eh. he is right about the heat this season not being the same heat team from last year's playoffs. if anything our victory over San Antonio was the best one of the season.
I still don't know what we or any team does with Memphis and Gasol/Randolph in a 7 game series.
it was a back to back on their court plus we didnt have amare or camby or shump
that's true. it's also true that the heat team that beat the thunder > the heat team that lost to the WIZ the night before. the heat seem disinterested. they seem to think they can turn it on like the old kobe/shaq lakers teams.
the knciks havent hit their stride yet. one amare and shump get back they add the best perimeter defeder and a second scoring option
i'm not saying the knicks aren't elite or not. frankly, debating whether a team or qb or whatever is elite to me is pointless because everyone has different definitions of what "elite" means so people can argue till the cows come home about that kind of stuff.
don't get me wrong. that 2nd heat win was awesome. i went into that game thinking we'd get blown out by a veteran elite team hell bent on washing the taste of the wizard loss and the season opening ass whooping out of their mouths.
but if you've been watching the heat this season you can't tell me they're playing at the same level they played at when they destroyed the thunder.
Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please
