When Bosh's shot is on hes extremely difficult to guard and he opens the lane.

If that's the only thing you're getting out of Bosh, just play Mike Miller then. He'll provide the same effect (well...an even better effect) and will actually give some effort.

It doesn't make any sense. If Indiana won game 1, this game would have been totally different. The entire series would have been totally different. Butterfly effect.

It happens all the time in football.

Most recently, the Broncos/Ravens game. Everyone was like...

"well if Holliday didn't return those two kicks, Denver would have had 14 less points and would have been blown out!"

Uhm no, that's not how it ****ing works.

You're right, they probably would've folded like a lawn chair after losing the first two at home and the series would've already been over before tonight. It's been this team's weakness for three years. They have no answer for true inside physical presence. It's why I think they are not one of the greatest teams of all time, no matter how many in a row they win.

He's been a HUGE disappointment. Cant hit a shot and simply looks lost on the court. The guy can jump out of the gym but playing the game with out a TON of mistakes has been impossible. He will drop 15 one game then the next miss 9 in a row and have 5 turnovers. We actually played a 2nd round pick rookie over him for most of the season.

Bosh is so goddamned soft and Wade is just ****ing shot. If LeBron wants to keep winning titles he's going to have to put his professional success ahead of his friends, especially Wade. Miami will never do it, but they need to unload him ASAP. He's not quite an amnesty candidate, but it's closer than most people want to think. He was a player whose game was completely dependent upon athleticism and now that athleticism is gone. He can't shoot and he can't get to the rim. He's essentially worthless.

They're certainly not going to go down as one the greatest teams of all time if Wade and Bosh are giving you nothing over entire postseasons. If this is what can be expected in the future from them, LeBron has to go.

Indiana is the perfect matchup for the Heat just like the Knicks were a perfect matchup for Jordan's Bulls. A rather uninspiring Knicks team full of hatchet men and thugs took them to seven games in the '92 ECF.

Miami wins Game 7 by double digits.

Well clearly now it's not looking like it... but they probably entered the discussion when they won 27 games in a row. Then they ran over everyone in the first two rounds. But now they've kind of been punched in the mouth. And the Spurs shouldn't be any easier. I was curious to see the Spurs or Grizzlies take on the Heat for that reason. But the Pacers have stepped up to the plate.

I wouldn't write off Wade yet he is basically playing on one leg. If he was healthy you would see a different result

Wade might be able to recover in the offseason. If he can't, though, man...his current form will make it quite difficult for the Heat to win anything even with LeBron playing at his ridiculous level.

When is he ever healthy though? He's injured every season due to his wreckless style of play.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Better not see Joey Crawford ref game 7.

He's never healthy. He was banged up the last two playoffs. You can't count on the guy in June. I know this sounds crazy, but if I were Miami, I'd think about flipping him to your team for Pierce, who has aged remarkably well.

Pierce would retire before going to Miami.
