I doubt it, Shaq is getting older, and since Zo and GP got their rings their heart will probably decrease.

It's over. Just please grow up and just go on. It's only a Final's game.But, It won't be easy for us to repeat. But, I think we will be playing the Suns in the Finals.

There are a lot of great teams out there and shaq is aging.
So what if Shaq is getting older? If I remember correctly, Shaq wasn't the one who put up back to back 40 point games and a 36 point game in game 6. If I remember correctly Shaq wasn't the one who won the Finals MVP. Shaq wasn't as important as Wade was, Shaq will still be Shaq and effect the game without even touching the ball.I can answer this question correctly as soon as the season starts where we will know who will be in the bench, since thats a really big problem for us right now.
Nope...no chance IMO...Detroit won't roll over and die again next year...and my surprise pick out of the east...New Jersey...I think they're gonna make a run and be in the finals...against Dallas, of course...

Any team who wins a championship has just as good as a shot as winning next year without losing any key pieces. New Jersey doesn't have the strong inside presence they need yet. How do you know Detroit won't lose again, they still have Flip as there coach.
No, no possible way. GP, Zo, Walker and Shaq are all in their 30s now, knees, backs, arms are getting old. Unless wade is a 35 ppg scorer, then I doubt it will happen.

Zo and Gary are retiring so Phil will be making a few additions to the bench, the starting lineup will remain the same most likely. I like the fact people are counting us out again, hey we won the championship being underrated.
I think the Miami Heat will either get to the Semi Finals... or maby even to the Finals.. but i dont see them winning 2 years in a row.. but i see them going far.
Well... I've been busy watching football the past 10 years, so I don't know much about who's in the NBA... But I've been a heat fan for a while... This past season I noticed the following things...1. Heat can repeat. But whether or not they will depends on what changes are made. The transition defense is weak, and other than Posey, Haslem, and Wade, the other players aren't paticularly good on defense. Zo has become a defensive threat of late, but I expect him to retire now that he has his ring...2. Shaq is right, Wade is the best there is right now... And if he continues to develop his long-range shooting, he will be the best for some time...3. We need a guard that can consistenly hit long-range shots. I noticed that when Jason Williams or Udonis or Posey would get a hot hand outside, Wade was able to get to the basket inside CONSTANTLY. What we need is more consistency outside from the other players.4. We need to find Shaq's replacement soon... Shaq's presence takes some heat off the outside, and the outside is currently our weak point in my opinion.
