Miami Heat - Overrated Pretenders?

[The Nets]

Rebounding is their big problem, but other than that this team plays with absolutely no energy/passion. For a team with their star players in prime, this is incomprehensible.
:sleeping

[Al Thornton]

are you autistic or lebron23?

[TylerOO]

They will play with passion come the playoffs. Yep, the defending champs and current 1 seed in the east are pretenders.:rolleyes:

Its not like you can gain passion and defense miraculously in playoffs series. If so, the Spurs would've lost 1-4 to Lakers in 08, and the Lakers would not have been swept in 11.

Your an idiot. The Heat give zero ****s right now. They are in cruise control.

The Lakers thought they had cruise control too in 11, but then the Mavs showed how they were way too overconfident.

Oh really? The road games against Utah, Golden State and Indiana are sure losses, the other four are also clearly in favor of the opposing team.
:rolleyes:

[KG215]

It's the regular season. They're 5-5 in their last 10 and still in first place in the East. They'll get it together after the All-Star break, finish first in the East, and make the Finals. The other East team that got off to a hot start is struggling right now, too, going 4-6 in their last 10.

It's definitely far from panic time. It won't be panic time for the Heat until they're down 3-0 in a playoff series. They're that dangerous.

The win against OKC was the last time Miami beat a team with above 0.500 record(a big win though, the Thunder is a top contender). Since then they were 0-4 against playoffs teams, and these aint even title contenders. They can only bully lottery teams nowadays, the likes of Bobcats, Magic and Wizards if you ask me.

[longtime lurker]

Wait so the reigning champs are considred pretenders to you? ISH is fing amazing. It truly is...

[JBrizzy]

How can you call them pretenders when they made it to the finals two years in a row and are the current champions??

I'm a patient man so this suits me fine.

[Whoah10115]

They're obviously not pretenders.


I don't understand why people are so scared of them. Last year was the year to be scared and everyone was talking about how OKC would slap them around if they met in the Finals...and I said that if that was the Finals (I didn't think OKC would make it but props to them) the simple fact that Miami were much better would take out OKC. But Miami has had their year and they're not going to turn it on like that.


Dwyane Wade cannot turn into a sidekick for an entire year and then suddenly D-Wade his way back into elite status. Even if he turns it on after the all-star break, he will not reach those levels this year. Bosh is going to play well but he's straight up a sidekick and not currently capable of being what he was in Toronto. And he's going to be overmatched at center. Lopez will outplay him, Noah will outplay him, Chandler will outplay him. If Bynum is healthy, he's gonna kill him...even if Bosh, individually, plays better. The Celtics, with an actual center (which I imagine they'll get) will kill him inside. Whether Varejao or Gortat. Even Horford could outdo him. People don't realize that the East has plenty of guys who can legitimately play the center position and that very dynamic will outdo him.


Which of these teams will actually beat Miami? I'm not sure that the Knicks would beat the Heat, but I wouldn't be surprised and I believe they'll be in the Finals before Miami. Miami is just not that impressive.

[Mr. Incredible]

Overrated, as of right now. Come playoff time, the best in the world.

[The Nets]

How about if Miami win any of those three games you stop posting here? Fair? Since they are sure losses and all.

Dont panic already dude, its not even over yet. Lettuce look at their schedule up to March 4th:

continued from the Toronto Loss(26-18 record):
Cha W(27-18)
Hou L(27-19)
LAC L(27-20)
LAL L(27-21)

CLE W(30-24)
SAC W(31-24)
MEM L(31-25)
@ NY L(31-26)
@ MIN L(31-27)

So yeah, 31-27 at the beginning of March, where will they be ranked at Eastern Conference standing by then? Fortunately for them, their schedule after that Minny road game looks easy, so perhaps they will go on a short 4-5 games winning streak then?
:lol

You have them being 4 games above .500, 58 games into the season? That's taking it too far...also, I don't get what you're laughing about.

[EnoughSaid]

Bookmarked so I can come back and laugh at your ass 58 games into this season.

[The Nets]

You have them being 4 games above .500, 58 games into the season? That's taking it too far...also, I don't get what you're laughing about.

Yeah, if you asked me the question yesterday Id think its almost impossible. But after looking at their brutal schedule for the next 25 games, I realize its actually more likely to happen than otherwise. I wonder if 31-27 is a 5th, 6th or 7th seed in Eastern Conference?

On an interesting note, the heat were 30-9 in their first season after bringing in Big three.
:sleeping

[Magic bird]

A couple of games lost, does not make previous NBA champions "Overrated Pretenders" It does however mean they're not playing up to par.

[TMT]

Yea cause that's the same thing. Ill bet whatever the Heat are in Finals

Oh shit!

