    The only reasonable explanation I could come up with was...

    Flatulence.

    I Guess.

    Theres no way the heat win a title with Spoelstra as coach. Guy looks clueless against elite coaches like Doc.

    The heat have ZERO offensive gameplan.

    you're putting 3 elite offensive players together. it's not going to peaches and cream like a pick-up game man. offense will take time. right now the heat is winning with defense and opportunistic offense.

    this is not a traditional 3-superstar offense we're talking about here. it's a unique circumstance, but an exciting one.

    No... because they aren't the better team out of the two right now. Like I said, I'll reevaluate them later on during the season.... but it's pretty apparent to me that the Miami Heat are not one of the two best teams in the East right now until they fix some of their issues. They've been surprisingly good on the defensive end early in the season, will be interesting to see if they can hold those stats up.

    What is a traditional 3-superstar offense in this case? Aren't having 3 superstars on a basketball team a unique circumstance pretty much all the time?

    none of them were top 5 players coming into that. lebron and wade are top 3 players, with bosh a top 10-15 players. the magnitude is bigger in this case. and they are all much better 1-on-1 players except for bosh v. kg.

    Bosh is NOT elite.

    Mike Miller, if healthy and returns to form, will have more impact on this team than Chris Bosh will.

    i'm sorry, a guy coming into tis season who put up 24 and 11 on 52% fg is elite. he is not playing like it now, but coming into the season, he was elite.

    Actually Bosh WAS elite in toronto, he just SUCKS in his 8 games here. Remember this offseason almost every team wanted him, including the rockets.

    What kind of stupid logic is that? The Jazz beat the Heat and the Magic.... are you ready to say the Jazz are better than the Magic and the Heat?

    the problem with bosh is he is thinking too much. and he is letting the criticism get to him. the guy is too talented offensively to struggle like this, even in limited shot attempts. he just needs to be aggressive.

    defensively, he just needs to play meaner. that may be hard for him to do.

    He got his numbers on a bad team. As I have said before, using this logic, Juwan Howard was elite once. Chris Bosh has always avoided contact and has a reputation of being soft.

    He masquerades as a PF but plays more like a SF. Heat has visions of him playing center *gasp*.

    I dont even care about his scoring. If he would just man up and guard the paint, Heat will gladly take it.

    You dont need chemistry to get rebounds and defend the paint.

    You dont need chemistry to knock down open jump shots.

    You dont need chemistry to step up and actually put your hands up when Rondo just waltzes into the lane.

    As I said. His legs are healthly which means:

    1) His defense is phenomenal once again
    2) His jumpshot is dead on.

    Go Boston! I enjoy that game :)

    Yeah, sure. Let's just allow Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett shoot uncontested jumpers.

    Then it's Allen, KG or Rondo's time to dominate.
