LMAO Miami are really 8-5?!?!?

[All Net]

This thread is meaningless. The fact is the Heat have a bright future and are title contenders for the next 6-7 years. Don't know about the OP's team. It's crucial for this team to lose early, so they can learn the flaws and reintegrate. Basic.

Amazing clutch shot by Rudy but in fact, the Grizzlies will never make the NBA finals with the Lakers running the West.

They better learn and improve as their rebounding and inside play is really poor. They need to learn to box out otherwise they won't be close to winning anything.

Speculative.

Cleveland...did beat them last year.

[Noob Saibot]

man Miami is losing all of their games in crunchtime, can they not hold a lead?

[oh the horror]

Come on now, LETS KEEP IT REAL...


8-5 for THIS team and the expectations they had coming in, THUS FAR is NOT good.



There are SEVERAL alarming key points to their games, and glaring weaknesses to this team.

Last year, Cleveland would have won this game by 20 points. Without Wade. AND without Bosh.

I just hope lebron can keep his head up, he's not used to losing this much

[knightfall88]

what's wrong with 8-5?
lots of losing team in the nba right now would love to have that record
8-5 is better than 5-8
and with the way they are playing, that's better than expected

they have no inside presence
offense stagnates at times
confused roles and confused players

really. i'd take that record anytime and be happy about it
until they get a losing record, anytime above .500 i'd be happy

i'd be disappointed if they're actually playing stellar basketball and still have a losing record (and how do the rockets feel? they're not playing bad but they have a losing record)
imo, the heat are playing worse than the rockets
so getting those wins? meh...
i'd take those wins anytime

No point comparing them to the rockets when they made it clear before the season started that they are a championship team.

Dude they just came from back to back games. Wade and Haslem out. Lebron played huge minutes, Barely had any rest.

Cleveland lost IN Memphis last season.

(beating the bulls record)

Has the playoffs even started . Because im sure when the playoff hits it wont be none of these problems

Heat

[Indian guy]

I do think they've been very unclucky in losing as many games as they have. 4 of the 5 losses all went to the last few seconds, where everything that could've gone wrong did. The only game where they were truly outplayed was the game against Boston last week. This team could easily be 11-2 right now.

the comparison is my opinion of how both teams are playing right now and their respective record
the OP is pointing out 8-5 is laughable for this Miami team
i'm just pointing out they're lucky they got 8 wins instead of 8 losses considering how they are playing starting this season
you compare that with the Rockets who isn't nearly as bad as Miami
and you gotta feel for Houston really

Miami on crappy playing = 8 wins 5 losses
Houston playing better than Miami = 3 wins and 9 losses
