The Heat have zero chance at a title they way they are built.

[TheMan]

All the scoring by either Wade or LBJ in the 4th, that'll get you only so far and honestly, Indiana should've won today but regardless, the Heat as a team aren't very good, it's 3 very good players and a bunch of crap. LBJ, Wade and Bosh can only do so much, the scrubs gotta contribute with more than just hustle:facepalm Again, you can get away with that vs the Pacers of the world but not against Boston, OKC, Spurs etc...

Bookmarking this thread to show you guys I wasn't wrong when the Heat eventually lose.

You know they lost last year, right?

This isn't like...a revelation or something.

nonsense.
3 All-Stars in the prime.

Cant really do that when Lebron and Wade command the ball so much.. they dont play like a team.

If you were to put this team up against teams in international, real basketball, rules where shooting and playing team ball are the most important things they would get slaughtered.

[(e)]

They win because Lebron and Wade can live at the line. Plus those guys won't get in foul trouble. Tough to beat a team that can find a rhythm from the line

How many points did the scrubs score again?

[EnoughSaid]

That's why they were two wins away from it last year, right? :facepalm When Wade and LeBron get going and their intensity is there, this team is very hard to stop.

[StateOfMind12]

Heat are one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the league with Miller, Chalmers, and Battier in the 3 point line but it seemed like today was not their day. I think it just goes to show you how much better the Heat are than the Pacers which is why I said the Heat will win the series in 4-5. I would say today was probably the Pacers best chance but they blew it due to lack of offensive weapons.

The Indiana Pacers are like the Denver Nuggets on steroids.

[TheMan]

You know they lost last year, right?

This isn't like...a revelation or something.
I basically made this thread to remind the Heat bandwagon fans that it takes a TEAM to win it all, this 3 man team doesn't have a chance, against the Knicks or Philly or Indy they can get by, but not the elite teams.

[r15mohd]

1 of 8 teams left, up 1game in the series...I'd think they would have more than "zero chance" at bringing it home

[Nash]

I agree with this. They are extremely top heavy. But it is what it is, them being top heavy is their strength while other teams having better contributors are their strength.

2 wins, 1 win ,7 wins...it don't matter, they fell short and will do so again this year, book it. They aren't very good as a TEAM, it's 3 v 5 and as you get deeper in the playoffsm, you face better TEAMS. The Pacers are not an elite team, they are a very good well rounded team with no elite player and they can't close out games, they couldn't last year vs Chicago and they won't this year vs Miami. They'll battle you to 6 hard fought games but the Heat will prevail but they fall to a team that can close them out.

Sorry kid.

It took one of the most remarkable playoff runs in history to beat them. Dirk played out of his mind, every guy on the Mavericks roster lit it up, and LeBron played like absolute shit. Do you honestly believe that something like that would be possible again? No. The Heat can beat every team left in the Playoffs, and if Wade and LeBron consistently play at a high level like they did last year in the Playoffs, I see them winning it all.

[catquickspider]

Did you forget the refs are on their side? :biggums:

They have the best chance at winning. Now it is just a matter of Lebron pussying out or not in the big game.

[outbreak]

I don't think their bench and role players are that back tbh, more of an issue that they don't get a chance to get involved in the game because of the coaching style of letting wade and lebron do anything they want on offence.

But that's not my point, the Heat can't win 3 v 5 forever (well, if the refs keep helping them the way they have, they just might pull it off).

Point Guard - chalmers will be exposed by a good point guard
Center - Always been there
Coaching -- Spoelstra has not seemed anything special to me.

[RoseCity07]

As much as I want Miami to win I gotta admit there are a lot of things that give me doubts. Wade just doesn't take over like he used to if Lebron is not playing well. The Heat bench is really not that good. Hell, Joel Anthony and Chalmers really aren't that good. The Heat need a better rebounding center. If they could get a guy like Gortat and a slightly better point guard I'd think that would make a huge difference.

This current team is really not that good without Lebron.

[G-train]

avi bet

You are already wrong. They at least a 50% chance at the title. Not 0%.

[04mzwach]

Yeah, the refs tend to give the Heat too much credit. I saw a 5 and 4 point swing just off of the 2nd half when I couldnt pay full attention. James also got God type of calls at times.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

They're top heavy, but that's what the playoffs are all about. The Lakers had a shitty bench, but won it in 09 and 10. In playoffs, the rotation goes from a 10 to a 7. They're reaching the Finals even without Bosh.

[Alamo]

They won't win the championship this year.

Seriously. Indiana are scared as hell. Collison is scared to shoot a 3 with LeBron in his face. Granger is scared. George is a choker.

[inclinerator]

if they nearly won last year why not this year? of course they arent a great constructed team, but they can win it all

[westsideozzie]

I agree with the OP 100 PERCENT. This Heat team is not better than last years. Against a team like the Spurs who have an inside presence and a wave of shooters and defenders, they are going to get killed.

Shane Battier is a 6"8 Mike Bibby. He's worthless.
Chalmers is a PG that can't finish and penetrate.
You think Anthony and Haslem can play with Tim Duncan?
That being said. I don't see them even getting pass Boston this year..
It's one great player in Lebron, a diminishing All Star in Wade, and a underutilized giant small forward playing the four. They got no shot against any team that will be left in the final four.

[Lebron23]

The op is a ph@ggot. Miami will beat Boston in 5.

