I really do not see this happening.They have a 3-17 record against the eastern conf.They are an overall 8-24 and currently behind the knicks which is just aweful.As a team they are giving up just under 100 points a game and they just dont seem to have that swagger or kick in there system.I dont really watch enough of them to see why things have been so bad but I think I know enough to say they dug themselves in a huge hole.


The Heat will bounce back. Dwayne Wade has the talent to carry a team as a one-man show later in the season. He can do everything, just like Lebron.

Another reason why the Heat will bounce back is because Shaq just hasn't found his comfort zone this season yet. With the hight and weight he has, I can see him bouncing back in a big way.

Smush Parker has lots of potential and the Heat will use this down the stretch. They also will make use of Ricky Davis's pure scoring touch. The Heat will be able to bounce back.


Well like you said Wade can carry his team like James but one of the problem is is that James and his cavs are one of the teams they are chasing.They also need to leapfrog teams like the Bulls who since firing there coach have played great.While I feel this team may turn around a little I dont think they can catch these teams.They are so far behind in the standings it forces them to play great basketball along with needing other teams to drop the ball.


Forfeited Turn


Not sure I have a whole lot to say.But the Heat losing the other night despite playing a good game doesnt fair well for them.They need to start coming up with big wins and they keep failing to


The Heat are playing in a division with who? Um...a Washington Wizards team with no Gilbert Arenas, a cooled off Orlando Magic, a struggling Charlotte Bobcats, and an average Atlanta Hawks. This is the ideal division for a team looking to make a comeback in a big way and with as much talent they have, they won't have any trouble

How can you compare Lebron James to D-Wade. Lebron James is one of the best players in the NBA. D-Wade is an overrated whinner. The ever aging Shaq is not a reliable threat, outside of D-Wade they really don't have a consistent offensive threat.
