Is Miami now the most hated team in the NBA?

[AsUdUdE]

Ok, so now that Lebron has chosen Miami along with Bosh and Wade, will they now become the most hated team in the NBA?

Seriously, I have no idea how other people feel about this, but now, I want to see Miami fall on their faces year in and year out...

They are the basketball version of Ivan Drago, and if they win, they SHOULD win, they have the most ridiculous team in the history of the NBA, and if they lose, it will be one of the biggest upsets in history.

Does it provide for a great storyline? absolutely, but they are now the NY Yankees, the USC Trojans, the early 1990's Miami Hurricanes, and I hope they fail...

But the question for all, do you root for Ivan Drago (Heat) or Rocky (29 other teams)...

I root for the guy outside scalping tickets (Sarver and the Suns)

Should I have hated some other team if they had signed LeBron?

And thats my thing, absolutely NOT.. If he had resigned with Cleveland, or signed with Chicago or even NY, to create that epic clash of two teams, I would actually be intrigued and kind of excited...

But the fact that now 3 of the top 6-7 players in the league are on one team.. thats what makes it disgusting, atleast for me..

I think its pretty sweet. I hope they dont lose a game.

 

[Folster]

I hope they die in a plane crash returning to Miami after getting blown out by the Cavaliers. Then we'll have to hold an emergency draft and Miami will have to field an expansion team and start from scratch.

 

[Gee!]

Go Heat!!!

Gonna love watching this.. Already nobody is talking about the Lakers.. And they just won the championship.. hahahaha.. You know Lakers fans are worried.. Theyll never admit it though.. But they scared..

LeBron you da man!!!!

Your a morbid sick person.. Disgusting.. And this coming from a guy that has said a lot of foul crap in my day.. But wishing death on someone is pitiful..

It was a joke, Dude. Come on.

Ya, I can see how I could have mistaken it for a joke..

I am only watching 2 NBA games next year. MIA @ CLE.

Im definitely clearing my schedule for these two games.

Reading the Cavs forum and Dan Gilbert's letter, I cannot wait for the drama. LBJ may not come out alive

Gee you got your wish. It will be interesting to see what kind of scrubs fill out their roster. How much of their salary cap is going to be taken up by those 3 ?

He might have a strained groin for that one.

Not worried at all ...

LBJ, Wade, Bosh, Beasley, and Chalmers are the only Heat players under contract.

Where's the bench?

Lakers are still the favorite to win it all.

 

[chickenhead]

I don't hate the Heat, but it was really tough for me to cheer for the Celtics against the Lakers in 2008 because I was so sick of hearing about the ready-made Big 3. This is going o be 10 times worse.

In your dreams.

Bosh
James
Wade
Chalmers

They will get veterans like Raja Bell, Brad Miller, Shaq, Haslem, JO, Korver, Miller, Butler and others to fill out the roster nicely.

Edited to remove Beasley... LOL

4 players do not make up a team.

 

[Divide Et Impera]

I thought JO signed with BOS....

I am sure their will be plenty of bandwangon veterns wanting a ring. They are going to have to play for minimum salaries.

I could swear the Lakers are made up of 4 players and a bunch of players that aren't worth more than the minimum.

I dunno you could argue a similar position if he went to Chicago with Rose and Boozer. So I dont really get the hate. Yet you would have been OK with chicago?

 

[Buckybird]

This is funny as hell. Cavs fans hate LeBron like no other.

[AsUdUdE]

he did...

It will be interesting to see who else signs there now... No way Chalmers gets away, but they don't have any young players (beasley execpted ofcourse) so they will have to sign minimum level guys and 1 mid level guy each year...

If one of the big three gets hurt they are SCREWWWED...

Rose and Boozer are good players, Rose is GREAT, but they are not Wade/Bosh...

And I thought it would be great to see a Wade/Bosh/Lee? team VS a Rose/LeBron/Boozer team for the next 6 years... that would have been epic..

Instead we get a dominant team with all three, and then the other 29 teams in the NBA...

Not saying I am right, but that's just where I was coming from..
