Miami Heat Troubles..?

**Ross.Virant** · 11-25-2010, 12:38 AM

Is this just a slow start for Miami Heat, with a new team still trying to Mesh?

Or is it one of those classic Teams that look Excellent on Paper, but just will not ever amount to a championship on the Floor?

Many are starting to talk, and doubt this Miami Heat team. I don't think anyone expected this kind of start for this team.
What Do you think?

9 times out of 10 an NBA team; or should I say a successful NBA team is put together like pieces of a puzzle. Not necessarily packing the roster with the most possible talent or best stats. This is NOT NBA LIVE, or a Video Game!

This Miami Heat team on the other hand- Was constructed based on grabbing and signing the most Raw talent, and big name players; while Assuming that Player's of Such names, Stature and magnitude Must work. Right..?

I don't think this is what Many expected.. though I must agree It is VERY hard to believe this team's struggles, after Watching Lebron James Basically single-handedly carry a team the league's elite playoff teams for the last 5 straight season's. Also Watching D. Wade win 2 prior championships only 4 years before this season (of course with SHAQ), and last couple season's Wade Willed a pretty much Talentless Roster into a decent playoff team. Also throwing in the mix was Toronto's Franchise player, Perennial All-Star, and Go to guy for the last 7 years, Chris Bosh.
How could Lebron do so well in Cleveland, then now adding a D. Wade and Bosh to the Mix, things suddenly arent so Sweet.
WAS Cleveland, a better team and better fit for Lebron, than Everyone thought?
Will the Heat Come out of this Slump, and use this as a learning Stage?
Do the Heat have Major MAJOR Serious Issues to addresss?
Were these "Big 3" Overrated, because of the past teams, rosters, and their marketability? (Monta Ellis has Great Stats, bad team though).
What do you think?

Slow... Very Slow Start..
But It's a NEW Team. Chemistry Will Take A Little Time..

I Still Believe They Will Be Fine

I am also thinking that they will be fine, and will get better each week. As long as there are no locker room problems etc. I think they thought it was going to be easy and come together a lot quicker. But they are gonna have to put in the work, I don't think they realized that.
It is Still Pretty early, but Still the team's woes are surprising A lot of people.

The Heat are off to a very slow start. 8-7 record through the first 15 games is awful start when some predicted undefeated season. really? Pat Riley looks likley to take over as head coach if Spolstra can't fix them.
Stan Van Gundy's 70 win season prediction is a joke now! They might be lucky to win 60 this year the way they are playing.
The games they have lost this year they are getting killed in the paint(Millsap, Shaq and recently Zach Randolph).
And lastly they just lost Haslem possibly for the season. Bosh is finally coming around but he seems soft as a defender to me although I didn't see much of him in Toronto.

**Ross.Virant** · 11-25-2010, 02:48 AM

Yea, Im Thinkin they Will have a Hard time winning 60 games now too. Unless one day it clicks for them and they figure out how to win, and dominate. This team is really wishy washy right now, they have lost to some pretty bad teams.
Right now they are playing like a team that we talk about if they are going to make the playoffs or not? One of those teeter totter teams.
they should get better, and winning % should improve. Just how long will this take.
Rumors of locker room problems Can Completely Ruin a team though.. No matter how good they are.
Also, If some BAd Karma or luck were to happen, I could see it happening to this team, I thought that ever since the decision. After Dan Gilbert's Letter, Just got a bad feeling about the injuries the heat may face, as we already have seen some injuries and tweaks to players So so early on Already. Plus this is a really older team.

I think it's simply there just trying to get used to eachother ("mesh together")..
Wouldn't expect a championship this season or next season though!

**Ross.Virant** · 11-25-2010, 03:22 AM

everyone who beieved thought the champinship wuld happen this year, I did Initially. But now maybe not.

I think we should not judge until the 40-50 Gam MArk in the season,
The Lakers Last year didnt have teh best record, But Started to play in the Playoffs liek a champion Same with Boston.
Giv em 20-30 more games. IF they seuck then ... Something needs to change.

LeBron James has made his Wade a worse player..I don't blame the players, this is all on LeBron, because he ALWAYS must have the ball in his hands and do his dribble dribble dribble for 20 seconds then pass it off to someone else for a bad shot thing.
