If one of them is injured, the Heat become a slightly above average team. Are they better than the Celtics? Probably. The Magic? Maybe not. This is a hypefest which could turn into much ado about nothing.
I think that the Celtics are better now. They have Perkins, Garnett, and now Oneil in middle. They play a vicious physical defense that mauled the Cavs and Lebron. The owner was right, he quit after game five because he couldn't pay the physical price that the Celtics dished out. I think that any team with an athletic front line and a deep bench will give them fits. They have no bench, no middle, no cap space. And they just gave up a real power guy with a nice outside touch in Beasley. Big mistake IMHO. They aren't going to win it all this coming year. No way.
LeBron couldn’t win in Cleveland so he bailed. It just means he’s not as good as everyone thinks he is. Hope they finish fourth.
The thing LeBron is gonna find out, is that he wont be the go-to guy in Miami. He is a better athlete and physical specimen than Wade, but if they have 1 shot left to win in a playoff game, I think Wade takes it. Wade has more killer instinct and puts more effort out than LeBron.
How long until the “King”s ego makes him leave so he can be the number 1 somewhere else?
