Here's to hoping Miami crashes and burns.
May they never win a title.

I think Knick fans disrespect the Pacers given we nearly swept them.

They finished with the 5th best record and are deep.

The model of success for small market teams is depth. Spurs been great at it with an anchor like Duncan but Pacers seem to have a nice formula. Seems to be the model where Denver is going also.

It might not be a championship model but you come up on a team with an injury like Bosh has the balance might tip in your favor. What you hope is one of the players steps up and can close. AKA: Go with the hot hand!

The Starphuched get to vulnerable to an injury. It never is easy for any team to lose an allstar caliber player in the post season but when your top heavy as miami is it can be problematic.

The game last nite was Wades. Looked Indy was not going to let Lebron have the ball but was willing to let Wade beat them. And he did not.

Knicks seemed to put out a different look every 8-11 games but I'd like to have some Miami without Bosh and a healthy Lin.

I don't know we still beat them but the games would have been closer. I like our chances against Indy also.

Anyone in the east for that matter! Except a healthy Miami!

Over hyped players. I have seen better players than Wade and LeBron.

I dont think the Pacers are just making Wade/Lebron look bad - I think it makes the Knicks look awful.

We have Stat, Melo, and Chandler - 3 much bigger names than any player on the Pacers - and we only got 1 game.

Now I would point out that Granger looks like he can match Lebron's size which helps the Pacers defend. Even if we had a healthy Shump I think it is a tall order for our guards and even Melo to guard him.

That being said, we should have been more competitive.

I still think the Heat can turn the series around but they look like they are struggling.

We were lucky to get that one game (Bibby be praised ).

Pacers have better ball movement in the playoffs, defense, and they're playing with a chip on their shoulders.

They're a well balanced squad and they're hungry, can't say that about these Knicks. We played them well in the regular season in part because the Pacers were talking trash and the Knicks responded with some attitude. I didn't see the same attitude in the playoffs.

They're talking on ESPN about trading Bosh and Wade to the Magic for Howard. Interesting idea.

Wow if Miami goes down early I can definitely see that. Orlando will never get better value in return

Bosh wasn't injured when the Heat played the Knicks.

So any contribution Bosh makes is larger than what our big 3 makes? Indiana doesn't have a big 3. Miami doesn't have Bosh. Somehow Bosh's absence is what tips the scale and instead of losing by 10 to 35 Indiana blows out Miami.

That trade would probably get Lebron his ring if Howard recovers from his backiotomy.

Bosh is mediocre and Wade is aging. Not a smart trade for Orlando.

Now you have two guys who can't hit clutch free throws.

I don't buy this Bosh and Wade for Dwight Howard rumor. It's too much to give up for Dwight Howard. I think the Heat are going overboard if you do this. You have LeBron, Howard, and then Mario Chalmers? Bosh is a little better than just a toss in. Even right now, Bosh is one of the top 20 players in the league and Wade is easily in the top 5. Leave out Bosh and it still might be the best deal Orlando gets. Wade for Howard is hard to match. I guess we'll see.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

To add to that, it goes even deeper as Miami is under .500 for the season without Bosh and play great without Wade. Biggest reason is Bosh is all Miami has in the frontcourt offensively and he allows Lebron to guard a player of his size not be oveatched by PFs like West.

Howard and Nelson, Anderson or Turkeyglue. 2 for 2. I think Miami will do it to get the arguably the 2 bsst players on the same team. It would be like shaq and kobe. Well a poor mans because Lebron is not Kobe. Like Bonn said Wade is breaking down a bit having logged a lot of minutes but so has garnett, pierce & allen

Thread is hilarious.

This is why Bosh is important. The guys jumper is money.

Haslem has sucked the last 2 yrs. I thought it was the injury but this guy has regressed.

I don't feel bad for the Heat because they can easily move Bosh, Wade, or Lebron.

that's why I'd be pulling for this trade to go through. Just to watch both of them squirm in the playoffs it was be must see tv. And never win a title
