Sports / Re: what do you think of the new Miami Heat?
« on: November 23, 2010, 12:51:26 am »Remember last time a team of "all the best" were thrown together and won in any sport?The fact that former Warriors coach Don Nelson knows how his former assistant and then coach Avery Johnson run the Mavericks, it is easy for the Warriors to beat Dallas.. From the start of the series I know Golden State can win, since the up-tempo style of play by Nelson allow them to beat the set plays of Dallas.. The reason of Golden State playing small in that series was the key of beating the 1st-seeded Mavericks.
Me neither.
The MJ Bulls were in the same basic situation, except they weren't simply thrown together, they developed a lot of chemistry though years of working together.
Players win games.
Teams win championships.
I have every belief in the world that the Heat can win several games, but what happens the second they hit a TEAM of nobodies in the playoffs? How much of the amazing 2007 series between the juggernaut Dallas and lowly Warriors did you watch? #1 Dallas was expected to take it all, but #8 Golden State took them out.
Dallas that year was a team of big names (and big names that had time to work together, at that!) but Golden State, as a team (and the team worked hard to get everything right, even if Baron Davis was the man), managed to beat them.
Lots of games, maybe even a historic season, yes.
But don't expect them to win it all.
And lastly, I really don't expect Miami to win it all this season.. Maybe in the next 3-4 years, but not now..
