If Lebron goes to Miami....the Rockets will suffer.

Please people. This will not hurt the Rockets, but only make them greater.

If you're a Longhorn fan, the triumph over USC was something more. The satisfaction that came from beating the "best college football team of all time" with all the hype and Heismans elevated that game and victory beyond the norm.

If you're a New York Giants fan, beating the Patriots was probably a sweeter experience than the Parcells Super Bowl wins because nobody gave you a chance against the greatest team ever.

If you followed Villanova, that championship was extra special because those kids played at their highest level and beat one of the most powerful teams in NCAA history.

When the Rockets team beats the Heat in the finals, it will be that much sweeter for all the crow that the bandwagon fans and the ESPN hype machine have to eat. Relish the challenge, don't fear it.

 

they still dont have a center... we have Yao... nuff said!

 

^ Gets it.

So much truth in this post you know these delusional homers are squirming.

I just repped you.

 

I like how your pep talk fails to leave out any NBA upsets, historically NBA favorites win. Only time I can think of in the last 15 years that it wasnt the favorites were those Detroit Pistons who beat the Lakers. But they benefited greatly from arch enemy number 1 Karl Malone getting hurt.

The favorites the last few years Celtics and Lakers, if Garnett wasnt hurt 2 years ago they would have beat the Magic and we would have had 3 celtics vs lakers finals in a row. The media usually gets it right with the NBA, its a star driven league. Lakers were picked by almost everyone this past year, maybe a few Cavs votes at the beginning of the season.

The Heat automatically become the favorites in the East no matter what all the jealous Clutchfan haters think if Lebron goes to Miami. Like I said by 2012 they will have some cap space to pick players with a specific skillset, ie 3pt shooter, defensive minded center. They wont need role players that do like 3 different things. Some of you are severely underrating Pat Riley.

James and Wade together is like having jordan and magic on the same team.
James can be the 6'9 pg which is something he has shown he can do, he is one of the assist man in the league and could average 10 plus if he had played with playmakers or finishers before. Wade seems to be the more clutch, better shooter. Then throw in Bosh, thats just gravy...everyone can hate but when the Vegas odds come out, Im sure they will be the favorites year in and out for the next 6 years.

 

couldn't have said it better myself.

 

I dont see how the Rockets will suffer by an East team that gets stronger? It just gets our chances in advancing through the playoffs a little bit better. If we do meet the Heat in the Finals...anything can happen. Injuries are a part of sports. Luck is as well. I think this power shift to the East is helping our chances greatly.

 

This.

 

Honestly? I'd root for Kobe in that scenario.

 

I didnt read the whole thread, and i dont know if this was posted already but look at the Lakers they had Malone, Kobe, Shaq, Payton, and they couldnt win against a team with 0 superstars. So they are still beatable, and its about chemistry, how they play together.

 

I think by signing with Miami he admits that he cant lead the team to victory on his own.. http://video.msg.com/Home/KNL-Discusses-LeBron-s-Decision-7-8
