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 …

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 …

The greatest summer of all time!  The GREATEST OFF SEASON EVER!!!!  Sunday, sunday sunday!!!!!  (That’s my montertruck preview voice)
It’s actually Wednesday and the fun starts at midnight (technically 12:01am Thursday July 1).  The Bobcats don’t look to be players in this off-season.  After going without a pick in the draft last week, adding some undrafted rookies (or summer league invitees, not sure how all that works), extending a qualifying offer to Tyrus Thomas and apparently playing chicken with Tyson Chandler (or Tyson and his people wavering in his potential on …

Inspired by the New York times article where William Rhoden proposed that LBJ should come down to Charlotte to play for his hero Michael Jordan, I wondered what would that look like? What would it look like to have the games most dominant force in the prime of his career wearing a Bobcats uniform?
I’m not delusional, I realize that King James winding up in Charlotte likely has less than a 1% chance of happening, but you still can let your imagination wander …

Last night the Bobcats defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 94-87 and extended their win streak to 3 games. In the process Gerald Wallace had a gianourmous game. He dropped 31 points, 14 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 posterization on the Cavs.  Speaking of that posterization that Lebron wound up on the wrong side of, It seems to be twitterverse approved. This is what they had to say about it:
Jay_Chips LeBron got Od’ed on by Gerald Wallace,lol
TEARS_OF_FIRE LeBron got yammed on by Gerald Wallace….WHEW, BUDDY!
GametimeBurnett dammmmmmmmmmmn gerald wallace put lebron on a …

Anyone that didn’t get goosebumps when they watched this last night should have their NBA fan card immediately revoked.
This was truly Amazing.
