    I'm guessing some Boston staffer changed the rim height.

    To be clear, when the Boston big three got together, they started the season 8-0 and 11-1.

    Bosh looks like a stiff who forgot to play basketball.

    I'm so loving how much Miami sucks.

    Bosh is going from a #1 in Toronto to a #3 in Miami. He'll need to learn to find out what his role will be with Wade back in the line-up.

    Speaking of rat ball. From what I've seen, this Miami team has no structure on offense.

    LeBron looks out of his element without the ball in his hands during most possessions. This is a problem I thought this Miami team would face.

    They aren't running a post, and they can only score consistently on the break. They are not difficult to defend in the half-court sets with 5 perimeter players. Plus, as I've posted before, they only allow one ball on the court during play.

    The Heat looks bad now, but once they get used to playing with each other, they will be a juggernaut. Some of it may be jitters by the Heat- they have been getting a lot of media attention and hype.

    Wade already thinking about his stats. He did the "dribble until the buzzer sounds, then launch the ball" move that tries to sell the fans that you were trying to get off a shot, but you just missed, when in reality, you're pissed that your dumbass teammate passed you the ball.

    Ray Allen is currently leading the league in scoring.

    Yeah, he definitely will need to find his way since he's their only real "post" presence. He's like LaMarcus and would rather shoot 15-foot jumpers. Going from a 1 to a 3 is going to be a tough adjustment for him.. and probably the toughest sacrifice out of their Big 3.

    Both LeBron and Bosh are average perimeter shooters. (and thats all they are doing) Lebron will start attacking the rim. I always thought Bosh was over rated. Not saying he isn't an allstar, just that he is over rated.

    As bad as Miami has been on offense, they have been worse on defense. Every Boston shot is basically uncontested.
