Anybody else get the feeling watching today's game between the Heat and the Celtics that we are witnessing the birth of a Miami Heat dynasty? Sorry Kobe fans, but James is without a doubt the best player in the league right now, and as good as some of the young stars like Durant and Rose are, they will be lucky to be even close to the same level as James currently is (which is scary considering he can still improve his game as well) as an all around player. The way that he is playing on both sides of the ball is nothing short of brilliant and when you consider the fact that even when he does have an off night he has guys like Wade and Bosh who are more than capable of picking up the slack for him, especially Wade, it makes him even more dangerous. The way that he just ripped out the Celtics' heart and stomped all over it in Game 5 was phenomenal considering up unil that point he was having a relatively average game. He seemed to just flip a switch and the end and the light finally went off in his head where he realized that there isn't a single player who has a shot in hell at stopping him. Call me crazy, but I think finally getting past the Celtics in the playoffs, and being the one who basically put the nail in their coffin of irrevelenacy (lets be realistic here, the Celtics are done) is going to be the turning point in his career. Add Wade into this equation, who is going to be a top 5 player in the league for at least the next 2-3 years before he starts to experience any sort of drop off, as well as Bosh who, despite all of the shit he gets from pretty much everybody on the planet, including Heat fans, is a star player in his own right and you have basically the Heat team now. A team who relies entirely on 3 players to do everything on the floor and still look like the runaway favourites to win the NBA Championship. Now, think about this. The Heat look like an unstoppable team right now with prety much nothing but the big three. What is the rest of the NBA going to do in 2-3 years when the Heat will no longer have a bench of 100 year olds like Juwan Howard, Zydrunas Ilgauakas, Mike Bibby and Erick Dampier and instead will have added role players like Tyson Chandler's, Kirk Hinrich, Shane Battier, etc... (not saying these exact players, but the types of great role players that all teams need in order to be successfull)? You don't think that players are going to be lining up to sign for the MLE or partial MLE with Miami after they see the Heat win it all on the backs of 3 players? AboveLegit said in the game thread that it felt to him like there was a passing of the torch from one big three to another today, but I will take it one step further and say that we witnessed the beginning of a dynasty today. I am fully ready to eat these words in a few months time if the Heat flame out (no pun intended) and end up not winning it all this season, but I honestly don't see it happening and belive that we are going to witness the first of many championships for the Heat this season.

Meh, I'd rather see someone with fundamentals work in the paint and lead a team to the finals than putting his head down and driving to the basket to draw fouls.

Kobe Bryant had a few great post -game press conferences after the games against the Dallas Mavericks but he lost it after they were swept out of the playoffs . http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/14820e72b5/kobe-byrant-s-post-game-meltdown

Don't forget: CP3 played in OKC when the Hornets moved there for a year.

Got a half O of grand daddy purp for 185, damn suckah.

Lol Cool Runnings never gets old it's so funny. Derice Bannock: Sanka... you dead? Sanka Coffie: Ya, mon. I forgot about that one, that movie was badass. http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm233/lebronze23/wuss.jpg

Man didn't think Miami would even make the NBA Finals this year. But anyways this is what Flash is probably telling everyone in his head right now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYl9yimfERI

Potential? Durant doesn't see the floor, not possess half the passing ability of LeBron James in his rookie year, nevermind now. LBJ in his 2nd year is probably better than Durant will ever be. That comparison is starting to make me sick.

Sennheiser is the way to go. Can't really go wrong.

You live in Sugar Land? Small world.

You took the words right out of my mouth. You already alluded to this in your post, but it still shocks me that a team with virtually 3 players (and the occasional role player stepping up) can dominate a top 3 defense in the league like they did in this series. Game 1: 67 of 99 total pts Game 2: 80 of 102 total pts Game 3: 44 of 81 total pts Game 4: 83 of 98 total pts Game 5: 84 of 97 total pts And this is not even taking into account the number of assists LBJ and Wade rack up as playmakers in the offense.

That sucked. The Celtics just couldn't seal the deal, and missed too many opportunities. I don't deny the fact the the Heat attack the rim a lot more than the Celtics, but some of those calls down the stretch were pretty weak, mainly the call on Kristic. It's not the reason they lost, but there needs to be more consistency. LeBron is finally shutting up a lot of his doubters, making clutch shot after clutch shot. He's the best player in the NBA right now, and it's not even close. Wade played well, but LeBron is still on a totally different level then him right now.

I don't know about you guys, but after watching this series, I have very little confidence in any team other than Miami winning it all this year. Chicago just doesn't have the firepower to beat them, Boozer has played terrible, and their offense is relying to heavily on Rose. Yeah, Memphis has the size advantage and have great perimeter defense, but LBJ and Wade are legends in the making, they will find a way to dominate. Dallas also has the size advantage, but again, LBJ and Wade are just too much. That last minute of this game was all I needed to see in order to believe they will win it all. (This is coming from someone who doubted them all year up until this very moment).

Not that good, i'd rather have Dairy Queen.

I almost hit that road, but then I had Jessica move in with me, so when she's in there watching Vampire Diaries and Grey's Anatomy, my ass is on OTR. "Brandon, do you want to watch my show with me tonight?" "No baby, I have a few members acting up and fighting each other after that damn Jazz/Pistons game. It's crazy...gotta go take care of it."
