If they aren't going to "Fan Up" with Lebron and Wade on the court, then this little poster definitely is not going to help lol.

It wouldn't work on a lot of us but I think it's a pretty smart move. They're going to try and change the fan culture of Miami which isn't going to be easy. A Miami game is another one of those places where people go to be seen perhaps even more than to actually watch the game. It won't solve the problem but "baby steps". It's also an indirect reminder to the fans that this is a process. It might buy them a little latitude during their early season struggles.

Wow, LeNero James (that's Emperor Nero personality) isn't having the sort of impact they hoped for?

It couldn't of happened to a more self absorbed, removed from reality, narcissist.

Like Bull Durham. He's got a million dollar arm, but I wouldn't give 5 cents for that head.

All the talent, but such a loser.

One injury to the three, and they're franchise is probably out about 7 years. Unless they can continually get good players to play for the minimum, that of course changes everything. As can a gm the quality of Isaiah Thomas gifting them someone.

6-4 isn't the end of the world, and it's obviously early. But let's face it, the amount of hype they got (which by now everyone should realize is complete bs whenever its thrown at you about ANYTHING) people were thinking they'd see 30 wins before seeing 4 losses. So at 6-4, while early, could be a sign that Fantasy Land might not be all its cracked up to be.

I just can't wait for the high probability of finger pointing by LeNero at everyone else in a complete narcissistic breakdown sometime in the future (perhaps a couple of years).

It will happen, if he doesn't win a championship. His head screams loser with a capital L. Mentally it might be all downhill from here for him.

Pretty sad the heat feel like they have to take out an advertisement like that. Or maybe it's their subconscious knowing something isn't right. Who knows. One thing I do know, is that the heat name is a sorry knockoff our own Suns. I've always thought that.

It's like a company that can't name their action figures G.I. Joe's, so they call them a generic 'Tough Soldiers' or something lame. What provides the heat? Why the SUN of course.

I want to see their generic LeNero the Narcissist 'tough soldier' melt under the pressure. What should he do? Simple baby.

LOSE

I hope the Suns beat them tomorrow. My fear is that with our rebounding woes, Bosh is going to look like superman with 20+ rebounds tomorrow.

They have the same type of fans as the Lakers. They are never going to show up to watch warm ups! It's a see and be seen crowd. It's a trendy crowd, and right now that's the trendy place to go. If the team keeps harping on this Fan Up stuff, if anyone in Miami even pays attention, it will just cause alienation at best. Pretty stupid campaign, imho.

It is not surprising that the Heat with three top players are not the equal of a team like the Celtics with at least five top players.

There was just too much hype.

"The HEAT 2010-11 team has assembled a lineup of monumental proportions"

"Why would you want to miss one second of what's gonna go down this season?"
C'Mon man! Don't hype it up like this, then put out a warning to your fans and then come out of the gate at 6-4. That's .600. That would not have made the playoffs last year in the West and was good for a 5th seed in the East.

They like to flaunt themselves as if they're the second coming of the 95-96 Bulls, but that team didn't lose their 4th game until February!

For the first time in my life, there's actually a team out there that would cause me to root for the Lakers to win another ring. Congratulations LeBron, you just made me a Kobe fan...

Continuation of ridiculous. It all started with LeBron. The Heat's PR department just keeps it going . . . as well as LeBron's ridiculous TV commercial.

This (spoof) commercial is better:

"Lineup of monumental proportions" doesn't even make sense. That's the best they could come up with?

miami fans are incredibly lame...florida fans in general are. i mean you ever see the marlins or the rays play? two pretty good teams with 10,000 or less butts in the seats. i guarantee you if the suns had the big 3, every night would be a sellout.

Hey speaking of the Heat, it appears the two newest South Beach Billionairres ("The King" and Bosh are already throwing Erik Spolestra under the bus.

If I were he, I'd tell those egomaniacs to go to hell and quit. Isn't worth dealing with them.
