If the Heat don't win the championship this year, you gotta figure Spolestra is on the hot seat. I still will never understand you bring a once in a lifetime opportunity to your team, pulling perhaps the greatest free agent acquisitions ever, and you keep an inexperienced coach who looks closer to 12 than 40.

If they don't win this year, Riley will blow it all up.

IMO, the only one that would remain is Bron.

Yeah, if the Heat don't win it. Spoelstra is a lock to be gone, and Bosh is as good as done too IMO.

Don't see much of a way they lose this year though.

Nobody wanted to come there. I believe in my heart of hearts that Lebron would be in Cleveland if Bosh would have signed there. He didn't want to though.

Fact is Lebron had a bad supporting cast. He was never going to win a championship being surrounded by a bunch of Titos.
the supporting cast was not bad its just that everyone had to be moved up a peg due to the lack of a second option. if they had a true second option, lebron probably already has a ring

I look at it as in the 2010 Boston series, Lebron was the best player on the floor for either team and the Celtics had players 2-6. It's going to be hard to win a 7 game series against a team like that. It didn't help that Mike Brown was so overmatched. He had no clue how to play the matchups in the playoffs.

LeBron would have won a ring in Cleveland. The NBA has only had 2 multiple time MVP winners NOT win a ring. Nash and Karl Malone. Malone had Jordan (LeBron) in his way. Nash is really the only exception. He was great but not on the level of the other multiple winners. History says LeBron would have won a ring, regardless of where he plays.

Brons supporting cast his last year was just as good as what Dirk had. You take Dirk off that Mavs team and Bron off that Cavs team and the Cavs win that series every time. The team that Bron had his last year was MORE than good enough to win a title. Biggest difference between those two teams was that Dirk put his team on his back and carried them to a title and Bron folded like a cheap lawn chair. What was Brons excuse for his finals performance last year? Was his supporting cast not good enough? That argument is so damn weak, doesnt surprise me that Jordo continues to make it

Anyways, looking forward to the Nugs and Lakers tonight.

A switch flipped for Rondo with about 7 minutes to go in this one. Really turned it on late after a tough start.

Last years Mavs minus Dirk vs Lebron's least Cle team minus Lebron and you would take Cleveland?

Rondo w/ his 8th Triple Double this year... And Rondo now has 8 Triple Doubles in the last 5 postseasons. That's just ONE fewer than rest of the league combined...

Yeah, no way is that supporting cast better than Chandler, Kidd, Terry, Berea and Marion.
