    The Season is here. The Heat this season is a trade deadline away and a season away from setting themselves up for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

    In the meantime, they will field a MUCH improved team, with experience and health alone.

    Predictions for the Heat:

    47-35 (4th in East) Loss in second round to the Orlando Magic in six.

    The NBA:

    #1 seeds: EC: Magic WC: Lakers

    The Cavs will dissapoint......This will be the Boston Celtics LAST hurrah, ....as they will beat the Magic in the ECF's...the Lakers will beat the Portland Trailblazers in the WCF's.

    Lakers beat Celtics 4-3 in the Finals to repeat as Champions.

    MVP: Kobe Bryant (Dwyane Wade will get REAL consideration this year)

    heat go 41-41, 7th in the east, and lose to celtics in the first round.

    finals, celtics over lakers in 6.

    mvp: kobe
    dpoy: artest parlays his l.a. media hype into the award
    coy: vinnie del negro (i might be putting too much faith in rose here)
    roy: stephen curry
    6th man: lamar odom (more media hype, crappy kardashian and candy stories)
    most improved: elton brand


    no real award, but kevin durant has to have a monster year this year. i'm hoping to get him in the second round in my fantasy draft.

    Personally I would like to see Dorell Wright get more playing time this season. We need to see what he is all about.

    44-38, 5th seed. **** the Hawks, yall some *****es; revenge IN YOUR HOUSE. Second round exit.

    I'm also predicting a BIG year for Michael Beasley. Critics silenced.

    But for "some reason" we'll open up the 2010 season top 5 in ESPN's power rankings. ;)

    In Bayside right next to the arena...the Tradewinds is a great bar..and they have the best Hooters on the planet.

    Try to sit in at least in the 300 section.

    the 400 section sucks.

    If you are driving...PARK in Bayside 2 hours before game time....it is cheaper and secure...as well as easy to get out after the game.

    Our Starting Lineup has leaked....

    According to IRA..there are a couple of surprises.

    PG Mario Chalmers
    SG Dwyane Wade
    SF Quentin Richardson
    PF Michael Beasley
    C Jermaine Oneal

    Haslem, Cook and Jones will be the top rotation guys off the bench.

    I called it all along but wasn't sure the coaching staff would have the courage to do it (Beasley starting at PF with Haslem coming off the bench). I thought it'd be James Jones starting, but Q-Rich had a pretty solid preseason. This is a needed change because with both Haslem and Beasley starting our bench is too thin, and we cannot afford the slow offensive starts again this year so it's time for Beasley to take over. I'm excited to see what Beasley can do with a cleared head and a lot more minutes than last season. As long as he continues to mature he'll be great.

    I'm also loving the idea that we've got three deadly shooters on this team. Exactly what's needed for a team that plays through Wade, Beasley, and J.O. offensively. Q-Rich is going to explode.

    he dropped 30 pounds and is at 6% body fat according to Riley.

    J O'Neil has to play better, to me he is the key to the season even more so than Beeze.

    He is in his contract season as well, we all know how that goes...:lol:

    Pat Riley training camps will do that

    Btw thanks for starting the thread.

    I saw a commercial with Q.Richardson on espn, he was talking about all the places he was tradeded to, then he said cant wait for Miami to re-sign Wade.

    So, are we also on the countdown til July 2010 to bring in a playmaker alongside Wade and company to start winning titles?

    I think they gave up on that. They seem to think hes more dangerous in the paint than from the wing.

    Not that far up the ranks. Carmelo Anthony is easily better if you're only talking perimeter guys. If not, then D12 as well. Roy is probably in the 15-20 range.

    I like Portland in the WCF, though. At least the semi's.

    great win but not at all suprising, given that the Knicks truly suck.

    Great to see JO dominate....and it is telling that Wade had a bad shooting night and we still win going away.

    Beasley is going to have a huge year.

    Mario Chalmers looks stronger and better driving the lane.

    The only negative was Carlos Arroyo having problems passing the ball.

    Haslem in his role will be great.

    Very Impressed with Q...the guy lost the weight and is dedicated...the Knicks suck..but they can put a ton of pressure on your perimeter.....and Q held up...

    Now onto that HOUSE OF HORRORS in Indiana.

    Can we say "Contract Year?" :lol:

    This I found interesting:

    Now that is just absurd, the Heat look like a solid team with inside and outside scoring options and a Franchise player in DWade, these basketball "analcysts" are worse than NFL "analysts".
