Will Heat repeat?

[InRareForm]

I can see another rematch next season.

Problem is: wade's another year older

but the good thing is Heat will improve by adding a player that will contribute to another run.

[Jacob1983]

No because the New Orleans Hornets-Basketball Reasons-Spirit-bad weather survivors will shock the world and win the NBA championship next year.

[lefty]

No


OKC will learn and eventually win it all next year

[Clipper Nation]

No... CP3 and Griffin will be too beastly and too clutch for the Heat, tbh.

I was waiting for the "ba dum tss!", tbh.

Spurs got a good shot against OKC next season if Harden turns into Danny Green v.2.0 once again

No they do not.

[Josepatches_]

First of all Miami has to win one more game.

Next year they should make the Finals again. I would expect LeBron playing less minutes in the regular season so he will be full of energy coming playoff time. Not same pressure after win one it will help too



Not sure about OKC. Durant will be better but Ibaka and Harden could be out of the team. But only Clippers are young enough to improve next year. They should win the West again

[Jacob1983]

What happens if OKC wins games 5, 6, and 7?

[Venti Quattro]

What happens if OKC wins games 5, 6, and 7?

Then they become champions. Duh.

[Jacob1983]

Is Stern tempted to pull the trigger on that? Which scenario creates more revenue and buzz: Lebron finally winning a ring or OKC coming back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals to win the championship?

[DeadlyDynasty]

No they do not.

[oh crap]

What happens if OKC wins games 5, 6, and 7?

Won't happen. BUT, if it did, it would be one of the most amazing and magical story's to ever happen. I know historically it's never happened but really it only starts with one win, steal game 5 then go back home, you'd have to think that Harden would get his head out of his ass and you just see what happens. Wishful thinking but who says they can't? they were down 2-0 against SAS on a 20 game win streak and went on to win 4 in a row. It's not happened yet but i'm not so sure this thing is over. Hope the Thunder push it to 6 or 7 and take their chances. you never know.

[mavs>spurs]

I really don't think so, wade and bosh are barely giving lebron enough help to pull it off this time. next year wade may very well be completely tosb tbh.

[Venti Quattro]

next year wade may very well be completely tosb tbh.
I think Wade is just a Germany treatment away from rejuvenating his old physical self, tbh. Or at least he could match it. He's just 30/31 next season.

[Kai]

Steve Nash to Miami happening.

[Kidd K]

If the Spurs are healthy again, then no. I think they will make one last run and take it.

Unless Stern screws the Spurs in the WCF again to artificially continue the Thunder's artificially started championship push.

[HeatChamps]

Not 2 Not 3 Not 4 Not 5 Not 6 Not 7.

[mavs>spurs]

I think Wade is just a Germany treatment away from rejuvenating his old physical self, tbh. Or at least he could match it. He's just 30/31 next season.

Yeah this could be true, I forget about all the new age treatments. I guess we'll have to see as far as that goes, I'm willing to bet though that everyone's success with that treatment isn't created equally just because it worked for Kobe.

[Kai]

Germany treatment is just a series of happy ending massages.

[BanditHiro]

they a have an automatic spot at the finals since the bulls are damaged goods.

[Spurologist]

Clippers take it next year. Griffin is working on jumping from the 3pt line. CP3 is perfecting his hurricane flop.

[Legacy]

NOBODY can stop The LeBrons. :devil

[tesseractive]

Not 2 Not 3 Not 4 Not 5 Not 6 Not 7.

So 1 and done then?

[TIMMYtoZO]

Steve Nash to Miami happening.

No thanks on Nash. Miami is fine with Chalmers/Cole. They will target a true center.

[Ace]

The Heat will only improve in coaching, team play, roster wise and I'm sure Wade will do what's necessary. Wishful thinking won't make them go away. :lol

[TIMMYtoZO]

As for the thread, Miami will repeat. This team will be a dynasty as long as they stay healthy and focused. The 3 kings along with the rest of the team will have proven championship experience together. That alone gives them a major edge. Lebron isn't even close to being done winning titles.

[DPG21920]

If healthy, with the smart additions of players, they are obviously a strong candidate. Repeating is hard, repeating without a dominant big/post play? Could be very difficult.

[baseline bum]

You gotta think Miami will land a really solid veteran with the mini-MLE and be a better team next year, just like they were this year after picking up Battier.

[DPG21920]

Wonder if they can talk a guy like KG into less money?
