probably right around the time Stat comes back and screws up the chemistry

For one, trades?

Who saw the Deron Williams to NJ trade happening?

What if the Blazers decide they want to go gut job and dump Aldridge to the spurs for Stephen Jackson or something?

That's true. I didn't think about that...that's still an anomaly type of thing though. I'm talking about the way things are presently stated

Its a ****ing month into the season, calm down.

You know why threads get bumped ad nauseum here? Because of comments like this.

Well to his credit instead of the usual "I bet you won't bump this!" claim he put his money where his mouth is.

I just dont see the Heat losing for a while unless someone gets hurt...

They're 7 and 3 and Wade has looked like hes continuing to drop off, am I missing something here?


I mean yea, I still see them as favorites, but I'm not understanding the whole forgone conclusion attitude some are taking here.

Actually lately it's been "I don't care if you bump this" and it will always be, King Archivist

Like what? Comments like the top crust of the league is already set? I mean you could list a top 10 teams in September and it will probably look close to the same by May. The NBA isn't "any given year" like the NFL.

What? Yea it is. Orlando went from a top 10 team last year to a bottom 5 by the end of the season. Did anyone expect Dallas to be so mediocre last year? Some, but not popular opinion. That's two stories off the top of my head. Things change quickly in the NBA. Rose could come back 100% and all the sudden the Bulls could be a force and have a legit shot. New York could be for real and make a run at the title.

To act like this is Lebrons league and its all wrapped up is silly. Once again Wade is playing like shit so once again its "Oh, didn't I tell you? I'm super injured. Probably more than anyone ever. I just didn't tell anyone because I'm that much of a solider!", and once again Miamis flaws are very visible with weak PG and C rotations.

Again, they're my favorite as well, but the season is far from some easy prediction, and even further from locked up as you alluded to.

I want to see the Heat matched up against the Sixers. Bynum will average 30 a game. Would Lebron be matched up with Holiday or Turner?

The Harden not getting near the max one specifically was "you can bump this, but I bet you won't."

A. It is pretty much the Heat's title to lose IMO because LeBron is just that good right now.

But I never said anything was wrapped up

Turner would be on Lebron I'd assume. Maybe Thad.

Philly is deep. If you get Bynum back in there healthy and with his head straight they're causing legit problems for Miami.

We watched the same playoffs last year Dre. When Wade wasn't on and Bosh was playing injured/below average, the Heat looked very vulnerable.



You're welcome to your opinion, I don't agree with it. Why are we acting like Lebron came in at some new gear this year? He hasn't done anything to separate himself from the other top players to start this season.
