1. Wade - People are saying this is Wade's team and I couldn't agree more.

2. LeBron - He'll prove to be the leader of this team and take the role away for Wade.

3. 4 - Just a gut feeling, I guess.

4. Lakers - I just reckon the Lakers will win it all this season.

5. No - I don't think he will take over unless somehow the Heat get around 15 or so lossess before the all-star break.

6. Lack of size in frontcourt - I don't think they have any inside threats to intimadate the Lakers or any other team with a dominant 4 or 5, mostly offensively.

7. Melo, Amare and CP3 - I just think this trio is more well balanced. You have the best PG in the league, one of the best scorers in the league and I guess one of the most versatile power forward in the league. Although the Miami trio does stomp on these guys on defense.

8. No - Nah, I'll probably be cheering for the Thunder or Lakers.

9. Yes - Personally, I think it was quite unecessary and even disrespectful. A tv program wasn't needed to announce what team you'll be signing with, especially when it seemed like you only did it to rub it in your previous team's faces.

10. Yes - It would certainly be quite funny.

1. Wade - It's his team

2. Wade - ...It's still HIS team

3. 3 - They are too good not be a dynasty

4. Lakers - will be answered shortly

5. Yes - Lol, we all know it

6. Lack of chemistry - thats what it comes down to on the grand stage, reason why Argentina can beat the world's greatest chemistry > talent any day, Lakers have a lot more of the former, a little less of the latter

7. Melo, CP3, Amar'e - I just feel their game's would flow more together. LeBron and Wade are both ball dominators, CP3 is the only ball dominator in the second trio.

8. No - [expletive] NO

9. Yes - lol B let it go

10. Yes - At least I certainly hope so, will only further prove they are douches.

 

Fun poll, we should do this more often

Who is considered the leader of this team today?

 

Who do I consider to be the leader? Dwyane Wade. Who is considered to be the leader by the general public? Probably LeBron.

 

After the upcoming season ends, who will be considered the leader?

 

Whoever wins Finals MVP, which I believe will be Dwyane Wade. If they somehow fail, I will still consider it to be Wade, but the general public may consider the two time MVP depending on who performs better throughout the season and the playoffs.

 

Six seasons, how many championships?

 

If healthy, there's a chance they could very well win all six. As for a solid prediction from me, I'll say 5 for now since there could be injuries, or perhaps another organization could build a better team within that time, or some other random possibility that prevents the Heat from continuing to win championships.

 

Who will knock off the Heat in the 2011 Playoffs?

 

Nobody.

 

Will Pat Riley end up coaching the Heat before season's end?

 

I have faith in Spoelstra. He's a very good coach and has the capabilities to pull through.

 

If the Heat fail to win it all this season, what will be the biggest reason why?

 

Injuries.

 

Which trio would be better?

 

I'll take the trio with 2 of the top 3 players.

 

In your opinion, was "The Decision" disrespectful and unnecessary?

 

Disrespectful by interpretation of the public and the Cavs organization? Yes. Disrespectful by LeBron's intention? Perhaps. If so, then "The Decision" was necessary to what LeBron was trying to accomplish (and as a side-thought, I'd like to know the reasons behind his intention if it was in fact intentional). If not, then the hour special was unnecessary, other than ESPN profiting from its views.

 

Will the Heat piss off Joakim Noah by dancing around and laughing during games?

 

Will the Heat dance to piss off Noah? I don't know. Would Noah be pissed off by it? I really don't know. Will the Heat dance and laugh and successfully piss off Noah? I really don't [expletive]ing know.

Who is considered the leader of this team today?

I chose Wade but I'd say that they all are in their own right. I'd also throw in Udonis Haslem.

 

After the upcoming season ends, who will be considered the leader?

Same as above.

 

Six seasons, how many championships?

 

If they stay healthy I'd say a minimum of 4. If they do it this year, I think that number increases. They're just too talented not to win and these guys know how to play with one another. They're close friends and have made it clear its all about winning. The stats will take care of themselves, just win.

