Top Ten Excuses/Realities for Heat Being in at least Potential Trouble

[Rummpd]

1. Very much over-hyped playing in otherwise pathetic East this year.
2. Wade is not Wade anymore.
3. Bosh is nothing but a soft SF the way he plays - last year he did step up big time in the playoffs but at no point will he go inside and challenge the Hibberts or Duncan's.
4. A off the wall Birdman simply cannot be your second viable scoring option.
5. Insert here ___________is heading for the HOF but cannot longer bring it except as a role player.
6. Spoelstra does not have a clue still.
7. LeBron can be beat as Spurs proved and rather easily when he goes to hero ball mode instead of trying to be Magic II.
8. Officials in the post season were seemingly deeply the bag for the Heat last year, but el flop or el charge or el travel all the time is no longer in vogue.
9. Heat crowd sucks - been there in person at a game against the Celtics this year, and even at its worst, the Spurs crowd is louder and knows something about basketball. If Heat get in trouble the boos from the bandwagoners will ring from the rafters (i.e., softly that is in that pathetic crowd).
10. The pressure will build going into game 5 and beyond; as so much was expected by the BSPN annointed man child and the Heat trio - it is simply very hard to win 7 titles or the like in a row when you blew the first one and then after a single title are considered a dynasty in waiting. Realistically they had lot of trouble with half a Bulls team and should be down 1-3 to the Pacers without a true star. As far as LeBron he had a nearly perfect regular season with stats that are a combo of the Big O, Magic, Nash and Chamberlain all in one - he also got the gift clutch shot in game 1 and now must be the one to deliver instead of Wade. Not convinced he will vs. both a determined Pacers team much less an even better Spurs team by far.

easily
:cry Lebrons teamates let him down :cry

which is the biggest load of bullshit. We are talking about a HOF shooter, top 10 player, top 5 bigman, top 5 defender and a guy who's shotting 85% :lol all in Lebron's supporting cast

:lol blaming the supporting cast when you foul out like an idiot and flop when touched by a 6 foot guard :lol

[OKC]

A little off topic, but not totally since Heat crowd was discussed - is it me or does the Indiana crowd seem oddly quiet, even during late 4th quarter? Like a few of those FG's late in crunch time last night seemed like just another basket to the crowd. Most crowds would be going ape shit during those moments in the game. Maybe it was just hard to pick up on on tv, I don't know..

[hater]

to be fair Heat are fine. They will get to the finals without much worry.

Just pointing out that the 27 win streat Heat have great supporting cast for Lebron. Anything else is a load of bullshit.

Battier is a top 5 perimeter defender and dead eye playoff shooter - fact
Allen is a HOF playoff player - fact
Bosh is a top 5 bigman in the game - fact
and CHildmolester is shooting 85% for the playoffs :lol - fact

not to mention Chalmers is a damn good defender. and Haslem a force to be reckoned with

the 27 game winning streak is living proof Lebron's supporting cast is more than enough

shit, they even beat the NBA Finalist Spurs without Lebron and Wade in San Antonio :lol

if anything Lebron is to blame for his teamates sucking these playoffs. He is mentally weak and not a great leader

[HarlemHeat37]

Indiana has arguably the worst fanbase in the NBA, tbh, it's been the case since the brawl in Detroit..'dem White folks aren't paying to watch Black thugs anymore, tbh..

[Seventyniner]

Pacers fans seemed to go pretty nuts when Stephenson hit the 3 to end the third quarter. Maybe the telecast just dampens the crowd noise like they did for Spurs/Warriors game 5.

[slick'81]

Heat r just bored Tbh

Loudest crowds this season have definitely been OKC & Golden State. Although the Brooklyn crowd was pretty crazy for that game 1.

We all know that's bullshit right now. That was how good he was during the streak when healthy.

Tony Parker >>>>> D Wade right now and it's not even close imo.

no shit really? that was the season ranking coming into the playoffs. So because Wade is shitting the bed in the playoffs therefore he is not a top 10 player this season? :rolleyes

[hater]

Who are you kidding? :lol

ok. 6th bigman. In the same ESPN ranking Bosh came in 6th best bigman.

Don't give a shit about the regular season right now, it couldn't be more irrelevant.

the MVP trophy says hello :lmao

point is Lebron came in with a top 10 robin.

if they fail, the history books will say Lebron had a top 10 help, along with a top 6 bigman, etc, etc. great team

not to mention the 27 game winning streak written in the Guiness books :lol


but don't worry. Heat are making it to the finals. wipping coming in today.

[Jacob1983]

If Pacer fans are KKK members, then why do they love Reggie Miller so much? Your logic is flawed. NBA fans don't care if it's honkeys or brothers on the court. They just want their team to win, damn it.

Yeah, that's exactly what'll happen. No one's gonna remember that Wade played like shit the beginning of the season, got healthy for the 2nd best stretch of wins in NBA history and fooled a bunch of voters then got injured again just in time for the playoffs.

Bosh is the one playing pussified. He shouldn't be getting fucked this hard on the rebounding end when he's completely healthy against west/hibbert. Birdman too tbh.

it's Bosh. he's had a career getting fucked by strong bigmen. He always finds a way to contribute thou, he will and Heat will advance.

Which record would that be?
