Watched the Miami vs. Orlando game over again.

When Lebron is in, the team loses chemistry.  He just stands around until he gets the ball and it's 1 on 5 - everyone else just stands around.   He doesn't even try to get an offensive rebound.  The coach looks lost.

Also, I don't know if you caught this - one of the commentaries were talking about the the time it takes for players to develop chemistry and Miami is gonna be fine later.  another one says if Magic, MJ, and kareem were on a same team, they would win right away.  then one commentator says that comparison is not fair cause MJ, Magic and kareem are smart players!   haha.

so lebron , bosh, and wade are not smart?

I haven't watched much of the Heat this year so this is interesting to hear.

I really feel like sooner or later, the shit is gonna hit the fan if something doesn't change. Either Lebron's teammates will start getting pissed at him for being a ball hog, or he'll get pissed at the players for not helping enough, or the coatching staff will get a backlash from the team for not making use of all the talent or something..

A winning team has to be more than just the sum of its parts. I think the Heat made the mistake in throwing together a bunch of talent and assumed that meant automatic rings, when there are other factors like team chemistry and knowing your role on a team. The Heat are going to learn the hard way that you simply can't just buy a championship.

That much is obvious based on the fact that they've already got a third of the losses the cavs did all of last season.

The 09 cavs likely would of trounced this 10 heat team so far.
