Are Miami Heat more beatable this year?

[insidehoops]

Maybe, maybe not. But skim-read this:

It mostly depends on the refs

[Budadiiii]

Considering how weak the East is, hell no.

They were more beatable in 2011/2012/2013 because of tougher competition.

But yes of course against the Thunder/Spurs they will be more beatable than in previous years.

OKC in 6. Spurs in 6. Heat aren't winning the title this year

With the Christmas MVP on their roster? Please. They're stronger than ever.

Thanks for the informative content, Jeff! Already read it twice and clicked on some ads that I was interested in and considered buying things! ISH is the best!

Forgot about that :cheers: Christmas MVP is nothing to shit about bro..

[JT123]

Yes. The supporting cast is washed up and Bosh has heavily declined. If Wade actually steps up in the earlier rounds this year the Heat have a shot, but if he plays like a role player as he did in the first 3 rounds last year Miami is toast. :(

[Rocketswin2013]

Yes.
I was a Heat hater 2011-2013(Finals).

This year is just, meh....... This is the weakest they've been and rightfully so, they have been pushing their bodie over it's limits. If they lose now, it would be way less of an exciting thing. If they would have lost last year with te 27 GWS and the 66 wins it would have been: :banana: :banana:

But now with guys on their last legs it's just, weaaak.

Xmas MVP>Regular Season MVP

They surely look very beatable this year. As a Heat fan I would consider them making the finals a great success. Just look at the other hungrier playoff teams right now, you can tell everybody is out for blood. Heat has no margin of error this year....they have to play at a much higher level because others are stepping it up...Having said this, I still hope they can pull it off but they need the help of basketball gods this year to even have a chance...

[red1]

Absolutely. No homecourt for the finals/ECF, both point guards struggling, bosh STILL playing out of position, battier and allen close to retirement/ no mike miller, dwade still a question mark. The only guarantee is lebron who looks to be primed for another big postseason.

No. I won't click on your shitty ****ing link on your shitty ****ing blog.

Aliens.

[All Net]

Very much so, role players are older and so is Wade. No Hca too could hurt.

Heat will turn it up a notch in the playoffs. They let Wade rest in the regular season, showing how much f**ks they give for the regular season. Who is there biggest rival?

[Meticode]

Jeff/Steve,

Why even post a link to this? Your article is copy/pasted from ESPN blog. I understand you link it in the blog, but why waste our time? At least write something original. Find other avenues to promote the website.

The Heat as a team aren't even in the top 10 for FTAs... Also "In all of NBA playoff history, not just the Finals, no team has ever attempted fewer free throws in a seven-game series than Miami

Exactly. It depends how much of an agenda the refs have against Miami. If they call the games fair, Miami wins the chip and OKC loses to Memphis.

[FLDFSU]

This and Lakers fans talking complaining about refs :roll:

It's hard to say because this whole time Miami could have been just cruising and will turn it up in the playoffs.
