There has been some discussion recently in our forum about just how good this new and improved Miami Heat squad is going to be in this upcoming season. What I would like to do is put my predictions here on public record so that they can either be praised or ridiculed at the end of the season. Let me preface these predictions by saying that I am in no way a Lebron James fanboy, but this is just how I see it… Here goes.
The Miami Heat will win 68+ games …
Today Gerald Wallace along with Tyreke Evans, Javale McGee and OJ Mayo were cut from Team USA. It would have been nice to see him make the team and wear the U.S.A. colors proudly, BUT as a Bobcats fan I’m not too sad about it. Because of his playing style he would have been the player most likely to ricochet off the elbow of some 320 pound Ukranian center. He also would have had the highest probability of landing headfirst while being undercut by an over-matched Kazakistanian small forward. I’m …
It appears we are in another summer of ‘remodeling’ the team into something better than it was last year. While the long term affects of this could be positive, our history with MJ/Larry shows this same type of thing will probably happen again next summer. My question is, is it worth it?
We just had the best season in franchise history with a group that hadn’t even been together an entire season. Wouldn’t it have been better to see what they could do with one full season together then re-evaluating? I …
***Let me first preface this post with a warning. This is not a shot across the bow at a “Rival” site. This is not meant as a burn for fan speculation. I respect and enjoy the folks referenced in this post and I’ll continue to read their stuff as I hope they’ll continue to read mine. This isn’t a pin to burst a bubble of a fan base. I’m a dude writing my thoughts, take them for what they are worth***
The word “source” is thrown around in the journalism community …
Welcome to Charlotte Erick,
A few words of advice… Rent don’t Buy. With a contract that calls for you to be paid $13 million unguaranteed, there is about a 99.999999999% chance that you are going to be traded or possibly even waived sometime between the time that Wipeout comes on tonight and this season’s trade deadline. Speaking of Wipeout:
Now back to Dampier. We would all like to give you a heartfelt welcome to town. Please enjoy your stay (as brief as it will certainly be).
Do you guys have any words of …
As part of the Bobcats/Mavericks trade, we would like to welcome former fan favorite Matt Carroll back to the Charlotte Bobcats.
In his last go around with the Bobcats in the 2007-2008 season, Matt only saw 14 minutes per game of court time. At the time, the thought was that his game didn’t really seem suited to be a Larry Brown type of perimeter player ( long, rangy, athletic, defensive minded ). Although I seriously doubt that he has added those tools to his toolbox, I hope that he does …
While Cavalier fans are up in the scenic city of Cleveland acting a fool doing things like this:
I’d like to look at the creation of the South Beach Superfriends from a different perspective, Primarily from the perspective of “How does this help the Bobcats”?
First and foremost removing Lebron James from the Cavaliers roster and removing Bosh from the Raptors roster eliminates those two teams from playoff contention in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs without Lebron is a 25 win team. Sorry Cavs fans, but 2010-2011 is going to be downright …
