And Lakers/ D-whistle not being a primadonna injury prone
In terms of the franchise winning its second championship? I would like to hear your opinions please.

I added Stern in the poll just for those angling for an NBA conspiracy. People may say David Stern will do everything in power to allow a Lakers-Heat Finals, but as we all know this theory has been shut down numerous times.
I voted for injury and David Stern. An injury to any of the three will be a big blow for the Heat. Obviously their biggest strength is at the perimeter, Say Lebron goes down, I don't think Wade can lead this cast to a championship for the simple fact that defenses are simply going to collapse and focus on him and vice versa. With both on board, the task of containing either player is next to impossible and I'm being very humble about this. I don't think the league has ever seen its 1st and 2nd best players at their prime playing for the same team. Put it this way, imagine a smaller version of Jordan (Wade) and a much physical and better rebounding version of Magic (Lebron) playing together. Yeah it's really scary.
David Stern. I hear chuckle, but I'm not crazy. I think if David Stern can really affect an outcome of a series (I believe he does'nt btw) then I can see Boston advancing instead of Miami this year. Boston and LA has already started their story before the season even ended.
*Doc said the Lakers has never beaten his healthy starting 5
*Kobe fired and said the Celtics hasn't neither (referenced Bynum and Ariza)
* Celtics owner said he pursued Shaq as soon as he heard Kobe on TV saying he got 1 more than Shaq
Pretty smart if you ask me. Both teams are already playing with the media. Celtics-Lakers. Shaq-Kobe. Artest-Pierce. Garnett-Gasol. Doc-Phil Jackson. The animosity is there, the rich tradition is there, big market angle is there. You can pretty much build your own interesting stories with those matchups all day long if you ask me. I can see Stern milking this rivalry one last time before the Celtics dinosaurs becomes fully irrelevant in 2012.
...findin' a way to seed Dallas as their opponent once again.
I usually don't view "injuries" as an obstacle to be overcome. Although some players obviously have more of a propensity for injury, I think the Heat's biggest obstacles are both themselves and, going by the odds, LAL.
MIA will do well initially. They are going to be feeling better about the situation than perhaps, ever, because of its brand newness. What will be key is sustaining it, and not letting Wade, James, and Bosh's overall talent stifle the Heat's actual growth as a team. It will be very interesting seeing the Big 3 in close games: who controls the ball the most down the stretch, and who really takes over the scoring, especially as the season gets on.
I'm especially curious about the Lebron vs. Wade situation, of course, but how well Bosh fits in could be just as important, the rest of that hastily thrown together group notwithstanding.
Well, pish posh.
Big of ya, Z, very white bread of ya.
what?
btw,at Stern, the evil emperor, standing in the way of the Heat. He's been hard at work moving the NBA into the "superteams" direction for some time now.
Assuming this isn't a troll's poll, you'd have to be pretty re ed to list 7 obstacles for the Heat and not have lack of size as one of them.
Interior defense. Lack of size might not kill them with rebounding because LeBron and Bosh are good rebounders at their positions, but I think defending the interior consistently against really good C/PFs will be a problem, especially in the playoffs.
in the eyes of lakers homers, kobe winning ship over queenbron, dwhistle, and cbosh is enough to make him the GOAT
that sight will absolutely be sickening
our biggest obstacle will be right inside our locker room imho. it ain't easy to accommodate 3 superstars tbh, especially when 2 of them always want the ball in their own hands. its pretty much like two virgin males pursuing one same girl tbh.
Oh, I get it:::Milt is allowed smack-dab "right inside our locker room"....but, Luva & I and Big Kool are ridiculed ceaselessly when we utter the "our" word.
If this don't beat all I have ever seen.
Chemistry, establishing a rotation, and a depth chart upfront.
Chemistry is going to cost them a championship.
Stern.
Uhh, lack of legit size and a post game?

Yes, this theory has been shut down numerous times since the Heat's blockbuster trade.
Wait, what?
Let us proceed...
lol @ dallas
I say Chemistry, Ego or inexperienced coach, not saying the coach is bad, because he isn't, but I can see him turning into L. Frank good team, but can't lead them to the finals
Woe be to this board when that happens, son.
