That's why I didnt like that trade. You'd be better off getting picks for Ellis.

It will be a low one though and Richard Jefferson is terrible. I think I was just pissed about because POP gets the most out of Jackson. Thats the last fucking place I wanted to see him.

We're a great team no doubt. But it comes down to star power and the Heat have more of it. I just don't see any team beating them in a 7 game series this year.

The Bulls, Thunder and San Antonio are definitely capable of beating the Heat in a 7 game series. There is no team in the NBA that is going to torch through everyone. The media wants to turn Miami in to this unbeatable Giant, but they haven't earned that in my mind. I don't even think most Heat fans could argue that
Are they the favorites? Maybe. Unbeatable monster? Fuck no!

First, it was being the catalyst in the Heat team photograph showing support for Trayvon Martin's family.
Now, Miami Heat forward LeBron James impressed with another feel-good moment. On Sunday, The Oklahoman reported James' nice gesture when the team stopped to refuel on the way to Portland three weeks ago.
The newspaper, quoting an airport worker, said James urged the Heat players to take photos and sign autographs for military personnel. They, too, had stopped to refuel a dozen helicopters, according to the article.
James confirmed the story after the morning shootaround, saying he felt it was necessary to show support of the troops.
Great gesture. I've never thought of LeBron as an asshole, but he does have some maturity issues. I guess that understandable when the World has been sucking your dick half of your life.

I don't disagree. You typically provide an objective take.

Udoh was ok, he really wasn't anything special. The Warriors weren't going anywhere with Ellis and I imagine the best they could get for him was a completely broken down center.
Miami now 2-6 in their last 8 road games. Doesn't matter until playoff time, but you have to wonder WTF is up with them. Wade had some semi-chippy comments about LeBron last night. Are the wheels falling off already?
