Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
good question... they looked really bad in the back to back games and they lost twice in OT. Wade has either been hurt or playing bad so far. But besides that they played some really good games. They actually look better to me than last year, since their roster is much deeper this year. I think in the end they will be a slightly better version of last season's team with the same problems

Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
it's the Wade/Lebron dilemma. The Heat lost 3 straight when Wade came back prematurely.. then he came out and they went on a winning streak before losing to the Bucks.
I don't think Wade being healthy mattered that much because the way the Heat handle pressure is still very suspect.. which is how the first 2 losses on that road trip happened.
Guess we'll see what happens when the playoffs come around again.

Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
Who cares? They'll get it together before the playoffs, and this is coming from a Bulls fan.
-
Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
They have been resting their players and still have a damn good record.
SMH at the OP.
-
Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
You are comparing regular season record at this time of the year. Another winning streaks, and the Heat are back at the top 2 spot. Please compare their record at 3/4 of the season.
They already defeated the Hawks, Sixers, and Pacers this year. Even if the playoffs starts tomorrow. I don't think any of those teams are capable of beating the Heat in a best of 7 series.
-
Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
Jeez man some of you need to take the chill pill. Fellow Bulls fans, it's still quite early in the season, and as we've seen last season, the playoffs is a different kind of beast.
good thing D Rose seems to be coasting. I would think the heat are doing that as well. I believe being fresh in the playoffs with this condensed season will be needed.

Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
they are 3.5 games back lol

16 games into the season. Heat are only 3.5 games behind the Chicago Bulls. Bulls played more games than the Miami Heat.

Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
If you see their losses, they are against teams they wil never meet in the playoffs. Its kinda like lakers never win against bobcats in the regular season but who cares?

[QUOTE=Lebron23]16 games into the season. Heat are only 3.5 games behind the Chicago Bulls. Bulls played more games than the Miami Heat.[/QUOTE]
okay to give you a grasp of how they are performing so far record wise. To give them an even amount of games played to the bulls which is 19, they would win 2-1 of there next 3 games considering there current win percentage which would put them at 13 and 6. Now if they keep performing like they did the last 19 games they will finish with a 45-21 record while the bulls would finish with a 56-10 record. That would put them at 11 games behind the bulls. Not saying that thats how badly they are gonna be behind...just how horrible there record is so far compared to the bulls.

Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
You're already asking what's wrong with them and it's only 16 games in [b]WITH[/b] one of their best players not playing?
The East is always going to have inflated stats. Look at their competition. The only teams that are actually potential title winners are the Bulls & Heat. The other teams will be huge surprises for title runs.
No offense to fans of the other teams. I'm just calling it as I see it.

It seems more like the Lakers can't ever win against Gerald Wallace, man. It's that damn dude Gerald.
Now he's in Portland and what happens when Lakers' faced Portland? They got their asses whooped!
We need somebody who can put a body on Gerald and not get dominated in the post and/or outran toward the basket.

Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
It's 16 games into the season where wade has missed a bunch of games, miller has missed a bunch and only just got back. They had a bad set of games on the west trip which was within a few points.
A result here and there and they are 2nd seed. You don't win championships for doing great in the first 10+ games... They were 9-8 last year and made the finals.
They could easily be 15-5 by the end of this week. As great as bulls have been a win by Miami over the bulls on Sunday and they will be just one back in the loss column.

The OP just wasted some bandwidth. Miami Heat are gonna take that no.1 spot after the Heat beat the Bulls.

I think his point is don't overreact by what you see in the standings his early in the season. A lot can change so quickly as it did last night.

i wasnt asking for what his point was...i was pointing out he was exagerrating to make a point. And what your claim his point was is irrelevant...that has nothing to do with my original post. i was asking why they were losing games.
[QUOTE]why are they not winning like they should? i havent been paying attention to them or watching there games...but how are they not winning games like they should? Are they just not as good enough as everyone thinks they are?[/QUOTE]

so they played 2 games in 1 day? i cant correct someones exaggerated statement now?

Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
well, i found my answer.....there currently 19th in defense, which is why they have lost games they should have won.

Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
Last year they were 10-8 through 18 games. This year, without DWade in half their games, they are 13-5. Woe is the Heat!

Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
13-5 isn't remotely a bad record. The people who thought they would win 60 games were crazy.
-
Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
I thought this would be their year, but they still look mentally weak. It doesn't help that no one knows who's taking the last shot... not even LeBron or Wade.
-
Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
I assume everyone knows that Dwyane Wade hasn't played since January 13.
Yet despite that, they're 13-5, tied for 3rd best record in the entire league
Nothing is "wrong" with them so far. Strange topic.
-
Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
Nothing's wrong with Miami.
They can lose every match against the Wizards, Bobcats, and Pistons, and if they were barely at the 8 spot, they'd still destroy their playoff opponents and stretch anuses.
People want to pretend there's some kind of imaginary disaster happening, but they just have off games every now and then. Fact is, they're probably making the finals again. Stop making shit up.

Re: Whats wrong with the Miami Heat?
More was expected from both Shane Battier, and also Udonis Haslem is missing too often, but that should probably come along in time

+1. At the end of the day they're just too talented and that alone will win you playoff series. People keep forgetting they DOMINATED their road to the Finals and then LeBron laid an egg. I don't expect LeBron to do this season and if Wade plays the way he usually does in the Finals a ship' is coming to Miami.