[chips93]

the thunder have no low post scorer, are mediocre defensively, and have issues in crunch time

the clippers have two guys who can score

the spurs have nobody who can get his own shot whenever he wants

the celtics are straight awful offensively, as are the sixers

the lakers have nobody who can consistently get to the rim

the pacers have no go-to scorer

every team has a flaw, but somebody has to win

The Spurs lead the league in scoring because they play team basketball and lead the league in "great shots" Take that one on one crap and leave it on the playground. Ball movement and stars at every level.. Give the Spurs their due.. Heat are a flawed team that won't get past even Boston.

they killed boston last year. their style hasn't changed at all since

[TrueRob]

In my opinion, this is the first time that a LeBron led team is the best team in the league.

2009 - Magic, Lakers, Celtics > LeBron's Cavs
2010 - Lakers, Celtics > LeBron's Cavs
2011 - Mavs > LeBron's Heat
2012 - No one. Heat > all.

The only thing that can stop them is injuries.

[Kurosawa0]

They're very suspect inside. Everyone likes to hammer Miami for the Wade/LeBron angle, but the true weakness for the team is that they don't have a paint protector and rebounder.

It's a quintessential part of any winning team. Even the Bulls of the 90's had Cartwright and Longely. Neither were great, but Miami would kill to have a player like either of them.

[gilalizard]

They're super-stacked, have decent roleplayers and get tons of favoritism from the refs.

Anybody playing against them is playing uphill. It will take a team getting hot along with the mental collapse of the Heat (as happened last year) to beat them. As we saw with the Knicks, even a team that is very unlikely to beat the Heat is going to get kneecapped by the refs early on, to put them on notice how difficult it will be made on them if they keep it competitive.

They are, and will be for the foreseeable future, the favorites to win it all easily.

Heat can't beat the Spurs 4 times. Book it.. They are a donut team..

[Kingwillball]

Heat can BEAT ANYBODY (as Long as Bosh Returns) if Lebron plays Like he has/is Capable of the Rest of the Playoffs..There Defense at Times can Absolutely Lock teams Down in Stretches and Wade and Especially Lebron can Just take over a Game in stretches on both ends of the floor that make up for any Deficiency the team may have. If Miller, Battier, Chalmers and Haslem make shots this team will win it all. The Spurs for example wont beat the Heat in a series in fact I look at it as the Cavs vs Spurs years ago when Duncan was in his Prime and Lebron was still a pup and Spurs were Too much for Cavs.. Now roles are Reversed as Lebron and Company are in there primes and the OLDER Spurs dont have the Young Legs and athletic ability to Deal with the Heat over course of a series.

[Blue&Orange]

Heat will struggle to beat the Celtics and will fall to anything coming from the west, unless somehow it's the clippers.

[KDTrey5]

:lol :lol :lol If you think the Mavs were better than the Heat you must be delusional:facepalm The only reason they won was by the pure will to win, something Lebron lacked last year.

:lol :lol :lol If you think the Mavs were better than the Heat you must be delusional:facepalm The only reason they won was by the pure will to win, something Lebron lacked last year.


I disagree wholeheartedly. Mavs were bigger, had more shooters and penetrators and a deeper bench. Shawn Marion was a good defender who could control Lebron, and guys like Stevenson were great bench players. The Mavs were pretty complete last year.

[Bandito]

Dude nobody and I said nobody had the Mavs beating the heat last year. Heck they were two more wins of beating the Mavs if not for them going into overdrive and Lebron (not the Heat but Lebron and he only) bending over and chucking like a pornstar.

[TrueRob]

Dude nobody and I said nobody had the Mavs beating the heat last year.

I picked Dallas to win the Finals last year. I remember other posters picking Dallas as well. Maybe not the majority, but quite a few thought Dallas would take it.

Hilarious how Everyone's fans have all this Bravado for Different teams Left in the Playoffs against HEat Until they played them than they will complain when they start losing like every other fan base does something like the HEat get all the Calls, they Heat are Cheap Joining Forces so they SHOULD win, The Refs are Paid off, Stern wants Lebron to get a Title ect..

I'll admit I was wrong, I didn't say LBJ wouldn't play great, I thought the role players were not good enough.

LBJ is the reason they won but Chalmers, Battier, Cole and Miller had huge moments this series.

Congrats Heat...I'll have another serving of crow...

BTW, who would've predicted the Heat would struggle a lot more against Boston than OKC, go figure.

[Inactive]

BTW, who would've predicted the Heat would struggle a lot more against Boston than OKC, go figure.I think it was mostly due to Bosh's injury. Miami didn't have anyone who could guard KG 1 on 1, so they fronted him constantly, and Rondo just lobbed it to him, leading to several easy baskets per game. Bosh can't guard KG strait up, but he has the length to deflect lobs, and make it more difficult for KG to get easy baskets. Their lack of size on the interior also made it easy for Rondo to score off penetration. Once Bosh came back, he altered a lot of those layups.

OKC is a jump shooting team and the Heat have the best perimeter defense. Actually a lot of posters were saying that OKC could not match up well with Miami. Idiots did not listen of course.

At least he came in here and accepted he was wrong.

Anyways, lets be honest here. Before that game 6 in Boston, I thought OKC had the best chance. But after that performance by James, you could just tell he finally got fed up with choking and no one was taking that championship from Miami.
