2010-11 NBA Playoffs / Finals

[Mike-Dub]

Miami will come back from this and win a few titles.

Two years in a row now that LeBron has struggled in big games. Strange. He was so good in big games in the years prior to that. Leading the Cavs over Detroit and to the Finals. Battling the Celtics valiantly the next year. A terrific performance against Orlando the year after.

I think he'll recover from this and go on to have some great performances in the future.

He was great against us and the Bulls this year.

Jackson basically blaming the "chips" the other guys instead of just stating what everyone knows.

Bosh is not a third banana and is a bad fit there

Wade and Lebron are great front runners but bad at coming back.

Wade and Lebron are way too individualized on offense and "me first" to possibly thrive on the same team.

You're acting like they have to blow it up Nick.  Depending on what the new CBA looks like if it is like the one we currently have sign a big or a point with the MLE and a decent pg and they'll be in great shape for another run unfortunately.

I think they are flawed.

Bosh doesn't have championship talent or a championship heart.

Wade and Lebron are just way too selfish offensively to win it all no matter who you add. Add a quality PG and that's a waste because in the end, Lebron and Wade are co-PGs playing other positions. Add another quality big man and they are never gonna see the rock because Wade and Lebron want it so much.

I just think the whole Big Three without the sacrifice doesn't work. They just aren't players that have sacrifice in their vocabulary.

The Heat won't blow it up but I don't see them putting it all together for a ring because after they fail again next year, heck, maybe this off season, the finger pointing will start and the chemistry will never work. The egos are out of control. They don't understand team ball.

I hope they don't blow it up. They will get close and lose it every year and nothing would make me happier.

Maybe the more times LeBron fails, the harder it will be for him to break through...the more it will play with his head.

I hope you're right and I know one thing that would make me happier.  The Celtics knocking them off year after year then taking down LA.

Compare Dallas' celebrations after they have won the championship and the hugs and the hoopla that followed after the Heat beat the Celtics.

I would agree with this... although in down years they could win the NBA as presently constituted. Asides from Dallas, who could have beat them this year (and us healthy)? Dallas is only getting older. As I said in my previous post hopefully the new CBA will make things harder for them...

The people in Bristol, Connecticut must be in a collective depression over this loss.

Nah...  Now they have the "Miami Heat Seeking Redemption" story to pimp all next year.  They'll find some way to spin this into even more Heat coverage.

[JSD]

Miami will probably win MULTIPLE titles but I'm happy it didn't happen this season and hope it never does.

With so many close games in this series, you have to wonder if the outcome would of been different if Miami had a better coach.  Carlisle made some great adjustments and totally out coached Spoelestra (which was to be expected).
