Well if you remember correctly, at the beginning of the year they were like 8-9. That sparked concern right then. Soon players and analysts were saying they'll improve as the season moves along.
Even with the injuries to the stars, you would think Chris Bosh, Lebron, and Wade could lead a team by themselves. They were for what, 6, 7 years? It seems as if they are leaning on each other too much.
Anyway, the Celtics won their first year together. It's all about the pieces and players you put on a team. You can't just got 3 of the best players in the league, and leave no money to get any ROLE players, or bench players. I think OKC is doing a GREAT damned job making a team! What started out as a losing, small market team has become a serious contender for the title. Look at OKC's roster! Not anyone that special other than Kevin Durant. But each player their has a role that they are more than willing to play.
As for the last part...... :FU:
:carling:
At the begining of the year Wade was out. He was also out almost all of the preseason. After Wade came back Bosh went down and so did Lebron for a short while. Those first 15 games there was only 2-3 were all of them played normal game time.
5 game losing streak to start the season (Wade was out) 10-3 in the next games (Lebron and Bosh were out at various times, along with Wade still having problems with his knee) 0-4 (Again Wade had knee problems and they hit a rough spot) 12-1 (Everyone was healthy). They have proved that when all of them are in they win games. When they start slacking and getting the big heads and slacking off spolstra kicks "there hung dicks" and gets there head in the game.
Westbrook, Perkins, Green, Robinson (still a good support). I might take those people over what the heat have right now. People think the heat have absolutely no bench, when they do. There bench just doesn't play defense well, which is what they need right now. The players that do play defense well (Miller) don't put up any points or many other stats so they don't fit into the system well. Just wait till the eat get a multi dimensional offense and defense that works for them. Wether it be this year of next they will get it and they will win championships.
Unlike the Bulls/Knicks/Celtics/Nuggets who just don't have the pieces to win a title. And who made a trade for a superstar that is full of himself. Or a team that is way past there time and is not going to be able to keep up with the young teams. Or a team that has no talent :carling:
But hey, why not.
