    OMG, they might not lose a game. It'd be like Mike Miller if Mike Miller remembered how to play basketball.

    This is true but he would have to come off of the bench. He would start in Chicago.

    Ray Allen in MIA would make the almost unbeatable.

    LeBron + Wade slashing........a 3 pt machine in the wings. What do you do if your the defense?

    Are you sure you're looking at the right column? I see $10,000,000 in the 2011/12 section for Ray Allen.

    Marc Stein wrote this way back in July: "Allen and Celts have agreed on two-year deal worth $10 million annually that includes player option in Year 2."

    Hate to say it but well deserved by Miami. They will always have adventage with Wade and James alone. I still hate the decision by LeBron cause I think you gotta be the main guy to be the best, but they are the best in the NBA right now and the road for the championship is open to them which is sad to me because I hate this team...

    But really, how could the C's win? Best player HURT, a lot of injuries besides that. And they are OLD which means they are inconsistent. One night they have fresh legs, the other one they don't.

    Not that this will change your mind or anyone elses, ha, but LeBron apologized for "The Decision" last night and said he knew he couldnt do it alone(against Boston), and the opportunity was once in a lifetime that he couldnt pass up.

    I'm looking right. The site just doesn't have it colored properly. He has an option but says he will use it, per the Boston Globe.

    If a guy leads the team in damn near everything then how is he not the main guy? You dudes kill me. There will be some fun spinning this summer if Miami wins. We should have tipjar prizes for the most creative discreditors.

    I'm not a LeBron fan by any means but he IS the main guy on that team.

    They must all believe that blocked shots is the only statistic that matters. After all, that was the only thing that Wade did better than Lebron this year.

    Scoring: Lebron. Rebounding: Lebron. Assists: Lebron. FG%, 3P%, FT%: Lebron. Steals: Lebron. Guarding the best perimeter player on the other team: usually Lebron.

    you also forget lebron usually guards the other team's best perimeter player or the hot guy.

    vs philly he switched onto jrue holiday or lou will many times when they caught fire.

    this guy does EVERYTHING on both ends for the heat.

    but that's not to deny wade. they simply have the 2 best players in he L right now.

    Dallas can beat the heat. It'll be a 7 game series if its dal vs heat. We'll see how the heat do vs young/mobile big men when they play they bulls. Chandler really changed everything for dallas

    Jeff Who. Lebron isn't the main guy on this team? Come on man.

    Why do you hate the heat? They are fun to watch, they have overcome extreme adversity, they are extremely competitive and passionate, and they have no bench at all. It's not like they are just walking thru everybody. They are fighting and clawing and coming up clutch at the end. It's great basketball, it's great for the NBA, and it's great for the fans. I'm loving it.

    The thing is, Boston knows how to defend Lebron. They give him fits. Now that Boston is out of the way the dude is going to explode. He'll be going nuts in the next two series.

    Congrats to the Heat and props to Lebron in crunch time. Surprised me a little bit -- not beating the Celtics, but the way the fourth quarters are evolving now.

    Spo needs a little love for this also. He's squeezing just enough out of an otherwise inferior supporting cast.

    Watch out. It's not smart to pick against the Heat! I mean didnt you hear, they already won the championship? They've been fitted for their rings, championship parade route already set, their ass was crowned. It's over. They got the next 8 championships in the books. It's over.

    I honestly struggled to name 3 other starter worthy players on their roster.*
