Default Dear Miami Heat,

You are not very good at this basketball thing.

Sincerely,

Will

It's not about winning, it's about making $$$$$$.

But if they start winning, more people will come to games which means more $$$$$

The 76ers have made a decent turn around this season

I can't wait until they lose in the playoffs.

It's going to be better than porn.

I was laughing earlier when I went to ESPN.com and they had a main article saying something along the lines of "The Heat are showing their dominance." And the live score right next to it showed them down by four.

That will be sweet. A sweep in the first round would be great.

Don't bet on it. And how can you say they aren't very good? 43-18 in the East, two games behind Boston. That's a better record than the Lakers. So are you saying the Lakers aren't very good either? You poor misguided soul. The Heat will win the East and take the Finals four games to three over San Antonio.

yet, they are 0-5 vs. the other top teams in the east and have twice blown 20+ point leads to Orlando.

they don't even have 5 quality starters. the bench blows.

Here's the Heat's problem, plain and simple....

Too much offense and no defense

Everybody wants to score and nobody is going after the ball at the basket.
Have to play both sides to win ( or you blow a 24 point lead )

You have to play at least a few seconds of defense before you run to the other end

LOL. You're impressed because a team of All-Stars is beating up on the sisters of the poor?

If you want to talk about records/numbers, then fine:

They have a LOSING record against teams over .500

14-16

They have a LOSING record against the Top 8 teams in each conference

13-15

They are 0-5 against their top 2 competitors in the East (Boston & Chicago)

BUT the reality is, what happens on court is what matters. Have you actually been WATCHING them? Why point to their record and not to the on-court product? What is it about their game that inspires confidence in you?

They are AWFUL in close games. They are AWFUL at keeping leads. They are AWFUL in the offensive post game. They are AWFUL against good teams.

No top team has a worse record against stiff competition, or has lost so many close games.

We will see............. and BTW, the record is a direct result of the "on-court product". That and Dwayne Wade torching sisters of the poor defenses.
