maggsmaggs Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 11, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) I just think its pretty hard to predict next year, let alone 3-5 years from now. If the Heat are in the finals the next 2 years, Id start to agree, but as of now, they havent even made 1 NBA final. Its just way to speculative for me. Definitely agree, but basketball is probably the easiest sport to predict of them all in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 11, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) Comparing Bosh and Dirk is just silly. There are way better comparisons, so no real reason to compare those two. Lamarcus Aldridge is a way better comparison for either of them really.

He eluded me. Point remains the same, though. Back to the basket post-players are nearly extinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I believe, for this Era, the Heat would be dominant. The way the salary cap structure is, the fact that the next few drafts aren't going to be top tier, and the fact that they have 3 All-Stars, with 2 being top 5 players of their Era, I have reason for concern for the Bulls. I posted this on another board, the Bulls are like a baseball team. They have too many specialists, but not enough two way players or guys with potential to be two way players. Deng is the only true two way player and he's inconsistent. I think that's why Thibs likes him so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the franchise tag that Stern is now pushing, I think the players will win this battle. The franchise tag he's putting out there is not even a true franchise tag, it's just more of what they have now. If a guy stays with his current team, they can offer him the most dolo.

Soxbadger Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) If they play Rose he wont be option 3 or 4. Kind of different when Miami is focusing on Allen, Pierce and KG. I would expect Wade or Lebron on Rose. Edited May 12, 2011 by Soxbadger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me why I had trouble getting back in to the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Refs definitely helped the Heat out this game, which is a shame considering they were up 3-1 in the series.
