So how do you beat the Heat.

[picc84]

Hope they're complacent after winning their 8th championship last season. Plus age should be catching up to them, with Wade turning 36, Bron at 33, Bosh at 34.

No real order:

1. Pray to the basketball gods
2. Zone Defense
3. Somehow bait them into fouls
4. Set the tone early by playing physical defense, hope that superstar calls fade with 3 stars on the same team
5. Hack their worst FT shooter
6. When you foul, foul hard - if you're Dwight Howard, throw plenty of your incidental-contact elbows right into Bosh's previously fractured face
7. Clog the paint and make 'em beat you from the outside; hopefully forcing Wade, James, or a roleplayer into shooting long jumpshots
8. ???????
9.

I think Miami needs a couple of years before they are good enough to win it. That MLE will come in handy to get some critical pieces in 2011 nd 2012.I expect the Heat to not make the finals for 1-3 years. If they don't win by 2014, the big 3 have player options and will probably bail out. I'd trade Bosh for a Perkins like center and a good PG, then they're ready now. Bosh is the weak link, along with their front court. LeBron and Wade is good enough. 2 many cooks spoil te broth and Bosh is the odd man out. If Miami starts failing, look for the blame to go to him for not helping.

Take Lebron James off the team

Go inside and turn on your air conditioner

This joke had already been used twice in this thread..fail..

[The Gemini Method]

I usually jump in the pool or go to a movie...maybe pick up some Cold Stone or Yogurtland...

How do you beat them? Well, its not like they're going to go undefeated or anything. I would probably attack 'em at the frontcourt and consider making them a perimeter-based team.

[MiamiHeat]

73-9 ?

I personally believe they can go undefeated 82-0 in the regular season (not playoffs) if they try their hardest.

You should lay off the coca...they're a loaded team...but not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.

you dont have to be a perfect team to go 82-0

just gotta be better than everyone else and not slack off.

the Heat have enough firepower that even if LeBron or someone has an offnight, they still have so much talent, they can still pull out wins.

the ty to average mediocre teams of the league have no chance.

While this could be true, I would venture to guess you're going to lose either Wade or Bosh to some kind of injury given their history and even if you were to stay healthy, there is a humongous target on their collective back. The supporting cast is going to rely on a Mike Miller that played 50 games last year and a Big Z that has his own share of injuries. Most certainly if they stay completely healthy they'll have a shot at the Bulls record, but there is no way they'll go undefeated.

You flash Spurs as your team
Your user name implies Knicks or Heat fan
Your avatar says Heat fan.

Obviously you are a bandwagon fan, and as I have seen, you rarely contribute anything useful to a discussion.

This isn't 2007 when the Celtics leaped above the whole league with their trades.

Right now you have 3 teams that have championship experience and open windows:

1) Spurs: Duncan is signed through 2012.
2) Celtics: Big 3 through 2012, Pierce through 2014. Rondo may still improve.
3) Lakers: Kobe and Pau signed through 2014.
4) Magic: want back in the finals.

Not to mention a number of teams with a shot in the coming years, including the Bulls, Thunder, Blazers and wherever Melo and CP3 wind up.

The Heat team is built to win over the long haul. The league will rise to the challenge. Miami just isn't ready, too many other hungrier teams that must win NOW in their way. The future could be theirs. There is just as good a chance it won't be as it will if they don't win in the next two years. I say they don't. That's my opinion, but at least I give reasons for it.

Robin and Batgirl needed to join Batman in South Beach because they couldn't do it alone. You fell for the hype, plain and simple. If Miami does win next year and after, it will not be as easy as you think. It will be tooth and nail and down to the bitter end. Wake up and pay attention to the other great teams out there, there are more now than ever before in NBA history.

However, a typical bandwagon homer like you rarely sees .

....as long as they dont play the mavs they aint winning

[Don Ready]

Carter isn't , I'd rather have him over Bosh

Your right he's even more worthless than . can atleast be used as fertilizer. Carter's only worth is wasting money.

If games were played on paper sure.

[TheKingOfMIA6]

Some of you guys are overrating our team when we haven't played a game with the new roster but we'll wait and see I hope they'll be as good as you Heat fans say.

Tbh, that was some of the worst analysis I've seen in a while..

I have an all-spurs talk medal for a reason, I'm an elite contributor here, my analysis and arguments on both floors got me that respect..

[HarlemHeat37]

Thanks, How is Lebron's these days?

Magical, tbh..

Why does it annoy you so much?..

Wow, just wow. Some of the worst analysis you have seen in awhile? Do you expect anyone to take your word on that when you don't even try to justify why it's the worst analysis? What part is bad? So let's have a look at all the perfectly logical points I made that you dismissed as trash:

1) Spurs, Celtics, and Lakers have championship experience?
2) They are all hungry for more?
3) They can't be counted out until their teams windows closed? I even gave the years.
4) That there may be more great teams now than at any time in NBA history?
5) That LeBron admitted he needed help and became Robin to Wade's Batman?
6) CP3 and Melo may team up somewhere, with Amar'e perhaps in NY?
7) That the rest of the league is on notice to deal with the Heat?
8) That maybe other teams are hungrier than the Heat?
9) That other teams need to win now while the Heat may have 10 years to do their thing?
10) That if the Heat don't win by 2014, some of the Big 3 might opt out?

You didn't even challenge me. That makes you a pussy in my book. You here that? You are a pussy! Many people know that already.

Yeah, you have your elite award so far stuck up your ass it blinds you. You think you can say anything and that makes it right. Maybe you have brainwashed some people with some good posts, but consistency with them is not your forte.

Son, I owned your alter ego MiamiHeat already, now it's your turn.
