JVG thinks the Heat will be the greatest team EVER

I'm just hoping he's wrong.

but I pretty much know he's right.

 

here goes our championship hopes...

 

He's leaving out one thing, the referees. Does anyone really think the Finals won't go seven games?

 

Re: commentary and predictions

JVG = Bill Walton

I thought the refs were suppose to favor Kobe and Lakers and help them win?

 

They said the same sort of things about the Wilt-West-Baylor combination. The Lakers were a championship contender without Wilt, and then they get him for peanuts to (supposedly) fill in their biggest weakness (center against Russell). Baylor was a bit past his prime, but West and Wilt were still in theirs.

Of course, they didn't become a dynasty. Turns out, the Celts had one last run in them, and then Kareem came into the league instantly lifting his team to championship contender status with Robertson and the Knicks became a great team, but nobody saw that coming in the summer of 1968. As Chris Berman likes to say, that's why we play the games.

 

Kobe, Shaq, Payton, Malone - did not work.

Hakeem, Barkley, Drexler - Did not work.

Hakeem, Pippen, Barkley - Did not work.

Chemistry is so overlooked....there is only ONE basketball.

72 games with a guy like LeBron who quit in game 5, and a guy like Bosh who is Tmac like in his pursuit of fame over wins.....and then Wade....probably the best competitor of the bunch.....but who gets the ball late, Wade or Lebron?

Whose ego gets checked?

It is all wine and roses now, but wait until someone is up in their face guarding them.

they can may be win a 80 game
but we'll see how they respond to playoffs pressure and defense
especially Boston
if they get to the finals let's say against the Lakers then:
Who can defend Gasol?: Big Z?!!
Kobe?may be Wade ? or James?
then Bynum or Odom: do you think Bosh is good enough to guard them?
The Heat would win if they face teams like Phoenix, but no way they can pass

LA are still better

 

Evryime you put a loser like Barkley into equation it will not work.

Evryime you put a loser like Karl into equation it will not work.

Everytime you put **** into the best food inthe world, it will taske like you-know-what.

I don't worry about the Wade-James chemistry. I think these 2 are very open to each other and with great personaily. If Bosh is no ****, why not. But Chris is the dark horse here.

 

exactly
it's funny how people jump to say wow this is the best team ever
it has been proven that to win you need One player to command i mean to be da man, the rest of players follow
i think that the Celtics and may be the Pistons are the exception to this
but having top 5 players in the same team!!! they will have big problems to deal with their egos
i'd rather have a well balanced team like the Lakers than this too crowded of stars team of Heat
see ya in the playoffs :grin: :grin:

 

that's turrible

 

Did you create this opinion for the sake of generating controversy?

 

Karl Malone and Charles Barkley were far from losers my friend. They just happened to be playing in an era where Jordan was dominating year after year.

 

Most of those guys were getting older though.

Lebron, Bosh, Wade have 6 years together and spending most of those years in their prime.

 

If LA are better than heats, we could beat both of them :grin: :grin:

 

The point is that you can not combine Alpha Males and expect it to work, someone has to sugjegate their game and ultimately fame for the good of the team.

None of these guys (outside of Wade) has done that.

Do you think Lebron and his "Look at me" attitude can do it? What about Bosh and his "Follow me on Twitter" can do it?

The first time these guys see adversity and the finger pointing comes out....they will fall apart like cheap corn bread.

maybe, maybe not. but your comparisons earlier completely suck.

 

I'm sure both of them did not play for only 6 years if you know what i mean.

Thomas beat Jordan.

Bird and Magic were both dominant but they found a way to win and beat each other.
