nbablogjob Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) With a Miami Heat practice looking more like the set from the upcoming movie "The Expendables," (it's so natural to draw the parallel) it is easy to say the Heat hit a grand slam in thus summer's free agent bonanza. Critics want to shoot down these monumental acquisitions on the grounds of bad chemistry, but here's an analogy: Say you left the the U.S. for a remote island with no connection to the outside world right after the Heat were put out 4-2 in the Eastern Conference Playoffs by the Boston Celtics. Your conclusion would be "Man, if D-Wade could get just a little help the Heat would be so much better." On your return from the island, you see that the Heat have brought in LBJ, Bosh, and Mike Miller, and your unbiased first instinct would be to say "Well I know where the Larry O'Brian trophy is going to be for the next 6 years." Anyone who pretends that this team won't be great at some point should be clinically declared a psychopath. This is either going to be the greatest NBA team of all time or the most gut wrenching, money down the drain, crushing, miserable, and apocalyptic disappointment in the history of sports. It is a matter of time until Pat Riley tells Spoelstra to scoot down one seat on the bench. Spoelstra has 2 years maximum to win a championship, until the hair-gelled legend takes over. It is going to be very interesting to watch.. http://nbablogjob.blogspot.com/ Edited August 7, 2010 by nbablogjob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
