    That team can't beat Boston or Orlando to even get to the finals.

    Yes as it stands, but that won't be the team the put on the court...3 against 5.

    There is no way, that David Stern and the NBA let Miami fail...They will sign other quality players...WATCH

    We say it can't happen, but magically with the Help of the League President, it will...

    Hell Yeah I still believe this team has the it factor with Yao. They just win. It's nothing new they just win. Look at the Patriots(I hate the pats) they weren't supposed to win but they did because of the team as a whole they were champions . No big names at first, everybody made their names by winning.

    Very sweet.

    There's no room on this wagon for people who are doubting the team before the season starts.

    Lebron Wade and Bosh in what video game can any team beat them!!! I want to believe but you can't double 3 guys. Somebodies got to be open. And Lebron is used to triple teams. The worst part is they are not done. They will clear 7 million more in cap space and who knows what they will get for that. Plus just imagine all of the elder statesmen lining up to help out for the minimum. Their first year they will contend and they will only get better after that. I hate them already!

    Tyson Chandler will help and things on paper don't always come to fruition. But it looks grim. Still I'll play along... I do believe, I do believe, I do, I do, I do! (Wow, that takes a major mindgame in my head)

    Knee-jerk reaction thread.

    Of course we still believe, but you're stretching it and it's not even September.

    I do believe.

    We have the deepest team in the league, with the best center coming back and Morey will get us the needed backup for Yao. OTOH, some teams in the West

    Deep, deep playoff run.

    Good thing we'll have Kevin Martin, Kyle Lowry, and Yao Ming drawing fouls! Those big 3 will be heading to the bench and then it's scrub munching time!!

    Let me give you a realistic response.

    That Heat team is currently composed of FIVE players. I'll take our chance.

    I believe one of the three will get badly hurt and be out for the season

    What are you smoking? The way to beat this team is defense. We need to go back to our core style of play, hustle, heart, and humility. If we have those three qualities we can beat Miami, LA, or any other team.

    Yes,unfortunately quite a few people have unrealistic expectations. I like Yao a lot,but it's so tenuous with him.
