Probably others you could put ahead of him as well. Dude has ONE All-NBA selection in 11 seasons

[SouBeachTalents]

And while it's appropriate to make a thread like this after two games, we'll see if the Heat even make the ECF this season

[n00bie]

I'm actually rooting for the heat this year. Nothing will give me more pleasure than the heat having a better record than the cavs this yr. :oldlol:

[SpecialQue]

Difference between this season's Heat and Cavs teams:

Heat are angry and out to prove they're still a great team even after retards are calling them a lottery team.

Cavs are feeling entitled due to their roster and lost a REALLY dumb game a few days ago during Lebron's fvcking HOMECOMING event game.

i said arguably but LOL @ Pau and CWebb so high. Bosh was better than both for sure. Pau has won 0 playoff games without Kobe, and CWebb was a sht defender and statpadder

I agree, its quite refreshing to see Miami have a REAL team back :applause:

How did having Lebron make them any less of a "real" team?

[Mr. Jabbar]

miami just found their missing piece, or should i say extra piece :applause:

[Lebronxrings]

no excuses

[Real14]

Think about it man.

[mehyaM24]

i would hold off until the playoffs before making a statement like that.

bosh and wade both look great in this early season. whether they can sustain their level of play come the postseason is another thing entirely - of course, if im a heat fan, on a team without the league's best player, i would certainly not be making guarantees.

Lebron's impact is so powerful he can turn Kobe stans into Wade fans just by leaving a team :oldlol:

So if they have no excuse this year what was Lebron's excuse last year? :oldlol: :oldlol:

Embarrassment? We made 4 finals in 4 years.

At the end of the day, it's basketball, you can't take it too seriously. Otherwise Laker fans wouldn't be talking shit with how they're going. Or maybe it is because it's taken too seriously... I'm not sure.

[dannysc305]

Veteran All-Stars: Wade, Deng, Bosh
High potential rookies: Ennis, Napier, Hamilton
Veteran role players: Williams, McRoberts, Anderson, Cole, Chalmers, Granger.

We're still.... STACKED

Everyone gets the ball no longer a one man show

Spurs of the east

God I love my team

fixed

[Y2Gezee]

I knew they'd be great this year, but with a disclaimer, when healthy.

People know how good Bosh can be, and there is plenty of talent on this team. Wade and Bosh alone, would've been the best team in the East the past few years, but will Wade stay healthy? Hopefully.

[305Baller]

http://www.sikids.com/sites/default/files/multimedia/photo_gallery/1007/dwyane.wade.rare.photos/images/heat-2003.jpg

I think this years team might be similar but better.

[funnystuff]

Won't make it past the first round tho

[dubeta]

When you consider the Heat added 2 all stars to their team and a big man, along with Napier this start of theirs is anything but impressive


2 superstars (Bosh, Wade)

2 additional all stars (Deng, Granger)

Birdman, Napier, Chalmers, Cole, McRoberts, solid role players



Anything less than 55 wins would be a failure

[Crose]

it is a testament to how lebron makes his teammates worse that bosh and wade look better than they have in years as soon as lebron leaves

suddenly bosh is in the mvp conversation and wade looks like a top flight sg

but before the return to cleveland, they were washed up. wade was done, bosh was just a soft shooter who couldn't do anything

and then "snap" now they are stars again 3-0 :lol

Are you really calling Danny Granger an All Star with a straight face? This is 2014, not 2008.

when u put it that way, Bran's 2/4 performance with the heat is even less impressive :confusedshrug:

They never stopped being stars. You just don't know basketball enough to look past the numbers.

If the cavs lost to the heat in the playoffs would it be worse than 2011?

[CelticBaller]

If the cavs lost to the heat in the playoffs would it be worse than 2011?
Way worse

[christian1923]

Way worse
I'm getting a hard on just thinking about it. The Lebron bashing that summer that occurred that summer made ISH amazing

[PJR]

If it's March, and Wade still holding up good, I will say that the 2015 Heat can most certainly win 54 games.

[GrapeApe]

http://www.sikids.com/sites/default/files/multimedia/photo_gallery/1007/dwyane.wade.rare.photos/images/heat-2003.jpg

Man, I loved that team. Wade was a PG then which he essentially is this year too. After getting off to a horrendous start they were one of the best teams in the league after the allstar break and damn near made the ECF. They were a scrappy group of versatile players and a lot of fun to watch.

[PJR]

I would've done the Shaq trade over and over given the known result(plus being able to dump Brian Grant's contract), but I truly believe that team could've done damage in the East in 2005 and 2006 as well.

[Real14]

Oh hell yes.:oldlol:

No doubt, I agree on both points. The probably don't win a title without Shaq, but that group with an emerging Wade would have been a force in the east.

These dudes are playing like its the playoffs right now, trying to prove that they weren't good just because of Lebron.

Give it a few months...they'll be worn out and will start losing. And Wade will probably get injured again as usual.

Probably, but when they try they are winning so. Just rest and win in the playoffs.

This is a new team running a new system, and it's shown in some sloppy play. They are going to get better as the season goes on. At the moment they're showing potential to be a fantastic passing team.

edit: and Miami are hardly 'playing like its the playoffs': they have played two low pick rookies important 4th quarter minutes, are utilising a 10-deep rotation, and oh, Wade & Deng are playing less than 32mpg and Bosh 36.7.
