I still believe in you miami heat. lol


Truth is all the have to do is make the playoffs.

And then your facing 3 elite talents playing not just another game, but ones that can get then to a Championship.  Lebron alone carried a team pretty far, now hes got two top talents helping them.

@Killiana1a
A post game does take effort.  It starts when your young imo.  A lot of it has to do with footwork.  You don't learn footwork by playing streetball and pickup games.  So many players today have terrible footwork.  Hakeem "The Dream" was great in part because he had excellent footwork.  Can you imagine Blake Griffin with a great post game?  If someone with his talent and athleticism develops a baby hook or jump hook he will be almost unstoppable.  That shot is nearly impossible to defend without a proper double team.  Why don't bigs develop that shot?

Is it wrong of my to hate the thunder,when I live in the same city?



The Heat MUST reach the playoffs because if it is otherwise, it will be a tremendous fail. They now must learn to co-exist together and let to the old leader and (and the only one) former NBA Champion of the team Dwayne Wade be the leader.  

In my opinion the best center ever is Hakeem, but actually the best active center is by far Dwight Howard, he has taken personal classes from Hakeem (about footwork and hook shots) and also don´t forget Ewing is at the bench too.

In my opinion Orlando is being undestimated, but it will be the Black Horse these Playoffs due to the all experience gained recently in the playoffs and the team is basically the same.

I like Orlando, but their reliance on the three point game proves to ultimately be their demise in the playoffs.  Just ask Phoenix how many championships you can win when relying on 3's.  Also, they don't have enough "nasty" bigs that are tough guys.  LA has them.  Boston has them.  Detroit and San Antonio both had them.  Don't underestimate how much of a role "toughness" plays into being successful.

Not really.  I'm from OKC also.  Most people are still used to rooting for whatever team they were fans of until the Thunder came to town.  I'm sure if the  Thunder were to ever make it to an NBA Finals, more people would ditch their respective bandwagons.  

I was a Bulls fan in the 90s and a Pistons fan up until the Thunder came.  I even bought a Durant jersey.  I always told myself I wouldn't buy a jersey until OKC gets a pro team of any kind.

Yeah, the Heat missing the post season will be seen as a flop. But that is very unlikely since they are in the East. Are you saying that Wade should have the ball in his hands most of the time ? Or that he should just close out games. I think the Heat can win a championship with Lebron or Wade as the leader.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

Dude they'll make the playoffs... over half the league makes the playoffs. 

Right now the Cavs would make the playoffs.  Heat are a 4 seed.

Also, i totally disagree about Dwayne Wade being the leader... if you watch heat games one thing is very aparent.

Lebron James is a LOT better.

 

Wait for mike Miller to get back, though there is bad news in that their "4th man" Haslem has a torn ligament and could require surgery.

 

Yankees blowing the playoffs, Dallas Cowboys going from Superbowl contender to complete flop, Heat's massive injury problems.  It's almost like Lebron is cursed.
