The other teams have a lot to prove (except Boston). Miami is the team to beat and have proven to turn it up in the playoffs when their backs are against the wall.
of course the rest of the east has a lot to prove. which is why miami is still the obvious favorites. but 6-0 doesnt mean they will be 9-0. lakers won 2 straight titles and were 6-0 against the west, i guess 7-0 against the west. they were proven champions. but guess what, the mavericks stood a chance against them. and they wiped the floor with them.
i guess op feels if he says it enough or makes enough of the same threads, it will happen.

The Heat can lose and I don't take any team lightly. I'm a nervous wreck every series. It has not come easy to the Heat at all, which is why I don't get why people discredit their title run.
I think people judge the entire Heat fan base by a couple of people here (where many are not even Heat fans they are LeBron stans).
Not every Heat fan is saying hop on the championship cruise. A lot of people I know have been around for a long time. We're not all trolls.

The Heat had one of the weakest runs to the title in NBA history.

They went down 2-1 against the Pacers and had to beat them 3 times in a row on their own home floor. They are a tough home team. Indiana is a big basketball state.
They went down 3-2 against the Celtics and they had to beat Boston on their own home floor (odds and history against them), and then in a tough game 7.
They went down 0-1 to OKC, and had to win to the 2nd game or face another letdown in the Finals.
Far from easy, especially without Bosh and Wade on one knee

It shows their heart, but also their star power. LeBron, and Wade in some games, carried the team to the Finals, then the shooters were red hot in the Finals.

So you act like the Heat triumphed with injuries, when they barely beat a Celtics team in 7 games who lost two guys to heart surgery, their best defender to double shoulder surgery, and Ray Allen was playing on two bad ankles?

Spurs- Regular season team until proven otherwise.
If spurs made the final against the Heat, Spurs win. Better coach and clutch players in Parker Duncan and Ginobili. Heat would not be able to contain Duncan at all.

Only in ISH land where they determine championships by who has the best rating on NBA2K
And the fools that think Lebron is about to be as dominant as Shaq or MJ, because he can fill a stat sheet. Like it or not, there are a number of players that can go into a series and dominate a series in their own way. Nobody feels defeated because Lebron walked in the gym. In large because he aint a killer
