Comparing this team to last years champs

Rockets would be the conference champion if in east.
That being said, Heat have deeper bench and better role players overall.

 

all you needed was the nba07 cover.

 

Let's win the championship first before making this comparison. It's just 1-0 in the first round.

 

You left another vital commonality: At one time or another both JVG and Riles have had a strong urge to throw SVG under the bus.

 

Derek Anderson won his first championship ring on the heat bench. Do not know what you are talking about??

 

What if final turns out to be Rockets v. Heat?! where is your destiny then?!!

 

Heats had emotion last year, but not this year.

 

Dwayne Wade basically beat the Mavs singlehandedly last year. I don't think Tmac can play at that level for an extended period (4 straight games)

 

The moment the heat won, people have been making that comparison around here esp. w/ the addition of Bonzi when we all got excited and began declaring that we are now contenders. It's not a bad comparison since teams like Miami win more championships than teams like Pheonix.

a weak bench is a bad knock on this team ...since JVG only plays 6-7 players anyway. Our bench is: Juwan, Luther and Deke. That's actually a pretty good bench. Our next two guys is Big Jake and Snyder both of whom are also not embarassing in spot minutes ...which is all they'll get.

 

Heat were 52-30 last year...just saying.