 

Who will knock off the Heat in the 2011 Playoffs?

 

Nobody. Only team with a shot would be LA or Boston.

 

Will Pat Riley end up coaching the Heat before season's end?

 

Nope, Spo has the backing of the big 3, especially Wade.

 

If the Heat fail to win it all this season, what will be the biggest reason why?

 

Injuries.

 

Which trio would be better?

 

I'll take ours. People underrate Wade and LeBron's passing ability. They're both incredible playmakers and now they have each other to play off of. Not to mention Bosh is so versatile and IMO a better player than Amare. Not to mention, LBJ and Wade are 2 of the best help defenders in the league.

 

In your opinion, was "The Decision" disrespectful and unnecessary?

 

Disrespectful? Maybe to people in Cleveland. Unnecessary? Probably. Let's be real though, this is arguably the biggest star in the NBA since Jordan. If you didn't think his decision was going to be publicized then you're nuts. It wasn't even LeBron's idea, believe it or not.

 

Will the Heat piss off Joakim Noah by dancing around and laughing during games?

 

I don't think there will be much of that this year.

1. Leader of the team as of today is Dwayne Wade. Dwyane Wade brought in LeBron & Bosh. And the sole reason he has accomplished more then these two guys as far as winning a championship goes when pieces are around them Wade has delivered where as this applies to LeBron more that he has failed twice when his teams were labeled to win it all when heading into the playoffs.

 

2. Win or lose after the end of this season Wade will still be the leader. Like I said in the first question Wade went out and recruited them both and I believe took less money out of the 3 to bring LeBron and Bosh here. And when the playoffs roll by the I believe Wade will shine brighter then LeBron in the playoffs.

 

3. In six season I see the Heat winning two titles. Even after this year the Lakers will still be there to contend with the Heat. The Lakers window of winning titles is still open from 4-6 years. Kobe at 32 and Gasol at 31 will still be there to contend for multiple titles. Kobe has shown slight signs of falling off but not drastically like a Tim Duncan has or Kevin Garnett has.

 

4. The Heat will get knocked off in the playoffs but it won't be till the Finals against the Lakers. Not just because I'm a Laker fan and that but I just can't really see a team stopping this team winning the title with there depth and size especially at the 4 & 5 spots. Arguably the best perimeter defense in the league with Kobe on one wing with Artest on the other and Matt Barnes coming off the bench is a deadly perimeter defense with two seven footers behind them only helps the perimeter defense even more since they can gamble a little more on getting steal then an average team with only one seven footer in the paint. And the Laker bench just got deeper this year with finally signing a real back up PG in Steve Blake which is a upgrade over Farmar. Theo Ratliff is also another upgrade over DJ Mbenga as far as defense goes. And I cannot emphasis how big Lamar is coming off the bench. Lamar with his versatile can kill a lot of players that play 4 that come off the bench with his ball handling skills and rebounding.

 

5. When the Heat fail to win this year wether right or wrong the blame will go to coach Spoelstra will get the blame because that's how the business work unless we see all of the Miami Heat 3 just flat out quit ala LeBron James against Boston the finals seconds of game 6 in Boston then the whole Cavs team followed LeBron after he threw the white flag up first.

 

6. Pat Riley won't be coaching this year but next year I can guarandamtee Pat Riley will be there. He will not pass this opportunity of coaching players of this magnitude and possible adding more rings to his collection of five.

 

7. When the Heat fail to win it all this season it will be the coaching. I can't just trust someone to handle all these egos and has nothing to show these guys that he had some success in this league. This is where Pat Riley can shine because he will command respect and everyone knows his track record with the five titles he has and Pat Riley knows somewhat how to handle egos since he did indeed coach the Showtime Lakers.

