Wade's game has deteriorated. There is no place where he can find his contentment. He's worried about James maxing out his potential and Wade just wants to augment that max with his very best. Problem is Wade is the known proven impact, not James.
No that isn't the problem dude. It is laziness, boredom, consistency, etc etc. It is all within themselves. They have to realize that focus and effort are a must for 48 minutes, and that will fix everything. Losing Haslem certainly didn't help either.
im sure its amateur allure
Is this real life?
I'll tell you their problem right here and now. First, they weren't ready to win right away, they need a couple of years at least as most every multiple champion can attest. Second, they celebrated multiple championships in July: "not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7..." They have only lost 21 games but other teams want to beat them as badly as any other team, if not more so. If the Miami Thrice never ring, LeBron's prediction will haunt him forever.
Ok, so I'll look at it this way. Suppose I am LeBron James. Arguably, I am going to be in contention for the GOAT discussion when all is said and done. Few players in NBA history can dominate as I can. After Wilt and MJ, it's hard to even think about putting someone ahead of us. Now, the only thing missing from my legacy is rings. D-Wade, Bosh, CP3 and I all decide we want to play together. We figure if we do, no team can stop us. Well, Paul can't join the party but we can bring the other three together. That's all we have to do, is play together and win 8+ rings.
Well, LeBron got what he wanted, to play together with is buddies. Now he is finding out why GM's put championshkip teams together, not players. Can't blame Riley for trying though. When a chance like this falls in your lap, you must go for it. Maybe not again though. History will answer that.
That excuse might fly and might even have some validity after the second Chicago loss or after the Orlando game when they blew that big lead. After the embarrassment against the Spurs and especially after losing to the Blazers at home, that's some horse . There's something wrong with their collective confidence. A couple big wins would help. But I can't see how anyone could think it's boredom or laziness at this point.
Aside from Wade there is no proven track record. No championship presence there. Even Wade's ringage reeks of dubious heritage. It counts, yes, without a doubt, but, there was nothing proven there.
Only Wade has an inkling as to the path. But, he's hamstrung by James' presence, the pecking order is:::James, Wade,,,,on & on. It has to be that way. If they have to rearrange that order they'd have to do it in broad daylight, and Stern would have a kaniption, even is James signed off on it.. James has to lead, out front high & wide. He may just be innately incapable.
No offensive flow and roles players not getting involved. Bosh needs to be aggressive.
o troll!
Bosh said he is going to play more like a bigman. That is GREAT news for us heat fans! More signs that things are looking better for these guys. Bosh manning up on his flaws should lift this team out of this funk.
Bosh e man up??
It's a wonder they get anything done. There half court offense looks like a Chinese fire drill for Christ sakes. It makes one nervous just watching them.
yeah cause nothing says "i dont give a " like bawling in the locker room and promising the world you wont let them down anymore.
The problem is that Bosh is hugely overrated. Why this wasn't obvious to the Heat in the first place is beyond me.
He's a jumpshooting big who doesn't rebound and doesn't block shots.
If he were even a Robert Horry, who could defend and block shots, that would be great. But he's not.
Chris Bosh is only a little better than a Brad Sellers. He just floats around and flips up jumpers. Barney is more aggressive than Bosh.
I don't think it is a confidence issue dude. They are way too talented to be losing 5 games in a row like that. It has to be a lack of motivation or simply not caring. The effort simply isn't there. This is the most talented team in basketball. They aren't this bad. If they were out there trying their hardest on a consistent basis, this 5 game losing streak wouldn't be happening. This team gets along just fine. They all love each other. They just need to have the same hungry mindset. That is all they really need. They will turn it around. Again this is the most talented and stacked team in basketball. They are way too good to keep this skid going.
Bosh says he will start playing like a bigman. Seeing him say that in the postgame has me believing he will do this. He says he will play in the post more. This could be the thing to ignite the heat to shift to that unbeatable level.
They pickin up in the playoffs, no doubt about that. The 2006 Champion Miami Heat were also having some sort of chemistry issues.
Once the playoff season rolls, Wade will right the ship and put Lebron and Bosh in their proper places.
Laugh all you want but the Heat are going to be a different team in postseason. Wade and Bron are born to perform in the postseason anyway.
Spoelstra is playing mind games with his players. He is pulling a page from Phil Jackson's book. People are lynching him for saying this to the press, but I think it was brilliant. He is trying to light a fire under his teams ass.
Their one le in 14 collective years notwithstanding.
I couldnt agree more. Spo took one for the team and will continue to do so until Bron has him removed.
True , true.
I see you believe in the Green Lantern Theory. Just replace the word "Geopolitics" with "Basketball".

Or maybe you prefer Peter Pan? If the Heat's bench claps harder, will they play better?What's more, this theory can't be empirically demonstrated to be wrong. Things that you or I might take as demonstrating the limited utility of military power (or basketball skill) to accomplish certain kinds of things are, instead, taken as evidence of lack of will.
Bron has him removed? This team gets along. Spo isn't leaving especially after they win it all this year. People keep thinking the heat are in trouble which is ing hilarious. They simply aren't giving it their all, and they are BARLEY losing games sans the Spurs game (b2b). You can't tell me these issues of boredom will continue come playoff time when it's win or go home time.
Bibby/House/Miller/Jones/Anthony/Z and possibly Haslem come late April. That bench is pretty damn good when they want to be. Again, it is all about effort and consistency and not with talent or chemistry issues.
You'd think they'd want to be good NOW, to lock up a home seed. But I guess they're cool with the third seed, and they'll drink their magic motivation Smurfariffic fruity punch drink before the playoffs in order to find that inner glow.
lol You are delusional. Lakers own a huge size advantage over the Heat as well as most teams. The Heat probably won't get past the second round.
