Kinda made me a little sad seeing how dominant they all were. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE having them all here - just weird seeing them as individuals these days I guess.
Lebron isn't dominate anymore? I'm pretty sure this was his most dominate season and post-season he has ever had.

Re: 2012 NBA Champions!

Was thinking more along the lines of Bosh and Wade, as they are #2 and #3 respectively - where they used to be clear #1's.

Lebron is more efficient, calculated and strategic now. He's not as explosive and "highlight worthy" as he used to be. That being said, he still has plenty of sick highlights.

Re: 2012 NBA Champions!

Yeah his explosiveness settled down a tad the last season he was with the Cavs. I attribute it more to the weight he put on than age. He did clearly look lighter this year, which I think showed more in his quickness rather than leaping ability.



While I'm at it, here's another one we all got a kick out of watching when imagining the possibilities. More from Bosh we haven't seen much of here.

EDIT: Thinking about it, I really believe Bosh represents the largest potential for the growth of this team. For one, like LeBron he's just entering his prime. Unlike James, though, we still haven't seen Bosh get comfortable enough to settle into a steady role as the third option. We've seen hints of it during both playoffs, but it remains to be seen throughout a regular season. This represents optimism for me for one because he's likely even closer to finding that comfortable niche as the 3rd option, and yet we won a championship with things still a bit chaotic. But also because I think if Wade doesn't bounce back to being the player we think of him as, Bosh can easily step into the second option role (where he's shown greater efficacy) while Dwyane finds a role he'd in that situation be more capable of excelling in. Might even balance out the team a bit better if and when it comes to that.

Re: 2012 NBA Champions!

Bosh should be the second option going forward with this team. Wade is redundant and takes away from LeBron's game when he's forcing things. He's a more talented player than Bosh, but for the good of the team he needs to play a complimentary slasher role.

It doesn't even work like that. Nobody goes out there to be specifically a #2 or a #3. Everyone just has to be productive in their role and Bosh will never contribute enough to make him more valuable than Wade.

Re: 2012 NBA Champions!

Not in the short term but I wouldn't be surprised to see Wade becoming a 6th man type of player in 3 years (hopefully, the big 3 will still be together in 3 years)

Re: 2012 NBA Champions!

Wade will only be 33 in 3 years time. While he has lost a step, if he can hone his jumper back to 2008-2009 levels - he's got a lot of mileage left.

He should still be putting up 20/5/5 kinda lines for a fair few years to come.

Re: 2012 NBA Champions!

Wade was on Jay Leno tonight

http://www.3030fm.com/2012/07/27/vid...12-dwyanewade/

Havent watched Leno in forever. Painful to sit through his interviews.

Re: 2012 NBA Champions!



I knew this was coming on, switched to NBC 5+ mins after it started to avoid as much Jay as possible, couldn't stand even 3/4ths of a joke in his monologue, switched back to what I was watching with the intent of going back in a few minutes, forgot.

Dwyane had to have the white microphone with the white shirt.

My expectations for Leno are so low I didn't even notice if it was that bad of an interview.

I knew Dwyane banned Gabrielle from courtside seats, never heard why. Pretty funny that a ref had to go to Dwyane and beg him to make her stop.

Re: 2012 NBA Champions!

Forgot to also mention: also awesome to hear little Zaire Wade is a better baller than pops at the same age. He's definitely got Dwyane's wingspan.

Is there any possible way to circumvent the draft process? Maybe we can have Zaire and Trey Mourning homeschooled from now on, secretly hone their games (eventually playing pickup ball with Heat players when developed enough), then enter their names into the draft when they're 19 whilst scouts know nothing about their abilities. Maybe we should wait until they're both old enough to do it the same year, that way no one sees it coming for the younger Zaire.

Zaire Wade/Trey Mourning/Justin Hamilton. Future Big 3.

Of course at some point we must acquire Tim Jr.

Re: 2012 NBA Champions!

Had a dream we traded Rio and the new team that got him started touting a Big 3, with him included. Can we make him part of our BIG 5??

Re: 2012 NBA Champions!



Of course this is how Battier is using his championship moment. Hopefully he goes easy on the margaritas and doesn't come back Antoine Walker-style.