Well if the Thunder meets Heat in NBA finals this year, Id say the Thunder will sweep the series. It wont happen though since Miami is at most a 2nd round team and they aint winning 50+ regular season games.

Yea, I'm willing to bet your life on them not going 8-26 over any stretch.


8...and 26...yea, no.

[The Nets]

Yea, I'm willing to bet your life on them not going 8-26 the rest of the season.


8...and 26...yea, no.

Well its 8-16, not 8-26. Also its not the rest of the season, just the 58 games into the season. Anyway the Heat has somewhat of an easy schedule in March so they should still finish at around 45-49 wins.

Nah even I won't believe that would happen. We aren't beating Miami with Perkins as our starting Center. Make fun of the confidence (or lack thereof) that I have for OKC, but its simply true.

Yea, I don't know how I did that. But there's no way they don't win 50 games.


45 is ridiculous. They're not going to the Finals, but you're taking it way too far.

[The Nets]

Yea, I don't know how I did that. But there's no way they don't win 50 games.


45 is ridiculous. They're not going to the Finals, but you're taking it way too far.

Lets see... At 31-27, they need to go 19-5 for the rest of the season to win 50 games. Even though their schedule in March is easy, it seems highly unlikely to me they can win 80% of their games from March 4th to the end of regular season. Even the Clippers and Thunder cannot guarantee such a high winning percentage.

Op is definitely a homosexual. Not that there is anything wrong with that..

I know, I fixed my math issue.


The problem with your calculations is that they're never going to be 31-27.


I'm pretty sure they can go 27-21 the rest of the season.

None of us would have predicted the Heat to go 3-5 for the last 8 games, it happened anyway. Be hold, 31-27 is barely a playoffs team in Western Conference.

I really see no reason to be shocked over 3-5. 8 games is a lot smaller sample size than 24 games, than 48 games.

[ErhnamDjinn]

rofl lmao only on ish can you go to the finals twice and currently #1 in the east with your core pretty intact and be called pretenders hahahaha

[I<3NBA]

they are currently top of the east. sure, they're pretenders.

[The Nets]

Yeah they are atop of Eastern Conference due to their remarkably easy schedule. The next 24 games will be brutal for them, they will go 8-16 and end up with 31-27. At that point they need to finish 19-5 to reach 50 wins, which is almost impossible.

[senelcoolidge]

Yeah, they will just turn it on. They have no competition in the East. The East is terrible. They can afford to lose games and be fine. Try to do that in the West. The heat will probably not repeat unless whoever comes out of the West is not full strength or something like that. There is still plenty of season. But the heat are small and their defense is slack this season.

Ah you are way too optimistic, NBA finals? The team looks like 2nd round exit at best to me.

[Nash]

Who cares? Last 2 years they've been playing shit in regular season yet they shift it a few levels when playoffs come around. They've never even been close to #1 seed in the East before yet they got to the finals twice.

[noob cake]

Miami Heat doesn't even to play half their games. Eastern conference is so bad that they can sneak in with a losing record as a 8th seed.

LeBron will turn into a God, ehh not like 26/8/7 is not God mode already. Wade will try again. Anything Bosh brings will just be a bonus.

[ShaqAttack3234]

There have been countless championship teams and established contenders who coast during a good chunk of the regular season. We've seen it with both the early 2000s Lakers, some of the recent Laker teams, the recent Celtic teams, some of those Piston teams and even the Spurs who have limited their starters minutes and give them some games off in recent years.

[Blue&Orange]

Off course they are at cruise control and they don't care about regular season, that's why Lebron went practice after they lost to the Knicks and made sure everyone knew about it.

[tazb]

The real overrated pretenders are Nets, Knicks, and Pacers.

This. As has been proven in both conferences the last two years, having the #1 seed means very little considering neither of those teams made it to the Finals.

[LikeABosh]

Defending champs and they are coasting and still #1 seed. :sleeping They'll wake up come playoff time

[TMT]

they are currently top of the east. sure, they're pretenders.

Isn't saying much, tbh. They got it pretty nice.

In the West they would be the 5th seed right now (in between GS and MEM) or worse because they would have been facing tougher opponents all season.

[ihoopallday]

But how exactly do you know that? I see these hypotheticals all the time. It's getting old. We'll never know how Miami would fair in the western conference, so just get over it.

[TMT]

But how exactly do you know that? I see these hypotheticals all the time. It's getting old. We'll never know how Miami would fair in the western conference, so just get over it.

Because that's what their record indicates, and they have played predominantly more games against the EC. While the Clips, Spurs and Thunder all have a handful of more wins playing against tougher competition.

You think a jump to the West would up their win total? You think cutting their games against the weak East in half, and doubling the WC opponents on their schedule would work in their favor?

It just shows how easy they have it compared to all the other great teams in this league. Not only do they have the heaviest super team in the league, but they play in a conference where they can essentially lose all the games they want and it will hardly scratch their playoff positioning. It's pretty obvious that being in the West would change everything for them. You disagreeing shows me your just another sad Heat/Lebron homer who will disregard anything currently going on with the team and just say "WE DA BESS".

There is no way this is gonna happen, I give the Bobcats a shot to make the playoffs before considering the Heat going 3-7 a possibility. This looks like pure trolling.

I'm pretty sure the Heat won't even go lower than seed No2 all season long. They are obviously coasting at the moment and they haven't gone on a hot streak, which they're due for. Assuming the only games they're gonna win will be against scrub teams is just ridiculous.:facepalm

Miami Heat:
@Sacramento - W

Memphis - L

@Minnesota - W

I feel like they'll go 16-8 from today to March 4th. A few games could go either way like OKC & Boston for obvious reason. Also, Chicago should have Rose back by this time I believe so that game could be a toss up. New York has been spanking Miami this season, Memphis has the size that I don't think Miami can overcome, same goes for Indiana, plus the athleticism. Gave Atlanta the W because I don't think they'll be swept by Miami, but that could become a win for Miami because they have had Atlanta's number this season. Clippers are just too athletic, physical, well rounded and big for Miami, Philly could beat Miami due to being home and their athleticism. Golden State wins due to size and quickness.

I feel like this is much more accurate than that bullshit posted earlier.

They just went 3-5, I wouldnt say 3-7 in another stretch is impossible at all. In fact, it looks reasonable to me. A quick note, the Heat were 0-4 against teams above 0.500 in their last four games.

Oh yeah, coasting. Remember the first time Heat lost by 20 against the Knicks, people said the Heat were coasting. It was not until they lost by 20 again at home with Melo-less Knicks that people finally began to realize that the Heat were actually just not good enough. They will be 31-27 after the next 24 games play out, so 8-16 down this stretch. Interestingly, the Boston Celtics is likely to have a better record than 31-27 then.
:lol

[ShaqAttack3234]

Yeah, but there also have been teams like 02-03 Lakers, 06-07 Heat, 07-08 Spurs and 10-11 Lakers who just aint competitive any longer and people kept overrating them 'cause they were defending champs.

'02-'03 Lakers ended up probably that one Horry 3 that rimmed out away from another title. In fact, in the end, that was probably the difference between their '02 and '03 seasons. Horry's 3 went in vs Sacramento and it rimmed out vs the Spurs. And that was with Horry going 0/18 on 3s vs the Spurs, Rick Fox got injured leaving Devean George as their starting small forward and even he eventually got injured. Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong did short of Shaq or Kobe going down. And even Kobe wasn't able to play up to his regular season standard due to a shoulder injury. The Heat didn't start out 11-19 either.

The '06-'07 Heat were so much older and looked much worse than this Heat team. Shaq missed half the season and was 35, Wade injured his shoulder, missed 30 games and shouldn't have even been playing vs Chicago, Eddie Jones was 35, Zo was 37, Payton was 38 and Antoine Walker was in terrible shape.

How were the '08 Spurs not competitive? They got to the WCF and Manu was nowhere near 100% by that point.

As far as the '11 Lakers, Kobe didn't look near 100% all season, Gasol played worse than anyone could have imagined in the playoffs and really nobody played like they were supposed to in the playoffs except Bynum.

I don't see how any of these really apply to Miami. And at least 2 of the teams you mentioned still contended. Miami has seemed to coast to the best record in the East and a 23-11 record. They're not old either. They have a 28 year old best player and 2 other stars who are 28 and 31, respectively.

[Blue&Orange]

This. As has been proven in both conferences the last two years, having the #1 seed means very little considering neither of those teams made it to the Finals.
Considering it might mean facing the bulls with rose in the second round, it means even less this year.

[Lebron23]

Terrible, Terrible Thread. Miami will start another winning streak after they beat Sacramento.

I'm not really disagreeing with what you're saying. All I'm trying to say is this is a pointless argument. Yes, the East is easier for Miami. They have more room for mistakes. The west is where 1 loss could be the difference between a playoff seed or an early off season. But that isn't Miami's fault. Should they ask Stern to switch confrences. Btw, I'm not a homer. But I guess you concluded that yourself. I've actually repped you before because I think you're a non biased poster. Don't let all these other stans make you think every Heat fan is like them.

He isn't unbiased. The guy hates LeBron so bad its not even funny.

