Is Miami REALLY The Worst Champion Ever?

[The White T-mac]

I have heard that Miami is the worst champion ever. I am not disagreeing, but I am not agreeing either. Maybe they arent the worst, but they really do get way more calls than anybody else would. I mean, didn't D-Wade get 97 FT attempts in 6 games? Star treatment is really a sucky ass idea. Stern skrewed that one up.

It's not Wade fault this league is so femine now. I'm sick of the superstar calls too but I can't blame Wade for them he's just taking advantage of it like any other player would do. They won it all so you got to give them their props.

I'm not giving them credit for anything... I'm tired of these horrible refs, and if the pistons won and I knew we got helped the whole playoffs I would admit it too. I would celebrate but I would admit we were helped as well. And I just can't believe how ignorant SOME heat fans were denying the fact that they were helped.

Actually, he did get fouled here. When he was driving in the lane, I choked on some sunflower seeds and I accidentally spit some to the tv screen. Obviously he felt that one and the refs saw that. I'm sorry.



You see Wade blinking? Later he would be grimacing or wincing in pain and there's a foul for sure. Somehow or sometime during the Heat-Bulls series to the Heat - Nets series to the Heat - Pistons series. Sometimes the fouls pile up and get carried over to the next series. By the time the Heat faced the Pistons, the Pistons are already in penalty so Wade automatically gets 2 on the free throw line.

People are being to hard on the heat. In some ways they were a product of officiating yet in other ways they just simply beat Dallas.

Remember 2-0, next thing u know its 4-2.

[Caspiansmith]

I am predicting that Miami Heat will go into the Playoffs.
People are so blinded by the fact that heat making the worst franchise record; 16-57 last year.
But wake up! if we look at the rooster
PG: Chris Quinn / Mario Chalmers
--> In my opinion, we are quite weak at PG position. Sorry. not quite weak but extremely weak. That's why D-wade have to also concentrate on getting his team mates involved
SG: D-wade
--> No need to say. He is back! LOL He is back. If you compare D-wade's play and any other SG, you will see why D-wade is one of the best in the league
SF: Shawn Marion
--> He is alright player. If Heat obtains Nash type PG, a player who will just look for assist, then this player shines! Hope Chalmers, the new rookie change his style of play and improve upon his assists. Don't get me wrong. He is above average when is playing well.
PF: Michael Beasley
--> My guess is that he is going to win the rookie of the year. Yea, I know that Bulls picked Derrik Rose, but to be honest, we needed a good PF. He is still a rookie but he is indeed shining. He is well-rounded PF, one thing we know for sure that he is only going to improve not degrade. I have my fingers crossed on him
C: Ugadonis Haslem
--> Don't get me going. Haslem is good player, but he lacks rebound and height. I must emphasise, Heat is lacking height. We need a good centre. Haslem is better PF, but you know we got MB. Hopefully, we get new centre. Sorry to say this, but Haslem gotta go.....

* One more thing, Heat bench is weak. We need to ease up on cap and get some freshes, we need youngsters to take over. Well... we are getting there.

Miami was solid when they won it. The NBA may have been down that year, but I wouldn't call them the worst champion ever. It's all opinion.

[paulmer]

i think miami is not, because they manage to reach the post season prior to the year after they won the championship. Unlike the Chicagio Bulls of 98-99 Season

[ripinfamous]

To say that Miami got help is unfair. Yes he does get superstar calls and so does Lebron and Kobe. The difference? Wade drives to the basketball about twice as much and knows how to draw contact better than those guys. Its part of his strategy. Foul trouble and free throws can beat a team on any given night. Instead of others bashing Wade they should join him and by doing so create a new curve that wont allow stars to get so many calls.

I hate superstar calls. Because what ends up happening is Wade gets the calls and to balance it out the refs wont call fouls for Michael Beasley or Chalmers. They get banged up when they hit the lane and rarely gets calls. The NBA should be about nameless foul, if there is contact it shouldnt matter who u are, blow the whistle!

[c-liffy]

i would rather see miami win than san antone thats gotta be the worse, and talk about ticky tack fouls tim duncan has to be the softest center ever. i was so glad to see joey throw him out of that game. wuss. dwayne wade wanted that ring more than anybody else on the court. well and alonzo.

[that.tall.guy]

the season after winning the championship miami were shocking.
but now that dwayne wade is 100% fit, i think they on a on roll.
michael beasley is still young, wait for him to develop his game and he will be a walking double double.
jamarion moon looks like his doing alright and mario chalmers has been a great pick up.
miami could easily knock off the pistons, chicago and the 76ers. but there is no way i can see them knocking off atlanta or the cavs.

[robrey471]

They need to re construct their team... Wade is shouldering all the scoring for miami.. If they found a good role player then I think Miami will be a contender again.

[dwoo]

we deffo need to re-structure, we need a good pg to help wade shoulder some of the responsibility. we've got an inexperienced team who are hopefully going to get better (esp beasley) and need to do something, cos nothing much is coming out of the draft imo, and with wade a free agent next summer, we need to do something to enthuse him

[jsn4love]

Miami get better now because wade is awesome!

[RoboticSurgery]

yes
