easily, lebron isn't even the best player on his team.
Re: A Healthy Miami Heat Without Lebron Would Still Make The NBA Finals
False, the Heat are actually pretty mediocre without Lebron on the floor. Their ceiling would probably be ECF if everything went right, and that's with them playing in an already very weak Eastern Conference.

Re: A Healthy Miami Heat Without Lebron Would Still Make The NBA Finals
The Heat without Lebron would still be a playoff team, but most likely a lower seed (6-8). Bron fills a lot of holes that the team has. The only reason they can start soft ass Chris Bosh at C is because Bron is there to pick up the slack when it comes to rebounding (He leads the team, even while playing out of position at the 4). Outside of Wade, no one else can create their own shot as well as facilitate for others (Bron leads the team in both points and assists), so when Wade is out the team would rely on Norris Cole to be the playmaker on the court :lol
They would suffer pretty noticably defensively, seeing as how Bron is their best defender from the 1-4 positions, and can even play the 5 from time to time.
No way they get past Chicago, Boston, a healthy NY, and especially not Indiana, they're frontline would be decimated by the Pacers.
And for the record, I don't think Bosh is a HOFer. What has he done besides lead his franchise to lottery status and then be a distant third wheel on Lebron/Wade's team?
Re: A Healthy Miami Heat Without Lebron Would Still Make The NBA Finals
of course they would you can even take bosh off the team and they still make the finals. the east is so weak this year might be even weaker than it was in 07 and it was pathetic back then.

[QUOTE=Human Error]I don't think the lineup of Chalmers / Wade / Battier / Haslem / Bosh would beat the Pacers or the Bulls.[/QUOTE]
Maybe eighth seed. Are you kidding me?
Re: A Healthy Miami Heat Without Lebron Would Still Make The NBA Finals
Indiana, NY, and Boston would beat them.
Lebron's rebounding would be highly missed...amongst his obvious other amazing traits: passing, scoring, and versatiliy on defense.
Re: A Healthy Miami Heat Without Lebron Would Still Make The NBA Finals
[QUOTE=lilgodfather1]You obviously don't watch many Heat games. The Heat fall apart at times when LeBron is on the bench. It's actually kind of sad. DWade, and Bosh just can't hold onto a lead, or keep a game in check when LeBron isn't on the court sometimes. It's like playing with the 2009 Cavs where LeBron would go to the bench with a 10 point lead, and come back down 5.[/QUOTE]
It was actually the other way around when Wade went out with foul trouble in the first...
Re: A Healthy Miami Heat Without Lebron Would Still Make The NBA Finals
Against a good defensive team when LeBron is not on the floor the Miami Heat are no better than the Bobcats.

A healthy OP would still be a ******.