 

8. Obviously the Miami Heat trio will be better then that Knicks trio if that trio where to happen. Bosh vs Amar'e is arguable but when it comes CP3 and Melo vs LeBron there's just no match. Both can be playing there best and but LeBron and Wade at 70% is better then both Melo and CP3.

 

9. The Decision was unnecessary and straight out disrespectful to the city of Cleveland. The city of Cleveland loved LeBron James supported him through the good and bad times. Cleveland where at LeBron's feet and they loved him so much there's no word's to express how much Cleveland loved him. But LeBron had no remorse what so ever and went on national TV had the city of Cleveland on their tip toes still hoping he will come back despite reports that he was leaving. And when he finally said the Miami Heat was his choice you can feel the city of Cleveland pain on how humiliated and embarrass they were on what LeBron just did to them on National TV.

 

10. The Heat might not piss off Joakim Noah but I still believe LeBron will continue his dancing antic's that will piss of Joakim Noah still.

1. Dwyane Wade -- he's been the leader since 2004 and since they are yet to play a game that hasn't changed.

 

2. LeBron James -- people are saying 'This will always be Wade's team' buit i doubt Bron will let that happen.

 

3. between 0 and 2. i voted 2 because im generous... but it wouldn#'t suprise me to see them go ringless.

 

4. Lakers in the finals, but that's bieng generous. There are plenty of good ECF teams and we don't even know if it will be the Lakers in the finals.

 

5. Not this season, but it wouldn't suprise me to see him starting next season as their head coach

 

6. Other. i don't feel Bron and Wade will be able to work together unless one of them drastically changes their game.

 

7. Melo, Stat and CP3. they all compliment each others games perfectly.

 

8. Yes.

 

9. Yes.

Who is considered the leader of this team today?

 

all 3, its not necessary to pick one, each of them will do their part - a lot like the celtics team, with kg pierce allen and rondo

 

After the upcoming season ends, who will be considered the leader?

 

same answer as above

 

Six seasons, how many championships?

 

4

 

Who will knock off the Heat in the 2011 Playoffs?

 

God knows, but the only teams equipped are Celtics and Lakers so if it happens gotta be one of them

Will Pat Riley end up coaching the Heat before season's end?

 

No - but i dont understand why a lot of non-heat fans keep laughing at the fact that he will come back, thats the LAST thing you should want. because then the big three becomes the mighty four.

 

If the Heat fail to win it all this season, what will be the biggest reason why?

 

Injuries and No big man that can do both block+rebound while being able to run with the team, they have a bunch of centers that do 1 or 2 things but lack the thrid

Which trio would be better?

 

lebron wade bosh = wayyyyyyyy more versatile and way better defensively

 

In your opinion, was "The Decision" disrespectful and unnecessary?

 

well i was hatin on lebron the past year and a half (before that was quiet a big fan of watchin him play) so i was doin my little hating on "the decision" - it was kinda stupid to be honest, but at least he gave money to charity. but that text that i got that he said miami...oh man i was like oh [expletive], now i gotta stop hatin on him lol

 

Will the Heat piss off Joakim Noah by dancing around and laughing during games?

 

there is nothing wrong with laughing during games - the ON the court dancing is gay, the sideline [expletive] durin the times ur a cheerleader im cool with that, and the pre-game stuff i was always cool with that - people used to get so sensitive with the pre-game stuff i never understood, and they only started hatin on that 2 years ago. Bron and Damon Jones used to do it alllllll the time, but i guess when teams and players actually get relevant u gotta pick at everything

In other words, they will be the greatest team of all-time?

 

Right now, before watching them play together, I believe we could be witnessing the greatest trio of all time. I don't know if they are the best overall team yet, though. There are still some question marks in the roster.

 

Do you think they'll break the 72-win mark?

 

Tough question. Right now, for this season, I'm going to have to say 'no' because of some overall imperfections in the roster that might lead to enough losses throughout the regular season to not break the record.

 

However, after a year or two together when chemistry to built to the max and all positions are solidified, I think they have a good chance to break it.
