this is not to pick on, or make fun of the heat, but after all the hype (i.e. "the decision", the firework and spotlight introduction press conference, the predicted 8-9 championships),,,,,,,,things have not exactly panned out so far.
4-5 against teams that are just .500 or better could not have been what was expected, by the team, or its fans. (although i think the elite teams had an idea, even if they were not talking)
i remember what the spurs did to lebron when he did make it to the finals. it was absolutely a dominating display of team defense by the spurs. (since ive been watching nba games that might have been the best four games of defense ive ever seen, and proved beyond a doubt what it takes to win rings)
now im not saying that lebron and company cant find the right rotations to improve, but at some point that rotation is going to need to get better play out of their bigs and the pg positions, and i dont see how that will happen given the competition. i mean,,, who is the center on that team?
with the balance of power strongly belonging to the west (boston, miami, chicago and orlando not withstanding) the heat will make the playoffs.
how will they fare once there?
