The Miami Heat are eliminated from playoff contention.

[Biscayne]

Sure there were no championship wins those years... but neither did TMac. But some of you clones wanna put TMac on a pedestal despite him never seeing the 2nd round.
Just ask yourself this question: How many times did Garnett sniff the 2nd round without Paul Pierce or Sam Cassell? Answer=0. Doggie was eliminated in the 1st round the first 8 years of his career. But you all always wanna crown them clowns and sh!t on D-Wade

Yep. In Wades 7(pre-LeBron) years(2003-2010), Wade made it past the 1st round 3 of 7 times. All this 1st round exit nonsense must cease.

 

[Biscayne]

Realistically, Wade should've, could've, would've, had 5rings and 3 Finals MVPs. If Wade doesn't get injured in 2004-2005 ECF, I think Miami advances and beats San Antonio. And if Miami hangs on to that 15pt lead against Dallas in Game2 in 2011.

We'll be very competetive, win total should be somewhere between 41-45 games, might fukk around and make it to the ECF.

[Biscayne]

I'm just giving you the facts.

 

[Hersh]

We'll be decent(41-45 wins), but our bench will likely be mediocre; Spo is a bad coach, and Cleveland; Chicago, and Atlanta are flat out better than us.

i meant 4th -- but with these dudes coming back that will strengthen the bench

 

[Shadow King]

Is Dragic coming back?

Hold up, Wades only mediocre series during that 2011 playoff run was the Chicago series. Wade killed Boston and Philly. Wade averaged 30ppg against Boston that year in the Eastern Conference Semi finals. LBJ averaged 28 in that series. Which validates my earlier point about LeBron not having to be the leading scorer/primary ball handler during the Mavs series for Miami to win the series. All LBJ had to do was meet Wades energy vs Dallas like he did vs Boston.

Bron had to lose that mavs, that was probably the best thing that happened in his career. That offseason woke him up to some degree and he became a better player because of it. I don't know if they win 2 or 3 if that didn't happen.

 

[Ivan Trillwater.]

Heat did that, so hopefully the Cavs wouldn't have to go thru that

... the fanbase isn't Rile'd up, cuz they're all in Cleveland now

Well his needing to lose cost Wade a Final's MVP....

One of the weakest narratives ever pushed, and it's by a network that likes to talk about how awesome the fans in Los Angeles and Boston are .

Probably because McRoberts, Whiteside, and Dragic weren't on the roster to help at all last year, and Wade and Bosh each missed plenty of games in the previous years without the team falling well below .500? Not to mention that they had Deng all year.

Deng + 60 games of Whiteside + 30 games of Dragic <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Lebron

Miami better make the playoffs next year. Take a core of Bosh/Wade, and add an above-average SF, an above-average PG, and an above-average center....they've got to get their serious collapse game on to miss the playoffs with that team.

Whiteside played 48 games but at 24 minutes a game. He was getting few minutes for a long time and our backup center (Birdman) was also injured for over 20 games.

So you got 5 of our starter caliber (Wade, Bosh, Whiteside, Dragic, and Andersen) players missing more than 20 games (At least) with players like McRoberts missing most of the season.

We started multiple games with Shawne Williams and Justin Hamilton, breh.

Those were the best players we had available.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

It must be nice to have a team with 7-8 "starter caliber" guys.

I remember Miami when they only had 3.

In the Lebron era, guys like Joel Anthony, Dexter Pittman, Ronny Turiaf, Udonis Haslem, walking dead Mike Miller, and a slew of guys ready to retire (Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, Shane Battier, and the corpse of Mike Bibby) were starting playoff games. Heck, most of those guys started FINALS games. Bosh missed a huge stretch of the playoffs once, DWade was missing more games nearly every year than he did this year. Yet they went to the Finals every single year. Who was that on?
