    On the contrary... I think viewership will go up. I think people are going to want to watch this "super team". I know I will. I want to see how well those three play together. Will they dominate or will they struggle to find an identity? Is it LeBron's team? Wade's team ?Certainly not Bosh's team. If they sputter at all, they could easily implode. Tell me that's not entertaining?

    Who has the ball in the clutch is a good question. If they work it right that actually goes in their favor. Just mix it up on the other teams and they can't really key on anyone. You literally cannot double team three players in basketball so somebody has to have some room to make a move.

    2004 Lebron and Wade teammates... 3rd place.

    2006 World Championships finished 3rd with Lebron, Bosh and Wade!

    It took Kobe bringing them together to win! Fear not good citizens!!!

    If this is indeed, true, I honestly think it's gonna blow up in their faces. As many have pointed out, there's only one ball. I just don't think it's gonna work out for em, and I really hope it doesn't. What a bunch of pussies. Man I hope Oden stays healthy.

    THAT is interesting...wow.

    I'm into Astrology, specifically Jyotish the ancient astrology of Vedic India. I wondered years ago if it was Shaq who boosted that team (or rather his chart). LeBron, Wade and Bosh couldn't get it done in 2006 versus arguably weaker competition probably with BETTER role players. VERRRRYYYY interesting. I've long known that LeBron wasn't a winner and that I'd rather have Roy let alone Kobe taking a clutch shot. Very interesting that you pointed that out. By the way in case folks are interested certain things should get better for Oden in November of this year and he should REALLY get a boost in 2011 specifically June of 2011. His chance of Injury should drop tremendously after June 1st of 2011. November should be a bit better but he is running a cycle with potential for accidents until 06/01/11 (He's been running it for years so don't freak out and most of the worst parts of that cycle are in the past).

    I'd love to see the implosion. If they don't win the title, it'll be considered a failure. That'll be entertaining.

    "The Decision" LOL what a prima donna. If this Miami thing is true I'm sure LeBitch is livid that it got leaked tonight. Along with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America... :biglaugh:

    I know you're being tongue-in-cheek, but there may be some truth to that idea. If we're entering a phase of "superteams", a healthy Blazers squad is as well-positioned as any team to take advantage of players looking to improve their lot.
