If LeBron Joins Miami Does it instantly become the most loved, or the most hated team

Mark them down for hate in my book.

Thunder are quickly becoming hardcore fan favorites.

 

I really hope he stays in Cleveland. It would show he's loyal.. the other fans wouldn't be as upset since no one else got him and they never had him in the first place, we wouldn't have to deal with the menage et trois during the season, and we can finally get on with our lives. Whatever happens.. stay away from NY. please

 

Hard to imagine as universally hated as the Lakers ... but close.

 

Hate..... If the Rockets can't do it I hope the Thunder humble them in the Championship.

 

As if the lakers in the finals every year isn't getting extremely old and tired. Excited to see a new sheriff in town and man will they be fun to watch.

 

If Lebron joins Miami, then it kind of tells me that he doesn't want to try to win the championship as the main man. What a shame.

I hope he picks Cleveland or Chicago.

 

Hilarious. The Lakers are a clearly more talented and deep team than Miami, and have the edge of championship experience and coaching. Maybe in a year or two Miami can come close depending on what they do with upcoming MLEs, but anyone who ranks the Heat as a favorite ahead of the Lakers next year - much less a "lock" or "its over" - is on crack.

 

People will hop on the Heat bandwagon immediately.

 

This. Quite hilarious it is some are saying "it's over" if this happens.

 

Forget the Lakers. Neither LeBron, Wade or Bosh can stop Dwight Howard and his band of 3 point shooting merry men.

 

Oh I absolutely agree - personally, I think Miami will be third in the East pecking order behind Orlando and Boston (though Boston won't "turn it on" until later in the season, so regular season may not reflect this) for next year. But I can see at least some debate with those teams.

I was just tossing out the Lakers, because they're an example where no rational person can even make a case where Miami should be superior in 2011.

 

And if that Chris Paul to Orlando trade becomes reality...

 

Maybe we should wait and see what kind of pieces of they can surround these guys with. If they are truly minimum-salary worthy players, then what you said is applicable. But if they convince Haslem-type players to sign there, it'd become very very interesting.

 

Where's the option for "instantly ignored", because that's what will happen to me. I used to watch a few Heat games because of Wade, but I'll skip any Miami vs any team not named Houston next year.

Any success they have would just seem artificial, as if they didn't really work for it. It's like watching a woman's face filled with Botox. Even if it looks nice, there's a bit of stink to it. And I really don't care for that sort of stuff.

 

Would root for the Lakers if a Lakers-Heat Finals occured.

 

if your a clutchfan your supposed to hate every team but the rockets

TOP 5 MOST HATED TEAMS:
1. LAKERS
2. JAZZ
3. MAVS
4. SPURS
5. HEAT (just b/c bosh is there and didnt come to Htown)

 

Law of bandwagonism indicates that they will become the most "loved".

 

Look at Laker fans......say what you want about them , but they are EVERYWHERE!!

The same will happen for the Heat.

More fans than haters.

 

Most hated? Not for me, as long as the lakers fans are around, they will be the most annoying and hated franchise in the nba. Look at the forum now, there is a lot Lebron hate before he even signed with the Heat. Why? Because th lakers and kobe fans are worrying Lebron will get his rings and dethrone the lakers. The lakers fans have no confidence in the own team and Kobe who they claim to be best. The lakers are super stacked in talents yet they worry about Lebron/Wade/Bosh plus nobody, isn't it funny?
Please don't tell the lakers fans are not worried, you can sense it in a lot posts here they are indeed in fear.

Will the Heat be hated, yes, cause there will be a lot bandwagon fans roaming on this forums and will be annoying like the lakers fans here. Plus, everytime you on the TV, read sports news, everywhere you go and read and see, you will hear Lebron and the Heat! That's annoying too! But it will be fun to watch them fail!

 

when Rondo is Torching whoever they got at PG
They Move Wade on him.
Ray allen Torching whoever is at Sg after wad Moves
They move Lebron on him?
Then Paul Torches whoever is at SF? Move bosh on him
KG starts Torching whatever is left at PF???

You can only stretch that taffy so much.
I think Teams with a Good 4th and 5th options
will give Miami all kinds of fits.

even on Defense I think
Is DWade and Lebron's jump enough to be zone busters?

too many questions for Miami to be considered a Favorite
