miami is basically a brand new team with two of its top 3 guns having only played together in practice and pre-season for a month...and really, since that's the case it's really all 3 that have to define roles.
folks are kidding themselves if they can take too much from this, which most pundits love to do to create great drama (that isn't really there).
the celts are older and have played together for the most part so they don't need to figure much out to start off. they are ready to roll.
give miami 30 games and i don't care if the celts even have a better record. we've seen the celtics break down over the past two years, and i expect it more this year, yet they will still be a top east team.
old as aristotle (shaq) in game 1 is not the same as shaq in game 75.
meanwhile ain't no way we are gonna see bosh score 8 and wade score 13.
these are two of the best at their positions.
meanwhile lebron showed us what he is capable of, and when they figure it out as the season goes on i still expect them to scrape the league.
p.s. they don't need a real point guard.
I think after 30 games this team will be killing the league. Because what I saw was even with the rust and missing a starter and playing against a great defensive team............. they were still down 3 in the fourth.
So to me, if you aren't 1 of the elitism teams in the NBA, what kind of game do have to play to insure that when 1 of the big three go off you aren't down double digits??? Does it have to be this bad of a performance, because the chemistry won't be this be bad forever.
