the better teams are in the Western Conference.
That's the sad reality.
I agree. I thought we'd win 50 games, but that was being nice. We are a 40-45(if we get on a roll) team. Like most predicted. Our defense is not as good as it once was. Yeah yeah new guys, but we have yet to see any sort of flash of what could be a great defense. Holding bad teams to 40% shooting and under 100 points don't count.
The Warriors did what we would do to teams. If anything they played like us when we were at our peak, except with one player hitting 8 3's.
They went in a hole, sure, because they didn't give a **** and we were trying to give it our best shot, because one of the Best of the West came in. Well guess what? They came back, without even trying that hard while we went back to being average. THEN, they just went and made a HUGE run in the 4th, where they turned it up (sounds familiar?). Average teams allow that **** to happen and this isn't the first time (and yes we had Wade the last time this happened). This is what it feels like to be on the other side, a change from the last 4 years.
A lot of people are confident saying "we aint got no worries" but uh... this TEAM does not have the same swag or identity as years past. **** even Spo's teams before the Big 3 era had better defense than this man.
I just hope to be atleast 5 games above .500 by the all-star break.
And we have average players, besides Bosh and Wade. Deng is above average, Rio had his moments (and fun) but everyone else are role, bench players and we have a few that are starters, and would start on this team.
