    I think it's safe to say the Big 3 in Miami will stay together. 100% sure LBJ, Wade, and Bosh will push this legend run forward.

    Morey. You can forget the breakage of the Big 3 in Miami. Thank goodness.

    I am worried the Heat will get better this season after they take paycuts :/. It's for sure happening.

    Now we can for sure focus on Melo and so on.

    Marc Gasol's offense is a poor version of Yao. His defense is better though.

    Hibbert at his best is close to Yao in numbers only. Not his playing style.

    Hibbert at worst is the worst version of any NBA starting Center.

    so if he is any version of Yao (and Yao would not want any piece of that) then it is a homeless and starving man's version

    You must not get out much. I've never heard a Pacer fan or a Net fan 'run their mouths'. I've never even met a Pacer fan in person. Just a Nets fan who said "I think we've got a shot to knock 'em off."

    Didn't see that beatdown coming, but Pacers ain't going to the Finals with the big 3 together. Just ain't happening.

    This has been about as easy a road to the NBA finals as the Heat could've hoped for. They've only played 15 playoff games. Their stars are well-rested. In fact, Lebron James averaged fewer minutes per game in the Indiana series than he did in the entire regular season and averaged less than 30 minutes a game in the last 2 games. They had no major injuries. Role players are playing well. In fact, I'd say this team is a much better rebounding team and physically tougher than last year's team. I know SA or OKC will be the toughest opponent Miami could face, but a Heat team this well rested and unscathed is not going to lose in the NBA finals.

    The main difference is Wade's health.

    Disgusting journalism from the others. I'm glad people are calling them out.

    Hibbert and Yao don't belong in the same post even.

    Hibbert is like that old stiff they called "Candy Man" -- anyone remember him? Shut him down, and move on.

    Damn, that's really out of context. They literally used the first three words he said. Media is really trying to squeeze as much drama as they can out if this. My guess is you'll hear more about this then the actual game itself.

    I said this before the playoffs that the Heat will go under everyone's radar due to the fact that they aren't the number 1 seed and a lot of the pro Pacers crowd here laughed at me and told me how the Pacers and the Spurs are the teams to beat :rolleyes:

    Well now Miami is well rested and Spurs are locked in a deathmatch with OKC, GG unless the Heat have a meltdown it's 3 peat for the Heat and another finals MVP for LBJ.
