To early to predict this, but it would seem that things are not going to be as easy as they must have thought when they got together.

Ultimately, it may come down to James/Wade having to convince someone else to come on board for a reduced salary- and it seems to be a PG is really needed for that team.

Does not seem that James can run the team as well as I thought he could.

What a shame.

tru tru—they might turn it on in the playoffs. but what i don't get is, why doesn't Wade have the ball in his hands when the game counts? that's the coach...

Papabear Says

If they do they are crazy. Not only will they be taking a salary dump but the players around them want to be stars too If star point guard come in and he gets more money. How will the other player feel after they took a salary dump. They get no attention and when they leave Miami other teams ain't gonna want to pay them that much. They will say prove to me that you have game.

The move to sign Mike Miller long term may be what kills this team. They should have tried to go after another young big or 5; there are a million James Jones type players out there who are young and can shoot.

Sorry for the hijack but his is one of the best scenes in cinema. Tom Hanks is the greatest.

On the crying thing?
My god... I cant imagine that being true. Its insane. If you just lost game 7 of the finals and your two best friends are retiring at the end of the year who knows... maybe, but a regular season game against the Bulls? I'm going to assume there is more to the loss that created the crying because no grown man can be that big of a p^ssy. Maybe Bosh slept w/ Gloria and got Delonte's herpes? That could cause some tears... who knows.

Assuming the Knicks are there it will be interesting to see who we draw in round one and who our "stars" play.

Stoudemire and Anthony were bantering and laughing about players on the Miami Heat crying after their loss earlier Sunday to the Chicago Bulls, with Stoudemire fingering Chris Bosh as the watery-eyed one (although Bosh, when asked by reporters in Miami whether he had cried, said he almost had but did not).“I heard Chris Bosh was crying tears,” Stoudemire said.

“Tears?” Anthony asked.

“Yeah, tears,” Stoudemire replied.

You’d assume that players talk to players, and it is ridiculous to think that Bosh would cry after a regular season loss on the surface. But it also is a pretty good indication that he’s not a robot.

He’s human.

It’s an example of how, if true, Bosh would have been eaten alive here by the pressure. Think about it, the only people in New York who aren’t really scrutinized in New York are the one’s who do the scrutinizing.

i don't think Amar'e and Carmelo should be giving the Heat any motivation — especially come playoff time if we have to meet them sooner than later...

hahaha.. dudes getting clowned..

they are fragile..

I had a real problem with wade saying" I guess the world is a better place with miami losing"... really? what a douchebag... It is not that serious wade... what a punk!!

I really hope the Knicks play the Heat in the first round... and when Bosh gets to the line at MSG the Garden bursts out into spontaneous crying. Can you imagine?

My money is on bosh and LeBron being the cry babies too. Bosh is a little bitch, and he said that he "didn't cry, but almost did." Is that like being halfway pregnant? And LeBron apparently spoke to his teammates about his repeated 4th quarter failures in teh lockerroom. That has "I WEPT BECAUSE I'M NOT A MAN" written all over it.
