The more comfortable he gets in Miami the less likeable I find him. Last night he referred to his "greatness." I also have learned he has "Witness History" on his legs (to go along with his giant "Chosen 1" tattoo on his back). Toss in "The Decision" and that ridiculous July introduction of the 3 of them, and he's really not doing well in the pr department.

I already can't stand Bosh, a princess down low that says on national TV, "Coach knows he has to meet us half way. He wants to work and we want to chill." Are you kidding me?? One article I read summed up Bosh pretty well: "...the hubris of thinking Chris Bosh was as big time as the bloated numbers he put up in Toronto. Too many people fell for that (including Narc). The Heat needs a healthy Udonis Haslem more than it does a finesse power forward who is none too fond of contact." Very true.

Lebron is a great player, and he and Wade will figure out they can outrun and break anybody in the league, rather than stand around pounding the ball and settling for long jumpers (considering they aren't long range shooters). Their time will come, and they will still whip a lot of booty this year, but it's less exciting to me as a Heat fan for when they do eventually get healthy guys back and get it together as a team for more than a game or 2. I'm still a Heat fan mainly because of Wade, but I can certainly understand why many aren't. I like guys like Haslem and Dorrell Wright a Hell of a lot better than Bosh and LeBron.

On a side note, what's up with the Lakers? They are sucking pretty bad too lately.

I think veteran teams (Lakers, Spurs, Celtics) just don't play with the same sort of urgency in the regular season than they do in the postseason. Especially when the core players have been playing together multiple years.

The Heat don't really have the same excuse, though I have briefly entertained the notion that Riley is "letting" the team lose games in order to take a little bit of the hype off. I don't necessarily think Riley is going to come in and take over for the playoffs, though it's not outside the realm of possibility. I think it's pretty clear that the players don't respect Spoelstra at this point, though.

Lakers'll be fine as long as they stay healthy--their bench is a lit stronger this year. Spurs are gonna poop out by the time march rolls around. celtics look strong, my guess is they'll make the finals again. The heat obviously have potential, but I think they lack the heart or talent outside the big three to win it all. About Bosh--I saw a stat yesterday that they are plus 40 w/ him on the floor but minus 80 w/ wade and lebron on the floor w/o him.

Caught the UMiami v WV game in coral gables today. Fantastic nail biter.
Took my little guy to his first college game. He LOVED it. I have little respect for lebrons biz skills. And no interest to spend 150 to sit close enough to see his tatoos.

I'm not necessarily a heat fan, but I do love to watch them for obvious reasons. To be frank, I had absolutely no problem with Lebron going to Miami. Like everyone else I thought the whole "Decision" **** was pretty hubris and corney to say the least. One of the glearing problems on that team is that they are still trying to figure out there roles. I'm not quite sure neither Lebron nor Wade wants to settle for being Robin. Despite that though, there will be some NBA titles coming to south beach in the near future. Also, Cleveland needs to get over getting dumbed.

From what I've seen, Bosh has beat up on small teams with no frontline (Phoenix) and has been invisible and kicked around against the big boys (Boston). He doesn't even put the slightest bit of intimidation into PG's as Rondo and Jameer Nelson have gone right at, through, and over him. The title contenders all have big boys that can play. Until Haslem got hurt Bosh wasn't even outrebounding Dwayne Wade. How can that even be possible?

WLG, I agree there's little incentive to go all out during the regular season and be worn out and injured later. Any decent team makes the playoffs and the only bonus for burning yourself out during the regular season is to play 4 games home and 3 away during a series. Chicago's 141 regular season wins over 2 seasons becomes more amazing everyday.

Dream, that tattoo is friggin hilarious.
