"We're from a town where it's sports over everything"

"Sorry if everyone thought we were going to go 82-0. It just ain't happening."

Before you get too cocky Mr. Wade, I didn't think you were going to finish the season 82-0.  But by the way you celebrated before the season started, I think you thought you were going to go 82-0.  Who threw that party for you anyways? When you all got together and acted like you just won the NBA championship the night before. Did LeBron promote that? We all know he's good at promoting himself. 


After 6 games into the Miami Heat's season, they are sitting on a 4-2 record. Now I'm not stupid, this group of guys will still win at least 50+ games. But this is not a TEAM (yet). Tonight while watching the end of the Heat-Hornet game, with the Heat trailing by three with the clock ticking down, I noticed none of the "Big 3" wanted to take that big shot. So who took it? Ironically, Eddie House. The shot didn't go down and the Heat fell to 4-2. It makes me wonder if Wade took it and missed, maybe next time he would let LeBron shoot because he missed the previous big shot and vice versa if LeBron took it and missed. LeBron and Wade's combined salaries are almost a quarter of a billion dollars. I'm sorry but if I'm the owner, one of those two better be taking that big shot.


That's the difference between the Heat's Big 3 and the Celtic's Big 3. Paul Pierce is taking that shot 9 times out of 10 if the ball can get to him. If Pierce misses the shot at the end of regulation, guess who's taking the final shot of overtime, Pierce (unless we need a three or there's a broken play). The point is no one on our team is afraid to take the big shot, miss or make and be worried about the consequences from teammates. It didn't look like that tonight in New Orleans, when the Heat had the final shot.
