Now that everybody keeps talking of Wade, Bosh, and LeBron as the nWo, how awesomely heelish would it be if they came strolling out to the nWo theme during pre-game intros.

Oh, the Heat will make the Finals next year, even if David Stern has to officate the games himself. ;D Can you imagine the s***-ton of calls the Heat are going to get in their favor? It'll be staggering. Just watch, Chris Bosh in a game is going to going to like shoulder block the shit out of like some defender on the San Antonio Spurs and the Spurs player will get a traveling call despite not holding the ball.

Also, the Heat is in kind of a problem. 3 of their 6 roster spots belong to Forwards(Beasley, Bosh, and James, meaning one of these guys is riding bench....sorry Beasley....), and the other 3 belong to Guards(2 Point and 1 Shooting). Basically, they have no Centers(the closest thing they have is an unsigned draft pick, which pretty much means he's getting hired).
James and Bosh is a Forward combo not many teams can handle, but with them looking to have scrubs/noobs at Center and the Shooting Guard reserves, this team is definitely gonna be pushed around by teams with good Centers. So on that basis, until they get a better Center, I'm taking Orlando or Boston in the East.

It'll so fun seeing how many games Miami can win. They only have 6 freaking players right now. That's a starting line up and a one person bench. Plus, who is to say that having all 3 of these guys on the same team is a good thing? They may be great friends in real life, but I just don't think their playing styles will mix together well. And considering all 3 are All-Stars, they will all be expecting the ball. I'm sorry, as awesome on paper as Bosh-Wade-James is, this team is just doomed to fail. At the very least their first one or two years will be really rough. I'm not expecting any titles from this team until Year 3. I remember reading in Bill Simmons' column about how much chemistry they developed playing in the Olympics. But when Spain was starting to beat them in the Gold Medal game, none of them would volunteer to take over the game for fear of stepping on each other's toes. Then someone did take over...his name was Kobe. So basically, they do have chemistry, but they also all hold back so none of them overshadow the others? Interesting....

Simmons said it best: Doing that to Cleveland via live primetime tv was a giant eff you.

No other coach could solve a puzzle like this outside of him & Phil.

The second the team goes from 13-1 to 14-3, Riley will start getting his suits dry cleaned and his throat rested, ready to scream again.

Phil Jackson: (30 seconds after the Lebron announcement) Uh, just kidding. I retire.

Question for everyone. Let's say it is worst case scenario for Miami and after two seasons, they've come up short. As that happens, the in fighting begins. If it becomes Starbury and KG and someone's gotsta go, who goes? Wade is obviously beloved down there, but LeBron is likely still going to be considered the best player in the NBA. Bosh wouldn't be the problem, it would be one of the two alpha dogs.

They need one of them to have that "killer" mentality when the game is on the line. I'm thinking Wade will be that guy. He'll look at Bosh and see he just wants to be seen on a contender, then he'll see LeBron taking "yearbook" photos of the roster. That's when he'll remember, "this is MY team...and I'm older than you punks...GIVE ME THE DAMN BALL!"
