    Dude, chill out...read my whole post, don't just quote a few sentences. I pointed that out to say that Miami are what u see just like boston was in 08. Yes they are going to get better as the season progresses but its nothing to be scared of because they are not going to be better than the lakers or the celtics with this current roster. They are not just all of sudden going to start dominating the entire league, not this year. So you think this Miami current squad can be scary once they click. Well I think this current Miami squad won't be scary even when they click because they don't have the players to fill key roles on the court. They are closer to "there gel" then u think imo.

    Now if they get some key additions via trade, whatever, or if Bosh stop playing like the drag queen of big men then that can change things. But I doubt either will happen.

Wade and Lebron haven't figured out who is going to direct the offense, be the coach on the floor and direct the theme of how to deal with the media. They are playing "guess so" leadership. Like Reggie Miller said, you can only have one Chief.

      Doesn't mean the other guys are completely subordinate. It's just a matter of everyone getting into their roles. Someone has to handle the "emotional leader" someone has to handle the "defensive leader" and "floor general" and "closer" and so on and so forth. Bron and Wade have done all of those things and haven't sussed out what they want to hold on to, and what they want to give up.

      So when things go wrong, there is an ugly and total breakdown.

      And Spoel is not a strong enough personality to bring this all in. Doc is. Phil is. Riles is. Popp is.
      What LeBron needs to do is take on the same role he had in the '08 Olympics. Be the defensive leader, grab rebounds, get guys easy looks and let Wade (Kobe in '08) be the go-to guy, crunch time scorer, etc.

        Don't worry about me, I'm definitely chill.

        Don't try and say you didn't say something and act like my comprehension is lacking when you clearly did compare the two teams. That is the main thing.

        Second, I never said they were going to be "better" than LA or Boston, just better than they look right now. I think that's pretty darn obvious so you're not saying anything new there.

          This might sound stupid (good preface), but the Heat don't remind me of Boston much, I actually think of them as the mid 90s Bulls. Scottie/MJ is similar to James/Wade. There isn't much of a match for Bosh though, maybe Horace Grant?

          Idunno, point being they don't have a center or pg. It's not an exact match, but that's sorta what I think of as a comparison.

            Horace actually rebounded though.

Toine, Payton, Zo, J-Will were all older players, so Riles knew that it could be just a couple of years before they'd be rebuilding. WaBrosh is an under 30 core. They need a 10 year coach.
              Great point. Not a lot of people mention that.

                  Orlando.

                  They're as disappointing if not more than Miami.

                  Inexcusable loss today.. Toronto was missing Barbosa and Kleiza.

                  Orlando lost 7 games at home all last year, they've already lost 2 this year.

                      Holy crap, dude...

                      Then again, when you play with pretty much no one who can rebound, I suppose you HAVE to get 26 rebounds.

                      I would say the T-Wolves have a bright future but...KAHN!

                        Hehe, yeah that's true.

                        Still though, that's just amazing. He's been a rebounding machine in his career.

                        Also wtf has gotten into B-Easy? I still don't like his skill set but he's putting up numbers this year. I guess it's just one of those situations where nobody else is gonna demand that many shot attempts except for him.

                          Love's about to get 30 rebounds.

                          And Michael Beasley is looking like one hell of a fantasy pickup and MIP candidate right now.

                          And wow the TWolves with the comeback.

                                Love going for a 30-30 game. Crazy man, wow.

                                Edit: According to someone's tweet, Love just recorded the first 30-rebound NBA game since Barkley in 1996 - he now has 31 boards in 37 minutes.
