Why didn't the 2007 Miami Heat repeat?

wade should get props for winning with them though. it was essentially the same exact team as this except switch malone with mourning.

Kobe couldn't win with them and they were even older when they came to miami.

The game after Allstar break happened, Battier owed dude the ring. That year was his best legit shot at MVP too. Oh well, stacking more rings gonna wash that season out of memory

That 2006 team was the biggest surprise to win the title in my opinion next to the 2004 Pistons.

I remember thinking that they are not gonna beat the Mavs. I thought the 2005 team the year before was more talented then the '06 team.

The '06 team was filled with veterans and a young star that went ape shyt in the Finals..

But they celebrated way too much after that title.

I lived in Miami during that time.

They went hard on that South Beach shyt..

:krs:

Mavs should have won that year, they chocked 4 straight games, were up like 12 points with 5 minutes to go or something in GM3 and should have took a 3-0 lead.


plus who can forget the emergence of D-whistle

I'm salty about Eddie Jones tho. Was in Mia from '00-'05, then the year Miami wins he wasn't with the squad, then returned back to the f.a.s. squad in '07. The hoop gods played a mean trick on him.

That Bulls series had to be the most annoying series ever for Heat fan. Them nigguh beat Chicago with jump shoooting. They were getting to paint or nothin. Hinrich had his best series and season ever. Him and Gordon was just pulling up hitting shot after shot. And its not like they were uncontested. I remember thinking outright they gotta go through a dry spell at some point. I bet even Bulls fans were thinking aint no way we going keep hitting these shots all season.

It never happened

bitter fans still crying about it :noah:

Wade had the goat series deal with it :ooh:

Sgaq was washed up

wade was hurt

team was full of aging stars that got there ring and were done Zo, Payton, Antione, J-Wills, it was a team built to win that one year

Pat was feeling himself a lil too much but not adding any new parts

but all ended well had to suck to get the GOAT player to come to south beach

Shane Battier is just ok.

off subject but Eddie Jones got to be one of the most "unlucky" players, doing his thing in LA till Kobe came, then out of Miami to make space for Wade, then...Charlotte?

shaq was getting to old and wade having to go 1v3 especially years later after everybody starting dropping off the roster either moving on or contracts running up. I remember in 09 wade still took his scrub team to the play offs didnt go far but they was in there :myman:
