Luva is correct here. James does quit.
We know how that will go down.(remember last Christmas?)

Do you mean field-goal percentage or how many points he is going to score? If you mean the former, then yeah, he is going to get easy looks, much better than trying to create for himself in Toronto. But if you mean he is going to duplicate the numbers he put up in Toronto last year, no effing way. Last year LeBron's usage rate was 33.5%. Wade was 35%. Bosh was at 28.7%. That adds up to about 97%. Bosh is NOT going to score 24 points on 17 shot attempts per game like he did last year with the Raptors. If I had to guess, it will be more like 16-17 points on 11 shot attempts. I wonder if he is going to be happy with that after 2-3 years. Will LeBron eventually chafe at the reality that he has to share credit for championships with Wade?
To me, the biggest obstacle to this working is not other teams or having to fill out their roster with vet minimum slots, but if these guys really understand just how much of their games they are going to have to sacrifice to make this work. Both Wade and Bron are really gifted passers, but they do their best work with the ball in their hands.
As for Bosh vs Gasol, I give the edge to the Lakers there. Gasol has a gifted low-post game, whereas Bosh when push comes to shove is a midrange jump shooter.
The supporting cast won't be an issue as long as they add a capable starting C. The one thing standing between Miami and a le is whether or not Lebron and Bosh are going to lower their role on offense and be the perimeter/interior anchors on D (and Lebron needs to be a more consistent shooter). I'm actually at this point anxious to see how those two adjust their games. I'm pretty sure Lebron will, Bosh IMO is the major question mark. He's got a lot of strides he needs to make on D before Miami would beat LA in a series.
EDIT: Findog basically just said this in the post above.
Yeah, because nothing screams "class act" like wearing band aids under your eye that have your name on them.Class act.
Always has been, always will be.
He knows HEAT are the best, but he pays the due respects to the defending champions.
You can't declare yourself champ until you dethrone the champ.
Wade, you are a credit to Miami
Funny when Heat fans talk about Wade and Kobe and always say he's an adulterer when Wade did the same.Yeah, because nothing screams "class act" like wearing band aids under your eye that have your name on them.
Or comparing your big trio to the best big trio ever.
I wanted chandler i felt like he was the best fit for this team .
Wade said the back-to-back champions are the team to beat...damn!
That Miami Heat team hasn't even played 1 game yet together. It takes talent, chemistry, knowledge of the game to win an NBA le and a solid smart coach and lots of defense. Lakers are the favorites in the 2011 season until somebody beats them in the playoffs or say they have some key injurys and fail to qualify for the playoffs, either way they are still the champs of the NBA until someone beats them.
WTF?! Wade is a little . He just doesnt want Miami to be a target. All good...we got Lebron. 8 Peat!
Just stating facts, defending champs are the team to beat not some team that has yet to prove they can even play together. Regardless of what bandwagoners/homers say. You can't just throw a group of players together and think they'll mesh and play well. Building a team is putting the right talent for the group to work as a team. This isn't fantasy basketball (see 04 Lakers)
Lol "we"? You bandwagoners are gonna look real foolish when this team fails. Better not disappear afterwards either.
by the way they've been celebrating and saying they gonna win 8 times...im surprised Wade said this...i guess he wanted to relieve some pressure off Lebron.
TheNextGen, gettin' his San Antonio Heat on.
