For me the Heat are overrated. They are beating teams to get out of the East and to get rings that are either:
A) Old and at the end of their runs (Boston, San Antonio)
or
B) Young and inexperienced (OKC)
The last team they played that was somewhat in their prime still, was Dallas -to whom they lost.
Forget about KG, Pierce and Ray in their prime. The '08 team that crushed the Lakers, would absolutely maul Miami these last two years.
KG: already 31 / 32
Ray: already 30/31
Pierce: already 29 / 30
Whatever their ages were, they were not all still considered in their prime - they were just past it, and all had a tone of mileage on them, as well, for their ages.
The you have a young Center in Perkins and a very inexperienced point guard in Rondo.
This year and last year, Boston beats Miami 4-1, 4-2...both years.
Miami could barely get past Boston the last two years when KG, Pierce and Ray were all 34, 35+ and our team each year was already beat to crap.
