Wade was SOOOOOOO smart to only extend until 2010.

Anyone want to bet that Riles "retires" yet again, back to the front office?

Bulls Pistons is gonna be epic.

Thats definately going 7.

BTW, Shaq, just hang em up.

Riles, hang em up.

Ditto for Gary Payton and the other geriatrics.

I don't know if the Heat were a fluke, but they definitely didn't enter this past season prepared to defend their le.

a)You had players coming into training camp out of shape. b) You had a team not ready to play opening night. c) The Heat never really got into a groove since they were never able to keep their entire roster healthy for any stretch of the season. Shaq and Wade missed large chunks of the season. d) Riley had health problems so he couldn't coach effectively the entire season. The list goes on and on.

The Heat did play well for awhile and were able to win the Atlantic, but that's no major accomplishment since the division was crappy all season. Then, when Wade came back in early April, it's almost like he killed the chemistry of the team since guys like Antoine Walker and Eddie Jones couldn't play more prominent roles like they were during his absence when the Heat were playing well.

With all the problems the Heat had this season, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they were easily dispatched in the first round. It's just not an easy thing to just flip a switch when the postseason begins. Teams with better regular season success usually rise to the top in the postseason...except for maybe a certain team in Texas.
