Seriously, who didn't see this coming? 3 players and scrubs, its no secret how you'll beat them. Couple with the fact that they have a bad coach with no direction, who seriously thought they would just start plowing over people out the gate? I'm loving every second of it. He had it easy in Cleveland. He would have had it even more easier in Chicago, but he prefer to party it out in Miami. Things may change with Riley at the helm. And I still think they win 50 games, but 60 isnt even realistic.
The early piling on the Heat and LeBron is ridiculous. It's like a feeding frenzy where haters are feeding off each other.
The Heat will not be successful with Lebron running the point. They need a serviceable point guard who doesn't turn the ball over and is a good passer. Rafer Alston anyone??? LOL.
again, you fail to watch the games. lebron got a triple double. like great players, when your shot is off, you impact in other ways. wade had ZERO impact in the boston game. shooting comes and goes, but you have to be consistent in terms of impacting the game. pierce scored ONE basket v. lebron. watch the game and get back to me. he RARELY if ever went at lebron. he scored most of his points v. stackhouse or off a swtich v. wade/house. again, it's 9 games. he will be very efficient once 82 games is over and you look at his stats. but even at his worse, he's still WAY more efficient than your boy kobe bryant. now he killed his team with his offense last night.
Once the Heat win some more games soon, all the haters will shut up hopefully. They have been waiting for the heat to lose a couple of games. Lebron nearly had his secound triple double in a row, and people are saying he's not playing well etc. Its Wade that played bad, and if you go to the heat Forums, you will see they have quite upset at Wade. The thing is, at least Miami took a risk of getting 3 superstars, instead of many teams, just sitting back, happy with being playoff fodder. In life the people who are most successful, are the ones who take the most risks.
AS one of the previous posters said "He made his bed". I think he is more tired mentally than physically. The season has barely started and he is vey young so 44 minutes in a game against their biggest rival in the East should be embraced, if he were a competitor. This is just another indicator of his weakness mentally, and as othere here pointed out, it is manifested in his complaints about his coach and his playing time. He deserves what he has, as the saying goes "You sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind". Grow up James, be a man.
i'm not saying durant does very little b/c that's untrue. but compared to lebron, durant's responsibilities are nowhere as heavy. i think it will take time before the responsibilities are spread around. right now, lebron still does the scoring, playmaking, rebounding, and defending. the heat need someone who can help alleviate the playmaking. and that could be wade and miller. bosh needs to man up and help with the rebounding. what lebron needs to improve on is his 3pt shot right now. it's way off. making 1-2 of those 3s last night could really change the outcome of the game. the heat will be fine. i think they know everybody (teams and media) is going at them. this period will test whether they can handle the pressure.
http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/holl.../insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics Really, isn't this your favorite stat? BTW, I heard how Bosh would be a beast playing off LeBron by you, did it happen? Or it's the old LeBron made everybody worse?
9 games. relax. i see you stick by the logic that lebron makes people worse. see how haslem did last night. 9-10 for 21 points. bosh just needs to man up. he shot great yesterday. he just didn't get enough attempts b/c KG is a great defender. his problem is defense and rebounding. lebron can't help him with that.
Lebron must have run a train on Wojradouchekie's mom or sister or something. Every article he writes is the same thing.

"At 5-4, Heat know their bashers are rejoicing" http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-reelingheat By TIM REYNOLDS, AP Sports Writer .
"The King" is the only superstar I've ever heard of complain about playing TOO MANY minutes against the biggest rival of his career. It goes beyond the numbers, Lebron-Nut-Huggers. It's about the guy's attitude and how he seems to have fallen into some bad habits like quitting, complaining and deflecting the blame. An attitude like that generally gets worse and not better. I've never been a fan of the guy but even I'm a little surprised that he has become less competitive as he ages.
