You really think so or are you trolling? Even without Rose they have a pretty solid lineup with Deng, Noah, and Boozer.
There are only three teams that have a chance to win it all. Heat, Lakers, OKC. Celtics are one year or two away from rebuilding.
Without Rose they got dismantled by Philly... I'm glad they did too. There were too many D-Rose haters saying that Rose is not important to Chicago and that the only reason they were winning games were because of defense and not Rose. Shut those haters up!
I always give the edge to the defending champs unless they suffer a major loss. Gotta give the champs that respect.
Celtics!?!??!!? Why would you ever say that? Last 2 seasons Celtics lost heat and heat have gotten better.In believe 90 percent chance Miami will win the conference
If Miami Heat was Super Team then the Lakers is the Real Super Team. The only way the Lakers will lose will be Kobe chuck his team out of the game and it will happen.
I'm from the future. Howard never recovers from back issues and age catches up with Nash. Lakers lose in CF to Spurs. Miami beat Spurs in finals. Rockets get 14th pic. Sorry.
I would be cautious here because the fact that some overlook here is that X-treme chemistry and a bond Bosh, Wade and Lebron are peers coming to this league at around the exact time, they are the true superfriends, their kids playing with each other, going to Oprah's together So will be interesting to watch, Lakers might still prove to be strong but this team can easily implode and be blown up because Kobe and Howard are not really team guys. They are extremely arrogant and selfish, Gasol is emotional and the only guy here who can fix them is NASH IMO.
