Make no mistake, Spoelstra will take the fall when Miami loses. It can't possibly be Lebron and Wade's fault. They will probably go through a new coach every season until and unless they win one.
Phil in 2012. Calling it now. Gonna take 2 more years for Heat to get legit role players. His knees and back will be fine by then.

MIA are worthy foes.... Lebron and Wade cannot be underestimated.
they can easily win game 2.
Only thing is ,.. i think CHI would win game 3 in MIA
just a sense about CHI , that they won't lose 2 in a row to anyone.
this series totally relies on hard CHI wants to defend. If CHI's stays focussed and hungry , and doesn't relent, MIA will not win this series.
Most will think this series hinges solely on Rose , Wade, Lebron.
CHI's advantage is that when they go through cold spells in scoring, they can offset it with incredible defensive intensity..
i just don't think MIA defends as well as CHI , as a team. they just seem to run better defensive patterns , and it's funny how CHI are 4-0 vs MIA this year, and they out-rebounded MIA 4-0 in those 4 games ....coincidence huh.
MIA will win a game or 2 vs CHI , i think .....
but now with MIA needing 4 of the next 6 , they get a different pressure put on them. they are now BEHIND in a series , they DON'T have home court. any weaknesses they have as a team, any cracks , will become fissures if CHI's defence gets in the zone.
suppose they have a 9 pt loss in game 2, with another 2H fadeout ? MIA then needs to get 4 of the next 5 .
who is the pressure on going to MIA for game 3?
have we seen MIA under this pressure ?

Lebron will always be that coward who needed Wade to win championships.
Wade needed Lebron which is why he made him come to Miami. Wade couldn't have won without Shaq and Lebron played his best all yar and the rest of Cleveland bench couldn't produce in the playoffs. Lebron made the right choice leaving. At 22 years old he led his team to the final with a bunch of scrubs, which shows how good he really is. The problem is not gonna be Lebron or Wade this series but the bench. This series will be won or lost by the production of role players.

cf Jordan won with marginal role players + Pippen the hallmark of a Champion belies on his ability to make marginal role players tenacious in said situations, LJ and DW have yet to elevate to that status thereof

I agree. There's no particular reason Lebron can't win a title. He can in the right situation. But it takes a team. Personally I think Riley get too much of a pass for the team he put together. He was handed Lebron and Bosh and he did a shitty job of filling out the right role players around them. Wasted what little extra dollars they had signing Mike Miller, when they needed help on the interior. He thought good players would just line up to join them for a chance to win a ring.

no, it's because NOW lebron and wade are playing on the same team, whereas before they had to take on boston alone with a bunch of nobodies. look at lebron's team in cleveland when he was there - reg season paper tigers. look at wade's team last yr, a bunch of nobodies with him
the celtics were also hurt by rondo's ineffectiveness due to the elbow and not having kendrick perkins which some of us (ahem me especially) screamed was a bad trade to the OKC thunder right when it happened
Agreed.

Lebron is great but there is a difference between being the best player in the league and the most talented. Lebron in clearly the most talented player in the league.

Oh my god. Yes. Yes. Yes.
I made this comparison in a thread a while back and got flamed. Luc Longely, Jed Buechler, come on.
