did you forget that miami was down in a lot of their series over the past two years

lets be real ph33ph33

miami played like immature biotches each time. all of their wounds until the finals were self-inflicted. wade's bitchassness, spo's powerlessness, bosh's skirt, lbj's deference, lol bench, etc

fortunately, they played in the east until they reached the finals

I'm pretty resigned to the fact that the Heat are probably going to threepeat.

I just hope that somehow LeBron will feel some sort of interest in the challenge of going back to Cleveland to bring them a ring rather than go for the 4peat and lock himself into the Heat long term.

who will stop them next year?

Uhhm let's see

Indiana

Chicago

Knicks

Or retooled boston.

The last time a team tried winning their third championship thru a fourth route to the finals they got swept. That wear and tear of those back to back to backs will eventually catch up to miami. You can count on that.

I think this is wrong. LA won in 2001, 2002 and 2004. You are also leaving out that Spurs beat Lakers in 1999 and 2003.

Nope

At the top of a zone so Marion and Chandler could both be ready to help as only they could as a part of some of the most mobile help defense the league has seen in a while...

also, Fisher has been dead for the past 4 years

I would say the NBA really needs to take the current rash of injuries seriously and look at common denominators as to what is causing them. I don't remember ever seeing anything as I have seen the past few years in regards to injuries in the past. You never saw guys dropping like flies to serious injury back in the 90s.

Maybe its the shoes like someone posted a few months back. Maybe its the exercise regimen players are put through now a days to maximize certain aspects of their bodies.. Who knows.. But someone should find out.

Since we´ve played 82 games like forever, and since star players have averaged more minutes in the past, i have to say that weight lifting is the enemy. Players are bigger and stronger, and it seems like they are pushing it too hard on the physical side, which ends up with them breaking down too often.

Boston isn't going to be retooled to compete with them right away. Chicago maybe,lets see how Rose comes back.

That same zone wasn't doing nothing on Wade who averaged like 30 a game that series. Lebron just froze up that series, especially in the fourth quarters. It wasn't the brilliant defense.


Maybe Lebron freezes up against LA, maybe he doesn't. But that was some jedi mind trick, not the zone that stopped him.

All you're saying is backing up my point. The teams Miami struggled with, they only had to play once in 3 years due to injuries. Asterisk. Title.

It's also saying a lot that in these 'asterisk' years that the Lakers have been a complete embarrassment, so thanks for further emphasizing that

...who gives a shit about Wade? The defense was setup to fuck Bron and Bron alone and it barely worked.

He was mindfucked because of the D. Why am I responding? Fuck the Lakers.
 
This thread took a predictable turn. Trolls out in full force. It's so stupid because many think OKC would be an easier matchup for the heat than other western teams.

That's like saying Detroit or LA was a complete embarrassment in 92 and 93...Teams get old dude. Their time passes. Magic Lakers won in 80 and 88. Jordan Bulls in 91 and 98, Kobe Lakers in 2000 and 2010. You can't dominate for more than a decade before you start losing in the second round.


LA had the 2nd and 3rd best record in the West in 2011 and 2012. That's how teams fall off after their time is done.
 
Rose aint stopping shit with his phantom pain

I think the Harden, Durant, Westbrook trio was too talented to lose to Miami three times in a row, but that's out the window now.

No other team has the talent. Threepeat incoming.

Somebody should go ahead and make a list of all the teams in NBA history who have lost their 2nd best player to injury during the playoffs and went on to win the title.

Magic's rookie year immediately comes to mind
 
I'm not going to sit here and act like YNB getting hurt is the reason the Heat are going to take the chip again. They've been on their way to the title since Kobe got hurt.

Besides, all lockout years are asterisk titles. You've been around NBA GAF to know that. What Miami did last season by beating a healthy Indiana, Healthy Boston, and Healthy OKC while missing Bosh for a while was remarkable. You needed heroic performances by Bron and Wade in Indiana and Boston to pull off that chip.



Compared to that, this year though is a farce and you know it.

Injuries will stop them eventually. Like i said, you don't go to three straight finals without breaking down some bodies. Those minutes will eventually take there toll. See pau/kobe and lakers after third trip.

Miami would have regardless. Kobe could be 100 percent 28 year old Kobe and the Heat would still shit on the Lakers.

The Lakers history is proof that a threepeat can happen for the Heat.

They went through 3 straight finals and didn't break down until the 4th playoff run where they collapsed. Also, Pau and Kobe played in the olympics as big contributers which added to the fatigue. LeBron is unbreakable, younger, and nobody else from the Heat played in the Olympics.

The Lakers won the chip in their third attempt.

Also, the Heat are deep. They can lose either of LeBron and Wade and still chip.

I think he means next season it will catch up with them like it did for Lakers in 2003 and 2011

And no they cannot lose Lebron and chip. Not at all.

That would be our fourth attempt. I can't recall the last team to go to four finals in a row, so just getting there will be tough. Dallas screwed everything up this should have been our three peat.

Next year I expect something to go wrong, probably an injury. And if lebron is out there is no chance we win anything.

Did everyone forget staying healthy is part of winning a title??? Enough with the * bs
Click to expand...

Exactly. Staying healthy is part of it. Hell, if Dirk didn't miss 27 games the Mavs would be playing right now instead of Houston or LA. But fact of the matter is injuries are part of it, and the better teams have a bench that can handle it, or at least make the water from gushing out to only trickle out.

Enough * talk. Except for any 2006 Heat * talk. Please, continue with those discussions.