Spo needs to rest lebron a game or two and just let bosh and wade handle it. This upcoming stretch is the perfect time.

I second this, actually he should rest Lebron for the next 10 games since they can only hope to win about 3-4 of them with or without Lebron anyway.

[blood yes]

Rebounding is their big problem, but other than that this team plays with absolutely no energy/passion. For a team with their star players in prime, this is incomprehensible.

Yeah, especially the year when ya'll kicked their asses in the regular season only for them to send you guys out of the playoffs, twice.

[red1]

I second this, actually he should rest Lebron for the next 10 games since they can only hope to win about 3-4 of them with or without Lebron anyway.
says the f*gg*t who is the same dumbass who made this thread

[The Nets]

The prediction is so far so good.

[mrpibb]

As a Jazz fan, this is a stupid thread. Nets fan, go home. You're drunk.

Miami Heat's next ten games:

@ SAC W(24-11)
@ UTA L(24-12)
@ GS L(24-13)
@ LAL L(24-14)
TOR W(25-14)
DET W(26-14)
@ BOS L(26-15)
@ BKN L(26-16)
@ IND L(26-17)
@ TOR L(26-18)

They will go 3-7 and drop out of top 3 seeds in Eastern Conference.
:facepalm

Bump.

[The Nets]

Bump.

Oh yeah, just one lucky win 'cause Golden State was without Stephen Curry, otherwise it wont even be a close game for Miami. How am I supposed to have predicted injuries? But anyway, the heat will win around 44-48 games, not a 50 wins team if you ask me. Still 2nd round exit at best.

[greymatter]

Your an idiot. The Heat give zero ****s right now. They are in cruise control.

The irony of this post seems lost on most people.

Says a ****ing Nets fan whose already 0-2 vs Miami this year. :roll: :roll: :roll:

[DaSeba5]

Is the OP aware Miami is 2-0 against the Nets?

[Hank]

The real overrated pretenders are Nets, Knicks, and Pacers.

QFT

[Hank]

You will see what I mean when the Heat is at 26-18 after the next 10 games play out.
:D

So since the Heat are currently 26-12... you're placing your money on Miami losing 6 in a row starting with the Raptors next week at home.

Is that right ?

[tazb]

OP lost...Miami is back to playing championship defense.

[Hank]

You will see what I mean when the Heat is at 26-18 after the next 10 games play out.

27-12 now


You were saying ?

28-12


Where you at ?

[PJR]

OP is a raging homosexual.

[SpecialQue]

OP's thread does not make any sense.

He's also fat.

[jrong]

Too early to tell. But, there's only one team out west that could beat them in a Finals. Not the Thunder. Not the Lakers (lol). Well, maybe the Spurs could get them too. But, the Clippers are the team the Heat do not want to face. The Clips have the composition to beat them-- run them off the floor, actually, in 6, maybe even 5 games.

But, can LAC make it out of their conference?

[Linspired]

they are underrated contenders.

[TylerOO]

OP is fat.

[red1]

stop making threads fcuking fatass

Op is a nets fan right? OP, you understand that LeBron went to your building and walked around the Nets locker room yelling "the king is here" before the game and then proceeding to embarrass your team on the court, right?

:D

53-14, with a league best .791 record..


They may not lose 18 games ALL SEASON, never mind for the first half of the season as you thought.



Where ya been bucko ?

[The Choken One]

Pretenders.

[tazb]

OP lost big time.

[BrickingStar]

They're obviously not pretenders.


I don't understand why people are so scared of them. Last year was the year to be scared and everyone was talking about how OKC would slap them around if they met in the Finals...and I said that if that was the Finals (I didn't think OKC would make it but props to them) the simple fact that Miami were much better would take out OKC. But Miami has had their year and they're not going to turn it on like that.


Dwyane Wade cannot turn into a sidekick for an entire year and then suddenly D-Wade his way back into elite status. Even if he turns it on after the all-star break, he will not reach those levels this year. Bosh is going to play well but he's straight up a sidekick and not currently capable of being what he was in Toronto. And he's going to be overmatched at center. Lopez will outplay him, Noah will outplay him, Chandler will outplay him. If Bynum is healthy, he's gonna kill him...even if Bosh, individually, plays better. The Celtics, with an actual center (which I imagine they'll get) will kill him inside. Whether Varejao or Gortat. Even Horford could outdo him. People don't realize that the East has plenty of guys who can legitimately play the center position and that very dynamic will outdo him.


Which of these teams will actually beat Miami? I'm not sure that the Knicks would beat the Heat, but I wouldn't be surprised and I believe they'll be in the Finals before Miami. Miami is just not that impressive.
OP and this guy should never post again

Nobody is a pretender with Lebron James on their team
