I thought they were the champions last year? They dont seem anything like champions this year!!! Is it because Shaq is out of the lineup?? Cant be right? They still have wade and co backing up so whats the problem that they cant even maintain a 50 % winning percentage? Maybe because they are an aging team, but they were SO GOOD last year and they cant totally change overnight? Anybody please enlighthen me?

their defense has practically been destroyed with the numerous injuries. but, don't quit 'em just yet. once the shaq attaq comes back, that'll take some of the pressure off of alonzo mourning. there's still another 3 or 4 months b4 playoff time

Shaq makes a big difference!!! When he comes back and if he stays healthy you will se this team turn it around!! Wade is trying to do it all now and some other players have stepped up but they do need Shaq. Just take a look at what happened to Kobe when Shaq was ran out of town!!!

exactly how the Lakers were after Shaq left...Wade can't carry a team by himself just yet, hes not that good. It took Kobe a year to get it together and now look at the Lakers we're 26-14 without Odom and Brown! Kobe is better than Wade that's why Miami can't do anything without Shaq, its just an excuse to build time. =)

What happened to the Bulls after Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan Left? What happened to the Lakers after 2002 and after Shaq was traded? What happened to the Spurs after 2005? All these teams are like veteran teams. the Miami Heat is only 19 years old. they have a whole lot to accomplish and they already have a championship trophy under their belt. wait until they have really gained experience. The heat have been struggling for most of their careers, the fact that they have a championship just shows how much they had to go through. just give them time.

Well,MIAMI is doing kinda bad but not good because of SHAQ! and because they gaot older.D wade is trying to carry the team but we see that people l ike walker and posey dont step up.Only one guy can't carry a team.Also this team was made for wade and shaq to play together.And about the old part,miami has too many veterans and some of them will retire after this season like Garry Payton and Alonzo Mourning.Also they need to get fresh blood because even Pat riley is old.

yeah, i was wondering too. but i guess, age is a big factor. the second big factor is their DETERMINATION. i mean, Zoe, Payton, Walker, and the rest of those guys already have their rings. what more could they ask for? they just don't have the same willingness to win like thay had last season. actually from what i heard, those three are supposed to retire already., only if pat riley hadn't stopped them from doing so coz they don't have replacements for them yet. you know, when you want somethin so bad, adrenaline comes rushing into you like crazy and you're able to do what you (and others) thought you couldn't do, and maybe that's what happened to them last season. what they lack right now is determination, and hunger for winning once again.

on the initiating of the season i grow to be a warmth hater, and that i nonetheless am. yet i'm guy adequate to confess that I hate them because of the fact I understand the group they have prepare. As a Celtics fan on the initiating of the season I hated that the warmth have been going to be of project, and that they have got been for sure greater effective than that. I even have on no account hated warmth followers, nor do I hate any of the gamers in my opinion, what reason do I even have for that? the variety of human beings who say that James is a foul man or woman for leaving his old group do no longer look to get that he desires to win. What reason did he could desire to stay in Cleveland?
